Well,

Tonight's the night! 8)

We're off in a few hours to Miami....full day with the whole family.

I can't wait for my kids to experience this!

A nice dinner, then the show, then DRINKS! :lol:

I'll report back on the other side everyone!

Wish me luck!

Tony, if the venue is more intimate, try hanging after the show and maybe Chris will come out front and you'll get that chance to meet him. Have a blast man!

Soon, oh soon, Tony - Then we can finally discuss the tour! 8)

BTW, to everyone reading who saw a show or read a review, thank you for honoring the "No Spoilers" agreement that we discussed. I for one had a great time at the first show I saw in Columbus because each song was a complete surprise. There were a lot of cool things on this tour and we can begin discussions just as soon as Tony gets his fix :lol:

Have a great time Tony and don't hug the big guy too hard! :wink:

Thanks Jim & John,

I feel guilty. I feel like I held things up, and as fate would have it, with me attending the last show of the tour leg so far?????

I am however, so glad not knowing what to expect. This is our big Christmas gift for the family, and I HATE knowing what I'm getting....so as amazing as it is, it will still be almost a total surprise. Hats off to the big guy as welll, for not publishing the set list.

Hmmm, hugs huh? Not too sure he'd appreciate that. :lol: :lol:

We'll, we're almost out of here. Janey just finished up the tree, so it is all done & lit when we return home. Yes, we are celebrating just a bit early this year. Brand new bottle of vino awaits our return home tonight. UNLESS we get lucky and Janey hits on the slots, who knows! :mrgreen:

Whatever happens, it's going to be a blast. My first YES concert in like...........I don't know.....
12 years +/-. Hey, Dinner with the family. $100.00, Gas to get to Miami $40.00, Seeing YES for Christmas? PRICELESS.... 8)

tony,one of the nice things about having to wait a bit longer.....is that the band is well-oiled,and should put on a great performance. this being their last scheduled show for this part of the tour,should put them in a nice frame of mind as well.....enjoy !!

Thanks Woody,

That makes a lot of sense, thanks!

I'm just worried about the venue.

I was telling Jim the other day, FLOOR seats are STILL available. WHICH MEANS, the freaking hotel gives AWAY seats to anyone who stays at the Hotel.

When we saw Bill Cosby there least year, the place was full of drunks and idiots. He did a 1.5 hour show, and said "I'd love to stay longer, but the management said to get you all back into the Casino as quickly as possible".

I SURE HOPE they don't pull that on YES!


OOOOHHHHH MAN!

I MISSED THE 4000, 4001, and 4002 POST! DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT! I've been waiting a LONG time for those #'s to come up!?!!?!?!? :evil: :evil: :evil:

On the other hand, they could be sick of the tour by this time and just want to get the show over with. :twisted:

As I remember Tony and that 4002, didn't he take local delivery of it for another forum member - I think it was Bryce.

If so, Bryce may have a very hard time getting it out of Tony's mitts! :lol:

That would be my guess. Tony would be raving about having a 4002 now, wouldn't he?! :lol:
