YES at THE ROYAL CONCERT HALL GLASGOW

Drama was one my favourite Yes albums , one that gave them longevity when it looked they may disappear into a lost haze of 70s music without making the jump into being a current progressive band with life into the 80s and beyond.

This is Machine Messiah from the opening concert of the European Tour


I read in a biography nearly 30 years ago they always meant to do an extended version of "White Car" but never got round to it , in the concert they stuck to the original enigmatic 80 second version.

HAWKWIND AT THE ABC GLASGOW

Was really impressed , back to their heavy jazz blues with arabesque overtones , no thrills , no gimmicks , no distractions making Dave Brock guitar the centre of attraction.
Also like they never done silver machine which Ive always found a naff song.
The bass player Haz Wheaton was immense.

Check out the jamming on this video:




And as the comment in this video says - what a tune
