Yes

Ah, Yes—the legendary progressive rock band that has captivated listeners for decades! By November 1989, the group was in a fascinating transitional phase. This particular live recording of "Birthright" from a concert in Munich features members of the band’s lineup during their ABWH (Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe) period. Just prior to this show, they released their self-titled album "Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe" in 1989, marking a reunion of key Yes members after a split in the '80s that left fans buzzing. An interesting tidbit about this era is the fresh musical direction the band embarked upon. They were creatively re-energized and brought back some classic elements of their sound while exploring new territory. This concert showcased their ability to blend lush melodies and intricate instrumentation—a hallmark of their live performances. Can you just picture the electric atmosphere in München as fans reveled in the nostalgia of pieces that had shaped the landscape of progressive rock? It must’ve been something magical!
