The universe seems to not want me to see Yes.

My first missed Yes tour was when the roof of Kansas City’s Kemper Arena caved in a few days before the concert. Then there was another tour’s appearance that was cancelled when Jon Anderson had breathing problems. Then there was an appearance I missed due to Chris’s blood clot.

But I have seen them 3 times now, the last time with Oliver Wakeman on keyboards and Benoit David on vocals. I went all out with the meet & greet and my seat was front row center. Oh, and Asia was the opening act. GREAT CONCERT!!!

Great band that’s changed over the years, but it was never “right” without both Chris and Jon in the band. I liked AWBH and the JA-less Yes, but I LOVE the combination of the two.

I remember that, I missed it too.

I had the pleasure of meeting Steve Howe on the first Asia tour (day before the played at Starlight in KC) and Rick Wakeman on a tour with his son (in Seattle). And got to laugh at Alan White when security demanded his ID to get in at that show. Alan saying, "Hey, don't you know who I am !?"
