Incidently, I have Hackett's solo release Voyage of the Acolyte on lp. Worth picking up if you can find a copy.
BTW, best concert ever - Yes in the round 1978. Was able to sit on stage. Still get goose bumps thinking about it.

Yes is my favorite band; didn't see them in 1978, but have seen them in various forms about 5 times including as ABWH (at Madison Square Garden), for the 90125 tour (either at Madison Square Garden or the Meadowlands); the Union Tour (at the Meadowlands); and I believe 2 other times at the Meadowlands, and I think at Nassau Coliseum (as I recall at least one if not both times with Wakeman on Keyboards).
Genesis is also a favorite, but only saw them once; I think that it may been the Seconds Out tour because as I recall Bill Bruford was on drums. I am not sure of the venue, but I think that it may have been the Beacon Theater.
