6. And You And I
7. Steve Howe Solo
8. Owner Of A Lonely Heart
9. Mood for a Day/Machine Messiah
10. Roundabout
11. The Fish/Heart Of The Sunrise

It was a terrific concert — I would have liked to have heard some other songs, but 12 10 minute songs was a damn good show:

Long Distance Runaround
Starship Trooper
Close to the Edge
South Side of the Sky

    Yes? Good grief, that was like the first concert I ever saw, back in 1972!

    13 in a tank top and shorts, screaming in the front row of a Yes concert getting high off the marijuana smoke. God, I miss my teenage years….

    “Tempus Fugit”, indeed!

    I’m very fond of Yes–they’re my favorite progressive rock group–but did they really not play anything from the past quarter-century? (Their older stuff is definitely better than the newer, but I’m worried that they’re going to take up residence in some Vegas lounge…)

    And yes, part of me is jealous because I haven’t seen them live. (Yet.)

    I saw YES in the 1970s — in MSG

    This is a 3000 seat hall — there are no bad seats.
