The Yes performance at Wembley Empire Pool on October 28th, 1978, was a landmark event, even for a band accustomed to grand spectacles. This concert was part of the pivotal "Tormato" tour, a period that captured the band at a creative crossroads. The setlist was a powerful blend of their recent, more direct material from the "Tormato" and "Going for the One" albums and the epic, foundational suites from their classic era. For the audience, this meant experiencing the driving energy of tracks like "Don't Kill the Whale" alongside the sprawling, virtuosic landscapes of "Close to the Edge" and "The Gates of Delirium," creating a dynamic and emotionally charged evening.
The visual and auditory presentation was quintessential Yes of the late 70s, a full sensory immersion. The stage was famously dominated by a massive circular screen, a hallmark of their tours during this period, which projected a constantly evolving tapestry of abstract images, cosmic visuals, and Roger Dean's iconic artwork that complemented the otherworldly nature of the music. Sonically, the band was renowned for its precision, with each member—Jon Anderson's soaring vocals, Steve Howe's textured guitar work, Chris Squire's dominant Rickenbacker bass, Rick Wakeman's cascading keyboards, and Alan White's powerful drumming—weaving together in a complex yet cohesive tapestry that filled the vast arena.
Attending this concert was more than just seeing a band; it was a participation in the peak of the progressive rock experience. The Wembley show was a testament to Yes's ambition and their unique ability to translate incredibly intricate studio compositions into a compelling and powerful live event. For fans, it remains a cherished memory, representing the band at the height of its commercial success and musical prowess, just before the internal tensions and shifting musical landscape of the 1980s would lead to a significant lineup change and a new artistic direction.
