YesshiftBONUS: Yesshift Night Shift - Aftershow Review of Yes in El CajonSteven saw Yes live at The Magnolia in El Cajon, California with friend Cris Molina and his friend JP on October 24th. Afterward, they went live with their overall thoughts on the show. While the video looked horizontal when filmed, it came out vertical for some reason. The audio also had some sort of feedback sound, so the goal in the new edit was to reduce that overwhelming noise without muting the voices. Ironic that there should be all these problems in a review of how great the sound of a concert was, right? Here's the original live broadcast...2022-10-2621 min

Here are our thoughts on the album, continuing our "First Solo Album Since Joining Yes" series of sorts! Also, the phone overheated midway through, hence the abrupt transition.
