Lol how can Rush be better than Yes live. I'm puzzled...this is insanity!!
I've not seen Yes a lot but the times I have they gave an oustanding performance each time... Jons vocals are still near enough perfect..and the other musicians are equally excellent. They always give their fans a night to remember each time and wanting more.
Quite simply Yes are the best band live without a shadow of doubt.
Then its Mostly Autumn , they do great live gigs.

"Hold Your Fire Tour"? "Power Windows Tour"? "A show of hands"? Yeah, they pretty much suck to me. I have gone through this one... maybe you'd like to check out my review on "A show of hands", come back here and scoff a lil' bit more about it. Maybe Rush playing live along a Mariachi will improve their sound and instrumentation!
You're a Rush fan to the bone, and I respect that. Just try to enlarge the picture where there are people like me that hate the sound of Rush live. I'm certainly not a big fan, but I enjoy plenty of their studio recordings. (BTW, whenever you're in Mexico I'd be glad to be your tour guide and take you to Plaza de Garibaldi and listen to great Mariachi!) 
Peace!

Yep, you just hit the head of the nail. It's a matter of perspective. Yes ain't better than Rush or than Grobschnitt or you name it who... it's just being conscious and dare telling excellent, well crafted pieces of work from crappy, out of the blue works. No matter who you support or like better.
Cheers!

You can't be serious about that, Cesar... gosh, more than any other band I've seen in the last few years... he practically put me to sleep. I thought his voice was horrible.. and the theatrics a bit like bad off-broadway....It was more like the lamb lied down and died....

Please, only 4 votes for Genesis?
The best show was presented by Peter Gabriel witrh his costumes and stories, the concerts were so great that there's a band that dedicates their whole career to recreate those great shows (Talking about The Musical Box)
Genesis Live and Archives I are great musical expresions of what Genesis was, some tracks are even better than in studio.
You can't get better than this!!!!! And remember everything in the 70's!!!!

ivan..
Those pictures are classic. There are not many ocassions when one wishes they were older than they are but I really wish I had been about in 1974 to have witnessed the 'Lamb' tour.
I think we should launch a petition on the Genesis website, putting pressure on their record company, and on Banks & co to release, on DVD, hours of old concert footage. Everything from the earliest appearances, through the Lamb, and into the the Collins era up to Duke.
It should be obvious to the record company that there are hoardes of people justitching to get their hands on old footage. I brought the Invisible Touch DVD last year. It was sh!t! I know for a fact that they played 'In the cage' and 'Unquiet slumbers for the sleepers' at that show, and they cut it out of the recording 
Anyway, I waffle..
Leave Rush alone folks, they're pure genius

Hawkwind are the best band I've ever seen live - especially the shows they did at Stonehenge. Rough and ready maybe. But an unforgettable experience.
er, was anyone else there who can tell me what happened...

If I'm completely honest, despite Rush being my favourite band, I dont think they were the best live band I've ever seen. I think my expectations were so high, that I was dissapointed when the sound wasn't as perfect as it was on 'Exit stage left'
They were great, but to be honest the gig that blew me away the most, and very unexpectadly was 'It Bites' Anyone who saw them on the first few tours will know what I'm talking about.
I've seen Pink Floyd, and U2 etc.., but in a venue the size of a small European country, the sound is always sh!t, and you if you have crap tickets you can feel very removed from whats going on. I guess thats what happened at Rush. If I'd seen them at Brixton Academy or somewhere similar, I'd still be on cloud nine now!! If the sound is terrible its difficult to comment on the music. When I saw U2 they got half way through 'Desire' before I realised what they were playing, the sound was so bad.

Are these votes for real only 4 for Yes!Surely more than four people who have witnessed Yes over the years have read this, if so where the hell are your votes.As much as I like KC there is no way they are better than Yes.To qualify this I have had to rely on my daughters dvds as they have never played live in the UK for years.As for RUSH I've already been through this they are second division at everything.

If you ever go to the forum of the Hit & Run Group (Official Genesis rights owners) you'll see that about 40 or 50% of the members are Gabriel era fans, and we ask for that material ten times a month.
But Hit & Run doesn't care, they say there's no Lamb video and never read a convincing reason about why they don't release the material they have. I believe they are only interested in 3 men era music.
So, I'm almost sure they won't release that material ever, even if hey have it.
| I know for a fact that they played 'In the cage' and 'Unquiet slumbers for the sleepers' at that show, and they cut it out of the recording |
This proves my fears, they only want to release their crappy 3 men era music, even when they have the material they mutilate it.

Shouldn't that be Hackett man!
Call me Mr slow, but I've just realised you can vote in this pole as often as you like. Spend an evening in Fragile, and give Yes a thousand votes!
