Does anyone have an accurate, i.e., not Guitar Pro, Jellynote, or other online tab. Not that there is anything wrong with most online tabs; however, none have Rutherford's correct tuning.

I only heard it once on the radio back when it was released (1981?) when Yes was and still is my favorite band). I immediately recognized Chris Squires’ voice. Then, couldn’t locate a copy.
Down & Out lyrics (whomever wrote them) is the perfect explanation of why prog rock died by 1978. Corporate Rock, Punk, Disco, early New Wave were the flavors of the day. The Record company said to...
Doesn't sound like PG - listen to how he sings the first two lines, esp finally "below."
Sounded like outtakes from SO. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
RW's moody synths, Hammond, minimoog leads, and electric piano are all over Animals. Unless someone else wrote or played tnose parts, RW pulled his own weight on Animals. What an F’in great album.
There is a far side of the Moon though. Drawn by Gary Larson probably.
On Low Spark, what seems to be a distorted sax solo may be a distorted keyboard/organ solo.
One thing to consider is that in some instances the studio version is either slowed or sped up. For example, I believe No Quarter was slowed down a half step (D to C#) and The Rain Song slowed down a...
Out of the above six MR pics, I have the Rick 12/4 that I received yesterday built by a luthier Larry Davis who took my real Rick 625 12 and 4003 and built it for me.
I have a Shergold 12/4 but...
Thanks for the thumbs up on Ad Infinitum. I've been working on the follow up or 20 years. I have all music either in Logic or in my head (fumbling and bungling) but rael life - baby, divorce,...
Does anyone know what songs MR used his Rick 12/4 Dounbleneck on (live)?
I assume Firth of Fifth, Dance of a Volcano/Los Endos.
Probably Squonk (Double Drop D tuning??)
In that Quiet Earth?...
Lee is an awesome musician. He played with Hackett for several tours as the “Michael Rutherford,’ playing lots of 12/4 double-check. His version of "The Fish" on the first ARW tourwasingenius. He...
Yes, songwriters make A LOT OF $$$$ if their songs are played on the radio (at least until streaming started). Non-songwriter band members make most of $$ from touring and merchandise. Record...
Thanks. Tarrytown is an easy trek. Might just check it out.
Where is that Yes/Rush giig? I'm on (not in) Long Island and might go if not to far.
Also, based upon the end on American Democracy under the Constitution on 01/31/2020, my wife and I thought...
“THIS IS THE BAD PLACE” Eleanor Shellstrop.
Favorite drum fill of all time - Tom Sawyer, second fill after the guitar solo. Xanadu is one of my top 10 favorite prog songs of all-time and Neil...
If i recall at the time, Fripp said in an interview or maybe it was Bowie that Fripp “spraypainted guitar” over Scary Monsters. A very apt description.
Beep Beep.
If an alien asked me for an example of "rock" drumming, I would say Phil Ehart on "Carry on Wayward Son." Love Peart, Bruford, Bonzo, Palmer, but Ehart on this song is perfection.
This is Kansas'...
Are there any demos of Parallels that were done for Fish Out of Watef? I read that Parallels was going to be on FOOW or at least was written during that time priot to GFTO.
I always thought DD should have Ben named Tynker Taylor.
John Taylor is a seriously underrated bassist.
In some instances, I don't mind a program vocalist pitch being off. For example, Peter Nichols of IQ. From the first album, be greatly improved; kwever, it didn't matter. What was more important...
Tony Banks' masterpiece
One for the Vine - drink up!
Fifty thousand men were sent to do the will of one
His claim was phrased quite simply
Though He never voiced it loud
I am He, the chosen...
Thanks for the screamout!
Many of the Big 70's band were eclectic - as someone said, each album had many different styles, whether blues, acoustic, hard rock, use of synths and mellotrons, experimentation, which is...
That Frankenstein video blew me away when I first watched it a few years ago. EDGAR kills on the Arp 2600 "keytar" switches to sax, then percussion. The whole band with Rick Derringer seems to be...
Xanadu definitely #1. In fact, it is in my top 10 from any band.
I've been wearing Roger Dean clothing since my first Yes concert September 1978.
I wonder if James Cameron will copy Roger's clothing too?
I was also at that 1979 MSG Concert.
Uhhh, and where might one find such isolated tracks (besides Jammit and Crammit)?
Agreed, nailed it. Prog is pretentious, but it's only RnR and entertainment. But I do love it.
Squire - anything on FOOW, CTTE, ROUNDABOUT!
Rutherford - unaccompanied bass pedal solo. Also during Tony's synth solos in Firth and Cage - really underrated
Geddy - agree with Freewill, YYZ, too...
