I'm not bidding, but, hey, Pete, forget about buying Dane's 4001CS8 and pick this up instead for that truly authentic stage experience!

I remember the first time seeing Yes, at Winterland arena, San Francisco, around that time. It was after the Close to the Edge release and before the Topographic Oceans release. Those were the days !

I saw them the year before at Winterland, right after Fragile.

Hmmm...You think they'd have waited till after Chris had passed away to start selling things he had probably thought they'd cherish and keep.

There is the velveteen Tailcost and vest. He wore it during the Ten true Summers long tour. First time I saw them Live. So impressed I bought my top coat with tails.. not so much fun to play in under stage lighting.. Nice Stain on the right Lapel.. beer..sweat? Who knows.. Cant imagine anyone buying any of this stuff.

If I had the money, I would buy the green jacket. Just too cool.

But at those prices, I would need them to add the used socks to stand a chance!

Hi Jim,
Been really busy so only just spotted the post.
The auction was in Stockport!!
Just 6 miles away.
Oh well,
I dont think I could get away with buying a £2000 shirt!
I only just got away with buying a £2000 bass.

Going to see Steve Howe doing a solo gig on Sunday at Leicester by the way.
Full report next week.

Pete.
