Yes Live Performance of 'Roundabout' at Hollywood Tower Records - KTA Promo Show

Venue: Tower Records Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Date: November 20, 1996

Before the live recording of “Roundabout” at Tower Records in Hollywood on November 20, 1996, Yes had just released their album “Keys to Ascension,” which marked a significant moment in their career. This album was a combination of new studio tracks and live recordings from earlier shows, showcasing the band's enduring musicianship and creative evolution. Live performances during this era highlighted the resurgence of classic members, especially the return of vocalist Jon Anderson and virtuoso guitarist Steve Howe. The KTA promo show was particularly special, not only for its intimate setting but also because it symbolized Yes's efforts to engage with their fans directly, playing an iconic song like "Roundabout," which remains a fan favorite. That mix of nostalgia and excitement in a smaller venue made this performance feel electrifying and deeply connected to their storied history. It's as if they were weaving together threads of their past while forging ahead into new sonic landscapes.
