Yes

On October 31, 1997, Yes performed at the iconic Beacon Theatre in New York City, a concert that came right on the heels of their album *Open Your Eyes*, released in the fall of that same year. This live show showcased their signature progressive rock style, infused with fresh energies from their latest work. Interestingly, *Open Your Eyes* marked a period of resurgence for the band, featuring a blend of classic Yes elements with new influences—an attempt to capture both longtime fans and new listeners. Despite the buzz around the new material, this particular performance was notable for its humorous “tuning issues,” highlighting the often unpredictable nature of live music. These moments remind us that even seasoned veterans like Yes can face hiccups, turning mishaps into memorable experiences that connect them more deeply with their audience. Plus, fans always enjoy a good dose of backstage drama, right? It’s these little quibbles that reveal the heart and spirit of performing live.
