From the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_%28band%29 - CREAM's Wikipedia page (trivia):
 
  • The newly formed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_%28band%29 - Yes opened for Cream at Cream's farewell concerts in 1968.
  • Are there any kind of documentation, facts or memories from that performance of YES at Albert Hall in 1968? At least CREAM's chaotic part was filmed!

     I saw Yes at Kingston Poly (a few weeks after The Yes Album was released) and apparently  according to a biography Queen were the support band - but I have no recollection of Queen being thereGeek. Quite vivid recollection of Yes though

    Queen did open for Yes on a few occasion, but I think it was in the pre-queen period (called Smile at the time) that it actually happen ed, for I can't remember any show of Queen with Freddie to ever have done that. Though there is a large gap between 1970 and 1973 in which they (Queen) were playing and performing, so it's not impossible.
     
    the year was 1971, so it ísn't impossible that Queen was one of the suport acts (though highly unlickely).
