Yes Live in Houston at House of Blues Performing Classic Hits

Venue: House of Blues Location: Houston, Texas, United States Date: March 6, 2011

In early 2011, Yes was riding a wave of revitalization with their album *Fly from Here*, which had been released in 2011 just before their live performance at the House of Blues in Houston on March 6. This was a particularly exciting time for the band, as they were performing with their "Classic" lineup, reuniting fans with the rich, intricate sound they had become known for. Benoît David was on lead vocals at that time, stepping into a very big pair of shoes—Jon Anderson’s. This performance was a delightful blend of nostalgia and fresh energy, capturing the essence of Yes's progressive rock style. They often incorporated extended solos and live improvisations that showcased each member's musicianship, which is a hallmark of their live shows. Watching Benoît tackle classics while still embracing his creative space reveals how Yes had ingeniously woven the old with the new in their performances, keeping long-time fans and new listeners alike on the edge of their seats.
