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

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.
