Yes

In March 2011, when Yes performed "Close to the Edge" at the House of Blues in Houston, they were riding the wave of their career revival after a few transitional years. Just prior to this performance, the band released "Fly from Here" in 2011, which was their first album featuring singer Benoît David. This marked a significant chapter, embracing a mix of classic Yes sounds and contemporary influences, showcasing how they continued to evolve while staying true to their progressive rock roots. It's fascinating to note that this era also coincided with a growing resurgence of interest in classic rock, as bands from that golden age explored new creative energies. The live recording not only captures the band in peak form but also highlights the enduring power of their complex compositions and harmonies, a hallmark of their style. While the sound of Yes is rich with intricate musicianship, the intimate setting of the House of Blues adds a special dimension to the recording, creating a vibrant atmosphere that truly resonates with fans of all generations.
