Hi all,
For those who would like to see Alan's performance at Andel Awards in Ostrava, the Czech Republic form March 15-16, I have found some interesting links on the Czech internet.
First of all, you can watch Alan presenting an award and the band playing Imagine during the main ceremony (March 16) in the online archive of the Czech TV:

(You need RealPlayer to view the stream; the band appears roughly halfway in the stream)

I have also found a 30-minute long audio interview with Alan and other members of his 'band' on the pages of Czech Radio Ostrava:

The interview is in Czech, but there is a translator who translates all
questions to English. (The guests answer in English naturally :)

In a discussion at Yes group at Lopuch (Czech discussion server), one fan ('TomKas&') who attended Alan's concert in a club in Ostrava concert on March 15, says the following:
(http://www.lopuch.cz/klub.php?klub=yes&to=16429)
"The concert was excellent. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the music was great. The band played perfect. They played songs by the Beatles, John Lennon, but also some by Yes (Owner of A Lonely Heart) and other great pieces.
I think the whole event was not intended to overwhelm the audience, it was more about the joy of playing. There were some mistakes (which made the musicians laugh at times). The final jam was a true climax of the whole performance. Hats off
to you Alan and your colleagues! You all sound together very good!
When I was taking a photo with Alan after the concert, he recognized my t-shirt from the last Yes tour and said that the band are planning to go to Prague next year (in June if I understood it correctly)..."
