Went to last night's show at Pala Casino.
Enjoyed Toto, first time seeing them. Definitely want to check out their new album, based on one song they played, Great Expectations I think it's called.
Overall quite good, maybe I was expecting more from them based on the comments by some here, my fault. Nonetheless enjoyed their show.
Yes; my seventh time seeing them since the Union tour, that's the day I first heard the term progressive applied to any band. Anyways, not their best show but still enjoyed it very much.
I now have a better understanding as to why some people have objections to the vocal department. It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, Jon D and Billy are not Jon A and Mr Christopher Squire (it's OK to call him that, right?) so it sounds very different. Someone described their experience as surreal and I tend to agree. It was not bad just very different. I'm not one of those "no Peter Banks no Yes" people, I do consider myself a huge fan, they are after all my first prog love, but still there was something odd. I'll continue to support them by buying archive and hopefully new material, going to shows whenever they are close by, Pala was the closest.
I think I just need to get use to the fact that this is Yes.
