I clearly remember the first time I ever saw Yes (late 70s, Stafford Bingley Hall, Donovan supporting) thinking 'Chris Squire looks bl**dy old!" and yet here they are, still going strong. And I ain't complaining :-) I've seen them whenever the chance has arisen since then, of course, including on the oft-maligned Yeggles tour, promoting Drama. Well I thought it was good even if nobody else did :-) Amazing, isn’t it?

The ending of Ritual was pretty damned impressive, eh? I loved that bit. White is under-rated as a drummer, even by me. He made me pay attention. I loved South Side; definitely one of the high points, as was Starship Trooper. Wakeman was glorious, as to be expected. I'm glad you decided to go!

I haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing them in concert, though. I'll have to find a CD version of Tormato eventually! D I still treasure my audio tape of Yes, Tormato :)
