At around 9:30 I changed into my “Topographic Oceans” T-shirt and we jumped in the car and drove to the Hilton for the Yes concert, which was due to open at 10:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was the last show of the current tour, and I think it is fitting that Lisa and I saw the first one in Seattle, and the last one here in Vegas with Teresa and Derek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had some initial worries that the show would be a reduced 90 minute one due to performance policy restrictions in place at the Hilton theater. However, the newsgroup reported that the previous night’s show was a good 2 hours and 10 minutes, and that the Hilton people were understanding and adaptable. (Apparently the 90 minute limit is a minimum to prevent acts from short-changing the audience…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Derek & Teresa aren’t dedicated fans of the band, but they like good music and can respect and enjoy excellent musicianship when they see it, so I’m pretty sure they had a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The show was pretty much the same as the one we saw earlier in Seattle, except that they dropped the solo numbers and one piece (The Revealing<\/em>) and added an additional encore, Yours Is No Disgrace<\/em>, which frankly I enjoyed more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was after 1:00 am by the time we flopped into bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At around 9:30 I changed into my “Topographic Oceans” T-shirt and we jumped in the car and drove to the Hilton for the Yes concert, which was due to open at 10:30.
