My band and I drove all the way down to Tucson to see Yes open for . . . wait for it . . .

Black Sabbath.

In fact, we weren’t even going to see Yes, but our jaws dropped. Black Sabbath came out and were like infants compared to the musicianship that had just left the stage.

Same happened when Van Halen opened for Sabbath. This is why Peter Grant decided Zeppelin wouldn't have any acts opening for them, after Grand Funk Railroad blew them off the stage.

I saw Yes 3 times back in the day, once “in the round”.

Amazing.
