Present, accounted for, and think I'm the youngest here. And I'm 43.

One of those is not like the others.
ETA: Just looked them up on Youtube. Oh wow, they're playing lots of the great 70's stuff. Meanwhile, the "real" Yes (Howe, White, and Squire, before he died) is doing the same thing. Still the most dysfunctional band ever.
That said, Jon was always the heart and soul, and I'd love to see him again. It was arguably shitty that the rest of Yes decided to tour a few years ago when Jon couldn't due to respiratory problems. Maybe he'll do "Tony and Me" from his solo show. Fun autobiographical song, with some cool stories. And if you've never heard his solo album "Olias of Sunhillow", you should give it a try.

Going tomorrow night in San Antonio.

Not even in the running. Yes are a 40+ year ongoing soap opera.
I just googled /yes history band soap opera/, and I found a Rolling Stone article that barely skims the surface of it. Yes is the longest running soap opera in prog rock history
Here's another funny:
The history of Yes has often felt like a soap opera and akin to watching a car crash but the best bits of their repertoire will always reign supreme.
Lots more hits for that google search.

I just got home from The Saenger. Great show.
Heart Of The Sunrise was incredible.

Just got back.
To me, the Anderson/Wakeman duo of "The Meeting" was tops. I am partial though, as I have stated many times in the vinyl thread, that the 1989 album "Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, & Howe" is one of my "top 10 take to a deserted island" albums.
Jon's voice is so unique--and he still can hold a tune.
It was a pretty good show, considering I too was one of the younger ones in the crowd at 44...!!--most sat the entire show (which was kinda nice).

Anderson did give a warm shoutout to his lost brother Chris Squire--I guess he may now see that all the crap over the years cost him some good times with his now dead old friend and band mate...said he was the best bass player on the planet (and there would be a strong argument for that statement too).

It does have a sort of legal ring to it, eh?

It was a great show and I've been a fan for 40 years, but my attention span for multiple 10 to 15 minutes songs isn't what it used to be.

Awesome show! Really enjoyed them more than the other yes tour with steve howe. If its not the real jon Anderson, than its just karaoke!

Great show in San Antonio Saturday night. Lots of energy on stage.
Really loud-wish I would have brought my earplugs.
There were a good amount of younger fans too-good to see.
Jon sounded great.
I missed the guitar nuances of Howe but Rabin brought a little more rock 'n roll to the music.
Rick was Rick but I wish he would have had more solos.

I saw the Nashville show a week ago, purely amazing. Jon's voice was in top shape.
