Title: Yes / Asia concert tonight!
Post by: BadCat on July 09, 2009, 02:37:37 PM: Yes was coming to Phoenix last December. I was really happy to get third row seats. Then they canceled the concert.

So, now they're back with the original lineup of Asia. This time I have second row seats.

Great show. No Bruford. Original members Howe, Squire and White.

Rick Wakeman's son, Oliver played keyboards, he was very good.

Vocals were by a guy name Benoit David. Man, he nailed Jon Anderson's voice, 99.8% perfect.

There were a LOT of folks there that probably saw them 30 years ago, and were STILL really tore up.
This fat, 65 or so year old, VERY ****ed up hippie chick tried to climb up on the stage.
