Yes Live Performance of 'America' in Tulsa, United States

Venue: Brady Theater Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States Date: November 26, 1997

In November 1997, when Yes performed live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, they were riding high off their album *Keys to Ascension*, which had been released in 1996. This album was interesting in itself—it marked the band’s first original studio release in nearly a decade, featuring a blend of new material and live recordings. Capturing this era, the Tulsa concert showcases the band’s signature progressive rock style, with “America” being one of the standout tracks. Did you know that this song is actually a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's classic? It’s a testament to Yes’s ability to reimagine existing music with their unique flair. This performance also highlights a revitalized lineup, including stalwarts like Jon Anderson on vocals and Steve Howe on guitar, bringing energy and creativity to the stage. It’s moments like these that remind us of Yes’s lasting influence in the rock scene and their constant evolution as artists.
