Maybe I'll try to catch the Connecticut show. It'd be wild to see Yes live, but the videos I've seen of them play live recently haven't been so good...

This actually puts me off.  If I see them, I would go to the Reno show, where they will be performing only the Yes Album and Close to the Edge.  Having seen them half a dozen times before, the only song from these albums I have not seen them perform is A Venture.  Now, if they do a 30-minute version of it, I might be tempted, but I don't find that likely.  I love their music, and they are one of my favorite bands ever, but I would like to see them do something new and/or different.  This sounds like yet another classic Yes concert set.  A great set, especially for those having never seen them before, but for me, it is just the same old same old.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Yes won't do Fragile, because it has this solo pieces and only Steve and Chris are still in the band.

I saw the Union tour which, despite the accompanying album, was simply amazing. I have no intention of seeing any of the recent mash-up lines ruin the image for me.

Four shows were fulfilling enough for me:

San Francisco, March 1972, opening for Black Sabbath (!) Wow
90125 Tour, Salt Lake City
Union Tour, Salt Lake City
Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, Portland, 1990

Would like to have seen Fly from Here Tour, but they didn't come to "my" town. Too bad; could have been a free gig as an old family friend from Australia is now Mrs Squire.

RIP, Yes

West Wendover (puke) All the has-beens appear there: Grand Funk without Mark and Mel; Stylistics without Russell Tompkins, Jr and on and on. I hear they've even booked the Dave Clark Two Smile.

didn't see this till just now, definitely trying to go to the SF one. Going For The one isn't my favorite Yes album but seeing all of The Yes Album and Close To The Edge would be ridiculous

I've seen more sagacious banter on lowbrow "Fug'n A, Dude" heavy metal sites. Au revoir, "gentlemen."

I'm not gonna see them until Jon Anderson (and in preferrance Rick Wakeman) comes back.
This is the worst Yes lineup ever.

Then you won't be seeing them at all 'geneyesontle'. I have seen Jon live solo several time now, including the last show from the front row. Jon is simply too frail to tour the way Yes does. And he does not have the vigor or energy to front the band in a full live show. Jon is great, he is Yes to me. But, he simply is not in a physical state where we could take even a vigorous 90 minute show night after night.
