Hey steve, what ever happened to that film? I'm sure many would kill to see it.

This was the first time I ever saw YES live, and to say I was amazed is an understatement. The stage, the lights, the music...I was 17 at the time and had never witnessed such a spectacle. I actually brought in a Super 8 movie camera and got 6 minutes of the show on film, but our seats weren't very close so the footage leaves something to be desired. I remember standing in line outside before the show, and there was a hot air balloon tethered near the entrance to the arena. Albuquerque is the hot air balloon capital of the world, so seeing the balloon wasn't unusual, but the graphics were. The balloon was Roger Dean's cover of TFTO, and I had never before or since seen Dean's work at that scale. I wonder what ever happened to that balloon?
