Yes - Luna Park (1999)

Stadium De Luna Park, Buenos Aires, Argentina – September 12th, 1999
Yes’ original songs in the nineties were greatly uneven. But the Keystudio material from the middle of the decade was a good but tentative step back to progressive rock and Open Your Eyes was more of a Chris Squire solo album. The Ladder has a unity of vision and performance that makes it one of their best albums of the nineties. Having producer Bruce Fairbairn motivate and stimulate the band helped greatly.
Before the album’s September 20th release, Yes played a quick nine date tour in South America. In Buenos Aires they sold out the 7,000 capacity Stadium De Luna Park. Luna Park 1999 is one of the very few silver titles from Yes’ Ladder tour. It was issued soon after the show and is sourced from a radio broadcast in Argentina of the event. The sound quality is very clear, powerful and perfect. The broadcast unfortunately omitts “Clap,” “Mood For A Day,” “Hearts,” “Awaken” and “To Be Alive” from the encores.
