A day’s break and then back to the City Hall in Sheffield, and a good seat near the front. It was certainly buzzing tonight.
Jon Anderson continued to have ‘senior moments’. Chris Squire pulled his leg before ‘Face to Face’, asking him if he knew the name of the song. He didn’t and had to be reminded. Charitable smiles all round.
No set list changes this evening. I’m enjoying ‘Homeworld’, from The Ladder, rather more in concert than on disc, especially with those booming bass pedals. I remain unconvinced by the ending. A tad too twee for my tastes.
Overall, another good show from the band.

Cathy:
I certainly agree with you there. I was lucky enough to get tickets for the front row - it was amazing. I've never had front row seats at a gig before, the sound was so different from sitting further back. Instead of the sometimes distorted sound you get from the large speakers, you could hear the music coming from the musicians' speakers and you could pick up every note, although at times Jon's voice did sound to be drowned out.
My hubby should have gone with me but he was ill, so my sister came instead. She is not a Yes fan and doesn't know many of their songs, but even she was clapping and joining in with the ones she did know. One of the first things she commented was "doesn't Steve Howe look really ill"!
I couldn't really see the full effect of the backdrop and lights, sitting so close, but I do think those were images from the game [Homeworld]. There was a large advert for the game in the back of the tour programme.
Igor has improved a great deal since the last time.

Paul Redman:
Brilliant set last night! The City Hall was full and the atmosphere fantastic!
The new projected backdrop was mesmerising and complemented the set. Were there excerpts from Homeworld the game? Is it out yet and is it any good?
Jon forgot the words to 'And you and I' (again), and couldn't remember some of the names of the songs either. These things can be forgiven.
Overall a wonderful night - much better than 2 years ago.
Here's to the next time!

Mr. Chris Squire on bass guitar here. Mystify. Mystify. Would you believe that he had a son four days ago? Mr. Christopher Squire. Woo! Oh he didn't have the baby his wife did but that's okay because we were on tour. [???] Sorry. So we're there in the studio writing this..uh next song and..uh this..uh a song were Bruce would came up to me and said 'Why don't you write a song about somebody who really influence your life?" and..uh I told right away of Bob Marley for some reason and..uh I just remember my children singing Bob Marley songs to me and I thought that was kinda cool. Because he was already not in this world but as you know he is a great legend so this is a song about him. It's called..uh 'The Messenger'. Songs my children sang to me.

before 'It Will Be A Good Day'
transcribed by: Pete Whipple
Jon Anderson:
..one day we'll do it. We will. [???] Here's a, this is a song for a guy called Alan. It's his 50th birthday coming up and I got a lovely letter from his wife. This song is..uh I was writing the lyrics to this song in a lounge again in Vancouver it's a new song and I couldn't figure out the last line. I was going through all these words and thinking "How do I end this verse?" and this guy came in with cakes and tea and coffee and said "Hey Jon it will be a good day" and I, and he walked out. So I quickly wrote down "It'll Be A Good Day" which is the title of the song.

Jon Anderson:
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. We're going to try something now. We haven't never tried this ever before so..uh. No, no, no, no. It's not [???]. We'll do that one. Sorry. I want you to stand up and dance all the way through this song. I know your not used to it but [???]
Chris Squire:
Can you remember the name of the song?
Jon Anderson:
No. Oh there it is and..uh I know the chorus at least. The chorus says 'The promise will come when the promise is made'. So if you all want to get up and dance to this it will be kinda fun. Just for, just for a break. It's like, C'mon. Please, stand up. C'mon. Break. Stretch you legs. Here we go. C'mon, everybody stand up a little. You'll be okay. C'mon. Everybody. It'll be okay.

Jon Anderson:
Woo! Thank you so much. Thank you. We'll be able to say one "Do you remember in Sheffield when we got them all up dancing? It was kinda cool" So thank you so much for that.
Man In Audience:
Can we sit down now?
Jon Anderson:
Yes you can sit down now. Sorry. Take it easy. I know you have to go find your seat now. Sorry..uh, c'mon move along. Time's up. When we were rehearsing this next song..uh it kinda a song we haven't played for quite a long time from the eighties and..uh the lyrics are so basically simple. Relating to the fact if we listen to our children they will tell us all we need to know. We just go to learn to listen more. Song is called 'Hearts'.
