Yes, it was a nice night in the city.

i enjoyed myself with the sweet prog head zoners during the break. By the way, what's with no being able to bring water bottles now?

Happy B-day Googly as well. It great to see you, Dynamo, Peter and Maria , Lance and Peppermint Daddy was with me. The hugs were everywhere.

What do i say about Asia. it was fun, it turned into a Vegas All the hits review at the end, but what energy to get it started for Yes. :-) Ok gulity pleasure. It was one from my childhood. Nice "Radio killed the video star" by Geoff and "court of the crimson king" by John. Carl was smashing the set as well.. What got me was John's voice still there. Pretty damn cool. What can you say for old guys having a good time. Ok hit me now.. It would have been nice to see a few non hits as well. The crowd was dancing a storm up. Laugh... I have no voice this morning :-)

On to Yes... I do not care what people are saying about David. He was doing a great fantastic job and it was not from him I heard mistakes or changes that did not fit. It was nice to see him having a great show (and he does try and channel Jon :-) Neat!

Again, not bad for a bunch of old guys. Chris was having a blast and that bass.... make me melt during Trooper. BASS,,, gotta love it!!!

Oliver is the image of Dad!! The way he stands and that smile. His sound was a bit more "harder" but it fit! Alan pretty much stayed behind the kit all night. And what can you say about Steve?

The man had played two sets that night (with both bands) and at the end, was still going.
Wow!

Highlights for me:

Heart of the Sunrise - what an amazing tune. My fave as well. It was like I stepped back 30 years ago and was a kid again. I totally melted!! Nice !

Roundabout - same as it ever was.

Trooper - Nice encore. Sending us all home with smiles abound and a nice heady vibe to drive home by.
