Yes

In 1979, Yes was riding the wave of their expansive sound and intricate compositions, freshly emerging from the release of *Tormato*, an album that showcased a mix of their classic symphonic rock style and elements that catered to the changing musical landscape. This was a time of experimentation for the band, marked by a struggle to balance commercial appeal while holding onto their progressive roots. The concert at the Hollywood Sportatorium on June 30, 1979, captured in the live recording, is particularly notable. It features the band performing a vibrant mix of tracks from both *Tormato* and their earlier classics. Interestingly, this period also reflected internal tensions within the band, as they were grappling with both commercial pressures and artistic integrity. The energy of the live performance, as heard in the recording, underscores their ability to connect with fans even amidst these challenges, showcasing a band fully committed to delivering an unforgettable experience.
