So I can check this off my list. I got to see Yes, for the first, and given their advancing ages, probably the last time, tonight. It reinforces my belief that if you put enough musical talent together in one place, it will eventually produce something truly profound. They are, as ever, just amazing.
Current lineup: Rick Wakeman (keys), Alan White (drums), Steve Howe (guitars), Chris Squire (bass) and Jon Anderson fronting. Many of their older favorites were present in the lineup. including Awaken, Starship Trooper (encore), All Good People, Sweet Dreams, Owner of a Lonely Heart, America (Paul Simon), Wonderous Stories and many others.
They still do righteously rock the house.
I’ve seen Yes a couple times… they are just amazing. So fucking talented. Most recently, I saw them on their Masterworks tour – all old stuff. It was amazing. Glad you got to take them in too!
As an aside, if you want to hear a band that sounds a bit like early Yes, though heavier and with some Bjorn Lynne mixed in, check out Gordian Knot.
