At Cain Park they had two cannons, one on each wing of the stage where they shot the confetti out in two huge bursts into the air during The Yes Album. 8)

Here is a shot of the place (not mine).

The grass area wasn't THAT far back.... :cry: I looked on Youtube for video from the RRHOF interview but only found one 6 minute clip of when Jon Anderson was interviewed.

I noticed even a decade ago how high the action on the RM was. Amazing the action can't be set lower.

Looking forward to Saturday!

Like I said earlier in another post, this place is really tiny. I really wished you could have come here but you are better off Saturday with Irene there with you. 8)

Thanks for the review! I am glad you enjoyed the show.
As far as the use of the Line 6 Variax, nowadays he generally uses that to simulate a 12-string acoustic and the sitar-guitar.

Very cool,Jeffrey! I do love the sound of that Ranney 8 string. Steve Howe IS using a special line 6 amp and pedal to replicate the recorded sounds of his guitars,but still using his trusted reliable axes to play the parts. The line 6 guitar is there to reproduce some of the acoustic,sitar,etc sounds. And not to nitpick but when did early 70's blue eyed prettyboy pop singer John Davidson become Yes's latest vocalist? :twisted:

Thought Squire fans would get a kick out of a picture taken by Paul Boyer of Chris Squire and myself after the August 8th, 2013 show at State Fair Park in Milwaukee, WI. Paul gave Chris a copy of his book and spent quite some time going through it. Before we left the trailer, Paul took this photo of me.
