Yes - Live at UMB Bank Pavilion Amphitheatre - Full Concert
On July 25, 2002, Yes was riding high on the wave of their "Classic 2002 Tour," which marked a significant moment in their long and storied career. Just before this live performance in Maryland Heights, the band released "Magnification" in 2001, an album that showcased their classic sound while also embracing orchestral elements, marking a shift towards a fuller, richer arrangement. Interestingly, this live recording comes during a time when Yes was re-establishing their presence after several lineup changes, bringing together iconic members like Jon Anderson and Chris Squire. Fans adored how the setlist featured timeless classics, but it was also a chance for the band to introduce some newer material, blending nostalgia with fresh creativity. Looking at this period, it's clear that the 2002 show was more than just a performance—it was a celebration of Yes's enduring legacy and a testament to their ability to evolve while still capturing the hearts of fans old and new.
