My first concert was on May 8th 1979.  I was all of Fifteen and my dad let me take the car, and a carload full of school friends for the drive to Seattle to see Yes, in the round.

Was a truly magical experience and one I will never forget!

So Yes, I will celebrate and thanks for reminding me :)

May 9th here, time zone difference. When they signed - it was already 01:00AM May 9th local time. Something like 03:00AM Moscow time.

I wrote “Happy 8th of May” on a blackboard in my statistics class; the entire class was arrogant of that day. Sigh. :(
