A Yes Setlist

In general I must say I like their setlists over the different tours, I got a couple live albums, and every set includes some favourites, but it isn't always the same, lately they play complete albums on their shows, so the overlap is getting bigger, but this setlist, doesn't overlap with another show where they play Fragile and Close To The Edge in it's entirety. So I tink it's diverse enough. (check the available albums on this site and see how from the 90's on the setlist cleverly changes).

i feel it should be something more like the 35th Anniversary Tour Setlist but put through even further with more material from their early days (like their first two albums) and more with some of their other underrated albums, past, and present (like Drama, Tormato, and Talk). Something like this would probably be the best of both worlds and please the most Yes fans like myself (and i'm a 15-year-old American!)

^I like your list, especially It Can Happen, We Agree, and I am Waiting are great additions and The Prophet is indeed an overlooked gem. I don't agree with Believe Again, but still, why not add it to the list. Only mistake is leaving out owner of a lonely heart, should be on the Encore.

Main Set Yours is No Disgrace      Either this or "Siberian Khatru" is Yes' best concert opener. The Prophet      An overlooked gem from their sophomore album. It Can Happen      Perhaps my favorite from 90125. Then      I would love to hear this in a modern, more sophisticated context. And You and I      What I would call the definitive Yes song. Homeworld (The Ladder)      One of their best pieces from the past decade. We Agree      Also one of their best pieces from the past decade, and I'm sorry it's so overlooked from Magnification. The Remembering      Forget the naysayers- my third favorite Yes song... The Revealing Science of God      ...and my first. Believe Again      I like this song a lot. Roundabout      Tradition! I am Waiting      Talk is a good album with some great material, and this is one of those. To Be Over      This is one of my favorite unnoticed Yes masterpieces.  I actually bought a DVD (Live in Montreux) because it had this song listed on the back.  How unlucky I was that it was merely a Steve Howe solo intermission. Encore: Survival      My favorite piece from their debut. Hearts      A moving closer. Actually, I kind of like the solo guitar version of To Be Over better than the original. I feel the original was a bit over-long. I would love if they had done an acoustic version of the song played by the whole band (similar to the ones they did around the time) - that might have been my absolute perfect version of it.

While I disagree, an acoustic version with the whole band of "To Be Over" would be amazing, and it would have been interesting to hear Wakeman on piano with that one.

^ Don't Kill The Whales 

OK, the songs I would really like to hear are:
- Firebird Suite (played by the band).
- Starship Trooper.
- Roundabout.
- South Side of the Sky.
- Close to the Edge.
- And You And I.
- The Gates of Delirium.
- Awaken.

Not sure about the order, though.
And if we are talking about the line-up for a current show, I guess it would have to be with Squire, Howe, Anderson back, but with Davison still in the band, and Rick Wakeman back (or at least Oliver). And I'm afraid I would have to want some new younger wonder drummer (unless White really elevates his performance again).

I dunno if I could make a live setlist, but I could try making a compilation.

I agree with Rob. These things are so much fun to do.
