Yes

In November 2009, when Yes took the stage at the Hammersmith Apollo, they were riding the wave of their album *Fly from Here,* released earlier that year. This album marked the band's return to studio work after a long hiatus, with well-known producer Trevor Horn at the helm. It’s noteworthy that *Fly from Here* was the first studio release featuring founder member Geoff Downes since the '80s, reuniting him with co-writer Horn for a fresh yet nostalgic sound. The live performance captured at Hammersmith was part of their "In The Present" European tour, which showcased their dynamic energy and the classic prog-rock flair that fans adore. This concert was particularly special as it blended beloved older tracks with new material, creating a captivating journey through their extensive catalog. Reflecting on that time in their career, you can really feel how Yes was weaving together their storied past with a present full of promise, reminding everyone why they are still one of the titans of progressive rock.
