about

Less than a year following the release of their highly acclaimed concept album "Saint-Exupéry’s Dream," Hungarian progressive rock band Yesterdays is making a return. This time, they're presenting a live CD. The recording dates back to 2007 during their Holdfénykert tour in Budapest, where they had the honor of featuring former Yes guitarist Peter Banks along with his Harmony in Diversity trio.

On a chilly February evening in Budapest, along the Danube River, aboard a vessel named A38—Budapest's most prominent concert venue—a significant event took place. Three bands graced the stage for the MiniProg Festival: Yesterdays, Flamborough Head, and Harmony in Diversity.

Yesterdays was in exceptional form that night, even surprising Pete with a rendition of a Yes classic ("Time and a Word"). Right after the performance, Pete immediately joined them on stage, took hold of a microphone, and lauded the band. (You can listen to his speech at the conclusion of the epic track "Seven.") This encounter led to three memorable days in the heart of Hungary's capital, forging enduring and invaluable memories.

This marked the debut lineup of Yesterdays. Three beautiful girls stood at the forefront, accompanied by five dedicated guys working hard to synchronize with the complex time signatures and tempo changes. Although they were youthful, their passion for their debut album, "Holdfénykert" (Moonlit Garden), burned brightly.

The discovery of the multitrack recording of this particular show, tucked away in a dusty old box, was indeed a miraculous occurrence in 2022—an instantaneous journey through time. Ákos, serving as Pete's guitar technician for the night, became an integral part of this historical episode. Snippets from Pete's performance were included in the final Harmony in Diversity live compilation. Additionally, Flamborough Head had already released their own live CD from the Budapest show. Now, it's Yesterdays' turn to present this material to their devoted fans. This CD stands as the most vivid musical recollection of the band's debut tour. Following their performances in Cluj-Napoca (Romania), the ProgFarm Festival (Netherlands), and Budapest in 2006, this February 2007 show was a genuine delight.
