How was that one?

Well that certainly clears up whether or not Yes without Jon would be good or not live.

I'd say Tempus Fugit for sure.  They also played Onward, which was Benoit David's request; although that is mostly about the vocals, so I could see Jon wanting to do that one.  They also played Machine Messiah, which I don't think I have seem them do with Jon; but I might be wrong.  They also played Astral Traveller, which was the song that Oliver Wakeman's keys went out on, so they actually played that twice.


Neat! Machine Messiah would have easily been my favorite of those, probably. That's such a great song.

That's pretty awesome. Clap

Sounds alot better than I would have expected, actually.

I never understood why people thought it was commercial at all. Confused

The only thing that is similar is that they really strip down their instrument amount, but "Design", "I Lost My Head" and the title track are all really experimental.


oh you're probably right, maybe I should've said less complex




Some tracks are less complex, yeah.
