Yes - Hold On Live Performance from the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary Concert at Radio City Music Hall

Venue: Madison Square Garden Location: New York, New York, United States Date: May 14, 1988

During the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert on May 14, 1988, where the live recording of "Hold On" took place, Yes was riding on the wave of their album *Big Generator*, released just the year before, in 1987. This album marked a shift for the band, blending their progressive rock roots with more mainstream pop influences. It was also notable for being a time of resurgence for Yes, coming off the success of their previous album, *90125*, which had made them a household name again after the lineup change in the early '80s. The concert at Madison Square Garden was a celebration, showcasing the band's ability to captivate huge audiences live, and it featured some impressive performances from a diverse set of musicians, including the legendary Trevor Rabin on guitar. This period highlighted Yes’s evolution, reflecting both their musical versatility and their enduring legacy in the rock world.
