As a lifelong fan of YES, I've been eagerly anticipating their One More Time tour, and their performance at Atlantic City’s premiere venue, The Ocean Casino Resort did not disappoint. The band's legendary status in progressive rock was palpable as the crowd eagerly awaited their entrance.

The setlist was a masterful blend of classic hits and deeper cuts, catering to both casual fans and die-hard enthusiasts. From the iconic "Roundabout" to the complex "Siberian Khatru," YES delivered each song with precision and passion. Their musical prowess was on full display, with Steve Howe's intricate guitar work, Jon Davison's powerful vocals, and the rhythmic foundation provided by Geoff Downes, Billy Sherwood and Jay Schellen.

The audience's energy was infectious, singing along to every word and cheering with enthusiasm. The band's connection with their fans was evident, creating a sense of camaraderie and shared experience. A particular highlight was the performance of "Yours Is No Disgrace," a timeless anthem that had the crowd on their feet, singing and dancing along.

YES's legacy in progressive rock is undeniable, and their performance in Atlantic City was a testament to their enduring appeal. Their ability to seamlessly blend complex musical structures with catchy melodies continues to captivate audiences of all ages. As the final notes of "Starship Trooper" echoed through the venue, it was clear that YES's music will continue to inspire and entertain for generations to come.
