Yes/ABWH Live Performance of 'Themes' in London
In the late ’80s, Yes found themselves navigating a pivotal phase in their storied career. Shortly after the release of their album *Big Generator* in 1987, which was notable for its polished sounds and hits like "Rhythm of Love," the band ventured into a significant collaboration with the Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe (ABWH) project. The live recording from October 29, 1989, captures ABWH performing in London, showcasing a blend of talent and creativity that was vital during this transitional period. Interestingly, this line-up emphasized a more progressive rock approach, drawing from the rich tapestry of the band’s legacy while attempting to recapture the intricate musicality that defined their earlier works. This performance not only highlighted fan-favorites but reinforced the group's lasting influence, illustrating that even during moments of change, their commitment to artistry remained unwavering. It was a time of reflection and innovation as Yes continued to evolve.
