Featured Review

Purchasing the YES MEET AND GREET PACKAGE was a very wise decision along with the fact that it didn't rain. The whole ambiance of the show was great from the time I spent inside the venue pre-show. The workers were nice and friendly to talk with. ASIA sounded fantastic and it was hard to believe they formed twenty-something odd years ago. John's vocals were clear and controlled and Steve Howe's virtuosity continued to shine through each song, playing chordal rhythms with ease and fluidity. I feel that in the 55 minutes or so that the band played, they had chosen their set judiciously.

YES in one word was OUTSTANDING! The individual talant is a human wonder in itself. Benoit did an excellent job filling in for Jon Anderson and I must say, a very nice fellow backstage as well, very personable and candid. I enjoyed speaking with him and let him know it was a nice gesture for him to wear a Pittsburgh Penguin shirt for the encore Starship Trooper, a fan favorite selection. Allan White's drum solo was crisp and tight, Chris Squire's melody lines were a gift to my ears and Oliver Wakeman is a chip off the old block (refering to his father Rick). Oliver states that his dad is doing fine. Steve has been my personal influence for 35 plus years and his technical skills are better than ever, tight melodic lines, amazing Fender pedal work and untouchable acoustic power.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DOUBLE BILLED NIGHT! THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED FOR MAKING THIS COME TO FRUITION.

I have seen YES many times and they were great as usual. I enjoyed hearing the material from the DRAMA period. They really rocked on those Tunes. Chris Squires bass always sounds pretty amazing although I thought It was a bit loud last eve. They may have had a few moments when the mix was alittle off but it is YES and you expect it to be well..perfect
Steve Howe was great as always as was Alan and the new singer feels like he has been there awhile already. I love Jon of course but the show must go on.
Asia was a surprise..John Wetten was in really great voice and It was great to see Jeff Downs on stage w/ Steve again. Carl Palmer was the groups showman and he played an empressive drum solo..great lighting as well. I forgot that Asia had some catchy stuff.
It was interesting that Steve Howe has such a different sound and approach with each band. He plays great and he played alot for a guy 62Yrs old. Play on ASIA Play on YES

Both bands played excelently but I'm not a fan of rotating stages.Seeing things that the audience should'nt see.Where I sat my section saw only the back of the band Yes for the entire song "Roundabout",their biggest hit !!!
Chris Squire"s bass rig was overpowering the inadequit house PA and there were some feedback issues.
Great performances were sadly diminished.

Yes is one of the best bands that ever made music. They have such a chemistry together. Benoit David is almost Jon Anderson...great job! Oliver Wakeman was taught well by his dad...excellent! Chris Squire, of course, is THE MAN on bass. There is no better. Howe and White go without saying...phenomenal as always.
Great sound, great set list, could've played longer, a couple more hours, but what else is new.
Anybody who knows and appreciates real music needs to see these guys.

I've seen Yes before, and this time around they were even better. Benoit David sounds exactly like Jon Anderson, although his dance moves are questionable. What really impressed me though was Asia. I've never really been a fan, but they blew me away, especially with their cover of "In the Court." Carl Palmer's drumming is incredible and rocked the house.

Show was great, venue was excellent. Both bands sounded great and did some great tunes from their albums. I liked the fact that I was able to slip down the isle during the show and get some excellent close up pictures of the band. They both still got it. One thing I found strange was the fact you couldn't bring your drink back to your seat, at the prices these places charge for shows you should be able to at least drink at your seat, especially when it's a hundred degrees under a tent. Had a good time all around.

I knew I would love this night at the Music Circus, but I had no idea how much. Asia opened with such grace & power that I had tears in my eyes for at least half an hour. Each performer contributed much more than I ever expected and made that amazing hour something very, very special. I began to wonder how Yes could follow! But, of course, they could. There was true magic in the night~

First off the facility in Cohasset is the best to see a band in. Not a bad seat in the house. The only downside is perhaps the parking which is stacked and can take time to get out of the lot. Now on to the show. Asia was absolutely amazing. Carl Palmer is perhaps the best drummer in the world and the rotating stage gave you veiws that you will not see in any other facility. Asia was right on. What can one say about Steve Howe! This man makes playing the guitar look so effortless. Yes was exceptional as well even without Jon Anderson. The fill in lead singer and keyboard player filled in quite nicely.

