Ok, someone help me out here. How on earth did yes attract 40,000 people at this gig? ( ok, they would have done it in the 70's ) Many other dates on the open your eyes tour were played to smaller theaters. I know this gig was a free event. Did any old folk just turn up coz it was free or was there 40,000 genuine yes fans there? I have noticed there are a few more 40,000 plus dates too around this time.

I have some informations concerning the June 19th show with AP/Yes.
First, they open up to the public at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Then there's going to be another band performing called Okoume (a french speaking group). I saw that in a tv commercial from Budweiser, maybe if you've seen more than the end of the commercial you could tell me if they said anything else important.

Pretty damn good show tonight at the Parc des Iles in Montreal. A free show sponsored by Budweiser.
My estimate is that there was about 40 000 people at various level of intoxication. But hey, you had to be on something to appreciate the stage with the Montreal skyline in the back.
Loved Alan Parsons. Crowd very into it.
Yes got on at 8:45 and played pass 11:00
Something spooky happened during Close to the Edge. A generator connected to a tour bus caught fire and flames and black smoke rised rapiidly on the left hand side of the stage.
It made for a diversion and an added visual effect!

I just saw a bit of Yes on Quebeqois TV. They were playing Long Distance Runaround, and guy was talking right over it. I heard something about a structure on fire, but Yes seemed to be alright. I wasn't really listening to the guy, as I was trying to hear LDR, so it could be totally unrelated. Open your eyes to further, more precise reports.
Alex:
The attendance was 50,000 people.
They played only a small part of Ritual (About 3 minutes). Just before the song, Jon said that since most people in the audience speaks french, he would sing a song in french.
