It's called "marketing" !
I saw that too, except it was the reverse, DT fans were giving the old guard their first real look...at one point Anderson cracked a joke thanking the people who stuck around for Yes. I think a lot of kids got a exposed to a whole new world of music that night. I love shows like that.
Contrast that with some less natural combos - Dream Theater was noticeably out of place right after Fear Factory in Gigantour - and I was a little disappointed with how many people left before the closer Megadeth hit the stage right after.
