John Lombardi

A friend and I took the train from New York City that afternoon. We arrived in Philly at about 5:30 pm and walked over to our hotel (The Sheraton). As we were walking in the entrance a limo arrives and out steps Jon, Alan, and Rick. I guess they were returning from the sound check. Once in the lobby, Steve walked directly in front of us. We were so pumped up, we had to smoke a dobbie to settle down before the show. Donovan was good. I remembered "Hurdy Gurdy Man" as the second song. I was disappointed he didn't do "Atlantis". Yes was as always, fantastic. The seats we purchased were at the top of the arena, but we went down and located two empty ones on the side adjacent to Steve. During the first encore, a girl ran on the stage and Claude-Johnson Taylor assisted in chasing her off.
