Yes Live Performance of 'Road Crew Song' in St. Louis
In the autumn of 1997, Yes was riding high on the waves of their tenth studio album, "Open Your Eyes," which had released just earlier that year. Not only was this album a testament to their evolving sound, filled with the intricate melodies and dynamic instrumentation fans had come to love, but it also marked a sort of rejuvenation for the band. They were in the midst of their "Open Your Eyes" tour when they performed that live show at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis, where "Road Crew Song" was featured. This particular track pays homage to the hard-working crew that supports the band behind the scenes, reflecting a deep appreciation for the whole team’s effort. It's interesting, too, how Yes consistently embraces themes of unity and support, both in their music and their interactions with fans. The blend of classic Yes styles with a fresh approach during this era really showcased their ongoing legacy in progressive rock, making live performances like the one on November 25, 1997, truly memorable entries in their catalog.
