On my way to the Stockholm YES concert

[Harpo1973]

I saw Yes in July at a spectacular venue at Clearlake California. Third time I saw Yes. BEST CONCERT in my life. Playlist is accurate, they did play a song from "Magnification" and of course "Roundabout". I think our concert was longer than others on the tours; they also played - I am blanking on the title - "Hot color turning the anger to stone...did we really count to 100". Women really liked that song. The finale was "Starship Trooper" with about 8 members of the Symphony Orchestra. BETTER THAN STUDIO VERSION. Also Yes played a total percusssion piece with some hu magus drums.

I have always loved Yes since the early 70s. However, I did not even realize that "Prog" existed until this concert. I was fascinated that there were many 20 somethings in the audience and asked someone , how they know about such an ancient group. One guy replied, "They are the Gods of Prog."!

Thank you for such a great site as I use it to screen purchases - I have boughten Camel's Snow Goose and Renaissance from what I have heard here.
