That was the initial story, but it seems they have no intention of taking him back.

Or maybe he doesn't want to, being upset for the band not waiting on him and getting another vocalist?

^ That would be my guess. I sure as hell wouldn't want anything to do with them if I were in his position. I don't want anything to do with them now, so I can't imagine if I were him how much more pissed I would be. lol!

This will be the first Yes tour I have missed since the original Yes In The Round. I even saw, and hated, the Drama tour, but I'm sorry, I simply refuse to see a band I love without the main reason I love them and a tribute singer taking his place.

I know it's terribly narrow minded of me, but I really cannot face it.

  

I would definitely go, but its a bit too expensive for me. Anderson is not the main reason I like Yes anyway.


Off now to take my little boy to bed, but before I do, and I will respond to any other post tomorrow, I will just say that Wakeman (senior) did say after they both left following Tormato that losing JA was a lot more than a mere one fifth of the band. I agree



I'm presuming you didn't like Drama. Well I did, plus I like Rabins singing for Yes too.  But if you can't see or here them without Anderson. Definitely the right decision not to go.Wink


I hated Drama, and remember things being thrown at Horn in Deeside Leisure Centre during the subsequent tour (not by me, I hasten to add). I loved 90125 and Talk, but, of course, those two had the beautiful voice of Anderson. They really are not a tenth of the band without him. He is, IMHO, the pure essence of that band.

The tour is with Benoit David, and I saw them a couple of weeks ago.  It was incredible.  The guy from Montreal sounds exactly like Jon Anderson with the exception of a few vowel sound differences.  It's like hearing Jon 20 years ago, plus they actually perform a couple of tunes from Drama as well as Astral Traveler from their early album.   It was well worth it to see them.  Clap

It is my understanding that they did ask Jon and never got a definite answer, and I know he is touring at the same time as a solo act.   Who really knows what the story is.   The concert was great anyway.

I've read an interview with Jon and he is mad at the band for not recording any new music, just instant touring for cash
 
The only reason I will go to the Yes show, if they come to Poland, is Oliver Wakeman - saw him in Katowice in 2007 and he is awesome - just like watching young Rick I imagine (well, I was born in 1977 so I did not had the chance to actually see young Rick live)
yet you still have time!

I do think they should record some new stuff with the new singer.  I love his voice!
 
 
Well, I'm not going to say anything about Oliver, except that he is NO young Rick.   Quite actually, the keyboard player from the YES tribute band "Close to the Edge" that Benoit sang with plays more like Rick does.

Yes playing in Europe. Of course I'll go. I'm a Yes fan.
I think the two replacements will do a great job.
It will sound like Yes.
