Steve did neither play "J's Theme" nor "Ram". Actually he played "The Valley of Rocks".

Das Grauen hat einen Namen: YES!! (Zitat von Stefan) und ich stimme zu

Steve Howe didn't play "J's Theme"!!!! Before "Ram", he gave us a wonderful version of "Mood For A day". "J's Theme" was played in Bamberg.

It was the Great YES !
Thanks guys and please, go for a new album. One of pure prog as during the golden years...
See you soon
Wellos

Please note that Steve's solo was 'J's Theme' and 'Ram'. Thanks.

I`ve seen Yes many times.Yesterday I was there with my brother.
They are special artists.Real great music.Like old wine are they getting better and better....I watched more how they play than to go with the feelings and the emotions the music brings.
Brilliant.Hope to see them again.

it was my 7th or 8th YES show I saw, and I was quit suprised
of the show I saw- It was just great. Howe and Squire are still
the best musicians at their instruments, and are as good as I
first saw them in 1977 during the GOING FOR THE ONE Tour.
Oliver and David did much better then I ever expected, and Alan
is just a great drummer. I hope that I will get the chance to see them once more time, and that they don´t stop getting on the
road.

For a long time, I hesitated whether to get tickets for a show with the current line-up; in the end I did, not least because I was afraid it might be the last opportunity to show my 10-year old daughter at least 3/5th of the legend YES. And good we went, we would have missed a wonderful show.
Granted, Alan White may not be as energetic as some years ago, but he played quite well and to the point.
I also really liked Benoit; not as spiritual as Jon Anderson, but a very good singer. I noticed one slip in the lyrics in Yours Is No Disgrace, but he covered it very gracefully and I have heard David bowie stumble over his own lyrics at times, so ... He was not at all too low in the mix (except in the pieces after Steve Howes solo, Owner and South Side; by the way, same setlist as in all the concerts so far on this tour, as usual without Starship Trooper :-(. Actually his voice stood out very well in All Good People, And You And I, etc.
Talking about sound: overall very good, except for one short glitch in Steve Howes solo. Volume was moderate so that you could hear very clearly which becomes their music.
Chris Squire is still an awesome bass player, the powerhouse of this group. He and the marvelous Steve Howe -- what an incredible guitar player -- turned, e.g., Yours Is No Disgrace into an instrumental behemoth, much like on Yessongs. It was also great, to hear Machine Messiah live!
A final word on Oliver Wakeman. His sounds are certainly different from what the Yes fan ear is accustomed to, but I found their edge not inappropriate. For example, take a look at the lyrics of Yours Is No Disgrace, it certainly deserves some bite in the sounds, and I quite liked the atmosphere he created in Onward, Messiah etc. He may seem somewhat detached, but I think. a keyboarder has to express himself through his fingers, not his face or body, and his physically relaxed way of playing may not look as stirring as, say, Keith Emersons showmanship, but his hands will probably fare better than Keiths in the long run.
All in all, a great evening. My daughter was very happy, after ASIA and Rick Wakeman, also having seen YES, and I was again very impressed by the ensemble accord these musicians are capable of.

Chris Squire:
Hey, thank you very much and uh, good evening to uh Karlsruhe. Before we go any further, ah with the show I'd like to introduce you to the twonewest members of the band. On my left, on keyboards, Mr. Oliver Wakeman. And on my right all the way from Montreal Canada, Monsieur Benoit David. The lasttime we had ah two guys join the band ah simultaneously was back in ah 1980, with ahTrevor Horn and Geoff Downes, and that's when we recorded the album Drama. So,we're gonna do two tracks from that album tonight, this is the first one, TempusFugit.

Benoit David:
Danke schön. Guten abend. (speaks German). The next song is from1978's Tormato, a beautiful song called Onward

Steve Howe:
Thank you very much. So how we doing tonight, everybody alright? (?) very nice. We'll belooking at all sorts of different eras of ah Yes repitoire. Now we're going to lookback um to 1969, some of you might know that is just before I showed up um to playguitar, and they had just finished this fantastic record called Time And A Word. Sofrom there, we're taking a track called Astral Traveller.

Benoit David:
We would like to dedicate the next song to our lovedones.

Chris Squire:
Thank you very much. Ah that of course was ah, ah Steve Howe, hiselectric guitar.

Chris Squire:
Ah. And now, as is ah traditional with a Yes Show, um we're goingto ah, change the mood and still say, stay in the guitar mode, and we're gonna haveSteve come on with his electric guitar, oh sorry, his acoustic guitar, Mr. SteveHowe.

Steve Howe:
I know you're confused. I am.

Steve Howe:
Oh thanks very much that was Mood For A Day. And that was just calledum, (?) a beautiful place in a remote part of England, ah North Devon, in a placecalled ah Lynton, and it's called The Valley of Rocks. If you get a change to go toEngland, please go to the Valley of Rocks. Not too many of you, otherwise thatdestroys it, but some of you could go.

Benoit David:
You were promised two songs from the Drama album, here's the secondone, the opening track.

Steve Howe:
Alright thank you very much forcoming down tonight. You've been a wonderful audience thank you. We're gonna to doone more song tonight for you, in the set, it's the last track from, Fragile.
