Yes

Let's dive into the live recording of Yes during their 35th Anniversary Tour at the HP Pavilion in San Jose on April 17, 2004. Before this energetic performance, the band had released **"Magnification,"** their fifteenth studio album, in 2001. What makes this era particularly fascinating is the lineup—featuring the iconic Jon Anderson on vocals and the virtuoso Steve Howe on guitar—reaffirming their enduring chemistry. The **“Magnification”** album was notable not just for its lush, orchestral arrangements—done largely without the presence of a traditional keyboardist—but it also symbolized a resurgence for the band after various lineup changes. This live show celebrated a rich tapestry of their history, pulling songs from across their catalog. Fans must have felt a wave of nostalgia as they reveled in the old but gold favorites alongside newer tracks—a testament to Yes’s ability to blend their past with the present seamlessly. It’s a moment where dedicated fans could appreciate the timelessness of progressive rock, connecting both old and new generations of listeners.
