This was my second time seeing Yes, the first being the 90125 tour also at the good ole OMNI, in Atlanta, Ga. I had real good seats that had me about 20 rows back on the floor. I felt like on a few occasions during the show, that Jon and I made direct eye contact with one another, and I was just awe-struck the whole night. Since then and really dating back to the 1984 tour, I've had a love affair with the band. As morbid as this sounds, I even have a few select songs chosen to be played at my funeral. "Holy Lamb", "Wonderous Stories", and "The Meeting" by ABWH. Yes is the one band that absolutely connects to my soul, I just get chills when I hear them. Anyway, I was at this show and it was spectacular, I only wish I would have seen them back in the 70's.
Lee M.:
The day of the ticket release at Turtle's--of course we remember Turtle's!--it was an icy day on the streets. I was 3rd in line at the Buford Hiway location and wound up with 8th row center tix.
Even though I've always thought of Yes with Howe and Wakeman this turned out to be a good night for the band. Trevor Rabin rocked out on Heart of the Sunrise. There was much post show discussion as to how much of that night's music was tape loop or MIDI influenced on some of the older tunes. Squire really got down on the bass for about 10 minutes, though. But despite the fact that BG was critically panned, I always enjoyed Shoot High Aim Low, and wasn't sure if it would translate well live. But Alan White kept the beat and it sounded great. Long live Yes! Viva Yes!

Rodney Scheffer:
OK...I made a slight mistake on my previous review. I stated that I have seen Yes one time since the BG tour...It was not the Talk tour. It was the Open Your Eyes tour. I know no one would ever know, but it bothered me enough to clarify.
Rodney Scheffer:
The day of the show, I heard they were releasing more seats, most located next to the stage. I called Turtles Records (remember them?) and they had one set that someone had had printed up but decided not to purchase. I told them to hold 'em and I would be right there!
We were three rows up at the left front corner of the stage. Beautiful seats!
The show was my first time seeing Yes live. I had wanted to see them for years but it just never worked out. It was well worth the wait. I have since seen them one other time (Talk tour) and will see them again as soon as possible.
My girlfriend (now my wife) and I especially enjoyed the Popeye cartoon before the show. I believe it was the one with the jungle dudes with the big noses...I can't remember the names.
Also, the capacity is listed as 17000, but it was probably half that with the set-up that night. It was what is aptly called 'half-house.'
