snippets from reviews of the last tour and CD will help . . .
"I was completely awed by the precision and mastery of these
timeless songs"
Kate Hoffman-Baley, Gypsymusic
"As if Chris Squire himself was on stage"
Dutch Progressive Rock Page
"Spitting Images of a live Yes Performance"

"I'd recommend it to any Yes fan"
Huw Lloyd-Langton
"I was fully prepared to walk out after a few minutes if they
didn't get it right! But, as others have stated in their
reviews, my fears were unfounded. After only 60 seconds I turned
to my friend and gave him the thumbs up sign, which he
reciprocated. Here was a band of very competent musicians
performing some of the most beautifully crafted rock music
ever penned, beautifully!" Malcolm Bowman - Cambridge
"Ils sont géants!" - Pierre Romainville - Verviers
"Goose bumps appeared with the first few notes of the next
song, "And You and I". I was in heaven." - Mary-Cat Berman -
London Astoria II
"All in all, a magnificent night. Not only did Fragile give us
all the right notes in all the right places, using the very
sound created by Yes themselves, but they seemed to capture the
very essence and spirit of the band and the Yes experience too.
The only thing better than Fragile's Yes, is Yes themselves." -
Ivan Fraser - Whitley Bay
Cheers, Simon.
