Live Performance of 'I've Seen All Good People' by Yes at Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary Concert
In May 1988, Yes was riding high on a wave of nostalgia and creative resurgence. That's the same year they performed at Madison Square Garden for the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert, where they delivered a powerful live rendition of "I've Seen All Good People." This performance came just after the release of "Big Generator," their 1987 album which marked a shift towards a more pop-oriented sound. Interestingly, “Big Generator” also tackled the challenges of maintaining musical relevance in an ever-evolving rock landscape while still showcasing their trademark progressive rock flair. This live concert not only celebrated the legacy of their label but also highlighted Yes's ability to captivate audiences with their rich harmonies and intricate musicianship, reminding fans why they’ve stayed influential for decades. It’s like they were bridging the past and the present, making each note a nod to their storied history and the exciting journey ahead.
