A couple of months ago I purchased two tickets to see YES, a band I have seen several times in my life time. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them once again, for the first time in Madison and was very impressed with musicianship of the older members of the band. I missed Jon Anderson but the new guy sounds enough like him to make it sound good. I would say more than half of the audience was older then me but seeing that two of the members of the band are as old as my parents, it makes sense. It was kind of cool seeing young kids there. Although I did not discover them until the 80's, their music from the 70's is what distinguishes them more, I believe. They played everything from Fragile (1971) and Close to the Edge (1972), a couple of new hits and closed with a few of their bigger hits, ending the show with "Owner of a Lonely Heart", their biggest commercial hit.
