I looked on Yesworld and didn't see the pens, but I did see a missed opportunity.
The "Yes Incense" would be even better if it was called "The Odor of the Universe".

Having watched a few vids on y-t of Yes' current tour- I have to reluctantly say that some of the videos have been less than encouraging- Some of tracks start ok but they seem to lack energy and there are still some tempo challenges.- I would think that having JA singing with the current Yes would probably make them sound much better- no disrespect to JD- he does an admirable job- whilst his voice is fairly close, it isn't JA, who despite his age, is sounding remarkable! Jay has also helped with the energy and tempos to some extent, - but I must draw the difficult comparison to AWR- and how much better they were,. The y-t videos do seem to suggest that Yes have improved as they have played more shows- but then that tells me there wasnt enough rehearsing.-

It's because of being caught up in the excitement of the moment, particularly since none of us have experienced the band live for three years. Contrary to many of you, I'm of the opinion that "the videos don't lie," - and I'm a fan of the current band.
I've noticed this phenomenon in person at shows. When I've closed my eyes and just listened, I've realized that sometimes the band is playing much slower or not as good as I thought. And it isn't just Yes, I noticed that with ARW, too. In general, they played a little quicker than YesO, but not always, some of their songs plodded along, too.

I think that the concert is as others have stated an immersive experience. I was so glad I went, first ever concert on my own with out wife or friends, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
There is a big disconnect between videos of the concert and the reality of being there, a phone ban was in place and that was good to see, enjoy the concert, listen to the incredible sounds, watch individual members of the band. Also the atmosphere at Symphony Hall was incredible, it is a wonderful venue and acoustically one of the best in the UK.
