Reviews, pictures, audio clip.

Chris' mic is up too high the first half, but they sort it.

I think "other Jon's" going to work out.

Jon Davison's vocals sound great on that clip, can't say the smae for Chris Squire's back-up vocals though.

The performance was sluggish, slow, plodding. They don't play with zest anymore, and it makes me sad. Rush still zips, but Yes seems to have lost their vitality. :(

Agree Spaz. If I would cast blame I would say Alan White is the one at fault. However, his album last year with Torn and Levin was ripping.

Such a poor recording. The usual 'tired' sounding Yes. I couldn't listen to the whole thing. Too depressingly disappointing.

100% in agreement. Will I pass on the next time they come through here? I have said that before and went. I can't seem to give up. :deadhorse
