Of course, Squire, Howe & White could have avoided all this had they simply waited for Jon to GET BETTER- which given his own touring recently has clearly happened. Wait for your singer of 40 years to recover enough to do some scaled back touring or hire a cat from a Yes tribute band, cut a sequel to "Drama" 30 years after the fact with Horn producing, and Horn-Downes compositions making up the vast bulk of the album, and suffer through four years of up and down quality touring like this.... hmm
I was there, at the front proably some meters to the right of you but I simply had to leave... Benoit was way, way out of tune... Don't know if it was a case of bad monitoring but the fact is quite clear as this clip shows - he is singing in a quite dfferent key than the band...

The most painful document of their demise yet. It's truly sad.

They are just making room for Trevor Horn.

It seems like the singer is sick, that may explain why his vocals are so bad on this.

Benoit's band and Chris and Geoff need to visit a Salad Bar once in awhile.

Band was awesome, but my god, the vocals were horrifyingly bad. It's hard not to scream for Anderson when listening to this.

Benoit is a very good tambourine player, though! -Seriously.

I guess I won't be seeing Yes live until they replace Benoit.

Fantastic band - the VOCALIST Benoit was, let me put it positive, a catastrophe! In doubt, listen to this fine recording!

Yes. I do agree, but the rest of the band is fantastic. I sang myself to make myself heard above the disaster ;)
