Author's Note: A big thank you to everyone who shared photos and videos and impressions on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and the Yesfans discussion forum. Each tour report entry could be considered a work-in-progress as I find more things to add. There is a VOIO of the Hollywood show which I did not include, as I am saving full ROIOs and VOIOs for a later entry, but you can find it on YouTube.

The beginning of week two finds the boys moving in a circle of sorts, geographically-speaking, as they have to return to Florida for a make-up date.

My adorable Rabid Rabinite BFF fiendish_thingy attended the Durham show, and she writes:
Sunday night's show was so joyful! It was obvious that the band was loving playing together. Their energy made the room feel like a big party, and by a few songs in, my face hurt from smiling. I wasn't born yet during most of Trevor's time with Yes, so I never thought I would get to see songs like "Hold On" or "Lift Me Up" played live. It was basically my dream setlist to see these favorites of mine performed alongside the "classic Yes" songs I also love. Each song came off differently from the record version, which was part of the beauty of the show. Songs I've heard a hundred times were new for a moment. Sunday's version of "Awaken" felt downright spooky, "Rhythm of Love" had a honky-tonk flare, and "Owner of a Lonely Heart" - what do I say but KEYTAR! I was lucky enough to be sitting just a few seats off of the aisle Rick and Trevor decided to go down at the end of "Owner," and I think that it made my life. And I've got to say something about the fashion. Rick's sparkly cape, Jon's adorable suit and totally rad boots, Trevor's pants! I know he has been changing it up from night to night, but on Sunday he was wearing some snazzy gray pants with black panels in the front. Bring your binoculars because the outfits are glorious. I could have sat there for another two hours if they had kept playing, and as soon as the show was over I wanted to go again. It was really a special show for me and for my mom who went with me, getting to see some of our very favorite musicians having a great time together and them letting us in on the fun.
