This event took place in a small room (capacity 60) above the Avalon Theater. Jon told stories, fielded questions from the audience, and sang and played the guitar. He had no keyboards. The songs were all the familiar versions that he's been doing on his recent solo tours. He was in a great mood ("Welcome to bingo night!" he exclaimed upon first taking the stage), and looked and sounded completely healthy. He spoke on a wide range of topics, including the writing and recording of Awaken, a spiritual experience in Las Vegas in 1977, his re-joining Yes in 1984, working with the kids from the School of Rock, and playing in Argentina with Yes right after the Falklands War.

This is a wonderfully unique show. While his then-current one man tour featured music plus some talking in between songs, this performance flipped that around - much more talking with a smaller number of songs. In addition to his own stories, he also answered some questions from the audience.
