Yes

Before the live recording at Struthers Fieldhouse in 1971, Yes released their groundbreaking album "Fragile," which came out just a year prior in 1971 and marked the band's first real taste of commercial success. Featuring iconic tracks like "Roundabout," "Fragile" showcased the band’s intricate musicianship and set the stage for their signature progressive rock sound. By the time of the Lugano Jazz Festival performance in 2004, Yes had evolved significantly, navigating various lineup changes and experimenting with their sound over the decades. Interestingly, the performance captured in the video serves as a nostalgic nod, bringing together both new and long-time fans. It's fascinating to see how this established band, known for their ambitious compositions and virtuosic playing, continued to resonate with audiences, capturing the same exploratory spirit that defined their earlier work. This connection between their past and present truly highlights the enduring legacy of Yes in the music world.
