Hi All,

we saw Yes yesterday in Dusseldorf. Allthough I was having a headache for the
largest part of the day that completely disappeared during the yesshow :}
What to say... We knew what to expect as the setlist is considered stable
at the time and I have quite a few recordings from the U.S. leg.
And what to add to other reports, as everyone is so positive on this tour.
Not too much, I am afraid. The show is just plain fantastic, the playing
is great, everyone is in a splendid mood, the visuals are magnificent and allthough
the setlist has some weaknesses it's fortunate very different from last times
so the enjoyment is great!

Highlights to mention only a few: Particularly Turn of The Century was the highlight of
the evening. How do they dare to play this song every night for halls which become completely
silent at this. To quote Jon: It's amaazing. Glad I can see that song once more.
I remember 77 with it's dancing ballet silhoutte in the background as being as impressive!
Other highlights? The full Mind Drive Set was great, I loved the acoustic set and Ritual
was great to see and to hear. BTW, the visuals created are just stunning. Ok you have to look
beyond the inflatables when they're not lighted but with the correct textures they really add
to the Topographic feeling.
For the guys, they were all on track, but especially Howe was outstanding, it's his Yes now!
Hope Alan and Chris feel as well in the band as Steve does, then we'll be enjoying them
for a long time!
Lastly, the German crowd was great. Not much distraction, in fact pretty quiet, still
they were full into it!. And very lastly I want to thank Matthias for getting us such
great seats (6th row, in the middle). We made two recordings, but both have a little issue,
so we'll patch them up for a great memorable of this fantastic show!

Bye, Ruud
