Yes

Ah, Yes—what a fascinating band, right? By the time they took the stage in Dortmund on June 24, 1984, they were deep into the promotional whirlwind of their album *90125*, which had been released less than a year prior. This was a pivotal moment for Yes, as *90125* marked a shift towards a more radio-friendly sound, thanks largely to guitarist Trevor Rabin's influence. The album produced the iconic hit "Owner of a Lonely Heart," and it really showcased the band's ability to blend their progressive roots with more mainstream rock. Now here they were, performing in front of an energetic crowd at the Westfalenhalle, showcasing fan favorites while also introducing newer material. It’s interesting to note that this era saw a revitalization for the band, as they were able to reach a wider audience while still staying true to their intricate musical style. The combination of classic tracks like "Starship Trooper" with their fresh hits created a dynamic experience—one that fans still cherish today. Isn’t it wild to think how far they've come, and how their sound has evolved while still maintaining that unmistakable Yes essence?
