Yes

In June 1984, when Yes rocked the stage at Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, they were riding the wave of their album *90125,* which had just come out the previous year. This was a significant pivot in their career, marking a shift toward a more commercial sound, largely influenced by producer Trevor Horn. The album featured hits like "Owner of a Lonely Heart," showcasing their ability to blend progressive rock with a pop twist, which was a slight departure from their earlier, more intricate arrangements. What’s really fascinating is how *90125* revitalized Yes, drawing in new fans and allowing them to tour extensively. By the time of the live recording, the band was at a high point, experimenting with their image and sound, and the performance captured not only a band in transition but also a moment where they embraced a fresh start. This concert is a perfect snapshot of Yes during a vibrant chapter of their evolving history.
