| Hey gotta tell you guy's if you get the chance to see YES live please don't let it get by you. I saw them Thursday Night in Syracuse and I was blown away! My God it is hard to believe these guy's are still able to deliver the energy and the perfectly performed, high tech, music they have at their ages! They rocked the house off it's feet for 2 hours! I know I am a YES fan but I'm tellin ya everyone ought to see these guy's at least once! I saw them 22 years ago and to be honest they are better now than they were then! Sorry no Ovations were used? |

| Thanks guy's. Did not know about this! I have not found the date yet but I will be watching!
From what I saw the other night, live, this is one fantastic concert to see. They are better than ever! Even if this music isn't your thing, give it a listen, you'll be blown away by the complexity of some of this music! These guy's have the ability to just play their parts and let the music do the talking. No show-boating! they are just that good!
Al hope your feeling better? Kick back and watch this! BY the way I bought a Rick Wakeman DVD for the keyborad player to watch. It is a tape of his solo concert It is funny and he is a master at is craft! Nice to see him so animated ! I am used to seeing him with his eyes closed breaking the sound barrier on the key's!
I am learning how hard it is to not only play one part in a song by these guy's, and other's, but to have the right volume, sound, drama, concentration, (and an overall knowledge of what everyone else is doing), to work with four or five other guy's to pull just one of their songs off well. These guy's just do it like it's natural and they have been doing it that way for 30 years or more now! I know, I know, were doing ohter music as well were just starting with the hardest ones first!
I have also found I will need a real good sound man to do this right? Guy's who know what they are doing with microphones & the new effects and controling the instrument's and vocal settings are more valuable that I ever realized! Randy |

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada | Well, Steve Winwood was on this past Saturday night, so maybe this coming Saturday (September 25) is the Yes concert. I think we get a Detroit area PBS station that broadcasts Soundstage at 11 p.m. Saturday nights. |
