Yes Live in New York Performing 'Roundabout'

Venue: Beacon Theatre Location: New York, New York, United States Date: October 31, 1997

In the heart of the late '90s, Yes was experiencing a rejuvenation phase marked by their album "Keys to Ascension," which was released in 1996. By the time they took the stage at New York's Beacon Theatre on Halloween 1997, the band was on a creative upswing, blending classic elements with new sonic adventures in their performances. This era showcased the return of several founding members, including the legendary Jon Anderson and Steve Howe, reviving the band's signature symphonic rock sound. It's fascinating to think about how a live performance of "Roundabout," a staple track from their landmark 1971 album "Fragile," carved out their unmistakable legacy. What makes this recording stand out is not just the nostalgia but also the energy from a band reinvigorating their unique style, captivating both die-hard fans and new generations alike. The atmosphere of the Beacon, paired with their engaging performance, truly made for a memorable evening.
