Yes

Before the iconic Chicago performance on June 9, 1979, Yes had just released their album "Tormato" earlier that same year, in the spring. This album, while not as celebrated as some of their earlier works, featured a mix of the progressive rock sound they were known for, alongside a more streamlined approach that was becoming evident in their music. Interestingly, this live recording captures a pivotal moment in their career. It was during a transitional phase where they were balancing the complex arrangements that defined early Yes with a more accessible sound as they navigated changing musical landscapes. This particular concert was the second of a three-night residency at the International Amphitheater, highlighting their popularity at the time. Fans were treated to an electrifying set, and there's something undeniably special about experiencing their intricate compositions live; you really feel the energy in the air!
