Yes

In March 1996, when Yes took the stage at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo for a live performance of "Close To The Edge," they were riding on a wave of renewed energy following the release of their album "Keys to Ascension," which had come out just the previous year. What’s fascinating about this period is that “Keys to Ascension” marked a significant moment for the band—combining new studio tracks with live recordings, it showcased their striving spirit and ability to blend classic sounds with fresh ideas. The band was welcoming back former guitarist Steve Howe, which added depth to their sound reconstruction, too. This live performance wasn't just a trip down memory lane; it was a testament to their resilience and dedication to evolving while honoring their legacy. The energy in that theater must have been electric, transcending space and time as they delivered one of their iconic tracks with the passion that fans have cherished over the decades.
