Yes

Before the "Big Generator" live recording in 1987, Yes had released their album "Big Generator" in 1987, marking a significant moment in their evolution. This album was a bold step that showcased the band's willingness to embrace 80s rock elements while maintaining their signature progressive style. Interestingly, during this period, the band experienced a lineup change, with Trevor Rabin taking a leading role, which added a fresh, pop-oriented approach to their sound. The Philadelphia concert, part of "The Big Tour," highlighted the band's dynamic live energy, with Rabin's guitar work and Jon Anderson's ethereal vocals captivating the audience. It’s also worth noting that this era was characterized by a mixed reception from critics, as fans debated the more mainstream direction of the band's music. Yet, love 'em or hate 'em, that unique blend of styles undeniably defined Yes during this transformative time.
