| - This review is a bit late in the making, the amphitheater at Station Square is a great place for watching concerts save for two things. 1) the trains that go by totally kill the sound, and B) the lousy plastic chairs they have in place for seats. Other that that, on a warm summer's eve, with that awesome Pittsburgh skyline right beside the stage and the band playing, it's hard to find a better venue.
This particular night, myself and YFOJ (yoga friend of Joe) saw Asia (with all four original members) and Yes (I believe this was the 418 version of this band, with a lead singer who was hired for his awesome imitation of Jon Anderson from a YouTube video). It was a great night, I was transported back to the eighties. Ahh, the eighties, me barely twenty years old, big haired women, lousy one hit wonders from British rock bands who had no business cracking the top ten. A flock of seagulls, take on me, super groups like Asia, GTR, and after a ten year layoff from making music, Boston finally put out their third CD.
Asia and Yes played for three solid hours, with Steve Howell wowing us with his awesome guitar work for both bands.
