thanks for that KW!

for some reason, i went right for the DRAMA tour.

interesting also that during the recording of OYE
john and chris were planning to fire steve if trevor would return!

..no wonder that cd sucked!
jon was of the opinion that it contained the "big song of the 90's"
for them....?!?

Thanks for that KW.....quite the flashback. I realized I saw them on the OYE tour three times!!!

What a succulent treat of Yesmania ! Sure did bring back cherished and "almost forgotten" memories... Thanks KW !!

I found it interesting to see the setlists for the TFTO tour. I always wondered whether they played all four songs each night, and to my amazement they did. Plus they were preceded by Close to the Edge. That's 5 epics in a row. You really have to be a prog freak to stomach that.

This is an excerpt of a comment from Sylvain Gaudet who attended the show the next day from mine, in Montréal, at Québec City saying :

"1) When Jon sang "Nous Sommes Du Soleil" in front of a fantastic sunset telling us that song was written by Steve and him for the people of Quebec... He seemed to have a lot of fun and peace. He said that it was so cool to play that song in front of a beautiful sunset ! It surely was !"

Now, I'm telling you guys, that was so surprising listening to such a comment from Jon the day earlier at Montréal's Parc des Iles, (wich is located right in the middle of the majestic St-Lawrence River whom, also for the occasion, was blessed with a magnificient sunset ) where we had a smashing ball with 45-50,000 fans at a free outdoor concert sponsored by... Budweiser

i should plug my buds at www.yesfans.com (again).
it's a great, diverse,huge community, the official
forum from the Yes website.
--------------------
KW- they didn't play CTTE when i saw the TFTO tour (my 1st yes concert!)
at the cincy gardens!
it may have been because john martyn opened, and w/ a great
set i might add.
it's great that Yes can mean so many different things to different people.
it's likely the secret of their staying power.
