Yes

Before the live recording of "Gates of Delirium" from the concert in Amsterdam on November 22, 2001, Yes had just released their album "Magnification" in 2001. This was a notable period for the band as they, for the first time, embraced orchestral elements, which converged nicely with their progressive rock roots. "Magnification," featuring lush arrangements and a more mature sound, marked a return to form, boosting their reputation in the new millennium. Interestingly, during this concert, Yes performed alongside the European Festival Orchestra, which truly elevated the anthemic quality of their music. The collaboration brought a unique flavor to their classic tracks, something fans had been eager to experience. With the orchestral backing, the performance was not just a concert; it transformed into an auditory experience, showcasing how Yes continuously evolves while still honoring their rich legacy. Isn’t it fascinating how a band can reinvent itself and still connect with its audiences on such profound levels?
