Yes

Alright, let’s dive into what was brewing for Yes around that live recording on March 6, 2011, at the House of Blues in Houston. By this time, Yes had just released "Fly from Here" in 2011, a significant nod to their classic sound with the return of producer Trevor Horn. It was a moment of reinvigoration, showcasing their evolution while hearkening back to their roots. Interestingly, this period also saw Oliver Wakeman stepping into the spotlight, contributing to the band’s intricate soundscapes on keyboards. It’s worth noting that "Machine Messiah," performed that night, is not just a fan favorite; it’s a dynamic piece from their iconic 1980 album "Drama," emphasizing Yes’s ability to meld classic rock with ambition. There's something truly magical about seeing a band like Yes, steeped in decades of history, still captivating audience members like yourself. Steve Howe looked to be in high spirits too—wasn't it delightful to witness? It's moments like these that celebrate not just a performance, but an enduring legacy.
