Yes

In November 2008, Yes was deep into their “In the Present” tour, showcasing a mix of classic and newer material. The band had just released their album "Fly from Here" in 2011, but the live performance in Columbus offered a nostalgic nod to earlier eras, particularly featuring the exhilarating track "Siberian Khatru." It’s interesting to note that, during this phase, the group was fronted by lead vocalist Benoit David, marking a shift in dynamics from the iconic Jon Anderson era. With Oliver Wakeman on keyboards, the ensemble reminded fans of Yes's hallmark blend of complex melodies and flowing narratives, all the while keeping that signature progressive rock spirit alive. The choice to feature such a beloved song during this tour truly resonated with long-time fans, harkening back to the band's heyday while also embracing a new chapter in their storied career. The energy of that Columbus concert not only highlighted the remarkable musicianship but also showcased Yes’s enduring legacy in the rock world.
