Yes - Shoot High Aim Low Live Performance from Houston, Texas
In November 1987, when Yes performed “Shoot High, Aim Low” at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, they were riding the wave of their album *Big Generator*, which had been released just a few months earlier. This album marked a notable evolution for the band, showcasing a shift towards a more accessible sound and incorporating elements of mainstream rock, which might not have been as apparent in their earlier, more progressive works. Interestingly, *Big Generator* was somewhat of a return to form for Yes after a turbulent period marked by lineup changes. Fans were excited to see how the band would infuse fresh energy into their performances amidst the evolving music scene. The live renditions, like the one captured in Houston, often included improvisational flourishes, breathing new life into the album’s tracks and highlighting the band's signature musicianship. It’s fascinating how a live set can encapsulate a moment in time while echoing the band's broader journey and transformations.
