    In January 1981, Yes was riding a wave of creativity and transition. Just before this live performance, they released "Drama" in 1980, an album that marked a significant shift for the band. It featured new vocalist Trevor Horn, who had a profound impact on Yes' sound, pushing them in a more polished and experimental direction. Interesting tidbit: this was actually the first album without the iconic Jon Anderson on vocals, which rocked their fan base a bit. During this live recording of "Seen All Good People," the energy in the club reflects Yes’ commitment to engaging with their audience, despite the changes within the band. The performance captures that raw, intimate vibe, showcasing their ability to meld complex musicality with the straightforward appeal of classic rock. It was a moment of both nostalgia and a glimpse into a new phase for the band, where they continued to evolve while still honoring their past. Isn’t it fascinating how live recordings can encapsulate such pivotal moments in a band's journey?
