Yes

Before diving into the excitement of live recordings, let’s set the stage for Yes. The band was riding a wave of creativity in the early 1970s, following the release of their dynamic album *Fragile* in 1971, which featured their landmark hit "Roundabout." By the time of the live recording referenced in the video titled "'She said YES!'", Yes had just released *Close to the Edge* in 1972, an album often celebrated as one of progressive rock’s crowning jewels. This period was marked by ambitious musical compositions and a quest for sonic innovation. Interestingly, during this time, they were fully embracing their live performance identity, showcasing their intricate musicianship and dynamic stage presence. The pressure to reproduce their studio success in front of a live audience added an electric thrill to their shows, making every note and every lyric resonate deeply with fans. The passion captured in live recordings, like the one in your video link, highlights the enduring legacy of Yes as they navigated through the vibrant complexities of the prog rock scene. Isn’t it fascinating how their journey intertwines with such iconic moments?
