I cannot claim to be a huge fan of Prog Rock being a child of the Year Zero 1977! As an Englishman living in New Hampshire I certainly thought it would be rude not to catch up with my fellow Brits in Durham. What an outstanding show! The performances from each individual member were extraordinary and yet they came together in a seamless mix as a band. Fabulous song selection although I would love to have heard Wondrous Stories (their only hit single after all!). A 3 hour show and I would gladly have listened for 3 more hours. Loved the acoustic songs from Steve Howe and good to see that Wakeman is still looking like the son Of Merlin in the flowing cape. Yes really are worth seeing if you get the chance. Starship Trooper was as effective an end to any show I have ever seen - come back soon boys!!

What a very different show compared to Wallingford, CT. Outstanding selection of songs. Highlights include an inspirational Close to the Edge, with Jon's voice sounding sweet, a great Wakeman showcase of excerpts, an awesome Heart of the Sunrise, and a Starship Trooper encore which soared, after Roundabout. Of course Howe, Squre, and White all performed well, which we've probably been taking for granted lately. Steve even dedicated The Clap for the British taxman (did I hear right?), adding a few words to the audience making this night seem even more special. For those of you who were disappointed with Jon and Rick Saturday night, they more than made up for it tonight. All this in a venue which is a sports complex, yet had very good acoustics. It's kind of funny hearing these outstanding versions of Yessongs live while looking up at the hockey championship banners, almost surreal. Thanks, YES and fans for a wonderful evening. May you all have good health and spirit to keep the whole scene moving on for a long, long time.
