OMG I was there! I was 17, senior in HS, and it was the first YES concert for me, at the old Spectrum in Philly. I also saw Tull there the same month I think. At the time we thought they were gods. They always deliver the songs live as perfect as the studio. I can almost smell the thick clouds of weed smoke...

Saw them last night.If you have any doubts about going to this current show lose them. They wer super tight and Benoit David pulled of the vocals with flying colors. Ricks son was right on. Dont miss this possibly last chance to see these guys.Steve Howe is tight as ever regardless of his current resemblance to the crypt keeper. Dont miss it

Damn... this has always been one of my favorite Yes tunes. A bit underrated, I think. A great way to end an album! What is a (are?) khatru, anyway?

Why aren't Yes and some of the other Progressive Rock bands of the 70's in the rock and roll hall of fame?

Well, it's not EXACTLY Yes--it's the "power trio" of Chris, Steve, and Alan, plus "understudies" on lead vox and keys (Rick's son Oliver, actually), owing essentially to health issues from Jon and Rick. Still getting good reviews, though.

I was there also. 7th Row! I still remember the spot lights reflecting off of Chris Squire's Bass pick guard!
