Yes

In the whirlwind of the late '70s and early '80s, Yes was experiencing some significant shifts. By the time of their live performance captured at Madison Square Garden on September 4, 1980, the band had just released their album *Drama*. This record marked a pivotal moment as it was their first without founding member Jon Anderson, with Trevor Horn stepping in as lead vocalist, which brought a fresh yet somewhat controversial sound. The *Drama* era showcased Yes's experimental edge, employing new wave influences, and fans were eager to see how this transitional phase translated to a live setting. Interestingly, the band performed not just in the venue but also on their private jet, perfectly blending the rock star lifestyle with the grandeur of New York. That time encapsulated a whirlwind of creativity and change, leaving both the band and its fans at a thrilling crossroads in their musical journey. What an exhilarating period it was!
