Starship Trooper

Chris, I fully agree with your statements above. Pondering what Mag would sound like wihtout an orchestra is: first, silly because they wouldn't have produced incomplete music, and second, a poor argument because it is the same as wondering what CTTE would have sounded like without Howe. Unfortunate...

Thanks, Relayer. I noticed that later on in the day, tried to hook up to ticketcrapper, and was stuffed. I needed a presale password. I'm not a member of Rush.com, so I'll have to wait for general sale. I see they'll be in Vegas! Wish Vegas wasn't so far away. I'll most likely go to Marysville...onl...

Ed, I agree your setlist will never happen. But, just for fun, let us ponder: what if it did happen? How would fans recieve the setlist? Would this setlist have a chance of capturing the interest of newer fans? What about the old-timers? Many of your songs are newer. Would this have a negative impac...

Jack, I like the sound of Ani DeFranco. Never heard of her, but your description of the music sounds yummy (electric alternative folk).

DT, i'd love to see Dream Theater. Damn, I wish they'd come around here again. Hope you have a great show. I've heard they are simply divine.

I agree! Ticketmaster is a massive joke! They can't accomidate internet users, they charge massive fees for their serice, they enforce stupid line lottery systems, and they keep the venues from giving out the best seats in the house.

Broken promises <img src=pix/icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle> That is what this is about for me. I remember last year being just a summer tour and the real "Magnification" tour was to happen this year. I'm afraid we're getting the same old nastalgia tour. I'm still going, for it's s...

I agree, WURM. While I like Owner, it has been overplayed and there are better choices, such as the ones you mentioned, especially Perpetual Change which was spectacular on tour.

Whether they'd do a good job or not, I'd still like to see a documentary on Yes. They deserve it, the public needs to know, and how can you hurt them anymore than they're already hurt?

Ponic, cool pic!

SPOILED! I say, they're all spoiled, every one of those Yes haters and dissers. They just haven't the capacity to lower their expectations and listen to some music. Kids! What a lot of punks, most of them that is. Instant gratification, lack of sustained interest in anything, a desire only for retal...

Yet, another dinosaur awoken.

The Ladder? I remember I loved this album when it came out. Listened to it bigtime for months, then...well, I haven't listened to it from start to finish since.

So, the Ladder, just a fling? A one-album stand? A fleeting memory?

I just thought it might be cool to awaken a dinosaur (this post).

Great idea. We do need Yes on VH-1. How do we get this done? Emails obviously didn't work, but maybe in mass quantities, they might. Any ideas?

I love concerts, I could live at them, but I don't have the money to finance all the shows we get around here. These are shows I'm not going to see, unless I change my mind. Lynyrd Skynyrd...seen them several time already, but you never know...they put on a partying show and draw a fun crowd. War Wa...

I feel your pain, Yesmam. However, if you really care about your little one, and we know you do, you'll find a way to make this moment and every moment from here on out, special. As far as car washes. Well, I can't really see a pee-wee cheerleader washing cars, not even a bunch of them. Bake sale, y...

All very good points above. Perp is good at instigating discussion and responding to others. There is a cyclic quality to life and YEStalk is not immune. As N2 said, we are due for a good, rippin' debate. So, who spark the discussion? Who'll be the flame (no pun intended, Eric)? I don't know. Not me...

Deep Purple, "Made in Japan" ????

So, relayer, how is that? I'm seeing Deep Purple this summer. I'm not too familiar. Am I in for a treat or what?

"Stop it Altair, you're killing us!" Ok, but not after one more surprise. What could it be? Opera? No, that's one area I have no interest in. Hip Hop? Nah, while I can stomach it, and even groove to it, no faves here. Teeny bopper music? Come on! I might be weird, but I'm not silly. How about some r...

"Ok, Altair," you say, "that is quite the range; heavy metal to new wave. But, is that it?" <img src=pix/jestera.gif border=0 align=middle> Not hardly pilgrim. How about some gospel based country music? Ever heard of Dave Loggins? Back in the 70s, he put out an album called, "Please Come to Boston."...

Now, I'll start to give you an inkling of my music listening diversity. As I said above, Metallica is great. Another one of my top 10 albums would have to be... Depeche Mode, Black Celebration. I was turned on to Depeche in my high school days and I'm still a huge fan. Black Celebration is my favori...

I'm really not a big heavy metal fan, but....I must say that Metallica, the Black Album is incredible in my opinion. I love it and put it right up there in my top 10. From the getgo, this ablum rocks, hardcore! Enter Sandman has one of the greatest building intros I've ever heard; from a simple base...

While it's not all live, I really like Rattle and Hum from U2. The video is excellent cinemaphotography and the music is superb.

Otherwise, I don't too many live albums. I'll check my collection and get back to you.

Well, I'm now eyeing the Ozzfest, late August, Sacramento. This is a really fun all-day event. A lot of heavy music, a lot of crazy people, a lot of fun!!! If I go, I do think I'll stay away from the mosh pits this time. I just don't feel the need to mix blood with people. However, I might try crowd...

Bracket 1: Awaken

Bracket 2: And You And I

Bracket 3: Starship Trooper

Bracket 4: Close To The Edge

Only bracket 2 gave me a problem. Gates is a great one, of course, but I'm partial to slower/acoustic work.

I love this tune!

"everything beautiful coming your way..ay..ay.ayyayay, everythihg beautiful coming your way."

Now, some of you are calling this a recorder. I thought it was a flute. Any difference, and how do you tell?

Pink Floyd, The Wall. It took incredible heart to produce this one. So much, in fact, that it wiped Waters out and he still hasn't recovered. <img src=pix/jestera.gif border=0 align=middle> U2, Joshua Tree. Santana, Inner Secrets Shit, I don't know. This is a most formidable task, so I'll have to ge...

That was a really nice review Michelle. I'm inspired to do something of the same nature, but I'm too lazy. I totally agree with you, though, especially about keeping an open mind and heart and chucking out expectations. We should always do this when listening to Yes. Now, my question to you is, can ...
