Yes tonight in Katowice reached the highlights. It was combination of excellent workshop, as usual, magic and vitality that yes music brings. Ion still sings perfectly with great sense of melody... Steve was just Steve, incredible, i do not know hoe it is possibble to play so many sounds with out any effort... Alan, the shining star of today`s concert... Some time ago during us tour someone said that "ritual" is Chris song, i don`t agree, it is a song of Chris and Alan... He realy made his best. And finally Chris, the best bass guitar player in the world. He makes the yes sound so special and powerfull... Tom Brislin a bit in the shadow, and i considered him to be a bit nervous, but he had his time in "starship trooper" for example and in "And you and i". The music was fresh and perfect, no mistakes. Sound was perfect, the show was brilliant, with all the lights, choregraphy... Orchestra made their best and gave something different and special. There were some snacky things also, in "close to the edge" for example, that had never been before in studio or live recordings, that means yes music is going forward and is in constant evolution. Thanks Ion and company for a new album "magnification" which i consider to be one of the best yes albums ever... i love especially "Dreamtime", song resamble "on the sillent wings of freedom" ("tormato" things)... I wish they played it. I would like to hear also "we agree" but all the songs on new album are fantastic like "in the presence of", played on concert, but also "give love each day" amongst others... I have one wish... Please yes, do not forget "Dreamtime", and put it to your setlist for future performances... I am going to Warsaw to see you again, and enyoy your wonderfull music once again.
