Steevo Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Oh Boy, the Progeny release (2 cd) is excellent! The sound quality is superior to Yessongs.Alan White is the star performer! May have to find some extra cash to buy the full box set! Did anyone here pick up the full box? Call out to Mr Hatchet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is great, & despite the identical sets, there are little differences here and there that make this a must have. And with Chris' passing, all the more poignant. We'll not see their like again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Does YES have any good live DVD's? Symphonic Live, House of Yes, 9012Live & Live In Philadelphia are my favourites. Keys To Ascension would be RIGHT up there if it wasn't for the cheesy new-age graphics. Toe-curling shite. The New Director's Cut is really good, Montreux, Tsongas are fine too. The Union Live one isn't a full show, so that sucks dysentery monkey ass. Yessongs is too darkly shot, with poor editing and not a full show, but great music & a good doc. DVDs with Jon substitutes have not been watched, and nor will they be. FWIW, the best doc is Yesyears, the CA one is great too. Yesspeak HAD buckets of potential, until they got Roger Daltrey in to shout-narrate all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I would have sprung for the box maybe if there had been some representation of the Fragile tour with Bruford. The 2cd set is fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Does YES have any good live DVD's?If I remember correctly, Live at Montreux 2003 was good That one has a great set list, but a lifeless performance by the band; to say they looked bored out of their minds would be an understatement. I think House of Yes: Live from House of Blues is much better. Great performance in that one, despite the lack of Rick Wakeman.

Agreed, a joyous performance, they were in a good place with The Ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dwarf Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Now that Chris Squire has been taken from us maybe they should retire Yes and start a new band.Don't think this will happen though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Eureka! Now I know why I like the new one so much. It's a Jon Anderson solo album, without Jon Anderson!!! I'm a sucker for Jon's solo stuff. Just simple melodies, and everything is great in the cosmos. The only Davison-less track, It Was All We Knew, written by Lord Howe of Cemetryville, is awful though. Playing this again today. Hard to believe it's the last album with Chris on it, possibly the last Yes album ever. Maybe after the tour, with Billy Sherwood on bass, they might find some inspiration.

Mr. Not Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Here's the current line-up: Are you guys excited or what!? :D ...What? ...No? They're a shell of what they once were (and if not, much less than that)? Hmmm... They're disgracing two (and if not, more) crucial members to the band by continuing without them? They're classless and without respect to the men who made the band so great to begin with? ...Oh come one, that's hogwash.

But that is me...I keep thinking that Toto is touring with a bizarre tribute band! some bands can get away with swaping members for me. such as Toto. They swapped vocalists all the time and bass players. Spock's Beard is another....swapping Vocalists and i still buy every record. Yes is not that band. No Jon Anderson no Dice. or even Wakeman and now Squire. Yup to me Yes has disbanded. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnify Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 JA and RW should take it over again. They could do another Anderson Bruford Wakeman and Howe.

Mick I like Drama. 5/10, but not offensively bad like Union or [insert any post Union album here]. I tried The Ladder, Magnification and the rest, but aside from Keys, it all felt hollow. Too much looking back, or picking the worst elements of the respective current scene. The Ladder sounded like a Yes remix album to my ears! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
