Yes

In February 2000, Yes was in a fascinating transitional phase, having recently released their album *The Ladder* in 1999. This album marked a significant return to their progressive rock roots and was celebrated for blending classic Yes elements with a modern twist—think lush harmonies and intricate melodies, all the while appealing to both old fans and newcomers. The live performance at La Riviera in Madrid on February 25, 2000, showcased this vibrant mix, as the setlist included fan favorites like “Yours Is No Disgrace” and the exhilarating “Homeworld.” A fun fact about this era is the band’s willingness to experiment with new material while still honoring their legacy. They had Jon Anderson’s signature vocal style at the helm, supported by an impressive lineup, including guitarist Steve Howe. This concert wasn’t just another show; it was a testament to Yes' enduring legacy and ability to evolve while captivating their audience. Isn’t it amazing how they continually reinvent themselves?
