Yes

In October 2002, when Yes performed live at the Value City Arena in Columbus, they were deep into their Full Circle Tour, showcasing their first studio album in over a decade, "Magnification," released in 2001. This album marked a significant moment for the band, as it was crafted with a 60-piece orchestra, a departure from their typical sound, blending progressive rock with orchestral elements. What’s fascinating is how the live recording captures a band revitalized, proving that even after decades, they could still innovate and connect with their audience. The Columbus show, being just the fourth of the tour, likely buzzed with an electric anticipation from fans eager to hear new material alongside classic hits. This demonstrated Yes's ability to maintain relevance in the evolving music landscape while enriching their legacy with fresh, ambitious works—an impressive feat, wouldn’t you say?
