I'll have to have Curt send me more of his, I don't have all that many Yes photos, just a lot of memories! |
Hi Chuck, 
No worries m8, I am just having fun with the little "back & forth" you and I had with the pictures. No competition here.
Though I wish some other people would step up to the plate and post some pix. The photos I posted were taken
by yours truly(just a schmuck who did time in New Jersey and had a rather old film camera) so I am sure
others have much better pictures somewhere in their treasure chests! 
By the way, I never really said what a totally kick-ass bass you have, Do you have any bass videos that can teach
me On The Silent Wings of Freedom? (Yes, that's right, I am your worst nightmare - A guitarist/keyboardist who thinks he can play the bass as well.  )
Cheers,
DM

Here is a guy who looks good in purple. (Also from SLO - 1996)

I love The Remembering, but I'd say it is my least favourite track on TFTO (sorry!  ). It tends to meander a bit, but that's just my opinion. The Ancient is literally insane with all its percussive madness. Then the calming after the storm with Steve's solo. I don't know how they played that track live to be quite honest!

Hey Dude,
The Remembering was always my favorite as well. When I got the LP I always played The Remembering first, years
later I looked closer at the LP label and saw The Remeembering was side 2. Doh!!!! Tales flowed better starting
with The Remembering. Plus, I do think some of Steve Howe's best acoustic guitar work ever is on that side.
Now: Where is a nice 5.1 surround mix of Tales From Topographic Oceans???
Cheers!

You have proven to be quite formidable in posting quality YES pictures. But how much more gas is left in the tank???

Hmmm.... a bit of Alan White, then?

Drats & double drats, 
Now I have to run home after work and dig up a photo of Alan White....
This battle isn't over dude..

The ES 345 and 175 are Steve's signatures for sure. This is very interesting to read. Thanks for the post! On The Revealing Science Of God, you can obviously tell it's a 345 because of the tone. I did notice, though, that tone of Steve's guitar drastically changed on, like you said, Ritual and even the Ancient. That's nice though, because the tone is great and Ritual is probably my favourite song on Tales.
Which Yes song is your favourite?

 Now, how can I ever possibly answer THAT question??
If you held a gun to my head, it would have to be CTTE (the first side of the LP) of course!
I differ from many on PA, in that I really enjoy Side Two of TFTO, "The Remembering" for some reason! Most here worship "The Revealing Science of God," which is an incredible work, but something about "The Remembering" impresses me. Squire once said it was his favorite side as well. Collectively, the entire of TFTO is perhaps the most impressive work of the classical rock music era. Pity it got trashed so badly at the time!
*sigh* For all the criticism Yes has received over the many years, they sure have delivered some amazing music to our ears!

Did Steve use a Les Paul Junior on Tales? I was actually suprised to see him playing one in this picture. I never knew he played a Junior. Also, if this was in 76, then that Relayer tour must have been a long one, since Relayer came out in 74.

Indeed he did! I have a copy of his book "The Steve Howe Guitar Collection" (signed of course!), and he says on page 37, in a section titled "Topographic Madness":
"For Topographic I ended up playing the (Gibson ES) 345 on side one and Danelectro 12-string on some of side two, but the (Gibson Les Paul) Junior is on most of sides two, three and four, where it is the key guitar. Side four in particular is all about the Junior."
"Looking back, I probably would have chosen to change guitars a little more often. But at the time I stuck with it for continuity and simplicity."
Sorry, I'm pretty much a guitar geek! Every time I've seen Yes perform "Ritual" onstage, Steve used the Les Paul Junior. Interesting, it was marketed as an entry-level beginner's guitar, but he liked it for its simplicity! He gets an amazing tone out of it!
As far as that tour, it was the "Relayer" material, but Wikipedia refers to it as the "Solo Album Tour." I saw the original "Relayer" tour twice, but missed this particular '76 show. I'm told it was amazing as always!

Hi Fox On The Rocks,
I have a hard time picking my favorite anything, to me each song, person, album or ice cream flavor has their own merits(or demerits for that matter!), so I am not good at number 1s, at all. Since you asked the question you do deserve an answer so, I will say...
Awaken off Going For The One, mostly because that album came after I had become a YES Fan. I first heard "Yes - Yesterdays" in 1976, so it was nice to be walking in a record store one day and in the new arrivals section there was GFTO, and then I saw YES that summer in '77 for my first concert ever. Awaken has that amazingly complicated & fast yet precise guitar work by Steve. That blew me away completely. And how can you go wrong with a real pipe organ recorded direct from an old church straight to the recording studio multitrack???
Do you have a favorite YES song?
|
Aw yes  , Awaken is a masterpiece. Some of Wakeman's and Howe's best work and who doesn't love those lyrics and vocals from Jon. One of the most ethereal and beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard and one heck of an ending if you ask me! As you said, it's very hard to pick a favourite anything, but when it all comes down to it, I'd say my favourite Yes song of all time is And You And I. The Eclipse section, in particular, always gets me. Mellotron Heaven.

You seem to have a propensity for the 4 stringed lute(why not add 2 strings to get to 6 and join the rest of us civilized musicians and be a "guitarist"??? ) Oh well, have it your way. Here is a photo from SLO of a nice Greco-Roman column! (Check your PM)

Let's have a YES PICTURE PARTY!! Steve Howe at the same Illinois concert, and since he's playing a Les Paul Junior, this must be "Ritual"!!

Hi chuck, That is an awesome picture of Steve. I am about to post a Rick Wakeman - YES photo. I challenge you to come up with a Wakeman photo from that concert you have been posting pictures from. This photo is from the same YES - SLO show in 1996.

I wasn't sure to even include the song info., as obviously there is a very educated crowd around here. Double string acoustic and pedal steel, could it have been any other song?
