He said he rehearsed Yes but didn't feel right playing it in a chapel. So may be played later.
He did a slightly different set at Trafalgar Warehouse - he didn't play Small Black Flowers or Let Robeson Sing - he did play You Stole The Sun and Yes (I think!)

We were at the chapel gig and I loved it! Pretty, intimate venue and a couple of curios thrown in there as well. It was great to hear Prologue and Been a Son. James was in good spirits, joking about people coming in late and going to the toilets which were right next to the stage and not wanting to play Yes in a church We did hear him sound check before doors opened and he sound checked Motown Junk as well, but don't think that got played at any of the venues. The crowd were very appreciative throughout and we had a nice sing along to ADFL at the end. The acoustics of the venue lent themselves well to James' big voice too. I just wish the gig could have been longer really, as I could happily listen to acoustic James all evening.

I took a few photos with my iPhone, although for some reason James' face has a strange heavenly glow because of the bright lights (and he seemed to have his eyes closed for a lot of it, possibly due to the lighting?)

I really wish we'd got there earlier and sat near the front. The 'being a short arse' problem is the same seated as standing, in a chapel. My neck hurts like hell today from craning just to see the top of his head That said, I could hear him just fine.
