Words and Photos by Timothy Reidy. The opening intro for Yes was a classical piece but one not known to me. Yes themselves opened with their newest song of the evening, “Machine Messiah,” and it might have been the longest. The group was Steve Howe on the left side with Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, […]

Donny Osmond – The Palace Theatre – Review – by Klyde Kadiddlehumper. The Palace Theater – July 3, 2024 Ever watched your entire life flash before your eyes?
