I've seen Yes a few times but this was a first with the classic line-up and the best, one of the best, possibly the best show I've ever seen. The small crowd made for an intimate experience and I've never seen any band this chilled. The crowd doesn't look that interested but Yes is a cerebral experience and this crowd was tuned in. And what a crowd, Elvises, guys in naked suits, fashion police and the next generation, a kid on someone's shoulders really into it... and proper, exceptional Yes!
One of the main reasons Yes is one of my all-time favorite bands is definitely because during their greatest era, and most other eras, their solid lineup of musicians have all been virtuosos at their instrument, including Jon. I mean, Wakeman, Bruford (White is great, too), Anderson, Howe, and Squire?!?!?! Its amazing the music they make......
This is like my favorite Yes song they are just standing there like omg this music is too technical for my feeble mind, except for that one kid on someones shoulders he gets it he must be a genius.
I wonder if they ever had a Stadiums tour. I know they have played stadiums before, but I wonder if they ever went for the big money like other bands like Genesis, U2, the Stones and so on.
I saw them twice at the Madison Square Garden in New York City. They played three nights straight and I had two tickets for two nights seating Floor 11th row from the stage and 2nd night 16th row from the stage. Awesome is what I can describe it. It was the Going for One tour. They had a revolving stage and the Garden was packed. Over 20,000 people. I also saw Led Zeppelin there for one night. Also another epic concert after the release of Physical Graffiti Tour.
On teh relayer Tour in 1974 or 1975 they played some stadiums. The most notable was JFK stadium in Philadelphia (where the American version of Live-Aid was later held) and they drew over 100,000.
Get out of here! Wow! 100.000?! . I wouldn't mind being in my fifties now (not that there's anything wrong with being fity), if I would had had the opportunity to see Yes and Genesis in their prime. First time I saw them was with the Big Generation and Invisible Touch tours... :7(
They always play the Firebird ending before every show. I saw them for the first time in 1978, and then for their 35th anniversary, and that was what was played...hmmmm interesting! :P
I was at this gig, it was amazing, trust me (grown men crying and all that). At first the crowd was fairly thin, so I got a good spot near the front. By the end, I turned round and the field was full, and the band got a fantastic reception, rightly so - of course! Even Wakeman looked like he was enjoying it! To see Yes play at Glastonbury was, for me, so special - it was perfect. And this year I got to see Neil Young play there as well! Wonderful. Thanks so much for posting these...
Very strange that Steve plays the intro so slow...the re-intro also. I don't get it. It should RIP!!!! He played it a lot more aggressively on this last "In The Present" tour.
I don't know why everyone thinks I filmed this myself...it's a pretty well known bootleg that I obtained via bittorrent. And yes, the person that recorded it obviously was not very familiar with Yes. In this entire show there's maybe 5 mins of solid Steve Howe footage...very disappointing. But I'm trying to upload everything I have, and some people do appreciate it.
Awesome! Any more of this performance? They went down really well at Glasto according to my friend Alice who saw them (but not according to the NME - like their opinion matters).
Hope I can catch 'em on the tour that will (hopefully) be happening this year.

@RufiRufian Patrick Moraz was definitely a good replacement for Wakeman, in my opinion. Relayer is amazing, and the keyboard parts are great.

It is 15/8, at least for the intro (3 bars of 4, one of 3). The rest of the song is in 4 except when the intro theme is repeated.
