------------------------------------------------------- SEPTEMBER 20, 1980 ------------------------------------------------------- Source: Billboard Magazine YES at Madison Square Garden Tickets: $13, $11 Yes, the newly reorganized art-rock group, was a bit more straight-ahead rock 'n' roll and a little less art as it played three nights at the Garden, Sept. 4-6 to capacity crowds. Rumors about possible musical problems with the new members, Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, proved unfounded as they meshed smoothly with the other three members. Horn's singing may not have been the outstanding feature of the performance, but it was more than adequate. And Downes was a sensation as a crowd pleaser and musician as he deftly played his multiple keyboards. Yet there was a certain grace missing from the unit. No longer present was Jon Anderson playing a solo on his lyre. But the group more than made up for this with thumping rock 'n' roll pushed hard by the only founding member still with the group; bassist Chris Squire.
