Snow on the hills on a cold, cold day...


Later, horrible and wet as I met up with Dr Prog at Quattro Zero for a tasty tea, before we walked through the rain to the Usher Hall...

Front row seats in the Grand Circle for this at "just" £82.50 a pop...


It better be good...




Fanboys down the front...


We did not see the programmes and T Shirts...


Spotted but could not make contact with old chum Paul Reynolds, seen here on the left...


I had wanted it to be good - and it was good - but it wasn't Yes, despite the presence of Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman, whom Rick Wakeman recently stupidly referred to as "the holy trinity of Yes" (that would, of course, be Anderson, Howe and Squire)...

















A superb setlist and top notch playing from all concerned - Molino III and Pomeroy on drums and bass respectively were excellent and it only goes to prove that you don't need to be Yes to play Yes music...

Pomeroy, Take That's go to bass player, performed a brilliant bass solo which would have made Mr Squire proud...

Au revoir to Dr Prog and home in the wind and rain just before midnight...

A good night indeed...

Highlight of the Day : Yes not Yes...
