I saw this tour for my 14th birthday present from dad. I wasnt as excited because it was the 90125 lineup but holy shit did they smoke that night! Tony seems to have stepped up on this tour.
@DarkeningSkies1 I agree. At least, after 20 odd years, Tony got to play this tune HIS way finally. I don't know for sure but I suspect this was one of the songs that led to his bust up with Steve Howe when the band was working on what would become 'Fragile'. Howe had insisted, with support from Anderson and Squire, that Kaye start using more Moog and Mellotron in Yes compositions along with his usual hammond and piano. When Kaye refused, we all know what happened after that.
This is amazing sound/picture for a "bootleg"- was it filmed for South American T.V. perhaps?
And indeed Jon was a tad portly- he had suffered an accident shortly before this tour and a recovery period where he packed on some extra weight (his stage clothes at the time tended towards cape-y/flowy things, even on the appearance this line-up did on David Letterman), if I recall correctly but I don't remember the details of said accident...
Wow Thanks to devoutyesfan for the awesome footage. Great sound quality!

Nice to hear the roar of Kaye's Hammond B-3 Organ sound in the background- reminders of the original 1968-1971 Yes! ;)
