Yes

In the summer of 2002, Yes found themselves in an intriguing phase of their career, having recently released the album "Magnification" just the year before. This studio album marked a return to a classic sound, reintroducing orchestral elements with the help of a full symphony orchestra. It was a time of reinvention for the band, which had faced various lineup changes over the years. The concert captured in "Yes - Live in Wantagh" on August 3, 2002, showcases the band’s resilience and passion, playing to a vibrant New York crowd. What’s noteworthy is that this performance took place shortly after Yes had performed in Massachusetts, highlighting their commitment to connecting with fans across the Northeast. The energy of that era was palpable, as they strived to meld their progressive rock roots with fresh musical explorations. Plus, diving into the audience recordings adds a raw intimacy that perfectly captures the magic of a live Yes performance.
