Maybe I've just been out of the loop, but why is the original OOP just 7 years after its release?
Kevin
What the what?

In my day, you could go to a store and buy an album. :lol

That's true, but FM -- like some other band I know -- has been through so many line up changes...I would assume most of their fans will at the very least give this a shot. Especially since Campbell...
Buckingham is a genius, but what a coup for Mick Fleetwood to tap Neil Finn (as well as Mike Campbell) as his replacement. As a longtime Finn fan who believes he's arguably the best songwriter ever,...
Gotta check this out. Thanks for sharing.

^Yes, I can't recall exactly, but I think when Benoit David came on board, Sherwood seemed to be on the No Anderson/No Yes side for a little bit there. Thinking about it now, didn't he indicate that...
In one of those Rockline type interviews on the radio around the Masterworks tour, when asked about Sherwood leaving Squire explained how now that they were about to go do strictly the "classic"...
My wife - by no means a big Yes fan - loves it. Never underestimate Yes' ability to create simple, beautiful little songs.

So much of the studio material on Keys 1 & 2 sounds stilted, and it's clear to see why knowing how it was put together and the circumstances surrounding it. But there was a lot of potential on it...
Yes - exactly! There are really some great nuggets of modern music history in the book and the film (Howie Epstein coming in to the Full Moon Fever sessions and being dismissive and not wanting to...
That's the one!
The book Conversations with Tom Petty and the film Runnin' Down a Dream by Peter Bogdonovich are both really essential for any fan of music. The interesting thing about Petty meeting and working...
It is really so unlike anything else Petty ever did.

This is awesome. Rather's The Big Interview is awesome. He's probably one of the best interviewers out there right now, especially when it comes to musicians -- I'd recommend if you haven't seen...
Felt like a bit of a letdown after the stellar Presto -- with Geddy's singing going from super emotive on that album to a bit too subdued on RTB. There clearly are a lot of good songs on it --...
I don't think anyone can expect that Rabin is going to really try to stick too closely to Howe's parts. He's going to just do what he wants on the songs -- sometimes he'll do a pretty good...
**SPOILERS AHEAD**
Caught ARW last night at Wolf Trap in VA and it was an excellent show. Really only criticism I have is that Rabin's shredding sometimes kind of derails things, but overall the...
Love that they added "I Am Waiting" and "South Side of the Sky." Hope they both remain in the set, and would like to see "The Meeting" as well. Very excited to be taking my 9 year old to see...
50th Anniversary -- Celebrating the first 12 years of their music. ;o)

Very nice indeed, though Sherwood & Davidson should work on the end vocal part a bit. That's a really nice part of the original and it sounded a little under-rehearsed in that clip.
"Bitch slap"...
Clearly a good move for the band. No downside to it really.
Kevin
Agreed. Although it gets a little messy at the end (talking about the album version, not this promo), I've always really liked "Without Hope..."
Kevin
"Maiden Voyage" -- how great is that little song?
Kevin
Add to the curiosity factor "Without Hope You Cannot Start The Day" (Backing Track). Neither this track nor Dangerous have Howe as a listed writer (not that we can get a lot from the writing credits...
Dangerous (Backing Track) is the most curious track to me as isn't this the one track on Union where it's confirmed Howe does not appear *at all*?
Kevin
Baldwin has been sober for about 30 years; his previous "obnoxious persona" had nothing to do with alcohol/drugs.
For the record, I think the man's a national treasure. :)
Kevin
Coincidentally, last night on SiriusXM Deep Tracks they played the live version of "Brother of Mine" -- credited as Yes! :)
Kevin
Bruford talks briefly about the recording experience during Union in his autobiography -- seems likely they sampled/adjusted a lot of what he did based on how he recalls it. As is documented, he...
I like the ABWH version of "Vultures" except for the bridge ("Stop building these man made prisons..."). Much prefer the ...
I was thinking more composition-wise; I'm familiar with how hard it is to nail down when and where Howe is playing on the album.
Kevin
I'd say out of all of the ABWH tracks, "Angkor Wat" is probably the one that Wakeman, Bruford, and Howe had the least to do with. Sounds like purely a Anderson/Elias production with Wakeman's...
Have always been a fan of most of ABWH, with "Birthright" really arguably being the best song the band (I'm one who lumps ABWH in the Yes catalog) has done in the last 30 years. "Brother of Mine" is...
Got very good seats at a great price for ARW at Wolf Trap in VA for this September. Two center rear orchestra seats for $129 total. First time I'm taking my son (9) to see any Yes project.
Hi Henry. Yes, I read and believe Sherwood's account of not being allowed to play, which is in and of itself odd. I'd just like to know how it went from that to Howe ultimately ending up on bass. ...
Some may remember me from the a.m.y. days and I've mostly lurked on PE the past few years from time to time. Last few months leading up to the RRHOF induction had me on this site a lot so now that...
Great video. RW & TB definitely sound the best to me.
