In the context of seeing Yes in their heyday in the 70s:The vocalist in this lineup disappointed me - I felt trying to imitate Jon Anderson but came across to me as a bit wailing, plus, it was amplified too high against the instrumentation. I thought the vocalist who played at the Royal Albert Hall in May 2014 was better. I though the bass sounded a little distorted in places, and although the bassist was a great player, I felt that the band were very less Yes without Chris Squire. Having said that, Starship Trouper to finish off was probably the best version I'd heard - a great extended guitar finish from Steve Howe. Roundabout, And You And I, and sides 1 & 4 from Tales were all pretty damed good.

Superb performance, particularly enjoyed “Yours is no disgrace” and Starship trooper”, 2 of my favourite songs. Steve Howe amazing as ever, what a guitarist. The lighting and sound were excellent. Brighton Centre is a good venue with plenty of space to move around. Bit taken aback by price of “programme” at £25 but it is actually more of a book than a programme and actually not bad price for what it is, a very substantial book.
