Yes Concert Performance of 'Make It Easy/Owner of a Lonely Heart' in Houston

Venue: The Summit Location: Houston, Texas, United States Date: February 19, 1988

On February 19, 1988, Yes performed a captivating live set at The Summit in Houston, featuring "Make It Easy" and their iconic hit "Owner of a Lonely Heart." This concert was part of the tour promoting *Big Generator*, the studio album that had been released just a few months earlier, in late 1987. It's interesting to note that *Big Generator* saw the band experimenting more with a polished pop sound, a shift from their previous progressive roots, which may have fueled some debates among fans. The live recording, featured on *The Word Is Live*, captures a moment when Yes was blending their legacy of complex musicianship with more commercial appeal, indicating their adaptability in the rapidly evolving music scene of the late '80s. The juxtaposition of new tracks with their still-loved classic styles is a testament to Yes's enduring relevance and ability to connect with both old and new fans alike.