This concert was a gift to my husband for Father's Day. We live on the North Shore of MA. It was well worth the trip. Both bands sounded as good as they did 25 years ago. They still have it. My husband was so thrilled to get this as gift. It made his Father's Day and his night after seeing them. Thanks for bringing these groups here.

In squeezing this concert before heading to N.Y. for the Hall of Fame ceremony the next afternoon, I was disappointed in the Yes show, as it seemed as though the last 20-plus years of the band were virtually ignored through their setlist. While I know there is an incredible following for their music from the 1960s and 1970s, it seemed as though that portion of their history was so much more represented by their song selection. Having seen Yes three times before, this was the most average of those shows, and while the lead singer replacing Jon Anderson wasn't a disappointment, he still couldn't match the pipes of Anderson.
While I might want to see Asia again the next time they perform in the area, I think I've come to the conclusion that Yes as a performing band has passed its time, and there are always DVDs and CDs to make me remember the more glorious years. I was hoping for Changes to be played live from the 90125 album, but was sadly disappointed. At least Asia did perform Sole Survivor, my favorite song, even if it isn't a crowd favorite.

Although Jon Anderson was sorely missed, the current lead singer for YES was amazing. Close your eyes and you can't tell the difference in the voices. If you're a big YES fan, you won't regret this show one bit.

Asia was just as awesome - this show was worth every single penny. Thanks so much to the YES and Asia guys - you rock.

We attended to mainly see ASIA. They were brilliant and the performances rocked the house. I could happily have watched them for another two hours. However, YES came on as the prime act, but from the start it was going to be a trial in some parts. The BASS was WAAAAYYY to loud, my ears were going numb within the first ten minutes. Because of the heavy bass and frequent squeals of feedback, the singing and playing quickly became unintelligible. I would definitely pay to see ASIA again - probably several times - at a full concert, but would probably give YES a miss...
Thanks

The double billing of Asia and Yes for sure was a cool bill for aging prog rockers like me. Overall the musicianship was outstanding as would be expected. For Steve Howe in particular, his performances in both bands were wonderful - although he did come in a bit early in a section of "Heart of the Sunrise". It was really nice to see that he is human as his guitar playing was quite fantastic for the rest of the night.

The Yes part of the show was an interesting night . The song choices were somewhat unusual as there were two songs performed from the Drama album - Tempest Fugit and Machine Messiah. These were a big surprise and actually were quite fun to hear. Astral Traveler from the Peter Banks era was also a surprise. The real issue for me was the sound. On this night it appeared that the stage volume of the bass in particular was way too loud and overwhelmed the house mix. This resulted in the vocals being too soft in the mix. There was also an annoying feedback issue that went on through most of the night. It was unfortunate as the music was great and even the performances of Benoit as Jon Anderson's replacement and Oliver Wakemen were really good. The wakeman keyboard solo on Starship Trooper was great to hear. Very enjoyable.

Asia on the otherhand did not suffer from the same sound issues. They sounded really good. John Wetton was in great voice and I had forgotten how good a bass player he is even when singing. This band played like they had something to prove. They were tight (except for a section of the acoustic version of "Don't Cry") and had what seemed a genuine want to please the audience. They also played songs from each of the individual members other bands - ELP's Fanfare for the Common Man, The Buggle's Video Killed the Radio Star, and King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King. The setlist for the most part was like a parade of their hits and the performance of Fanfare for the Common Man gave all the musicians a chance to show off, but Carl Palmer was just amazing. His energy level along with his technical skill was so fun to watch. I was absolutely surprised at how enjoyable the Asia set was for me.
