Yes

I saw Yes and Dream Theater at the NY State Fair on Sept 2 and as all the other reviews have stated, it was an excellent show. First off, I had never seen DT and I must say, they really were very good. The crowd really got in to them and even wanted an encore which is rare for an opening act. As I had second row, dead center seats I got to see just how good musicians they really are, much better live than on CD IMHO.
Yes was as usual......GREAT. They hit every song dead on except for a minor glitch during Awaken but that is no big deal. It is almost expected at a Yes concert that JA will forget the words to one song. With all of the tunes that they have produced through the years, I can imagine that a mistake can happen now and then. The group as a whole seemed to really be together and enjoying themselves which really pumped up the crowd. My only wish was that, as much as I like Roundabout, that they would use it elsewhere in the set and come up with a "newer" encore. However, just another in a long line of great Yes shows.

On another note, I saw Journey the Monday before Yes and as a quick comment......they were great too.
I believe it was Yesspaz that had told me that they were really good in concert and I wouldn't be disappointed and that was correct. A really good, long show. The only drawback was it was raining for the majority of the show. I had front row, center and had taken my two teenage daughters....their first concert.....and they are now Journey fans and are ticked I didn't take them to Yes.....maybe next tour.
Nice pics Vax......I should have done the meet and greet.....again, maybe next tour.
