Yes

Before the live recording of "And You and I" at The Rainbow in December 1972, Yes had just released their groundbreaking album, "Close to the Edge," which hit shelves that September. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing their unique blend of progressive rock, intricate instrumentation, and the ethereal vocals of Jon Anderson. Interestingly, "Close to the Edge" is often hailed as one of the band's masterpieces, and it prominently features tracks that are now considered classics. By the time of the concert, energy was high, and the band was riding a wave of critical acclaim, which undoubtedly added an electric atmosphere to that performance. This show captured a moment of peak creativity and collaboration, with the magnetic presence of musicians like Steve Howe and Chris Squire, who together painted an unforgettable soundscape that resonated deeply with fans and defined an era for progressive music. Every note from that night was not just a live performance, but a snapshot in rock history.
