Yes - 2024-05-21 - Rokhal, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg

All post 2000 Yes concerts I saw had their issues: lousy sound, slowed down songs or sloppy playing (sometimes in combination). None of these tonight! Tight playing and a phantastic sound. The cost for this seems to be the absense of any 70s members besides Steve Howe - well, evidently You can't have both...

They started very abruptly: light off, music on - so I missed a few seconds of the tape intro. And, due to bad decisions, I had to change batteries during Steve's 'Tales'-announcement. I patched both of these small gaps using minimax's nice recording from Moenchengladbach. Thanks hereby!
