Waaaaaaaay, way back when I saw them in Norfolk, Virginia area, when they were touring for their first album. They even did an autograph session at a record store, although the signed LP is long gone. I remember both Geoff Downes and Steve Howe being pretty friendly guys.
One minor correction, Steve Howe is not the former guitarist for YES. He is still the guitarist for YES and there are rumours of a 40th anniversary tour this summer. Chris Squire drops hints of this on his website, Rick Wakeman schedule seems free after his little tour around the UK in April-early May and Asia finishes their world tour in May.
Nothing against Asia, I like some of their stuff, but I am a hard-core Yes-man.
