Although I love Yes I’ve always preferred Genesis as my prog band of choice (though not for musicianship). Having seen Genesis a few times however they never came close to the Yes gig. The show, the sound and how they got that many musicians to play as a tight unit was amazing.You’ll need 3 hours spare though ;-)
I do remember that NEC in the round show being fabulous though. It was my first time seeing them all together. I’d missed out on 9012Live, and Big Generator tour never came to Europe, though I think I saw ABWH at the NEC a year or two before this. That was decent, but not as good as seeing all of them together playing the new and the classic material.
Was at Steve Hackett last Wednesday! Probably the best gig I’ve seen … since I last saw him ;-)Although I love Yes I’ve always preferred Genesis as my prog band of choice (though not for musicianship).

I was watching 10cc the same night in Wolverhampton. They had a slide show at the start showing their history and up popped a City team photo (obviously the link with the Boys in Blue recording). It was a great show but I would have traded places for the Hackett gigWas at Steve Hackett last Wednesday! Probably the best gig I’ve seen … since I last saw him ;-)
Big Generator springs to mind, will have a rummage around...Fair comment pal.
Just out of interest what years/era do you mean when you say ‘later albums’?
My favourites gig was Yes at Kings Hall Bellevue in 1972, at the time I was playing in a Prog style band at the time and we all went to the gig ...after we watched them we felt like giving up, the standard of musicianship was off the scale.Was at Steve Hackett last Wednesday!
