Lance Dutton Excellent venue. Excellent sound. This was a Yes Show. The ABWH name was a legal thing since Chris owned the name, and was entrenched with Rabin at the time. Chris was was badly missed on this album and this show. Tony Levin seemed out of place in this band. "Starship Trooper" which relies heavily on the bass, sounded like an tinny AM radio version. There was a pause in the song where Jon wandered off into "Soon" and "Nou Somme Du Soliel" that was "very magical" to quote Jon. The show overall was excellent. The solos were a great touch and Wakeman fans got a real treat. There is nothing like hearing Wakeman live. By far the most skilled pianist in rock history. Howe played "Mood For A Day" and "The Clap" flawlessly as usual. A great night. A Classic Yes Show but we missed ya' Chris. Joe G. A terrific show and a nice venue. The sound was very good and I especially recall Bill Bruford being very "on" that night. ABWH was a really nice album and showed there was still life in the Yes formula. This was very much Yes in my mind even though the tickets might have said ABWH. David Schuetz That big flag that Anderson was waving around during 'Wurm' was a new addition (if he didn't have it at your show, it was a large, tie-dyed flag, with "Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe" on it, and a big peace symbol, and lots of glitter). It could have been because they were just about done, and wanting to go out with a bang... Scott Eden My second ABWH show, I preferred this one to the August 5, 1989 show. Because this was an enclosed venue, the music was louder and clearer. Also, as opposed to the August show, Howe was very much up front in the mix. Again, Bill and Tony's jam was great. Tony is an excellent bass player and his did a good job. However, his style is different from Squire's. As a result, Squire's absence was definitely heard. The guy I went with recorded the show, but something went wrong and nothing showed up on the tape.
before 'And You And I' transcribed by: Pete Whipple Jon Anderson:DC Washington. Oh we don't care we're we are right? [???]. Constitution Hall eh? The last song is for this place. That was called 'Birthright' and that was really all about this incredible change we are going through and witnessing this modern time of the nineties. Here's a song from another time [???]. before 'Meeting, The' transcribed by: Pete Whipple Jon Anderson:Thank you very much. Thank you. It's seems like..uh a long time since we actually played right in the middle of Washington. Right down the corner from the White House. Stuff like that and it's brings..uh for me, it's brings everything into perspective because if you think about it. If there really going to be change in this world. If you, did you see in the last six months and incredible change? This city is were the healing will start. [???] much. Because change we must. Change we will. Woo!

Here we are in the nineties, really believing it so much that we're going to make a change. We're going to try to make it work. When we were recording the album 'ABWH'. 'ABWH'. We..uh needed Rick Wakeman. Mr. Wakeup. [???] When..uh, it was really sorta..uh lazy beautiful afternoon in the recording studio and..uh we just got together and wrote this next song and it really is all about being together. A lot of energy coming together and it was for you. We want it. We want to have it. The song is called 'The Meeting'. before 'Heart Of The Sunrise' transcribed by: Pete Whipple Jon Anderson:Woo! Thank you very much. When..uh we first got, first got together and talked about going on tour together for the first time in many, many years. We started making the list of songs we loved to play, you see?. The list obviously got longer and longer as we discussed it. This actually is, this is..we've been touring now for about..uh seven or eights months and this is our next to the last show. So you can you imagine. It's great to be with you on our last to the next show. [???]. Woo! [???] tomorrow night in New York. We, we, we won't remember it, we'll just do it. You see? So it's really great to be with you. This song, it always came up on the list and we'd like to play it for you now. It's called 'Heart Of The Sunrise'. before 'Starship Trooper' transcribed by: Pete Whipple Jon Anderson:Woo!
