The best stereo soundboard album of the "strongest YES of the 90s" is here. I'm sorry to suddenly certify it as the strongest, but the technical lineup that can only be thought of as such is the time when Billy Sherwood and Igor Koroshev were enrolled. It's not just the performance technique, but also the "six-member YES" that produced "THE LADDER", which is said to be the masterpiece of the 90s. This work is the definitive live album of "THE LADDER TOUR 1999-2000", which was held in the historically rare six-member era. This is the leaked soundboard sound source of the "Boston performance on December 11, 1999". Since it's a good opportunity, let's look back on the whole picture of "THE LADDER TOUR 1999-2000" here.・September 6-24, 1999: Latin America (9 performances) ・October 15-December 13, 1999: North America (43 performances) ←★Here★ ・February 6-March 25, 2000: Europe (31 performances) There were a total of 83 performances. The Boston performance included in this work is the final concert of the "North American leg", the 50th performance. The biggest point of this work is the intense direct sound directly connected to the desk. It seems to have been recorded directly from the sound board desk on DAT, and its vividness is amazing. In terms of audio quality, it can be called "official class", but such words do not convey the feeling of immersion as if a plug was stuck in your brain. Moreover, the plug is not one, but is vividly separated as if there were several for each instrument. It is on a different level from the official version, which was carefully mixed, and it feels as if my head has become an amplifier. In fact, the official live album "HOUSE OF YES: LIVE FROM HOUSE OF BLUES" was also released from this tour, which is also the same "North American leg" as this work. The contents of the show are very similar, but the sound nuances are completely different. Instead of the gorgeous feeling of the official version, the sound itself flows into the whole body. It is a live album that can be said to be a "live recording version of HOUSE OF YES". The "6-person YES" show drawn with such quality is also very vivid. To be honest, the rhythm of Alan White and Steve Howe tends to be disturbed on this day, but Billy & Igor, who more than compensates for that, are wonderful. Igor in particular decorates his vivid technique with the brilliance of modern digital keyboards. At the time, people liked and disliked the sound, but it naturally fits modern ears, where the two "original YES" and "ARW" are competing to take in young blood. The skill of updating the classic YES masterpieces while naturally blending them with the sound world of the new masterpiece "THE LADDER" is truly amazing, and it is an ensemble that makes you fantasize about what it would be like if Igor returned to the current YES with Billy's return. The YES songs from the late 90s, depicted with that performance ability, are very similar to "HOUSE OF YES: LIVE FROM HOUSE OF BLUES" as mentioned above. However, it is not exactly the same, and the masterpiece "Hearts" that was cut from the official version is also included. It seems like just one song, but it's nice. It is also a valuable soundboard record that was not played at the end of this tour, but the flow is also good. From the two new worlds of "It Will Be A Good Day" and "Face To Face", it transitions to the "90125 YES" world with "Hearts", and then bridges to the great masterpiece "Awaken". In addition to this, there are other "90125 YES" numbers such as the last song of the set "Cinema" and the encore "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", but the fact that there is one more song makes the colorfulness that freely moves back and forth between eras stand out. The strongest "6-person YES" of the 90s, different from "Classic YES", "90125 YES", and "8-person YES". This is a superb rice album with a vivid ensemble that flows directly into the brain. A masterpiece that overflows with the vividness and immersiveness that can only be achieved with a leaked sound board. Live at Orpheum Theatre, Boston, MA.
