I see two well endowed Pygmies trying to pull the crotchless panties from the invisible girl's bikini 
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:top row far corner pink Floyd the division bell album cover..seriously
I could see Division Bell.
I see 3 faces. Two profiles of some guy with a big nose and a face with droopy eyes looking at me. And also, two people sitting at a table playing pat-a-cake.
Quoted from swampfire:We’re here to see Rick Wakeman tonight. Gray and white hair abound. I literally see nobody under 50 here.

Saw him here in PHX a few years ago (with the non-Yes-branded version of Yes) He still has all his chops, and still thinks he's utterly hilarious.
Of course, when he walked onstage wearing a sequined cape and playing a Keytar, the crowd went apeshizz. Good times.
Interestingly, plenty of younger folks at that show. (bit still plenty of geezers)

Saw Hermans Hermits a few weeks ago, same thing, I was one of the younger ones there and I'm gonna be 59 soon - lol.
No warm up band, show started at 7:30pm and was done at 9pm, we were home at 10pm. He knows his audience.
20230311_190904 (resized).jpgQuoted from Dan_Fielding:That's because they're amazed someone actually wants cash money! Ask someone under 30 if they carry cash, or coins for that matter.
Young folks don't care if there is a paper trail for everything they do. Pay cash, no trail
My buddy's wife had a bowl on top of the microwave that they'd toss their credit card receipts in. We'd take turns picking up the tab at our weekly after-work bar stop. I always paid cash.
One day he comes into work and says "So Rachel was going through the receipts last night and asked Did you have fun last night? "Yep" "Who was there, just you and Don?" "Yep" "$110.00?" "Yep" And I thought Damn it, I should have paid cash like Don does lol
No evidence!

Quite an elaborate stage and lighting.
One can practically smell the wafting marijuana filling the stadium in anticipation of the band walking out.

Just a guy who dabbles with the keyboards.

Long time ago there was a band called Yes. Made some great music.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_(band)
RW was the keyboard player. And still is. He is the old guy in the pics.

Whaddya mean, "was"? They're still going, although the lead singer who made them what they are was ostracized from the band.
No more original members, although guitarist Steve Howe has been with them almost from the start. They're coming out with a new album in May.
Quoted from cottonm4:RW was the keyboard player. And still is. He is the old guy in the pics.
Wakeman wasn't the original keyboard player, and wasn't with the band throughout. They've had several other ivory bangers, but I think he's by far the best of all of them.

Thank you. I like Yes but never followed them closely. I did see Yes in 1971 in downtown Dallas at some sort of convention center. I don't really remember the show, other than bassist Chris Squire was wearing some sort of cape.
What I remember was as soon as the house lights went down, the lighters and doobies came out. Doobies were being passed around right and left. This is probably why I don't remember the show This was in Texas. In 1971. Getting busted for weed in Texas in 1971 met you could get a 20 year prison sentence.
Just a few months earlier, I went to see Quicksilver Messenger Service when I was stationed at a military base outside of Memphis. We all sat there like rocks. Nothing was being passed around. Texas was quite a shock.
Quoted from RTS:(I actually like those old Herman's Hermits songs.)
I was surprised how many songs I knew - it was a good show, he's a good entertainer, great sense of humor.

I am 70. I was in my teenage prime when Herman's Hermits were hot. And they were hot. Not like The Beatles or The Stones, but HH got a lot of airplay and was on all the teenage music shows, like Shindig. Lots of top 40 songs that you could sing along with. Kind of like The Hollies who gave birth to Graham Nash who went on to super group Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
I have wondered once in awhile what happened to Peter Noone. The one time I saw him was, maybe 30-35 years ago, and he was on the car show circuit; I can't remember why he was there; He did not sing, but he was facing all of in the portable bleachers. I kind of felt sorry for him for being reduced to the car show circuit. Nice to see he is still around making music.
Quoted from cottonm4:Chris Squire was wearing some sort of cape.
Wakeman was famous for wearing a cape on stage. Maybe he got the idea from Squire.

My date was 66, she said had the hots for Peter Noone back in the day.
He kinda poked fun at their position in today's music scene - "So tomorrow, we'll be in Angola, Indiana...I can recall being a young up-and-coming band, talking with Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney and dreaming of when we'd all be able to play Angola, Indiana....."
Seriously, he was very appreciative of the audience and looked like he was still having fun after all these years. That goes for the band, too.
Quoted from pinzrfun:My date was 66
Like those older women, do you? 
At 70, I am looking towards the younger women
Yeah, HH was hot when a lot of music was the teenybopper stuff. The bubblegum crowd. Your date would have been around 10 years old This was before the Hippies and Marijuana hit the scene.
I am going to go out on a limb and say the music changed when The Doors released Light my Fire. There were 2 versions of LMF. AM radio was playing the short version. FM was playing the long version with the cool keyboard solo. The long version won out and forced AM radio's hand.

In all fairness to me, stupid auto correct spelled laying incorrectly. It bugs me.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:In all fairness to me, stupid auto correct spelled laying incorrectly. It bugs me.
Actually, "lying" is correct. "Laying" is a verb - you lay something down. An object lies on another object.
Quoted from Lostcause:Funny as ….
Rick Wakeman was very entertaining between songs. He told jokes that he allegedly got from his preteen grandkids, and talked about his first music teacher’s “enormous…funbags”. Just an amazing musician, to still be playing flawlessly at 73. It occurred to me that he was playing songs from an album that is now 50 years old. Incredible.
I remember seeing the Rolling Stones in 1989 for the Steel Wheels tour. I thought they were ancient back then. I'll be 55 this year, so I'm feeling over the hill. Things started going down hill for sure when I hit 45 years old.
Quoted from hlaj78:I saw Yes at least 5 times before 1983. Could be up to 7 times, but my memory of that era is kinda foggy
Ha-ha, my first real concert was Yes back in 1976. I was 12 at the time. My parents took me @ the Cumberland County Civic Center (CCCC)newly built in Portland Me. I asked them what that funny smell was? Of course I would find out soon enough later seeing the likes of Foghat, Joe Walsh, Ozzy, etc. during my high-school years... My mom taught a course on current music in my school and we got to listen to stuff like this.

Love that album. Earthshaking bass on the cut with the pipe organ!
The Cat Stevens song, "Morning Has Broken" used an adaptation of the melody from "Catherine Howard" (The Six Wives of Henry VIII). Rick Wakeman arranged and played it on that song, but Stevens didn't even credit him. Stevens didn't write the words either. It's a Christian hymn written by Eleanor Farjeon, and first published in 1931.
I always wondered whether Cat/Yusuf/Cat was bothered by the fact that his other biggest hit was a cover of a Sam Cooke song. Both Morning Has Broken and Another Saturday Night peaked at number 6, and now you tell me he didn't write the other one either? Ooh, burn!
But in fairness to Cat, he wrote “The First Cut is the Deepest” and Rod Stewart is the guy who made it a hit. I always felt a pretty deep connection to his music growing up (same with James Taylor and Jim Croce). Great music if you were a kid learning guitar in the 70’s.

Did you ever go to a concert and they handed out earplugs? This band "Indigenous" was freakin loud. This was the small theatre we saw them at.
Quoted from scottslash:I still have his Journey to the Centre of the Earth album! Thanks for reminding me!

Too bad. Mr Jaffee was a key contributer of MAD magazine.
His "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" always cracked me up.
I LOVED satire and sarcasm. As I grew up I found some good
inspiration from these:
MAD magazine
Archie Bunker
Don Rickles
Bugs Bunny
