Kenny, I can understand your doubts after the Glasgow clips. But the RAH clips changed my mind. Let’s not forget they have just lost Alan, and that must effect them deeply.
I thought to my old man ears that the tempos were fine. In fact I thought Jay was was playing really hard and fast , I think Alan would have loved it. Also Billy was getting some great tones from his basses.
Steve was as far as I could see and hear was playing incredible well.
There was the odd sound mishap, but that live music.
There was a great moment at the Birmingham gig when Jay went to throw his drumsticks in the air, and missed the catch on one of them and the stick sort of had a mind of its own and twirled around his symbol and landed back by his drums. He and his drum tech were having a good laugh about that.
The crowd were very receptive to every song. I enjoyed the new material.
Couldn’t complain about the price of the tickets 49 quid.
have to agree about your comments about Rick at the Royal Festival Hall, I thought it was a good concert but way too short. We were outside on the balcony at about 9 o’clock. Rick seems to be doing a little as he can get away with. I am a massive Rick wakeman fan by the way, but I was so glad I didn’t go to O2 academy gig, awful venue and from what I saw on the clips , terrible and again short concert.
You can never accuse YES of short changing the audience in playing time.
Given that we are still living with the pandemic , and the cost of fuel is going through the roof, I thought if I don’t see them now, I may never get another chance.
