Yes, I saw Asia


Tonight we got back into the concert mode and went to see the 80's rock groups, Asia and Yes.
It would be hard for me to just rattle off their hits, but listening to classic rock stations, you would smile at each song when played.  Both bands have guys older than me playing as good as when they started.  Asia's keyboard player played 9 keyboards!  He stood in a "U' shaped set up with 3 tiers of keyboards and in some songs it looked like he used all of them!

Yes is almost Rock Opera type of sounds and lavish intros and riffs.  They play very, very long versions of the 3-1/2 minute radio stuff.

It was cool though and looking at the tour shirts, it seemed weird to read the stops:  Las Vegas, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, Fort Worth, Muskogee....
