Yes

In July 2002, when Yes lit up the stage at the Chicago Theatre, they were riding the wave of their album "Magnification," which had been released the previous year. This album, marking a significant return to form, highlighted the band's unique blend of progressive rock with orchestral elements, showcasing their evolution even after three decades in the spotlight. Interestingly, “Magnification” saw the band utilize a full orchestra for the first time in years, infusing a fresh, rich sound into their classic material. The Chicago concert captured a pivotal moment in Yes's history; it was during a period when they were not only reflecting on their storied past but also embracing new creativity. This live performance allowed fans to experience their iconic tracks reimagined, creating an electric atmosphere underscored by the impressive musicianship of the lineup at that time. Isn’t it fascinating how a single concert can encapsulate the spirit of a band, both looking back at their legacy and pushing forward into new territory?
