Great show! Appeared to be sold out.
Band was energized. I thought the segment of Onward - Madrigal - Soon was special as there were references to Chris and then John Lodge who had just recently passed. Jon (son in law of John Lodge) really put his heart into Soon and everyone felt it. And it only got better after that.
Steve was amazing. We were on his side in the 7th row. I'm so glad we got to see him. The Fragile set was splendid, all building up to the crescendo of Heart of the Sunrise.
The crowd was on their feet for the encore. The Beatles song was fun and Starship Trooper was...a great song played greatly.
Somewhere in there was a delicious Billy Sherwood bass solo (probably the Fish, I don't remember). He has a great tone and Chris would be proud.
The Roger Dean visuals really made the whole show quite special. It was like Art-rock, or maybe prog-rock :) In 2025 the world needs prog-rock and Yes music. The two people I saw who appeared to be under 30 years old seemed to be having a blast. I know we did.
