"Under the deal, Davies and Hodgson would each receive 27%, regardless of which one of them wrote the songs, and the other three members and a now former manager would receive 11.5%."
Details...
FYI, Roger won the case:

Sorry, got my quotes confused, unreserved apologies!
The thread is "Another Roger Dean knockoff?" He posted a logo that was obviously done by Dean (Greenslade) and one that wasn't (Galaxian), suggesting it was a knockoff. He wasn't implying the...
There are certainly some mood shifts in there!
Can't AI take all the bits and pieces of the Tales tour that are out there (film snippets, photos, audience recordings) and put together a (simulated) full concert?
The tracks are up on Spotify now. The alternate mix of Yours Is no Disgrace is certainly interesting, a lot more going on than in the final mix!
I believe it was May 15, 1991 at the Los Angeles Forum:

Speaking of Peter Banks, Midnight Special has just posted a new Flash video:
https://youtu.be/-4o3mK6Ms8o?si=TP2dVz7zGN9-Zebu
Have they advertised RD as the opening act? The only reason I knew what was going on was from reading reviews of earlier shows. TBH, I haven't seen *any* advertising for this tour outside a few...
Am I missing something or is the ISAGP (early mix) not included on the track listing?
D'oh! Thanks. Corrected the day in my post. I agree the sound was excellent, and Jay and Billy sounded good on harmonies.
Sorry, yes they still use walk-on music but it was Young Person's Guide..., not the Firebird.
Spoilers ahead.
I saw the show Tuesday night at the MGM Casino just outside Washington. The balcony was curtained off and people who had tickets up there were reassigned to floor seats. Roger Dean...
According to Forgotten Yesterdays, they dropped Roundabout last night (Oct. 1):

A nice Flash performance has been uploaded to the Midnight Special Youtube channel:

Sometimes I want to listen to "And You and I" but it's 11:56:35 AM and I have a call at noon, so this is pretty much perfect for that.
A weird thing popped up on Spotify yesterday: It's a "new release" of the "promo radio edit" of And You and I. Supposedly it comes from an album called "Yessingles." If you ever only wanted to listen...
Does anybody prefer a rough mix/demo/run through to the official release? I quite like the demo version of It Can Happen on the 2003 90125 release. But other than that, yeah, a listen or two usually...
No, I think it was the point in the interview when Julian ordered his dog to attack the interviewer.
I work at NPR and can confirm there are at least a few Yes fans in the building! (Of course none is under 50, but still...)
I'm holding out for the Left Channel Only Mix.
Come up to DC. Those front row tickets are still available for $150 (plus fees)!
Ticket sales for the Washington, DC show (actually National Harbor, MD) seem pretty slow. There are still front row seats available for $152.50 (plus fees, of course), which is actually reasonable...
Article in the Guardian about bands with no original members. Includes some comments from Steve:
...
Yes albums post-BG ranked:
Magnification
Talk
Fly From Here (Benoit)
Mirror
The Ladder
Union
The Quest
Keys 1/2
Steve Howe should've produced Talk.
Wouldn't it be cool if Yes did a "New Stuff Only" tour, playing only post-Magnification material in smaller venues?
I still have that cassette! Yes, I prefer Tales to Mirror by a very wide margin. But if I was trying to introduce someone to Yes, Tales would be far behind many other albums in the catalogue,...
Ha! I'm not saying Mirror is a better album than Tales! I'm just saying it's a better entry point for the uninitiated than Tales. Hitting a newbie with The Ancient right out of the gate strikes me as...
I think Mirror to the Sky would be a better entry point than Tales!
Here's one: https://spirit.rocks/2023/04/28/cd-review-yes-mirror-to-the-sky/
Jon doesn't sound very optimistic about the band ever playing the whole of Relayer at this point (at 22:50 in the video).
Tomorrow (April 9, 2023) is the 32nd anniversary of the first show of the Union tour (Pensacola). The Union tour is now closer in time to the Eisenhower administration than to today.
I've heard it mentioned that the horizontal line is meant to be the horizon. Below it is a lake reflecting the sky above. Which would mean that dude is way high up.
Unboxing video for the vinyl box set:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JLsUBZHEiM
Manager: Guys, the shows aren't selling very well.
Jon D.: Well, I guess we'll just have to play to half-empty houses.
Billy: Or we could just cancel the gigs.
Steve: No, wait, I think I...
There are plenty of tickets on StubHub for less than $130 each (inc. fees).
Has a decent compilation album of Wakeman's solo material ever been released?
I love Spice Doubt, which is a recording of a live webcast they did in 1998. They were a little bit ahead of their time in that regard. Who was the guy on a.m.y. who absolutely adored them? Chet?
"Clunk" was the sound exactly! I still expect to hear it before the harp part in Awaken...
The eight shows are only the UK leg. There are also 24 shows on the continent. So 32 in total for this tour.
Kind of odd that the poster says they'll play "selections from" Awaken, Ritual, Gates of Delirium, etc.
The excellent Forgotten Yesterdays site recently posted this image of a full-page ad for the Owner single in Nov. 1983 that lists Jobson as a member of the band:
...
I'd go just to see Paul Bielatowicz!
According to Wikipedia, next week marks the 25th anniversary of the release of Calling All Stations (1 Sept. UK, 2 Sept. US).
Also, Calling All Stations is now closer in time to the release of...
In high school two of my friends got into separate (not serious) car accidents and in both cases the song that was playing on the radio at the time was Zeppelin's "All of my Love." To this day,...
Here's a fairly glowing review of that Strawbs show at the Tower:
https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104626260/strawbs-at-the-tower/
(I'm finding these at newspapers.com, fyi.) Interesting that...
Here's a review of a Strawbs show at the Lyric on 22 November 1975 (from the Kansas City Times, 24 November 1975):

I saw A Flock of Seagulls, Blondie, AND Elvis Costello open for Genesis!

Here's video (at the 17:20 mark) from the Glasgow show that seems to confirm it is now in the original key (though I'm no musician, so I could be wrong):
https://youtu.be/enHYAV48TdA
Which Jon?
I've thought it might be plausible (lots of qualifiers there!) for Yes to continue as a four-piece after Howe retires: Davison (vocals/bass), Sherwood (guitar), Downes (keys) and Schellen (drums)....
Wakeman originally said he would boycott the induction ceremony, then he changed his mind and hijacked the proceedings.

Bill posted Rick Beato's breakdown of Roundabout and added this comment:
https://youtu.be/eeWgz6ObgDI
Well, two out of three of them already have.
I'd pay $300 for a nosebleed seat just to see this.
Well, either Yes borrowed from Clouds or vice versa. In either case, this version of the song was floating around London well before Steve Howe joined Yes (though Howe of course added his own flair...
The band 1-2-3 (aka Clouds) was performing a version of America at the Marquee as early as 1967:
https://youtu.be/MKE3tlij77k
It's clear (to me at least) that Yes "borrowed" heavily from this...
