Black Gold on the Western Frontier
The land Spanish explorers called “Colorado” was an untamed wilderness in the mid-nineteenth century. Yet following close on the heels of western trailblazers came pioneers of a different sort determined to tame the Wild West. They brought economic advancement to a region deemed worthless by their contemporaries, and no other sector of the frontier economy played a more pivotal role in this development than the mining industry. Colorado, in fact, was born and built in a rush-a virtual mineral stampede. Gold and silver formed the foundation stones of statehood. But sandwiched between those stones was an equally valuable mineral-oil-which eventually eclipsed the others in economic importance. Oddly enough, the “Black Magic Rush” is one of the state’s best kept his- torical secrets. The Centennial State marked a mile- stone in 1987—the 125th anniversary of the Rocky Mountain West’s petroleum industry. Discovery and development of the first oil field west of the Mississippi River occurred only three years after ‘’Colonel’’ Drake’s famous well launched the U.S. oil business back east in 1859. While the country was embroiled in civil conflict, a resolute oil man heeded newspaper publisher Horace Greeley’s immortal advice, “Go West, young man.” Alexander Morrison Cassiday, one of Drake’s proteges, carried his newly acquired technical skills west to tap the region’s liquid treasure. His venture was all the more remarkable because of the circumstances under which it was undertaken. Prospecting for and producing petroleum in the Rocky Mountain region the “Great American Desert”—was a risky business at that time. The foothills of the Eastern Slope and the adjacent high plains were inhospitable, and inhabited by warlike Indian tribes. In 1852 U.S. Secretary of State Daniel Webster asked, ‘What do we want of this worthless area, this region of savages and wild beasts, of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cactus and prairie dogs? To what use could we ever hope to put hese great deserts and these endless mountain ranges?”

Yes - Live In Mountain View - August 8th, 1991
VIDEO HERE (2 hours, 35 minutes)
-JD
This is the final Yes show on the third leg of Yes’ Union Tour, and final show of 1991. This show was filmed for an official release called “Union Live” I merged the footage with the missing songs with a patch from an aud for the start of Changes. The drum duet gets dropped from the show tonight as well, being the only set change of the night. The band are in top form tonight, playing every song perfectly, the only mess up is the start to Saving My Heart where Jon and Trev accidentally sing the first word at the wrong times and Alan messing up the drum beat at first in Lift Me Up. The band play great versions of songs like Yours Is No Disgrace, Rhythm Of Love, Heart Of The Sunrise, Owner, Solly’s Beard, Whitefish, Awaken, and Roundabout. Overall, a fantastic show, and an essential Union listen.
