fraroc Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 One of the bands I've truly grown fond of over this entire Covid mess is Yes, I've always been into them on and off my entire life, but over lockdown I really took the time to listen more deeply into their discography and as a result, I found myself loving songs that initially turned me off because of their length (Awaken, The Gates Of Delierium, Close To The Edge etc) And as a result, I really grew to appreciate the music of classic Yes, I'm still #TeamRabin but Steve Howe is definitely one of the best prog guitarists of the entire 1970s. And also, I've recently completley fell in love with Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe. That entire album is seriously so f***ing underrated, I love that 70s prog mentality mixed with 80s instrumentation and Latin and Afrobeat influences, Order Of The Universe and Brother Of Mine are masterpeices full stop :) And speaking of ABWH, who can go wrong with MegaYes in 1991, the album might have been shaky and disjointed (but still really enjoyable to listen to) but that tour was absolutley phenomenal, probably the absolutle best version of Yours Is No Disgrace they ever did. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it, and they looked, performed, and the sound was great. Edited June 14, 2021 by Derek19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 You need to listen to these two albums. Olias from Jon and Fish Out of Water from Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Me with Yes 2004. I bought a Roger Dean print and had Jon, Chris, Rick, Alan, and Steve sign it. That's great! I've been looking on eBay for a single signed piece like this of all the main members (Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Squire, and/or Howe/Rabin) and everything is priced outside my budget. Not that it matters to you, what you have easily sells for hundreds of dollars. Nicely framed with a COA would fetch quite a bit more. The #'d and signed Dean print alone is worth a bit of $$$.

At least he knows it's real even without a COA. Having a certificate doesn't 100 percent prove it's real unless it comes legitimate source.

For his private collecting needs, but for resale having the COA ensures a certain premium over a non-certified comparable. I know how collectibles work, just not specifically music collectibles. Signed items (baseballs, hockey pucks, pictures) are tough to sell without a hand writing expert and provenance validated by a third party. Signed items are too easily faked, and probably the most common faked collectible type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
