Yes

In October 2002, Yes was riding the wave of their "Full Circle" tour, which was a significant moment in their storied career. Just prior to this live recording in South Bend, they had released the album "Magnification" in 2001. This album was especially notable as it marked the band's renaissance with a fresh lineup, featuring orchestral arrangements that elevated their classic sound. What makes the South Bend show particularly interesting is its context—the third performance of a tour aimed at reconnecting with fans after a period of lineup changes and a more finished sound. The venue, the Morris Performing Arts Center, offered an intimate atmosphere, allowing the band to explore their progressive rock roots with energizing renditions and intricate musicianship. It's fascinating that even after decades in the industry, Yes continued to captivate audiences, blending nostalgia with innovation.
