Yes - Live in London - Full Concert at Wembley Arena

Venue: Wembley Empire Pool Location: London, England, United Kingdom Date: October 29, 1977

In late October 1977, Yes was riding high on a wave of creativity, having recently released *Going for the One*, just a few months earlier, in July of that year. This album marked a significant return to a more accessible sound while retaining their signature progressive rock qualities. Interestingly, it included an eclectic mix of tracks, with "Wonderous Stories" even garnering radio play, showing the band’s ability to blend intricate musicianship with mainstream appeal. During their October 29 performance at the Wembley Empire Pool, they performed songs from this album, showcasing their evolution and commitment to live improvisation. This particular concert was not only their 182nd live recording but also highlighted their dedication to their fans, as it was dedicated to Danny Toole—a touching personal note in the often grand spectacles of rock. It's remarkable how even in those larger-than-life performances, the heart of the music and the connection to people remained at the forefront.
