Strictly.
The sound was not 100% perfect, the bass was over the top most of the time, the band lost coordination kind of 3 times (understable considering, this was the first show of the leg), Wakeman had few opportunities to shine, and David suffered a bit while trying to get the higher notes with his voice (CTTE was close to the collapse when he forgot the lines in the climax)
No matter this, it was some kind of excitment in the venue last night, and Yes offered a memorable performance, there is no doubt that Steve Howe is having a good time in this tour, I have never seen him like last night, jumping, moving, joking, talking to the audience, I think he had a refresh since touring with Asia. In fact the entire band seems refreshed and happy with the adition of Wakeman and David, who is doing a good job on the vocals, although the people misses Anderson, Benoit is really a good singer.
It was a pleasure to hear "Tempus Fugit", "Machine Messiah", "Astral Traveler" (wow) and "Onward", also the introducion to And You And I was a surprise.
I hope they release a record soon, this seems quite difficult, but the fans will be very pleased if we have new music for our beloved band. "Aliens" can be a teaser for a new recording?. I hope Yes.

In short, great show last night, the venue was completely sold out. Audience received very well this Yes incarnation, and went wild after most of the songs, sound was impeccable, and the band members seem to be quite happy and as virtuoso as ever. Howe said after CTTE something like "we have come a long way, but this is completely worth it". They played for around 2:20 hours, but it all went too fast.
No major changes in the setlist, to the best of my memory they played, after the Firebird suite (goose bumps again!!):
Siberian Khatru
I've Seen All Good People
Tempus Fugit
Onward
Astral Traveller
Close To The Edge
Steve Solo
And You And I
Long Distance Runaround/The Fish
Aliens (Are Only Us From The Future)
Machine Messiah
Starship Trooper
Encore:
Owner Of A Lonely Heart
Roundabout
Personal favorites were CTTE, AYAI, MM, ST, and Roundabout.
Hopefully, I will have a chance to see them once again in the future.
