Steve Howe - Guitar Solo at Yes Symphonic Concert, Heineken Music Hall

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

In 2001, Yes was riding high on a wave of revival, fueled by their album "Magnification," released earlier that year. This record marked a significant point in the band's history as it was their first studio album with a full orchestra, which made the live performance in Amsterdam all the more special. The concert featured Steve Howe delivering a captivating guitar solo, demonstrating not only his virtuosic skills but also the band's commitment to pushing musical boundaries. Interestingly, this live performance was conducted by Wilhelm Keitel, merging rock and orchestral sounds, which perfectly encapsulated Yes's progressive ethos. The DVD and CD releases that followed allowed fans to relive that magical night, connecting the dots between the studio innovation of "Magnification" and the vibrant live experience they offered on stage. It was a moment that reminded everyone why Yes has remained a beloved pillar of progressive rock for decades.
