Yes Full Concert at Luna Park: America, New Language, and Nine Voices

Venue: Estadio Luna Park Location: Buenos Aires, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina Date: September 12, 1999

By September 1999, when Yes graced the stage at Estadio Luna Park in Buenos Aires, they had recently released the album "The Ladder." This album, which debuted in 1999, marked a significant phase for the band, showcasing their ability to evolve while still holding onto their classic sound. It’s fascinating how "The Ladder" blends melodic rock with progressive elements, which can be clearly felt in live performances like the one featured in the Luna Park recording. This show isn’t just another concert; it’s a gem featuring rare live renditions of tracks like "America," "New Language," and "Nine Voices," all of which reflect Yes's knack for intricate arrangements and poetic lyrics. Interestingly, the late '90s also signified a revival of the band's popularity, highlighting how their sound resonated with both long-time fans and newer listeners. It’s clear from that night in Buenos Aires that Yes was still very much alive in the hearts of their audience.
