Post by Talis MannI'm mildly curious about the band that calls itself "Yes" even though it
now performs without a single founding member, but it's not coming to my
neck of the woods anytime soon.
As elsewhere, the band calling itself "Yes" has had an amazing resurgence this past tour. I can't wait for this particular live CD to come out. Will Billy see his dream come true and they will tackle at least "Gates" in the future? Tangentially, the version with Igor and later the orchestra were enjoyable.
As for the "I left Yes because of Trevor" singer, and Trevor had "left Yes" at least once (when his solo record of the time came out -- I still have the print interview somewhere) before doing so permanently after Talk...... Throw Rick into the mix, and it will of course be wonderful. I expect nothing short of an awesome show.
OK; Chris and Peter have passed on.
Bill Bruford planned his life well and retired.
Tony Kaye carries on in Circa.
That only leaves Jon and Tony as the last active members of the original Yes.
