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

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.

Anderson, Wakeman, and Rabin are touring this year.

woke up this morning all yessed out

dynamicinterface, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 12:26 (seven years ago) link

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

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.)

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

erudite beach boys fan (sheesh), Thursday, 13 October 2016 05:57 (seven years ago) link

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.

akm, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 20:34 (seven years ago) link

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.

akm, Wednesday, 26 October 2016 01:06 (seven years ago) link

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.

doug watson, Wednesday, 26 October 2016 01:10 (seven years ago) link

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

akm, Wednesday, 26 October 2016 02:53 (seven years ago) link

wow that was surprisingly excellent

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

frogbs, Wednesday, 26 October 2016 03:09 (seven years ago) link

Glad he got his voice back.

I suppose it's a typo that the article doesn't list Howe as one of the inductees for Yes?

saw a stoner skateboard kid getting off the train a couple days ago with a yes '77 tour t-shirt. are yes really big in the stoner set? i thought stoners went more for the floyd.

That interview is great.

I'm surprised his Howard Stern interview isn't easier to find, I'd like to hear it. Apparently he was the first big guest Stern got to pick himself?

So, have you guys noticed this thing where the intro for 'Roundabout' is being used in meme-esque video clips where some sort of collision or confrontation is imminent. Except, right when the collision/whatever is going to happen, the video freezes just as the whole band joins in and 'Roundabout' begins, with a "To be continued" text somewhere on the screen. And that's it.

Where does this come from? I find it equally intriguing and hilarious that 'Roundabout' has found its way into "meme culture" in such a random way. And I find that every time someone uses it in one of their videos, the funnier it gets for me.

he doesn't need to be racist about it though. (Austin), Monday, 7 August 2017 23:16 (six years ago) link

Dammit, it's not there anymore.

Some anime cartoon used Roundabout as its soundtrack, but yeah, love those.

First time ever seeing this meme and I can confirm it's awesome. Dying laughing at some of those.

I wonder if OP trevor horn still hangs around these parts. I knew him IRL but haven't seen him in probably a decade.
