Yes

Hey there, music lovers! So, let’s dive into a pivotal moment for Yes during their Big Generator Tour. By January 1988, when they performed live in Hollywood, the band was buzzing with renewed energy, having just released their album "Big Generator" in the previous year. This album marked a transition for the group, embracing a more polished, pop-rock sound that was a bit of a departure from the intricate progressive rock they were known for. Interestingly, the live recording from the Hollywood show features a tight setlist that showcases songs primarily from "Big Generator," like “Rhythm of Love” and the title track itself. It’s worth noting that only “Roundabout,” a classic from their earlier days, made the cut. This blend of old and new illustrates how Yes was trying to bridge their storied past with contemporary trends at that time. Talk about walking a tightrope, right? The energy was palpable, and it really captured Yes at a unique crossroads in their illustrious career.
