The Shred Room or The In-Betweeners Club

The lusty voice of Bitten Toft Pederson from Mekhlin is now permeating the Shred Room along with some bluesy guitar.  If you would like to check this out follow this link to their MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/mekhlin where all 4 tracks from their Manuscript EP are now playing.  If you are interested in downloading the songs do a search here on PA for their suggest new bands thread.  All 4 songs have been provided by the guitarist Rasmus Jes.  And if you happen to hail from Denmark than you might want to keep your eyes open for a live performance from Mekhlin.

Jared, Do you administer the PA MySpace page, or is that done by somebody else?

I don't remember how familiar I was with Yes at the time that I saw them. I probably didn't have all of their albums at that time.  I might have only had 90125 through Union, and the Classic Yes compiliation.  Possibly, I had Fragile and Close to the Edge by then too.  It is too long ago for me to remember.  I was probably too naive to know any better anyways.  I just remember that I really enjoyed the show.  I enjoyed the duo keyboards and the dueling drum solos.  And at any rate I have become a lifelong fan ever since.  This was in July 1991 so I had just turned 21.  This was probably the first concert that I went to that I could drink at.  Here was the setlist:

^^tbh, I can't remember the set list from 17 years ago, but I think the Uk's was a little different... I remember quite a bit more Union on ours... (they certainly played 'Dangerous, I would have waited forever.... and I *think* Without Hope but I could be wrong...) conversely, we didn't get as much classic Yes stuff...

anyway, I'm really please it made a Yes fan out of you, and of their later albums, I really rate Drama, Talk and some of the studio stuff off the Keys albums, but not much else.  Psychologically, 90125 would have been better if they'd had called themselves Cinema, and then I might have liked it in an Asia kind of way, but for no other reason.  I'm sorry if anything I have said offended you, it wasn't meant to, but for my part, these stats just don't lie:

This website called Forgotten Yestedays has compiled the Setlists for many or most of the Yes shows.

actually, have you heard Laura's EP?  It's pretty good.
