Yes Union Live Performance of 'Whitefish/Amazing Grace' in Denver

Venue: McNichols Sports Arena Location: Denver, Colorado, United States Date: May 9, 1991

On May 9, 1991, Yes rocked the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver during the Union Tour, a pivotal moment in the band’s journey. Prior to this live recording, Yes had released the studio album "Union" just a month earlier, on March 30, 1991. This album marked a significant reunion, gathering members from different eras of the band's rich history, showcasing a blend of styles that fans had come to love. Interestingly, "Union" was both a celebration and a challenge, as it brought together diverse musical talents which sometimes clashed, yet managed to create a unique sound. During this tour, they performed "Whitefish," a piece notable for its improvisational flair, paired with elements of "Amazing Grace," emphasizing their ability to merge profound emotion with musical complexity. This live performance not only highlighted their legendary synergy but also captivated an audience eager for a mix of nostalgia and innovation.
