Yes

In January 1988, Yes was riding the waves of their "Big Generator" tour, which coincidentally featured their album of the same name, released just a few months earlier in late 1987. This era marked a dynamic phase for the band, blending their signature progressive rock roots with a more polished pop sensibility. It's fascinating to note that during this time, the lineup was a bit different from their classic configurations, with Trevor Rabin leading the charge on guitars and vocals—his influence steered Yes toward a more accessible sound, and you'll hear that in tracks from the "Big Generator" album, such as the hit "Rhythm of Love," featured in the setlist for the Tampa performance. This live recording reflects not just the band's adaptability but also the chemistry among its members, as veteran performers like Jon Anderson and Chris Squire shared the stage with new talent, bringing fresh energy to their established works. It's a true testament to Yes's ability to evolve while still captivating their loyal fanbase. What a thrilling time it must have been, seeing them navigate both nostalgia and innovation!
