Yes Symphonic Full Concert at State Theatre, Minneapolis - Excellent Sound

Venue: State Theatre Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States Date: August 7, 2001

In 2001, Yes was riding high on the wave of their "Magnification" tour, which was a return to form for the band after some ups and downs in the late '90s. Released in 2001, the album "Magnification" marked a significant moment, as it was their first studio album to feature an orchestral arrangement. This unique blend brought a refreshed, lush sound to their progressive rock roots and garnered considerable attention from fans. Interestingly, this tour featured Tom Brislin on keyboards, stepping in for the legendary Rick Wakeman, which added a fresh dynamic to the band's live performances. Their August 7 concert at the historic State Theatre in Minneapolis showcased this orchestral approach, demonstrating Yes's commitment to evolving their sound while still honoring their classic style. The live recording captures not just music but the passion of a band that continues to resonate with its audience.
