The second year in a row that Yes visits Gaelic Park, this time as headliner to J. Geils Band and Jo Jo Gunne. Being a huge Bill Bruford fan, I am quite disappointed over his leaving the band, but Alan White fits in nicely, with only a few shaky moments through all those complex arrangements. Chris Squire does spend some time, back to the audience, giving White cues. For me, first time hearing live performance of Close To The Edge material, which I consider their greatest work. Also, spectacular, dynamic version of Heart Of The Sunrise. Not bad for five bucks!!

Try sitting down. I think that might just help, really.
