More information: Yes released their studio album The Ladder in 1999, which marked the first studio recording to include Igor Khoroshev as a full-time band member. It was also the first album in a long time to not be produced by the band itself, but by an external producer Bruce Fairbairn, who had previously worked with bands such as The Scorpions, AC/DC and Bon Jovi. The album featured three singles (Homeworld (The Ladder), Lightning Strikes and If Only You Knew) and saw Yes return to a creative form, encapsulating Latin music elements and world music influences. Sadly, Fairbairn passed away shortly before the albums completion, so Mike Plotnikoff finished his work together with the band. Yes dedicated The Ladder to Fairbairn.
Line-up: Jon Anderson - lead vocals / Steve Howe - steel, lead & acoustic guitars, mandolin, backing vocals / Billy Sherwood - guitars, backing vocals / Igor Khoroshev - keyboards, backing vocals / Chris Squire - bass, harmonica, backing vocals / Alan White - drums & percussion, backing vocals
