why late at night in the u.s. does ilm get all yessed out

it's the only searchable yes thread so i went with it. plus it's night. but not late. so i cheated.

i miss getting yessed out on ilx

ilx never should've tucked in its yessing

I'm listening to CTTE right now

I'm listening to Relayer. Again.

It's hard to say what will become of Yes now - however, it's tempting to imagine 50 years in the future where Yes are still going, minus any of the past members we currently know, still playing Close To The Edge... like a prog rock Menudo, or something.

I'm listening to CTTE right now

It's been Tales and Relayer for me

This thread is the reason I've been so Yessed out for the last 6 years.

Classic

She picked a dud live clip, though. Way better imo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcvByrgofjc

These words spring into my mind often. I didn't know what they meant when I was younger and listened to Yes, partially because I was not just surrounded by myself, I was also full of myself. I was covered in myself and clothed in myself and swimming through a sea myself only to get to an island of myself, alone on a planet of myself, spinning through a universe of myself.

feelin' yessed

hahaha amazing

\m/

also, can i just say, the anderson-ponty band album better late than never is way better than two dudes in their 70s have any right to be, and is kind of a tonic for the wretched heaven & earth?

First time I'm seeing footage of them play live - funny to see Anderson as a young man when I've always pictured him (just from his voice) so much older. And Howe like a wraith.

Man I decided to give Going for the One another chance after seeing that, and I just reached the point where it really started to give me a headache, which, it turns out, is about 4 minutes into Awaken.

Had a dream that I was using some kind of remote-control device to change a convenience store's LED-light sign to read "TELL THE MOONDOG TELL THE MARCH HARE" in scrolling text, but the store's proprietor yelled at me before I could succeed.

Maybe he/she just wasn't into the Jon Anderson songs!

getting so yessed out rn

Anderson, Wakeman, and Rabin are touring this year.

woke up this morning all yessed out

really looking forward to an AWR album (though why not Wakeman Anderson & Rabin or Rabin Anderson & Rabin . . . WAR / RAW versus YES!). the collaboration jon a just did with roine stolt (kaipa / flower kings (!) / transatlantic (!!)) can err on the side of saccharine sometimes but is WAAAAAAY better than heaven & earth imho. there are some old school topographic vibes for sure

aint nearly yessed out yet got a ways to go

never mind ilm, the IOM is getting all yessed out from Friday

"Grandpa, what are stamps?"

i like to think that the synth wooble just before the second verse of roundabout starts is what it sounds like to get yessed out

or the multilayered horn/squire "YEEEEEESSSSS" from near the end of Tempus Fugit

(If you want to see Steve Howe's Yes, their only gigs at the moment are a short run of Japanese dates and the Cruise to the Edge, departing from Tampa, Florida, on February 7th.)

seeeeeeagulls will pass you by

Err...yeah I don't like Rabin's '80s El Lay guitar histrionics. Guys...Why?

Just had a listen to some ARW, and like, damn Jon Anderson sounds good. I'll take Howe over Rabin all day (though Howe has been sounding not so hot lately...) but Anderson is just killing it, even sloppy old Rick Wakeman sounds better than Downes, and I like Downes a lot. I'm probably the biggest Drama stan on this board but still I gotta say, ARW pretty much blows Yes out of the water

of course it doesn't help that Chris Squire is gone, still such a sad end to things. oftentimes I feel like "Fish out of Water" is the best Yes record

this is great though. I think I'll go after all.

kurt schitterz tell me if you're going to this in november. my wife thinks it's sad I keep going to these prog shows on my lonesome.

Definitely go. I'd be there if it was an option. Also bassist Lee Pomeroy was great when he played with Hackett on the Genesis Revisited Tour. Sounds pretty good here too.

oh that's right, that was him. hackett's band was excellent (except for nad sylvan who is annoying)

wow that was surprisingly excellent

cant believe Jon is like 70 now and still sounds like that

Glad he got his voice back.
