>Oh, you really missed something then. (And I've certainly missed opportunities to see other great bands). Both were amazing. (it's also a bit humorous to see the different outfits that Yes members wear!)

>Actually, the two greatest concerts I've ever attended were Jethro Tull and Alan Parsons. Ian Anderson is a true performer....and yes, the Alan Parsons Project totally shocked me with how well they performed on stage.

I somehow missed the chance to see Tull when they played in Belgrade sometime in 74 or 76... so I had to wait until 2000 :).

Re ELP vs Yes - I just can't stand Jon Anderson's voice, while I can swear Keith is one of a maybe dozen people on Earth who understood the substance of the synthesizer. I'd take ELP over Yes anytime.

As for Rush, I discovered them much later... and was specially surprised to see that they have this guy with a funny last name... Živojinović. I wonder whether the rest of the band ever learned to pronounce it :).
