Yes/ABWH Live in London Performing 'Roundabout'
In the live recording from October 29, 1989, Yes was riding the waves of a transitional period. Just before this performance, they had released "Big Generator" (1987), an album that marked their attempt to evolve their sound amidst the shifting musical landscape of the late '80s. "Big Generator" showcased a blend of progressive rock and more radio-friendly tracks, a reflection of the band's struggle to remain relevant. Remarkably, this concert was during the era when the band was sharing the stage with ABWH (Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe), featuring members from the classic lineup. It was a fascinating collaboration, combining old and new fans, and their rendition of "Roundabout" captured the essence of Yes: intricate musicianship and soaring vocals. This performance, then, was not just a concert but a significant moment in their history, symbolizing their adaptability and enduring legacy in the rock world.
