“Yes” is that kind of bands everybody knows or just heard about them. The reason is no the simplest name. There are over four decades of hitting the stage. There are over 30 millions copies of albums sold worldwide. There are Grammy Award Winners. To prove their fabulous existence the band released the live set “In the present: Live from Lyon” this winter.

The album includes 2 CDs with absolutely hits and not so often played songs. That doesn’t make those tracks less impressive. Also there is DVD with filmed performance couple of years ago in Lyon (France) and interview as well.

The new singer Benoit David founded via Youtube made good well known songs more different but still wonderful. Lengthy tunes introduced with killer professionalism and skills in the way to be example for another musicians. And what makes this album more impressive is the response of audience which maybe listens to the band for a long time as band exists. Their screams and applauses are what for all the musicians live and do their music.

We know what “Yes” was in the past, is in the present and let see what the band would be in the future. Yes, live anywhere.
