They definitely played both the 27th & 28th - I went both nights.
Skipped school to get the tickets - took orders from mates and my brothers mates - got a right bollocking for that.
First night was in the Circle - I remember during Roundabout encore having a slight panic as I noticed the balcony moving noticeably.
I thought Trevor Horn did alright and Squires solo included a bit of Amazing Grace.
I was 14 at the time and it was my first gig - what is it about Yes and first time gigs? :)

They also played the Glasgow Apollo on 28th November that year. It was pretty amazing seeing my first 3 gigs - Jon's New Life Band Tour, Rick's Daily Error tour and Yes Drama - all within a few weeks of each other. Magic.

The crowd was pretty hostile to the new members and when Geoff Downes played his solo and included Video killed the Radio star, things turned ugly. Certainly Trevor Horne couldn't reach any high notes during and You and I and was heckled vociferously.
The Squire and Howe solos were cheered and the new songs were appreciated (Are there any studio versions of these?) An interesting night then.

This was my first Yes concert and as such I was not generally aware of the controversy surrounding the tour. I was only 13 yrs old and I have good memories from the concert - including my brother getting into a rather heated "discussion" with the gentleman a few seats away from us who continually shouted "Fuck off" and "Bring back Jon".
Particular things which have always stuck in my mind regarding the show is;
Chris Squire playing his solo on a raised platform, Steve Howe playing the Clap under a single white light and the band lined up along the front of the stage to sing the second encore, "Man In A White Car" together.
For a 13 yr old this was all pretty mind blowing stuff.
I'm sure they only did the 27th show, although I could be wrong.
