Yes - Tempus Fugit Performance at Lifestyles Community Pavilion, Columbus

Venue: Lifestyle Communities Pavilion Location: Columbus, Ohio, United States Date: November 12, 2008

In the vibrant tapestry of Yes's musical journey, the live performance of "Tempus Fugit" in Columbus on November 12, 2008, marks a significant moment during their "In the Present" tour. This tour came right on the heels of their 2008 album *Fly from Here*. This album, produced by the legendary Trevor Horn, was notable not just for its fresh sound but also for reuniting some classic members with Benoit David stepping into the lead vocals, a pivotal role that brought a new texture to their sound. Interestingly, this concert showcased the band's ability to evolve while honoring their rich progressive rock legacy. The set in Columbus featured Oliver Wakeman on keyboards, whose lineage as the son of legendary keyboardist Rick Wakeman adds another layer of intrigue to their live performances, blending nostalgia and modernity. It was a reminder that even decades into their career, Yes continues to captivate audiences with their intricate melodies and profound lyrical explorations.
