Yes

In August 2016, Yes was riding the waves of nostalgia and triumph as they performed at the iconic Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. This particular concert was part of their summer tour, wherein the band revisited their ambitious 1974 double album, *Tales From Topographic Oceans*. The live recording captures the band’s performance of the extended piece "Ritual," which is the culmination of that ambitious concept album. It’s fascinating to think about how Yes, pioneering in the realm of progressive rock, had spent decades crafting intricate soundscapes that blurred the boundaries of rock, jazz, and classical music. This show reflects their resilience and dedication, as they continue to perform music that resonates deeply with both new fans and long-time followers. The performance not only highlights the band's musical prowess but also evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminding listeners of how deeply their art has influenced the genre.
