Yes

When Yes performed the Curbside Concert in New York on October 29, 1996, they were bustling back into the spotlight after nearly two decades. This performance marked the band’s first public outing in over 18 years, igniting excitement among fans for the returning lineup that included iconic original members Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, and Rick Wakeman. Just before this memorable event, the band had released "Keys to Ascension 1" in 1996, an album that felt like a bridge from their deep roots to a new era, showcasing both new material and live performances from earlier works. The concert itself, held outside the Fox Studios, wasn’t just a simple comeback; it signaled a hopeful resurgence for the progressive rock giants. Intriguingly, the event brought together not only long-time fans but new listeners, highlighting Yes' enduring appeal and musical evolution—a testament to their timeless creativity and relentless spirit.
