Yes Performs 'Roundabout' at Atlantic's 40th Anniversary Concert
On May 14, 1988, Yes delivered an unforgettable performance at Madison Square Garden for Atlantic Records' 40th Anniversary celebration, featuring their iconic track "Roundabout." By this period, the band had recently released their album *Big Generator* in 1987, a project that showcased their unique blend of progressive rock with more commercial sensibilities. The ‘80s, though somewhat tumultuous for Yes, proved to be a period of reinvention. Interestingly, this live recording not only features their classic sound—characterized by intricate instrumentation and soaring vocals—but also includes a special introduction by actress Lisa Bonet, which adds a delightful touch to the performance, connecting the worlds of music and pop culture. It’s a fascinating moment in Yes's long career, reflecting their enduring legacy while also navigating the commercial landscape of the late '80s music scene.
