My third YES show, and you'd think this would have been the perfect lineup; and in-the-round, no less. I'm not saying it wasn't a great show, but it felt like something was missing from the performance. Noteably, it seemed that from my perspective that Steve Howe and Trevor Rabin did not want to come together as guitar partners; as if they were making a point of competing with each other. Also, I don't thing the UNION album was their biggest high point.
The UNION tour seemed to me like a great idea on paper, but it was not, in my opinion, the best time for YES.

SleeStack:
I was just remembering a show I saw during the Union Tour when I "crazed" fan ran full speed at the stage, over the heads of some incredibly large steroid pumping security guards, and landed on the stage next to Jon. I guess Jon, waved the guards off, because the guy was dancing around with Jon and even joined hands with him!
KWint60350:
I was at that show as well and definately do remember this [crazed fan rushing the stage] happening. It happened during the Roundabout encore and Jon lifted this guys arm up as if declaring him the winner of a heavyweight title bout.This show was in the round and he timed his rushing the stage perfectly. I also remember the security people dragging him off quite forcefully.
Steven Swerdlin:
Yes triumphantly entered the Nassau Coliseum to a standing _ten_ minute ovation (I timed it!) We, the audience, expected what could only be delivered by this TOTAL YES group. And they provided a stellar performance. Yes was so in sync that the audience was hypnotized by the middle of Awaken. When we realized that we were under Yes' spell, the crowd broke out in smiles and spontaneous applause all over! The show ended with Yes being called back for three encores, with each one taking some time as the members had to work their way serpentine like through the crowd each time.

Thank you very much. Woo! We started..uh we started rehearsing for this tour, you know, a few weeks ago and..uh this next song, we really started to play it as a four piece and then a five piece. We noticed everybody started to come on stage. So everybody wanted to play this next song and you'll realize why when we do it. The song is called 'Heart Of The Sunrise'.

Jon Anderson:
So there I was it seems just like yesterday. It wasn't just yesterday but it was a quite a long time ago. I picked a guitar for the first time. I started to write little songs and stuff. I'm going to play one for you now. It went something like this. Actually it just, just went exactly like this. Little bit quieter. [sings a bit of 'Long Distance Runaround']. The song you see. So the following day I went down to Advision Studios and these four guys were here at Advision Studios. There was Bill and Steve and Rick and Christopher, Christopher and..uh they made it sound just like this, it was incredible.
