I saw Yes at Houston Bayou music center. They had Fragile and CTTE entirely and 2 crap songs from their crap new album.

The new singer can imitate Jon's singing well, but he lacks any sort of emotion. He sings every freaking song the same.

For a young guy he is pathetic. I am sure Jon can still sing better.

Geoff Downes butchered some of Rick Wakeman lines but he also did well on the others. But lets face it he is no Rick Wakeman.

Not sure why Chris Squire and Steve Howe are so thick! Why won't they let Jon and Rick back into the band?

How do they dare perform Fragile and CTTE without Jon and Rick?

At 43 he isn't a 'Young Guy', I know he isn't an old aged pensioner like
the rest of them but he's practical a middle aged man!

Chris Squire is a megalomaniac!

Let's see... Jon Anderson wanted a reputed $1Million guarantee for the final tour (that was cancelled), allegedly twice as much as any other member due to his precious instrument....

It is the battle of the megalomaniacs.... and Darth Vader one over Yoda. HOWEver, Steve doesn't seem to miss Jon.... and no Jon, no Rick...

I thought they did well the last two times out. "I believe" in Jon Davison..... and.... I like the CD.... .and have no real reason to ever see them again in concert. After 40 some years.... I'm full.

Time for an emergency "Rob"-ectomy. I'm starting to be less than.... positive.

I thought nuJon did very well the past two times I saw them.

There's just nothing really new in the tours... different ways to play the same songs. I'm surprised that they've actually done _two_ songs from H&E in shows.

For me, as much as I've always had a distaste for Asia, I am becoming more and more of a Wetton fan with each passing year. Songwriting, strong voice, plays with a vengeance with two different UK shows I was lucky to catch.
