Yes - Live in Detroit, MI | Full Concert | Big Generator Tour

Venue: Joe Louis Arena Location: Detroit, Michigan, United States Date: November 21, 1987

In November 1987, when Yes performed live at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, they were deep into the Big Generator Tour, supporting their album "Big Generator," which had been released just a few months earlier in September of the same year. This album marked a transitional phase for the band, as it blended their classic progressive rock sound with elements of the 1980s pop rock scene, a shift that was evident in tracks like "Rhythm of Love" and "Almost Like Love." Interestingly, this period also reflected the band's lineup changes, as new members brought fresh influences to their music, demonstrating Yes's ability to evolve over time while maintaining their hallmark complexity. The Detroit concert captures a dynamic moment in their career, not just showcasing their new material but also celebrating a loyal fanbase that had journeyed with them through numerous transformations, both musically and personally. Truly, it was a concert that echoed Yes’s enduring legacy in the rock world.
