A splendid night by a seemingly quite tired Rick. He seemed to enjoy himself and he played flawlessly, but his age showed
during the banter which all seemed like he read from a script but was quite funny nonetheless. I had the pleasure of
seeing Yes in 2003 and again as ARW in 2018, so this will in all probability be the last gig I got to see with him. And
the great stuff, which was most of the gig, was fantastic. Three of the wives (his best solo 70's album IMO), then a nice
portion of King Arthur (ooh yes, I do like me a portion of that, she said) and ending it all with a piece of Journey.
The Yes medley was nice but I didn't bother to track it up since some instances were quite short. Nice to get The Meeting
thrown in there as a bonus, I did not expect that. I can't quite figure out the transition between The Last Battle and
Merlin so I left that as one track.

I could have done without the Beatles songs though. They did nothing for me and especially the second one seemed to go on
forever. I would have preferred more of his own stuff, but it's a minor Point as most of the gig was simply quite
beautiful.
