The singer is good, he has that color, but that's enough. Which is too little for me. I'm quite disappointed by this approach... I'd like to see Circa for example instead this quasi tribute band.

I wouldn`t even go to see them with Anderson. They`re just one band that`s had their day. Their newer stuff doesn`t cut and we`ve heard their old stuff too many times. Roundabout anyone? I might go see them in a small club for fun.

Its now official on their website.
I dont see the point in this at all.. It aint Yes!
Its becoming a tribute band..
They should have packed it in.
Hopefully they will not overcharge the fans on this as it wont be fair.

Actually contemporary Focus is just Thijs van Leer and three fans of old Focus - so only Chris could be left in Yes

That could actually be pretty cool. We already have Oliver Wakeman and Canadian Jon Anderson.Perhaps Steve Howe's son could take his place (so Steve could focus on his commitments to Asia), and one of Alan White's kids could replace him (after he rejoins the Plastic Ono Band). Chris Squire would remain as a mentor to the younger members of the band. They could call it "Yes: The Next Generation". |

I don't know what to think. MAYBE, depending on prices and who else is on tour around the same time.

God, they really need that money.
However, if they came to Poland I would go and see them, especially Oliver Wakeman.

What do Yes and Darth Vader have in common?
Darth Vader- how many biological parts can be substituted with something else (in this case, machine) before the man ceases to be human? Yes- how many members can be substituted with other people before Yes is no longer Yes, but a Yes cover band? |

So... is this a new tour or are they playing the same venues?
If they end up playing in theaters or clubs as opposed to big stadiums I'd love to see them. Not because I'd want to play less for an Anderson-less Yes, I've just never been a fan of stadium shows. (Outrageous prices, post-show traffic, terrible acoustics, and seeing the band on giant screens as opposed to up close and personal). The new singer sounds great, but hopefully he's familiar with more than the 71-74 stuff. I'd love to hear some songs from Going For The One and The Ladder. |

Have you heard this guy sing? I believe he's more than capable of matching Jon's tones. Stage presence, eh, we'll see but I'm psyched. It's still Yes. And who knows, if they're all still going strong we may see Jon next year.
BTW, does anyone have a date list for this tour? They weren't hitting Phoenix on the prior aborted tour and I want to see if they're at least coming close.

I don't know if this is still YES!!! .....................i know, i know .....DRAMA!!! but what makes Drama unique is because it's...unique! No other albums were made without JON.
I know a lot of people around here think of Drama as a great Yesalbum, but Horn was never an Anderson and Drama is a OK disc for me, nothing more.
SQUIRE might hold the key of the YES corporation, but JON is imlho the heart and soul of the band!
Hopefully he'll be back next year ......would look more like real YES for me

I saw Seyes a few months back, and they were the best Yes trib band around.
Bass player looked so much like Squire it was scary!
The vocalist was top notch.
I suggest you go and see them... By the way, they only play in the UK.

After hearing to the video I am skeptical about this guy - is not his voice too delicate (avoiding to say 'fragile' |

I saw Journey 2 nights ago, and it was an excellent show. Of course it helps that I actually like Journey. I think that I would probably attend the Yes show, if nothing else out of curiosity's sake, but I can see where many Yes fans wouldn't stand for this. Sadly, one thing that it comes down to is are they charging full prices for seeing Yes or are they going to charge discounted prices to see a Yes tribute band. Granted this is better than a tribute band from the standpoint of having actually band members but it is still Yes without Jon Anderson. As far as changing the band's name, they should have no longer been Yes after the first 2 albums when Peter Banks and Tony Kaye were replaced. But I digress as I have discussed this many times in other threads.

I'm not too disappointed by this. Would love to see Jon, but his health comes first. Plus this new singer is AWESOME. Here's a link to him doing Close To The Edge. Uncanny how close his voice sounds to a young Jon!

Their lineup has changed so many times that I don't see anything wrong with this.

I think it would be quite interesting to hear the songs that Anderson didn't like to play.

To me this is going to be another version of Drama.
Revert to the name Cinema me thinks.
