Theater in the round in Madison Square Garden, in the rain in Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, Boston, Philly, DC, you name it.
We would hitchhike to concerts. Beg and borrow to buy tickets. Yes tours were an obsession.

They are the greatest rock band in history, hands down. The talent level by each member was unsurpassed.
My new hobby of trying to learn the keyboard was inspired by Rick Wakeman.

While Roundabout was perhps their most widely known commercial hit, their repertoire was far more than just that.
"Tales from Topographic Oceans" was incredible.
"Close to the Edge" inspired me to reproduce the album cover on an entire wall in my bedroom!!
The 2 album live "Yessongs" is an iconic record that I still listen to today. Their live work brings back many fond memories.

Thanks for sharing. As my best buddy in high shcool, Kenny Mac, would say (as we were tripping on windowpane) ..

YES IS THE BEST!!!!!
