Yes

Ah, Yes! The legendary progressive rock band had quite the adventure by the time December 5, 1999, rolled around. Just before this Montreal gig during "The Ladder" tour, they had released their album "The Ladder" in 1999, which marked a significant comeback for the band after a somewhat quieter phase in the late '90s. It's fascinating to think about how "The Ladder" was their first studio album in almost a decade, bringing in a fresh energy and a nod to both their classic sound and a more modern touch. At the time of the live recording, Yes was basking in the revival of their sound and reconnecting with fans who had been loyal through ups and downs. A cool tidbit: the setlist for this concert features classic tracks that highlight their complex arrangements and virtuosic musicianship, staying true to their progressive roots while inviting new listeners in. It's a snapshot of a band rediscovering its identity on stage, drawing from a rich catalogue while simultaneously forging ahead. How incredible is that?
