You just have to LOVE JON - only 12 months after his near death door illness he pops on stage at the ROBIN for around 500 loyal fans - the people we were next too came up to Birmingham from London.
 
So we had JON, piano, guitar and other strange instruments - plus the audience offering backing vocals because at times he forgot the words (well start of Revealing Science of God can be a mouth full).  We had solo stuff (Olias etc), Vangelis stuff and loads of YES stuff - heaven
 
2 encores - Roundabout for the first - then Soon for the second - and it was just JON on stage - no support act or anything else - just a show which was in 2 halfs and they were great
 
Seen ASIA this year (OK) - have YES in Birmingham later this year (Excited) - seen Rick outside Hampton Court  (VIP Tickets - and amazing) but Jon was just as good

Now that he's back on tour I bet that he's pissed at Yes for dropping him.

Nah.....don't buy that. These guys are getting on and are in their mid sixties now so I would imagine JA is enjoying a less intense schedule

Just realised that the initials JA are the German word for Yes.  Smile
