Of course the Squire pieces benefited from input from other band members, as did Into the Lens, so it's not accurate to think of them as *just* his.

Oh, "Man in a White Car", of course. If I had thought through each of the songs it would have been obvious! I was guessing either "Machine Messiah" or "Tempus Fugit" as the group piece.

Okay, So if I go see this concert, and since I saw Yes do the 2013(?) Yes tour with Davison,Howe,Squire,White and Horn, can I say that I've actually "Seen Yes" (though not at the same time)? When I was young I never went to concerts, because I was always playing. So this will have to suffice... I am excited, this is a great combination. Who's the drummer??? (no chance on Bruford having a go is there?

presenting ARW … the YES comedy league ;-)>

I keep going back and forth about buying tickets to this show. On one hand, they're pretty steep. But on the other hand, I really have a lot of confidence that Rabin wouldn't allow himself to be involved in something that wasn't top notch. I really don't think he'd be part of a sloppy show at this stage in his career.

Yep. This concert is going to be incredible because of Rabin's insistence of excellence. This is why we won't hear a new ARW album until next spring. Quality control!

**Gizmotron** · 09-14-2016

I completely understand the various reasons why one might be cautious about buying a ticket. The cost is a big part of that.
A second reason for some is Mr. Rabin. While I love Mr. Rabin's new, original work during his tenure with Yes, I was not a huge fan of his readings of older Yes classics. Another reason is the things Mr. Anderson and Mr. Wakeman have said to slight Yes and puff up their own feathers. They have acted like small children. It is a shame when the Ego rules the mind.

But the way I see it, the decision is a slam dunk. As a fan from the early 70's, I would certainly want to see Jon and Rick at least once more. They might not be in playing shape much longer. What have I to lose except some time and money? I see less shows than I used to...concerts are just so expensive...so I try to go for quality, not quantity. And I feel that Mr. Rabin will be the main reason that the quality will be quite high.

Take a risk. It could be grand.

I'd gladly pay the high ticket price for this show...if they would just add some dates in the DC area. Agree Rabin's presence will ensure a high quality event.

Understood. I was very disappointed Yes did not stop anywhere close to me this year.

Bethesda, eh? I was born there. I was just talking to someone today about how it has grown so much and how it has the highest amount of restaurants per capita.

Sorry for the de-rail!

**Score2112** · 09-14-2016

Yes sir! Very vibrant area these days, nice place to live for sure (also sorry for the de-rail!)

**battema** · 09-14-2016

I always thought Bethesda was basically a food court and then they ended up expanding it into a city after the fact

I'd have been happy with an ARW date in DC (Lincoln or Warner would probably be a fair fit), but since the Philly date is a Saturday it's not that big a deal to pop up and catch them there. Plus, Richard Pinhas is in Baltimore the night prior so that's a good travel twofer for me

**Score2112** · 09-14-2016

Yes, Lincoln (great venue, tends to host prog acts) and Warner would be good fits indeed. Maybe I'll try to get up to Philly for a show. Just dont want to miss this one.

Also...the food is quite good

**battema** · 09-14-2016

Dated a girl in Bethesda for a while, enjoyed several of the food options. No complaints

It would be an honor to make your acquaintance, sir.

**battema** · 09-14-2016

Oh snap, you will be there? Sweet! We'll plan to cross paths for sure then :-)

**Scott Bails** · 09-14-2016

Yep. I will be there. I'll hit you up as the show draws closer.

This is a golden moment to see Yes music!

Anyone going to the Atlanta show? There's a pre-show dinner meet up at Nancy's pizza around the corner from the Fox on Ponce. Come on by and join us!

**Sean** · 09-27-2016

Tour starts on the 6th!

See a bit of a Moog sticking out in the corner of the pic? I can see four boards for Rick right there and i bet there's more.

For what it would cost me I would have to work at Nancy's pizza, enjoy the show, I hope it's killer. I could listen to Trevor Rabin play all day long.
