YEStalk Discussion Forums

Just saw an update via YesWorld.. Apparently Alan plans to return for the Japan portion of the tour.. Good for him..

I gave the band a hard time at the start of this summers tour.. to my ears they just were not hitting the mark.. With that said some of the recordings I've listened to later on in the tour changed my mind.. They sounded good.. Was is inevitable that Billy and the new drummer would take a few shows t...

I realize there's not many folks checking in on this site these days.. Curious if anyone has attended any of the Drama / Tales tour dates as yet. From the limited exposure I've had via Youtube videos.. I'm not impressed.. shame really..

I mentioned this in the previous thread.. Glad to see there is support for this project.. I'm very excited for it.. great combination of musicians.. Rick was recently quoted as saying one impetus for moving forward with this was the passing of Chris.. the other was the recent passing of Lemmy and Da...

Of course with the most recent news of Anderson Rabin and Wakeman...

I consider the RnR HoF to be on the same level as Rolling Stone mag. Useta be a good thing, lost it's way, and is now only suitable if you have a cat or a bird (in the case of RS mag), or a political good ol' boys club (in the case of the RnR HoF). I would go into the RnR HoF if I were in the city ...

Couldn't have said it better.. Chris will be missed..

Surprised no one has brought this up.. but with that said.. very few visit this site these days.. Hopefully Chris is surrounded with the right people in order to deal with his condition and of course prayers that he pulls through this journey with positive outcomes.. Hat's off to Billy for accepting...

Trying to be the ever optimist I refuse to let all hope go. The ship still floats. We just have to search all islands to find the lost crew members and get them back onboard. It might take some time so Full speed ahead! Don't have any suggestions as to how best to regenerate the energy that once wa...

I may be in the minority here.. but I like my Yes with some "balls".. and this release offers little of that.. Subway Walls and Light of the Ages come close to what I would expect from a Yes release.. You'd think they could have taken the necessary time in order to be a bit more creative vs. the flu...

Just happened to click on the Yestalk link I had bookmarked just out of curiosity and low and behold.. I then contacted Tardistraveler who sent me to Ed who helped get my password straightened out.. Will have to spend a few minutes checking things out to see just where things were when I last visite...

How odd, It's been some time since I had issues with logging in. I use Mozilla not that that should matter. The link I have bookmarked for this site is as follows http://forum.yestalk.org/showthread.php
Works every time, hopefully Ed can help you figure this out.

Love the shows I have from this tour! They were a very tight band at this point for sure.

Well, for what it's worth, my job has taken so much of my time, I hardly get to go home anymore. In Ohio now trying to expand the reach of this firm I'm currently employed by. I have missed YEStalk greatly and unlike times in the past where I found myself dealing with what seemed to be an endless s...

Disco Robot? lol Interesting that you noticed the similarity! Yeah I'm a huge Donna Summer fan (not), no I simply had on the 1976 disc from a Time Life Best of the 70's series and up popped her song and for whatever reason I let it play thru rather than flip to the next song. As I recall that song ...

Just listened to the two songs, and I can see where you're coming from, but it's more a case of the two songs being in the same key with a similar tempo and groove. I wouldn't say it was copying, as both songs are essentially just a groove around a tonic (C Minor I think), one with a vocal melody a...

Call me crazy but I heard Donna Summers "Love to love ya baby" on the radio today and the similarity to the instrumental "I Robot" was unreal. So when I got home I cued it up and sure enough around 2.19 into the song you have an instrumental break that is lifted one year later by Alan Parson on the ...

New news for Wishbone Ash fans! 5/26/2010 - London, UK - After 20 plus years, UK classic rock legends Wishbone Ash have released a new single, "Reason To Believe", which is creating a huge buzz amongst the music press and fans of the band worldwide. The single is part of an EP that also features an ...

Did a quick search but nothing came up with this topic. I'm sure it was discussed when it was first released, however I'm just getting around to listening this. Found it at an "attractive" price and after a few listens I'm liking this album a lot. Shame the "More Drama" tour didn't materialize this ...

Congrats! Will need to check this out!

This sounds encouraging. I too have only seen "clips" on YouTube. I've got one boot from this tour and overall it sounds OK. Hope this see's the light of day.

OOPS your right.

Peter Frampton is the guy that uses that tube-like thing on his guitar right? -gives it a sort of aquatic wah-wah tone. Joe Walsh uses that too, and Pink Floyd occassionally. But was it Frampton who invented it? Are you referring to a "speak box?" Lot's of folks have used that over the years but Fr...

I saw the 76 tour and yeah, they would need Moraz and Anderson to do it justice. The stage setup was very cool with the "bug" or whatever it was behind Alan that had wings flapping . And of course the light show was amazing. I'd be happy if they simply re-vamped the set list to include "new" materia...

Not I. On a side note I've seen two references to the fact that Jon, Rick, and Trevor are "working" on something for this year.... any one else in the "loop" on that rumor?

They played CTTE in 2008? I didn't kthink any of the epics were in the set list of this line-up? I was just going to say the same thing. I need to go back and refresh my memory. I saw them once in 2008 and once in 2009 and don't recall CTTE in the set list. I gotta do some more checking I found thi...

Just stopped by to "check in" don't have much of an opinion just yet. Let me tip-toe through the tulips and I'll get back to you.

Anyone else come across Roger Dean and Storm Thorgerson's book "Album Cover Album"? I think its actually quite old but it's been updated and I recently bought the new version. Theres loads of great pictures in there, a lot of which are recognisable from the classic era of music. And Dean mentions t...

I haven't listened to Yes in like 2 years, except for occasional watchings of the Keys and Steve Howe classic artists dvds. Wow, I just listened to a boot from the NH show from this most recent tour. Yes just has a way of getting played frequently. And not just one period of their history, one day ...

I just posted an observation on "another site". Was there any of what I'm hearing at your show?? This is a boot from NH show that I'm listening to even as we speak and there seems to be a pretty severe "pacing" issue. I saw them last summer and they were on fire, early in this show....not a shining ...
