YES at the CLYDE AUDITORIUM

Always had an ambition to see my favourite 100 songs ever performed live ( not that you can ever make such a list) , but i never thought that "Close To The Edge" , "Siberian Khatru" and "Awaken" would ever be added to that list tonight.

This review gets most thing of the evening right , though i found the sound excellent.

"This current Yes tour intrigued me though and I thought it was about time I immersed myself in an evening of Yessong. The set tonight, and on this current jaunt, is made up of three of the band’s best loved albums played in their entirety, namely ‘Close To The Edge’, ‘Going For The One’ and ‘The Yes Album’, a prog fans dream set. The fact that most of the dates sold out completely, well in advance, is testament to the band’s status as one of the giants of prog rock."

The playing of what would be considered some of the most difficult rock songs to perform live was a masterful mix of a fresh jagged sound that all live shows should have with faultless harmony that makes the audience believe playing this kind of stuff is a piece of cake.

Firstly we had the very first time the whole Close To The Edge Album has been performed in its entirity in Glasgow.

Close To The Edge:


Siberian Khatru:


The Going For The One Album had many surprisingly catchy songs which are in their element when done live.



This were finished of with an album made in the heady psychedelic summer of 1970 , at time in which 2/3rds of the audience was not even born , which is the best tribute i can think captures the enduring magic of Yes.

After all that they even had time for an Encore version of Roundabout.
