Yes

In October 1997, when Yes performed live in Philadelphia at the Tower Theatre, they were riding the wave of their studio album "Keys to Ascension." Released just a year earlier, this album marked a significant moment in their career as it returned the band to their progressive rock roots while introducing new, experimental elements. It was also the first release featuring the return of the classic lineup since the late '70s, which stirred a blend of nostalgia and excitement among fans. During this period, Yes showcased not only their musical integrity but also their ability to evolve; songs like "Second Initial," performed in this live show, exemplify the seamless interplay between intricate musicianship and dynamic progression that the band is celebrated for. Interestingly, this era also celebrated the enchantment of live performances—where the energy and spontaneity could elevate their complex soundscapes to newer heights, proving once again that Yes wasn't just about studio magic, but the live experience too.
