Yes

In the late '80s, Yes, in its various incarnations, was navigating a vivid, albeit tumultuous phase of its career. By August 9, 1989, the band had just released the album "Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe" (ABWH) earlier that year. This album marked a significant reunion of pivotal members—Jon Anderson, Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe, and Bill Bruford—who had returned to create music reflecting the essence of classic Yes. The live performance at the Orange County Fair Speedway aptly showcased their experimental sounds and intricate arrangements, featuring beloved tracks like "Close to the Edge" and "I've Seen All Good People." Interestingly, this era also saw Yes engaging with newer technologies and musical styles, positioning themselves at the crossroads of progressive rock's past glory and emerging trends. This concert wasn't just another gig; it symbolized the band's push to redefine itself while embracing its storied legacy and resonating deeply with long-time fans.
