Reviews

Eric Vander Woude:

This was my first yesshow. Third row. I was with older fans that grumbled about all the new stuff. I loved Drama and still do. I listened to it every day for like a year back then. Before I got Yessongs...

I loved the rotating stage and Chris'' showmanship (that everyone references - I guess it''s always been there.)

Entry: A shimery tubular curtain decended from above and the band was lifted into the curtain space from below. Then the curtain lifted. It was cool. I have wasted many hours imagining even cooler entrances.

My favorite songs were And You and I and White Car
