I just found the ticket from this. The gig was fab and imagine my surprise when Rick Wakeman appeared (I didn't realise that Tony Kaye had left). I'd seen Rick earlier that year in Portsmouth with the Strawbs and was knocked out by his performance. Somehow I reckon he was more suited to Yes. I don't recall the full setlist but I know they played the Big Numbers - Roundabout, Close to the Edge and Yours is no disgrace amongst many others.

Jonathan Swift was a stalwart of the support act community. I don't recall much about his act but he did a good job of kicking the evening off.
