Yes

In the summer of 2004, Yes was riding a wave of renewed energy and creativity. Just two years prior, they released "The Ladder" in 1999, which marked a significant comeback, steering towards a more melodic sound to connect with both new and old fans. By the time they performed at Jones Beach in August 2004, their lineup included longtime members like Steve Howe and Alan White, both iconic figures in progressive rock. What makes this performance particularly memorable is the eclectic setlist that not only showcased timeless classics like "I've Seen All Good People" and "Close to the Edge" but also highlighted their adventurous spirit with tracks like "Don't Kill the Whale." This was an exciting phase where Yes was blending their rich heritage while still enticing audiences with fresh energy, demonstrating a resilience that is as much a part of their identity as the intricate compositions they’re known for.
