Yes Live Performance in Philadelphia: Intro, Almost Like Love, Drum Solo, Hold On
In November 1987, Yes was riding the waves of a major comeback. Their album "Big Generator," released earlier that year, marked a pivotal moment for the band following a tumultuous period in the '80s. It showcased a more accessible sound, blending their progressive roots with elements of pop—a shift that sparked a mixed reception among hardcore fans. This live recording from the Spectrum in Philadelphia captures that transitional phase beautifully, featuring tracks that highlight their evolving style. One interesting tidbit? The 1987 tour also marked the return of members Chris Squire and Alan White, who had been pivotal in crafting their signature sound. You can almost feel the energy in the air as they performed older classics alongside newer hits, demonstrating their resilience and ability to adapt. This performance not only reflects where Yes was at that moment but also hints at the enduring legacy they would continue to build.
