I agree that Steve Howes band is no match for these guys, however I don't think it's fair to say they're not good musicians. I'm not really sure what the problem with that band is but there's definitely something off. If I was going to guess the only actual band member is Steve and everyone else is simply a paid side man. It's not a real partnership or meeting of mines it's one guy in charge. Not that that's much different from a lot of fans. I get the feeling Jon is treating these guys as equals and they're probably not just paid sidemen

As good a brand of Yes as anything in a long time. Howe can't play with the same speed and dexterity as he did in his younger days, and the band was slowing the tempo as a result. Age does that to us all. It's nice hearing the songs at their original pace. It's also great hearing someone play bass with Squire's original style - it wouldn't be the same without Squire's thunder. The magic keyboardists' ridiculous fingers are amazing. Amazingly faithful, solid drumming. And of course Anderson is unaffected by time. Whatever it is out there calling itself Yes - they are not yes. They are the ghosts of yes. The sound of yes is onstage here - with Anderson and the amazing geeks.
