Yes/ABWH Live Encore Jam Performance in Harrisburg

Location: Harrisburg, PA, United States Date: August 2, 1989

In August 1989, when Yes performed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, they were riding high on the legacy of their previous studio album, "Big Generator," which came out in 1987. This album, while somewhat polarizing among fans, showcased the band’s continued evolution in sound, blending their progressive rock roots with more contemporary pop elements. Notably, this live performance also marked a significant moment for the band as it involved members from the spin-off group, Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe (ABWH), coming together for a unique jam. It was a time when Yes was embracing a more collaborative spirit, reflecting the dynamics of their lineup changes over the years. The “Encore Jam” itself is an interesting mix of improvised sections and signature Yes melodies, demonstrating their ability to connect with audiences in a spontaneous and energetic way. And who wouldn’t love that blend of precision and improvisation? It's what keeps fans coming back for more!
