Yes

Ah, Yes! The legendary progressive rock band known for their complex compositions and virtuosic musicianship. By July 16, 2002, when they performed at the Kirkland Performance Center, they were gearing up for their North American tour after releasing "Magnification" the year prior. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it was the first since the departure of keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The live recording in Kirkland was actually a rehearsal, capturing the band at a pivotal transition point. It highlighted their resilience and adaptability, with new symphonic elements brought in by a full orchestra. Plus, don’t you just love the excitement of a band honing their craft before hitting the road? This performance not only showcased their classics with fresh energy but also emphasized their enduring legacy in a genre that thrives on evolution. It’s moments like these that remind us of the raw passion behind live music!
