Yes

In April 1988, Yes was riding the wave of their Big Generator Tour, following the release of their album *Big Generator*, which had come out just months earlier, in September 1987. This tour was significant for the band as it marked a high point in their career during the pop-rock influenced 80s era, transitioning from their earlier progressive rock roots. Notably, the live recording at Yoyogi Daiichi Taiikukan captures the band at an exciting moment, where tracks like "Rhythm of Love" showcased their shift towards a more radio-friendly sound. There’s something captivating about this show—it was the start of a three-night stint in Tokyo, reflecting Japan’s deep appreciation for the band, which had always embraced the theatrical and complex aspects of their music. This performance not only highlighted their evolving sound but also reaffirmed their status as a powerhouse in the rock scene, blending intricate musicality with accessible tunes.
