Yes in a promotional photoshoot for Tormato (1978)
Story Time!: Apparently, Chris forgot his name-embroidered jacket so he had to wear the manager's. Later, The photo had to be edited so the jacket would say Chris instead. So what you see on the Tormato album cover is an edited version of Chris's jacket.

In the audio, you can hear the band stalling at the beginning of "It Can Happen" until Trevor starts to sing the first few lines. After a while, the crowd cheers after Jon returns on stage.

What was the first song that you listened to by Yes and/or got you into Yes?
I'll start! The first song I listened to by Yes was "A Venture!" A little side lore: I was into Rush before I got into Yes, and when I heard Geddy (I think) say that he would go see Yes in concert I thought "Why don't I check them out!" And now I am a big Yes fan :)
The song that made me really get into Yes was Onward though. I was legit sobbing and blown away! Please put a link to the songs! I really wanna hear your faves :)(because I don't remember what every Yes song sounds like lol)
