Punk and disco had taken over, and bands like Yes were certainly in an odd place, as far as musical tastes were concerned. This show is exemplary of what was going on in music around 1978 when progressive rock was beginning to wane. By the time this show was taped for the King Biscuit Flower Hour, there were clearly two camps within the band: the one for more commercial and conventional radio songs, and the camp who pushed for more intense and musically intricate progressive concept pieces. The band had always been fueled by many internal conflicts, as were many other classic prog-rock bands such as ELP, King Crimson and The Moody Blues. This is one of the shows in the last tour of the classic "Roundabout"-era of Yes until they reunited after 2000.
