spectoremg Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 [quote name='lojo' timestamp='1434348601' post='2798735'] Yeah but that's the kind of sadness I embrace and live for [/quote]And who am I to judge Quote

That gig, *sigh* As a lifelong Yes fan, it pained me to watch it, they all look so bored apart for Jon Davidson. In the Comments for the Vid someone mentioned a Jon Anderson/Todmobile collaboration with a Link to 'Awaken' my Fave yes song, WHAT A DIFFERENCE, a lively energetic performance of a gorgeous song that had me with goosebumps and tears of Joy. [/quote]I think that's my problem, I still rate their early stuff as some of my favourite music but this is tragic. I think they're stuck in a tour/live album vortex. And Jon Anderson should stay where he is - he's well out of it. Quote
KevB Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Saw them on this tour and to be honest it was a lot better than the previous one where they were playing a large chunk of the latest album. The problem is these days they seem to play some of the material noticeably slower than it was originally recorded at and it just seems a bit laboured. None of us getting any younger mind... Quote
spectoremg Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 The trouble with Yes is they're a 'progressive' band who didn't progress. Mind they've had some fun along the way - The Buggles! Quote
KingBollock Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 [quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1434305594' post='2798519'] Never mind the hair doo, it`s these bloomin eyebrows that get me.

[/quote]Sorry, I meant after a certain period. Come to think of it it was around 90125 that they started to regress! Quote
