I was so jealous of my friend JJ, who went to the Yes concert at Centennial our freshman year of HS.
According to White, Yes's 1977 show in Toledo was especially memorable to the band, mainly because of the temperature inside the Toledo Sports Arena: it was the hottest venue the band had performed in, reaching 126 °F (52 °C). As a result of the Toledo mention, "Our Song" received heavy airplay in Toledo following the release of 90125.
Yeah, certainly was popular with my crew. The line, "Toledo's got to be the silver city in this good country," naturally made us feel a lot better than, "Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio, is like being nowhere at all" (released six months before we moved from central PA to northwestern OH, oddly enough).
