Overview

In the Present – Live from Lyon is a recording of a Yes show on 1 December 2009 at the Bourse du Travail, Lyon, France as a part of their In the Present Tour which they undertook before the release of their new studio album Fly from Here (2011) featuring newcomer Benoît David on lead vocals.

It is the first live album featuring lead vocalist Benoît David (from Mystery) and thus the first live album without ex-member Jon Anderson, whom David replaced. It was also the only release with Oliver Wakeman as a member of the band, until the release of the From A Page album in 2019.
