Yes Live Performance of 'Hold On' at Westfalenhalle, Dortmund, Germany

Venue: Westfalenhalle 1 Location: Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany Date: June 24, 1984

In June 1984, when Yes performed at Westfalenhalle 1 in Dortmund, they were riding high on the wave of their album "90125," which had dropped the previous year. This album marked a significant shift in their sound and commercial appeal, featuring the hit single "Owner of a Lonely Heart." It was a pivotal moment for the band, who were trying to balance their progressive roots with a more radio-friendly approach. Interestingly, "90125" was produced by Trevor Horn, known for his innovative production techniques—he really brought a fresh energy to the band's music. During this live recording, you can feel that excitement in the air; the band was eager to showcase their new sound and connect with audiences who had waited patiently for their comeback. Plus, the concert took place as Yes was revitalizing their lineup, with new faces bringing fresh dynamics to their performance, making this show a magnetic fusion of past and present.
