I had the privilege of attending the final show of the UK leg of this tour at Gateshead, having been unable to make the earlier show in Oxford.
The set list was amazing starting with Close To The Edge and ending with Roundabout.
This iteration of 'Yes' are note perfect for early Yes classics, as well as a couple of tracks from Jon Andersons' True album.
I closed my eyes and was taken back to the late 1970's with songs 'And You And I' and 'Awaken' and of course 'Starship Trooper'
Jon Andersons voice is in top form for an octogenarian!
I highly recommend listening to the live album this band put out last year 'Perpetual Change' and you'll hear for yourself!
