http://yesworld.com/ywtour_euro.html - http://yesworld.com/ywtour_euro.html And from MySpace: Jon Anderson is not part of the lineup on this tour; http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vam9uYW5kZXJzb24uY29tL25ld3MuaHRtbA== - click here for info on Jon's solo activities. I was wondering whether I should be interested in the Paris concert. But at 64 euro the cheapest ticket, my answer to Yes is NO!  |

Same thing. 50 euros AND Jon, I would have gone. But a Yesshow without J. and at that price is nearly a swindle. |

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'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.  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Who cares? They kicked out Anderson. f**k them, I'm not going to any of their shows, even when they do hit the US. Chris Squire should be ashamed of himself, supporting the decision to axe his co-founding band mate.  |

You all guys missed the US tour, that one happened already. We even had some concert reviews on PA

I have no idea why they kicked out Anderson out, but it has happened a lot with e.g. Styx kicking out Dennis DeYoung, Kansas letting go Robbie Steinhardt, Van Der Graaf Generator no longer including David Jackson etc.
I saw VDGG, David Jackson was not missed as it gave the others more breathing space so to speak, but I also saw Styx on TV and DeYoung's lack of presence was noticable in a negative manner.

| Not kicked out: he was ill and the rest of the band didn't have the patience of letting him getting well. Or so I understood. |

Date Posted: July 24 2009 at 21:44
That was the initial story, but it seems they have no intention of taking him back. |
Posted By: harmonium.ro
Date Posted: July 25 2009 at 14:21
| Or maybe he doesn't want to, being upset for the band not waiting on him and getting another vocalist? |

Date Posted: July 25 2009 at 14:39
| ^ 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! |

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. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

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.

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. ------------- Jim |

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. ------------- ... and the flowering creativity of life wove it's www |
