Yes

Let’s dive into the magic of Yes during a pivotal moment in their career! In 1989, when they performed "And You And I" live in London, the band was experiencing a unique phase. Just prior to this recording, they had released "Big Generator" in 1987, which showcased a shift in their sound and was met with mixed reviews. By the time of this October performance, Yes had also seen a significant lineup change, with former members from the group’s original days coming together as the Asia-Bruford-Wakeman-Hackett (ABWH) collective. This collaboration allowed for a fresh, yet nostalgic take on their classic material, blending the complexity of progressive rock with a more accessible sound. It's fascinating how this live recording captured not just the song’s nuanced beauty but also the band's ongoing evolution, offering a bridge between their classic roots and a new artistic direction. Quite the thrilling moment in Yes history, wouldn’t you agree?
