I saw Yes yesterday night in Bonn/Germany. With Rick Wakeman at the keyboards, they played mostly the classic tunes. They were in great form - a fun concert. I was somewhat disappointed though that Wakeman didn't use Mellotron sounds. I wouldn't have expected to see a real Tron on stage but at least he could have used a sampler to play the original sounds. Instead he used synthesized sounds that were close, but only close, to Tron sounds. To me, the Mellotron strings are an integral part of the magic of the classic Yes material. Rick Wakeman doesn't seem to feel the same way. Oh well. Now I'm looking forward to see the Musical Box who'll come to Germany in October. -Michael (# 000)
