Yes Live Performance of 'And You And I' in San Francisco with a Goof
In December 1997, when Yes graced the stage at The Warfield in San Francisco, they were riding the wave of their album *Open Your Eyes*, which had come out just a year prior, in 1997. This album marked a pivotal moment in Yes's evolution, showcasing a fresh sound while still embracing their signature progressive rock roots. Interestingly, *Open Your Eyes*, produced amidst a series of lineup changes, reflects a blend of new energy and classic influences, with tracks that invite listeners on a musical journey. In this live performance, the band treated fans to a rendition of "And You and I," a classic that beautifully encapsulates the band's intricate arrangements and emotional depth. What’s particularly charming about this recording is the humorous mishap—a “goof”—that adds a touch of authenticity and spontaneity, reminding us of the magic of live performances. It’s moments like these that solidify Yes's reputation for not just musical prowess, but also for their engaging and human connection with audiences.
