Yes

In July 2002, Yes delivered a vibrant performance at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, marking a significant moment during a dynamic period in their career. Leading up to this live recording, they had just released the album "Magnification" in 2001. This album was unique as it showcased the band's adventurous spirit, featuring orchestral arrangements and a focus on more mature themes, reflecting a fresh artistic vision. Interestingly, "Magnification" was the first album since 1994’s "Talk" where the band recorded without founding keyboardist Rick Wakeman, emphasizing a shift in their sound. During the Detroit show, fans were likely treated to a setlist that spanned their illustrious catalog, highlighting the band's ability to blend progressive rock with melodic richness. The performance exemplified their notorious reputation for musicianship and theatrical flair, drawing fans deep into the musical tapestry that Yes crafts so well. As they rocked the Fox Theatre, you could sense that this was a group still passionate about pushing boundaries, proving that even after all these years, they had plenty of energy left in the tank.
