_____________________________________________________________

Author's Note: A big thank you to everyone who shared photos and videos and impressions on Facebook, 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.

In week nine those of us in the States got the last chance to experience this celebration of Yes music until next summer, hopefully! But on a disappointing note, due to Trevor's illness the songs which featured him on lead vocals were cut from the setlist for two dates. "The Meeting" was also dropped for all dates this week.

San Jose
After four days of rest, Trevor let us all know he was GO for San Jose!

look forward to show tomorrow night

Why YES! Actually #ARW, #jonanderson, #trevorrabin, #rickwakeman, original members of Yes, US Tour. #pdx. Life is better with a fantastic concert. #40notes #innerrocker chick🙀. #70srock, #roundabout, #psychedelicalbumcovers. Remember it from the first time around. Patchouli Musk, anyone 🙃.

Why spend a fortune on cold cures when none of them work ? How gullible we are. The only way to get rid of it is to give it to someone else

Anaheim

Saw #andersonwakemanrabin with dad tonight. A few months ago we saw #yes at the same venue. This lineup has more "original" members. Both shows were amazing but I don't think this one can be topped. 8th Yes concert in 22 years.

Indio
I spotted a similar billboard advertising the Indio show while on my way home from the Los Angeles show, driving on Interstate 10.
