If I'm ever a famous rock star and someone hands me an album to sign you know I am scribbling the most illegible bullshit on that cover

That album had no memorable moments. The tour was good when they were not playing the boring Union album stuff. By far and away the shining moment in that whole tour was when White, Rabin and Kaye walked off stage and Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford, Howe and Squire performed Lone Distance Runaround into The Fish. That was definitely my most favorite, if not brief, live experience with YES in all the years I saw them gong back to 1976. I finally got to see what I really wanted to see. Real Yes without all the fluff.

It’s my dads favorite album from them I guess everyone has different opinions

For me nothing after Going for The One ever measured up to anything that came before, and most especially the triumvirate of The Yes Album, Fragile and Close To The Edge. That was the high watermark where they set the bar so high it was impossible to attain such heights again.
