Although I love Yes, I do not listen to them anymore. I remember them from the 70's, mainly.
There is SO much great prog being made today, to listen to. I mean how many times (although
a great album, can you listen to "Close To The Edge")
So many people are obsessed with Yes (look at Yesfans!), but, I feel you can miss all these other wonderful bands.
It is time to listen to them.

I think Jon will recover and that Yes will do one last tour in a year or so. As for new music, who knows? It would be cool for them to give it one last shot.

I'm just wishing they release another Tales, or CTTE. Not the same Quality or innovation but you know the rumours, the Epics and all.
Songs like The Ladder, New Language, Mind Drive, etc. But all in an entire album.

Yes has put out many great albums and more than a few questionable ones. I do suspect they will become a part of prog history before too long. I salute them for their contribution to great prog in the '70's

I don't really care for yet another best-of tour...
Steve Howe Trio is much more adventurous and interesting, and I hope Howe can develop it more in this longer break from Yes. See more abot SH Trio here:

Ask me what I wish they would do and that's another matter.
Jon uses that six months to rest and spark that ol' creative intellect he has been known for.
The guys get together to iron it all out. They release the album to the world and follow it up with a 'Thanks and See Ya Later' world tour

I do think we will see that from them.... or hope at least...

I Don't even care about a tour anymore! I would just like to see Jon get well again
and finish a final CLASSIC Yes album, so that they and us Yes lovers could cherish a last
masterpiece and let them ride into the sunset of a peacefull retirement.

Perhaps rather than an extensive tour, the focus should be on a few great venues recorded for DVD release so all of us get to see them. To me this is the way concerts should go in the future. It would save a lot of wear and tear on the performers -- and the audience. Last concert I tried to go to (not Yes) someone threw up nearby and I had trouble hearing over all the idiots trying to scream into their cell phones during the show. My concerts will be in my living room from now on.

Who knows?
In the meantime why not dream about the supergroup of Wetton-Wakeman-Bruford that was to come in 1976, happening in 2009?

Wetton-Wakeman-Bruford-???? Another dream team!!!  we can only dream so much, except i would prefer K.Emerson

The problem is TIME.....Jon Anderson is something like 64 years old. The others are a little bit younger, but Jon is the heart and soul of the band, like it or not.....How many more tours could happen, not that many and we don' t know if his voice will get back to what it used to be

How long do you imagine until they tour again? I think Jon will deffinitley tour again, but the question is when.

I. personally, feel that Jon will not tour again (I hope I am wrong).
However. if he does tour,I imagine it will be an extremely limited tour.
So, I would Love to see a "Return To Drama" tour! That would be great!
(Or get Trevor Rabin on board, seeing that he sings on a lot of songs.)

I'm hoping for a Return To Drama tour featuring Trevor Horn and Geoffrey Buggle. Since this lineup wouldn't be nearly as popular as a lineup featuring Anderson and Wakeman, they'd likely be playing smaller venues with cheaper tickets that I could actually afford.
