Yes

In April 2004, when Yes took the stage at Seattle's KeyArena, they were riding high on the momentum of their 2003 album, *Magnification*. This record, which marked their 35th anniversary, had been pretty significant as it was the first without longtime member Rick Wakeman, somewhat shifting their sonic landscape but still showcasing their intricate, progressive rock style. What's interesting is that this live recording is from the inaugural show of their North American tour, underscoring not just a fresh start but a chance for the band to reconnect with fans. Despite only featuring half of their extensive setlist, the performance is a celebration of Yes's storied legacy, blending classics with newer compositions. It’s also a reminder of how the band has continuously reinvented itself while keeping that signature sound that fans have cherished for decades. It’s fascinating to see them navigate both nostalgia and evolution, isn’t it?
