indeed!
I'm going to the Holmdel show this saturday, will head into the arena for all 4 acts for sure. we were offered $20 upgrades from our 300 level seats (I opted for cheapies as I usually do when there's a multi-act / shorter set summer bill) to 13th row center Steve side. not sure how that bodes for overall sales. it would seem that YES is a firm 2,000-4,000 seat act moving forward
sneaked a peek at the setlist. I usually don't, but there was some interesting scuttlebutt this time. so I looked. totally inspired for a summer shed set, didn't have to be as varied as it is. kudos indeed
now I am really looking forward to the YES proper tour later in the year!

I'm hoping to make the Cary, NC show. I'm a fan of all bands involved, but especially Yes, and hearing that they are doing "Gates..." has made me seriously consider this...Hmmm...

A taste of the epic^^
Thoughts?
Allow me I'm glad the setlist was posted, l was hoping to post a mini review after the show last night but it was a late night and I needed to be up very early for work, l don't have a lot of time now either but will post comments about the show when l can, but briefly, l thought all four bands were excellent, l thought John Lodge was much better than what I was expecting, l thought the new Asia line up went over very well, , Steve played with the band for at least half the set, oh and Carl Palmer with Arthur Brown was interesting, they played exactly 30 minutes, Arthur is a real character!

Gates is my favorite Yes performance from all players/positions, including Jon Anderson's vocal edge
as I am a pragmatist in June of 2019, I can accept what is offered and can say that JonD's lack of 'edge' may be revealed at the most on this selection. I trust that Geoff and Billy will do great as well. somewhat underrated and besmirched
eternally grateful to have seen the Masterworks versions
I am stoked

it could very well stand as a cap of sorts for the 'Full LP Show' runs. if they don't do 'Relayer' do we assume those are over (???)
it's exciting to see how every tour offers a chance to air varied material from a transporting POV. love it
now we watch Steve's attitudes and heath moving forward. it looks great so far

Hopefully we'll get Gates and maybe the whole of Relayer in the UK next year
Here's all of Gates

RE: Gates. That was a treat, even if by YouTube!
I thought that was pretty solid, especially for the first show of the tour. I enjoyed Imagine too, however they should have Yes-ified it a bit more.

Yes..
While the original song itself is no toe tapper, this just seems to drag on and on and I just don't understand why they chose this song other than the fact Alan played on it for John.
The thing I always loved about Yes' version of America, they made it their own, they Yesified it. This version reminded me of a wedding band(and I apologize for being so blunt).
I love what Yes is doing these days in their shows, stretching themselves,Gates sounds awesome, but even Geoff's piano playing sounded off on this song.
Maybe a duet with just Jon D and Geoff would work better, but this just didn't work me me.
