YES 2002 TOUR - PART 5
|
|
Here we go, it's the end of the tour, I saw it all, what happened - crazy,
wonderful, special, happy, great fans everywhere, music-wise we were hot,
seeing a lot of America this time round, meeting pretty wonderful
people, feeling the 'LOVE' more than ever. We must be doing something right
Texas gets bigger I think. Austin was very happening. It was Elvis's Death Day, 16th of August, there we were on stage. I was doing my first verse thing with Magnification" when all of a sudden I thought I sounded like the King himself. So I shouted to the crowd, God bless Elvis!. They all cheered, Steve struck a groove on his guitar, and I started singing "Warden threw a party in the county jail " and we were off doing Jailhouse Rock. My legs started twitchin, the band played as though we all knew it, for that moment I was possessed by Elvis the King himself. I even finished down on one knee swinging my arm, crazy, crazy. You should have been there. Janeee just loved it. Then there was Santa Fe, what a great vibe. A big storm happened, but everyone stayed in the rain, cheering like crazy. We had to finish then start up again, Steve getting rained on... truly this is a great band to be with, Yes survives always. Thunder and lightning again, so cool, so powerful. All in all things have been good, a lot of little kids coming to the shows. They always look very interested, and happy to see their parents digging the band. I remember seeing my Dad when I was 3 years old, he was on stage dressed in a Scottish Kilt a Hitler moustache, singing and telling rude jokes... everyone was laughing and having a good 'ol time... Oh yeah, I sang a song here in Los Angeles last night in a studio for the Young and Restless' show, it was really OK. The song was So Long Ago So Clear", the first song I ever recorded with my Soul-Brother, Vangelis back in 75. It sounded great, so maybe people will hear it and want to buy it and I'll have a hit song in the charts, who knows, stranger things have happened Well, I'm looking forward to getting on with my new projects, going home with my Jane, relaxing a bit. Onwards and upwards as they say. Enjoy the day, it's all we really need to do. Everything else will work out. Let go and let Love Rule, OK?
