Yes - Full Concert at Nassau Coliseum Featuring Firebird Suite and More

Venue: Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Location: Uniondale, New York, United States Date: April 20, 1991

In April 1991, Yes was riding the wave of resurgence, following their 1987 album "90125," which had marked a significant shift in their sound and mainstream appeal. By the time they performed at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, they had released "Union" in 1991, a debut that showcased a reunion of former members and a mix of classic Yes sounds alongside fresh material. The setlist from that night reflects this eclectic mix, with powerful tracks like "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and "Heart of the Sunrise," which highlight the band’s intricate musicianship and vocal harmonies. Interestingly, this concert was part of a tour to promote "Union," and the lineup showcased the diverse talents of members, including guitarist Steve Howe, whose solo segment often captivated audiences. The energy of that live performance was a testament to Yes's ability to continuously blend their progressive roots with the evolving music scene. It’s a glimpse into a pivotal moment in their long and storied career.
