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

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

In the late '90s, Yes was riding a wave of renewed energy after regrouping with a lineup that included veteran members like Jon Anderson and Steve Howe. By the time they took the stage in Tulsa on November 26, 1997, they had just released "Keys to Ascension," a unique album that blended fresh tracks with live recordings from their reunion concerts. This live performance showcased a pivotal moment for the band as they were not only celebrating their legacy but also experimenting with new material. Interestingly, "Keys to Ascension" marked Yes's return to the studio after years of focusing on live performances, making this recording feel even more special. It's fascinating how the band’s journey came full circle during this time—embracing their storied past while boldly stepping into new sonic territory with songs like “Arada.” It reflects the band's ability to innovate while remaining true to their progressive roots. What a time for Yes!
