Was treated to a stunning, beautiful, powerful, outstanding show on Sept 1 at the Warfield in SF. My 22nd Yes show. The band was on fire throughout the whole set. The M&G was fun and very enjoyable, and the band was clearly in good spirits.

Steve is superlative and moves around the stage like a man half his age. Billy nailed it, as usual, and Jon is such a joy to listen to and watch. He commands that stage. Geoff was terrific all night and was full of smiles, and Dylan Howe --- wow, one supremely gifted master of the drums. And speaking of drums, Alan played a bit more than half the show, and was very powerful behind the kit. The deal drumming was very cool, as on DKTW. It is wonderful to see Alan recovering and back behind the kit, despite being a bit frail-looking and seeming a little unsteady on his feet.

YES 50 here we come ...
