Jeff & Justin

To those of you who aren't sure if you want to see this tour...if you are enamored by the musice of Yes, then you should not do yourself the injustice of missing this. The band is at their very best. They are performing with even greater skill and mastery than 25 years ago. The music they are including is classic Yes. Last evening I was seemingly transported to a time and place many years previous and if I closed my eyes, it was as if I was 18 again and they were on a tour from the late 70's. The same magic permeated the theater.

The orchestra was incredible. They added a rich depth to many of the songs with orchestrations that enhanced the soaring epic compositions. We even caught the conductor clapping with the audience on a few occasions when the orchestra had a rest. It appeared as though he really was enjoying the evening.

My 17 year old son is a percussionist and this was his first Yes concert. He has been listening to Yes for years and finally was able to attend. It won't be his last.

To those who we chatted with at the brewery before the show...thanks for sharing the warm memories. It was the perfect place for us to relax beforehand. I wonder if anyone else noticed the large photos on the wall near the billiard tables? They looked like something Roger Dean would do. Very fun.

To those of you who hold tickets...you are in for the show of your lives!
