Yes - Gates of Delirium Part 2 - Symphonic Live Concert Performance

Venue: Heineken Music Hall Location: Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands Date: November 22, 2001

In 2001, Yes was riding a wave of renewed energy and creativity, following the release of their album **"Magnification"** just a year prior. This album marked a significant phase for the band, as it was their first without the longtime keyboardist Rick Wakeman, featuring an orchestral arrangement that added a lush depth to their sound. The concert recorded on November 22, 2001, at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam, showcased their ability to fuse rock with orchestral elements, as they performed "Gates of Delirium" with the European Festival Orchestra. What's particularly fascinating about this live performance is that it illustrated not just their musical evolution but also their resilience; Yes had faced numerous lineup changes and challenges over the years. Still, they continued to deliver intricate compositions and powerful performances, captivating both longtime fans and newcomers alike. It highlights an era of artistic exploration and reaffirmation in the band's storied career.
