NoteAs I recall, Jon's wife ("my beautiful, wonderful Janie") had a seat mix-up with an audience member. She always sits front row center at most every Yes show, and somehow the venue had sold her seat to a lay person. They haggled with this for the first song or 2, which distracted Jon a bit (he kept looking down to see what the commotion with Janie was about), but apparently Janie was very cordial - and they worked it out amiably.

The show itself is a good one. Gates is unquestionably the highlight. As they were bringing the chaos-tension to a peak (with all the band and orchestra strumming and banging dissonance), and preparing to move into the Victory March, I vividly remember sitting there gripping my chair in the 15th row and thinking "My GOD, I have never heard Gates this overwhelming before." ... victory march release ... groove .. ahhhhhhh!

There is a bit too much of Chris' bass in there, and the orchestra is buried quite often (common to many of the ampitheatre symphonic shows). But very fun show.
