David's voice is great and you can only just tell a difference between him and Jon. It'll be a great show, I promise.

| | | | They've got to have some of the best vocals as a band ever, up there with Queen.
I haven't seen them live though-are they able to pull that off well? |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Lone Star State | | | I saw them on the Open Your Eyes tour in '97, only time I ever got truly killer seats at a show (2nd row middle) and it was a great show. I was heavily into them at the time and I remember it well, definitely in the top 5 best shows I've ever seen.
Only thing missing was Wakeman on the keys, they had the russian guy for that one.
What is the lineup this time? |

However I will be giving it a miss this time round as I have no desire to see Yes without Jon Anderson, and I think it's pretty disgusting that they have replaced him and toured without him, all without his consent or even informing him. It's not even like the guy has left, or died! Why couldn't they wait for him to recover. Seriously disrespectful.
I haven't come to this decision lightly, to miss seeing Squire and Howe in action again is hard but I had to follow my gut on this one. And if you think my attitude to this is in any way melodramatic, that's what being a Yes fan does to you.

But I feel ya Kink.That moment during Awaken is magic.It is a very emotional moment,enough so that it brings a tear to eye and elevates my crusty old heart right into my throat.

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | I saw them a couple of times late 80's early 90's. Should be a great show!

|  | Pining for the fjords | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Visalia CA | | | As much of a Yes-head as I am, I've only been luck enough to see them live once - the '91 Reunion tour stop in Oakland. That was a show - everyone who'd been in the band was there except for Trevor Rabin, who was in Europe w/The Moody Blues; Alan White and Bill Bruford, instead of separate drum solos, waged Drum Wars; Chris' solo went for about half an hour and RATTLED THE WALLS; they played everything I wanted to hear in a show that lasted almost three hours; and I still have the t-shirt!
And yeah, I agree totally with Kink - this tour (the 'Hired Guns' tour?) stopped by here earlier this year and we did not go. It wasn't an easy decision to make for us either, but Yes isn't Yes without Jon's vocals...
