Yes

In the wake of their 1997 album "Open Your Eyes," Yes took to the stage for a live performance that showcased not only their evolving musical style but also the virtuosity of their members, especially prominent bassist Chris Squire. At this point in their career, Yes was embracing a fresh chapter, marked by a more accessible sound while still retaining their signature complexity. The "Open Your Eyes" album had seen mixed reviews, but it did include some notable tracks that resonated with long-time fans and newcomers alike. During the November 30, 1997 performance in San Antonio, Squire delivered a stellar solo on "The Fish," a piece that highlights his intricate bass techniques and playful spirit. This period also solidified his role as a cornerstone of the band, reminding audiences of his indelible influence and the energy that Yes brought to their live shows. It's fascinating to think about how each performance, like this one, became an integral part of their legacy, reflecting both their growth and the loyalty of their fan base.
