Yes - 'Awaken' Live Performance at Gibson Amphitheater, Los Angeles

Venue: Gibson Amphitheatre Location: Universal City, California, United States Date: August 15, 2012

In August 2012, when Yes delivered a breathtaking live performance of "Awaken" at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, they were basking in the legacy of their 2011 studio album, "Fly from Here." This album marked a significant moment in their career, featuring new material while also honoring their classic progressive rock sound. A fun tidbit? It was produced by Trevor Horn, an artist deeply connected with the band, as he’d previously worked on their iconic album "90125." When they played "Awaken," a piece famous for its intricate layers and dynamic shifts, it wasn't just a performance; it was a celebration of their enduring musical journey. Although the recording cut off towards the end (typical camera quirks, right?), what we hear captures the essence of Yes—complex, emotional, and utterly mesmerizing. This performance highlights how, even years into their career, they still managed to create moments of pure brilliance that resonate with fans old and new.
