YES Live in Philadelphia: Performing 'Big Generator' - Full Concert

Location: Philadelphia, PA, United States Date: November 30, 1984

Back in 1984, Yes was riding the wave of their album "90125," a major commercial success that marked a new direction for the band. This was a significant shift, as it leaned more towards a polished, radio-friendly sound, earning the group both new fans and the recognition they sought after the somewhat tumultuous years of the late ’70s and early ’80s. The live recording from Philadelphia on November 30, 1984, captures the energy during the "90125" tour, right on the heels of the album’s thriving popularity, especially with the hit single "Owner of a Lonely Heart." It’s fascinating to think about how this live performance brought the essence of their studio sound to life, showcasing their evolution while retaining the progressive rock flair that defined their earlier work. Watching this show offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment for Yes, blending their historic roots with a contemporary kick that resonated with a diverse audience.
