And here's Awaken - part 2:

Great video! Thanks so much for posting it.

Yeah, it's been aweek since that concert and it's still amazing in memory. They were ALL so good at Westbury. Steve was energetic and nearly perfect.

Chris was having fun - great vocals, too - right before Awaken, he had just picked up his 3-necked bass, then went striding across the front of the stage back to his spot chuckling, "ha, ha, haaaaaah." !!!Wow!!!

Geoff was great. He nailed the songs and enjoyed playing. And the coat! One if by land, two if by sea! Very cool.
Alan was good - seemed to be having a great time also.

Jon Davidson was fantastic. He knows the stuff cold! Not one mistake.
He brings his own impeccable musicality to the repertoire. I was really impressed.

Anyone who has been skeptical of the changes within Yes over the last couple of years or not liked the last CD should seriously give them another look.
Fly From Here is a different song live, esp with this lineup. They knocked my socks off.

Truly AWESOME video, Hipsta! Wow you must have had a blast at that gig!!

[Hipstagirl 2011]

Yes I did! Travelled all the way from Holland and got rewarded for it :) Twice actually, because the Englewood show was soooo amazing too I'm so glad I have 'digital memories' of this show as well

although the sound is not that great, this is a great way to see and hear awaken.... the look on Downs face during the ending is sooooo worth it..his energy and and feeling for the song transcends..

The biggest problem I have with FFH is it's too soft...A harder edge to the album I think would have made it more enjoyable. The songs are certainly good enough. Maybe Clockwork Angels has skewed my thinking...to me it sounds like what Yes should have sounded like all this time.

Nah, I don't want Yes to sound like current Rush. I just Yes want Yes to be great. We'll see what happens with next album.

Really? But Rush has always been much more hardrock ten Yes has been. I agree with you that FFH is a bit too soft, but when I talk about Yes should rock a little harder I'm thinking more in the lines of 'Drama' harder.
