Yes

In February 1988, when Yes performed live in Texas during their Big Generator Tour, they had recently released the album "Big Generator" itself, just a few months prior, in September 1987. This album marked a pivotal point in their career, bridging the classic progressive rock sound that first defined them with a more polished, radio-friendly edge. Most notably, it included tracks that became staples in their live performances, like "Rhythm of Love," which kicked off the setlist for that night. The band was navigating a unique phase, having just reassembled after lineup changes and a hiatus, leaning into a more pop-oriented approach, yet they retained the complexity and musicianship that fans adored. Interestingly, this concert was part of a special broadcast by NHK-FM, highlighting the level of interest in Yes during a time when their popularity was evolving with changing musical landscapes. It's a fascinating moment—blending nostalgia with new directions.