The guitarist in the Musical Box is extrodinary. He is Hackett. The new keyboardist was probably the best one I remember seeing/hearing. JM on drums made it a unique show. I agree that Act1...
MB also cut out CU, Seven Stones, and Looking for Someone at Westbury. First time I didn't cheat and know the set-list for a gig in ages. Glad I didn't because I enjoyed the unexpected. Really...
Totally weird but I have that dream at least one every other year. Sometimes Yes and sometimes Genesis.
And Jonathan Mover was absolutely awesome last Saturday at Westbury. Who does he think he...
"Rutherford manages to fit perfectly into the song, supporting it so eloquently, and when you hear his part alone - you're surprised by it,"
It is really easy to critique a musician nearly 50...
I thought during the movie, "wow, Brian May hasn't aged a day."
Watched it last night, finally with my wife. Before the movie, I told her about Smile, FM's relationship with Mary, Brian's Red...
Yaman - I'm with you on your list, but add Assasing and He Knows and ditch Jigsaw.
My band Cathedral covered Incubus back in 1992. Let's just say us band mates were the only ones in a 50 mile...
Ha, I love Dry Land - h sounds great on that - awesome vocal melody, plus Rothery's "Kaleigh Part Deux" guitar riff.
And yeah, I like Grendel. I was at a crappy record store on Long Island back...
Except for the Season's End Album which I love, h era bores me to no end (pun intended). He has a great voice, but I just feel whatever he is singing is just slapped on some Kelly keyboard pads....
Siberian Khatru / Heart of the Sunrise - Yessongs
Loved his effortless drumming and his vox on BOTR. Would have loved for him to sing all the W&W material (and have Nad play the drums). : /
One of the greatest rock riffs of all time, but methinks Ian listen a little to Iron Man by Black Sabbath as an inspiration. Lot of Tull has Ian playing acoustic with a Capo on the 3rd fret. Guess...
At least Neil is trying - nothing wrong with learning new ways of playing an instrument. I never understand why some here are so critical of the music and musicians we claim to love.
Steve Howe said that they would work on arrangements that were great and, as you say, the rest would forget it the next day. I think that was during recording CTTE.
They originally had a...
Does any one know how he strung his Rick 12 string pre-Trick of the Tale
Standard 12 strings - higher note first, then the octave down string
A Rick 12 is the opposite - the lower note first,...
Nothing replaces Jon A singing HOTS. Close call on who plays the music better. Steve plays it like it should, Rabin butchered it (always has). The rest goes to Jon A's version.
To Be Over
Entre Nous
Counting Out Time (for those who equate sex and love)
A few extra thoughts about Roundabout.
1. Chris Squire doubled his signature verse bass line on acoustic guitar.
2. Steve Howe’s harmonics under the verse (e-, f#-, G were punched in). While...
My Amazon Yellow Nape Parrot is singing like crazy after hearing 2112 and my dog is howling- he’s a shitzhu, they don’t howl ever
There are also Peanuts versions of Xanadu, Tom Sawyer, Working Man, and Do You Feel Like I Do.
Come on, isn’t it perfect that Charlie Brown is Alex, Snoopy is Geddy, and PigPen Neil?
Awesome show at the Paramount. Utopia were tight, Todd’s and Kasim vocals were spot on, Willie was Willie and the keyboard player did Roger Powell proud. They should have had him sing Caravan...
Totally psyched for Utopia tomorrow night at the Paramount. Didn’t even know of the tour until my cousin asked me 2 weeks ago. Glad he did.
Note - the band’s name should be “Speaking Skulls”. Ditch the “The” or else David Byrne might throw a fit.
Rutherford’s guitar solo in Burning Rope is excellent - melodic, riffy, fits the music.
I just like to sing the praises and send huge thanks to Larry/Kinesis. Larry introduced me to a prog world of glorious bands beyond the usual suspects, such as Castanarc, Pendragon, and Eloy to name...
My favorite part of JCS is when Yvonne Elliman sings to Jesus “If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby, If I can't have you, uh-huh, oh”
Also, as 6-7 year olds, we heard the lyrics to JCS,...
Just to clarify Tony’s original take on BOTR. I was not talking about why they didn’t play it on the W&W tour, i was comment on Tony saying he otiginlly didn’t like it, but now really appreciates...
I never understood the venom against Your Own Special Way, even the Rhodes solo. It is a nice change of pace from 11th and OFTV and then Wot Gorilla. I like the vocal melody, especially the chorus,...
One of my all-time favorite pieces of music from any prog band, let alone Genesis. So different than the usual Tony/Mike compositions (which I of course I love just as much). Steve's haunting...
Most musical fads, if they are lucky, last 5-6 years. Prog lasted from 1969-late 1976. That’s a pretty good run.
When Prog started, it was the “alternative” music. By 1978, it was played out....
