    Comments: This came out very nice. I had seen the band Umphrey's McGee three
    times in this theater, and each time I thought the venue acoustics sucked. I
    was wrong, as this show sounded very good from where I was sitting, about 13
    rows back left center. The sound got better a few songs in (usual for a Yes
    concert). The first few songs seemed to lack energy to me, but things got
    going around "Yours Is No Disgrace" and stayed energetic from there. I had quiet
    people sitting on either side of me, so there's not too much crowd noise. My
    only complaint is the setlist. Only two numbers (not counting Steve's solo)
    that they didn't play the last two times I saw them in 2008 & 2009. That's a
    long time to be playing the same set. But what they did play was good. This
    was an enjoyable evening.
