Well, I know some of DM is married, if not all the band, but, you are absolutely correct....it doesn't matter! Music is about music, not sexual preferences. Thanks for "straight"tening me up on that one, Chris2210.

So glad you all enjoyed the show!

Did Perpetual Change rock? It was my favorite in Reno and Konocti.
Did Steve play The Clap? Did Squire solo in Starship Trooper?
Did you guys like In the Presence Of? I did.
Was Jon in his trippy purple gypsy get up?
Was the limited CD available?

I didn't go, but if you really want some reviews, check out Yesworld. They have lots of reviews of each show. Sounds like most people are enjoying the shows.

Way cool. Enjoy.

No, I wasn't the long-haired dude. I was scrounging for sticks, not picks. <img src=pix/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Sorry to hear you aren't interested in trying DM. Don't get me wrong. I have no interest in queer bands or Boy Georgette<img src=pix/jestera.gif border=0 align=middle>. ...

Konocti was a most wonderful show! The band was on fire. Steve played The Clap and my favorite tune of the night was definitely Perpetual Change. The venue was absolutely beautiful at Clear Lake. "In and around the lake, mountains come out of the sky and stand there," were such fitting lyrics for th...

Well, it's time to take a Yes break. Now that I've seen 3 Yes shows in the last 3 weeks, I'm taking a break, at least until Magnification comes out. The day after I saw the Concord show (not as good as Konocti), I saw Depeche Mode and, accordingly, have been listening to their most excellent album, ...

Ericbliss, it's interesting that you mentioned Pink Floyd, Division Bell. Not only do I love that CD (masterfull guitar leads), but I also saw the concert, in Oakland. It was a fantastic show. I agree, it was more than a concert, it was an incredible show. The stage was the most artsy stage I have e...

Jon did mention they would have Magnification ready at some later shows Sunday night, in Reno. When, I don't know, and he didn't say. I do remember much of the crowd yelling, "Tonight!" They didn't even have shirts for sale! That's bizarre. Robin said they had been in Reno since the 4th of July. So,...

Thank you Chris2210. It's simply an honor to contribute in this forum. In reply to playing newer material, they do cover a few songs from their new album every tour with the exception of last year's masterworks which didn't follow a new release, unless you count The Ladder for which they had already...

No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed is another great tune that should have been added. They should have started with this tune. The beginning symphony part would have been a great way to open the show and acknowledge the orchestra. But, again, Howe wasn't a part of this.

I heard Magnificator was supposed to be there. Magnificator, where art thou?

Hmmm, one of the most memorable shows I ever, ever experienced wasn't Page and Plant in Sacramento (94' I think). That was a great show, however. The sound and mixing blew me away. I had never heard Zeppelin with such a progressive approach. They had one song that lasted nearly half an hour with oth...

Yes, I figured that might be on someone's mind. I, too, was curious to see how many people would be at the show. First of all, you must understand that there was considerable competition in Reno, "The Biggest Little City in the World." Counting Crows was playing at an outdoor venue just down the roa...

Now that I think back, Jon introduced every song. There was no blending. "Don't Go" had a newer sound ala "Dangerous" or "It Can Happen," with a tempo liking to "Roundabout." There were melodic changes, but not a lot of tempo changes. The lyrics, especially in the chorus, reminded me of newer approa...

Hi Tiki. Welcome to this really cool forum. I hope you stop by and chat some more. I, too, would like to have hear Time And A Word. Maybe they'll change their setlist from show to show. Bands usually do, to some extent at least. However, since they are playing with an orchestra, which, btw doesn't r...

Sorry if I posted the setlist in the wrong place (I posted it in the talk section) Oh well, its well labled, so if you don't want to see it, don't open that page. Magnificator, I, too saw the Reno show last summer. I also thought they were a little off. What did you think about tonight's show? I tho...

The sound was spectacular. Jon's voice was perfect but did seem to get lost near the end of the show. It's so impressive how healthy his voice is, still. The sound was so clear and tight. The orchestra was wonderful. Not overbearing or intrusive, but perfectly fitting. The symphony filled the music ...

1. CTTE 2. And You And I What a great opening. And You and I was meant for an orchestra! They played 2 off of Magnifications. 3. Don't Go. (I actually liked the rehearsal better, but it was still good) 4. In The Presence Of ( A very pretty song ) 5. Gates Of Delerium (perfect rendidtion) 6. Wonderou...

Ok, this is how it went. 1. Face to face 2. Minddrive 3. The Clap 4. The Remembering 5. Themes 6. Masquerade 7. Open Your Eyes 8. I've Seen All Good People 9. Time and a Word 10. Owner of a Lonely Heart 11. Soundchaser 12. The Revealing Science of God 13. The Ancient 14. South Side of the Sky Actual...

All Yes. My CD travel case is totally loaded with Yes...I'm prepping for concerts<img src=pix/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
