From DPRP:

YES: High winds injur crew members and cause cancellation of Albuquerque concert...
Due to an unexpected storm in Concho, Oklahoma last night, carrying extremely high winds that severely damaged both Yes and Peter Frampton's performance and production equipment, tonight's concert in Albuquerque has been cancelled. The storm, which ripped a massive outdoor tent being used to cover the stage from its foundation, also forced the cancellation of last night's show.

Chris Squire says, “Nothing as tremendous as this disaster has ever happened in Yes’ forty-two year career. Most importantly, my thoughts go out to any of the crew that were injured. We’d like to thank our fans for their continued support and we will be up and running in Los Angeles on Friday.”

Better to have happened when only a few crew members were around than later. The overhead towers and lights had to be scary when they came down.
