Yes

On February 22, 1988, Yes delivered a dynamic live performance in Austin as part of their Big Generator Tour. This tour followed the release of their studio album "Big Generator," which came out just a few months earlier, in September 1987. The album showcased the band's signature blend of progressive rock with a more polished sound, reflecting the pop influences of the late '80s. Interestingly, "Big Generator" was a bit of a turning point for Yes, emphasizing a more commercial approach than their earlier works. The concert in Austin was unique not just for its vibrant energy, but also because it marked one of the band’s few performances during this era to circulate in complete form, allowing fans a glimpse into a band that was still evolving, dealing with lineup changes, and experimenting with their musical identity. This live recording certainly captures the essence of Yes during a transformative time in their storied career.
