Just a reminder to anyone interested...The Nektar concert stream that is showing in place of the postponed live stream starts shortly, 8pm tonight. I'm not sure what other links are available but on...

Ok enough of this silliness! Well l made it to Asbury Park, anyone else here?

Actually that show was in Ocean City,NJ., near Atlantic City. He's also playing tomorrow night, Friday 8/2 in Asbury Park, NJ which if anyone is interested there are plenty of seats still available...

FWIW....from the Pollstar website, I guess better late than never:meh https://www.pollstar.com/article/prog-rock-royalty-returns-yes-asia-the-moody-blues-elp-invade-america-138448

What was the official start time on the ticket? The two shows l seen and as far as l know most of the shows had a 630 start time and Carl Palmer came on at exactly the starting time or within a few...

The couple shows l seen he did Saved by the Music so I'd assume he's doing the same set through the whole tour

I'm a little late, you're probably at the show already, but l wanted to say you made the right decision, enjoy the show and let us know what you thought. This thread needs some new activity, there...

I didn't pay much attention to the previous dates other than the ones in my area, NY/NJ/PA, so im not sure how the upcoming set of tour dates compare to the last ones or whether they're hitting new...

I seen the show in April and it was better than l expected so I'm considering seeing another show on the upcoming second leg, but as much as l enjoyed the first one I'm not sure l want to see the...

What was that?......did somebody say something about Bruuuuuce and Prog........???

Hmm, l must have missed that, I'll have to watch it more closely next time :lol

Robin Trower was on the original studio recording from l think it was 1967, Robin Trower had left the band by the time the more well known version in 1972 with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra was...

Wow, now this changes everything! Actually l forgot about that, wasn't this mentioned here awhile ago? At first I didn't think this was true, how could it have been recorded before the original in...

I always thought it would've been interesting if Yes had done an unplugged version of the song, kind of like a CSN style....just for the heck of it!

Kind of how l felt about Magnification before and after it came out, l don't dislike it but l didn't feel the use of the orchestra really added anything significant, the tour was a little more...

I completely understand your point and it was what l figured it would be, l was only stating a diffefent point of view, and as you even said, technically it is accurate that it is a cover, so l think...

Originally in the 60s and 70s it was something new and seemed like more of an experiment, some worked better than others but l never thought any were bad. But yeah, in more recent years it seemed...

Govt Mule has covered so many others through the years including much of Pink Floyd but l never gave much thought to them ever doing any Yes covers so this is interesting to hear. I also wasn't aware...

Why wouldn't it be counted as a cover...?

As was said in another post.....'At the risk of putting this thread back on topic' here's yet another Gates video, a couple things about this, I didn't have the time to compare it to the other Gates...

I could not even 'Imagine' that:O

I couldn't have said it better myself, my feelings exactly, as for the 'no response is the best response' l think many here would like this to end but only after they get their two cents in! Which...

I really really wanted to stay out of this conversation, debate or whatever, but l couldn't ignore this, I've had an issue with this for half my life, I'm not going to get into details in this...

I seen Justin Hayward solo back in the 90s, l haven't noticed and don't know how much solo touring he's done outside the Moody Blues up until recently when it seems about 5-6 years ago he started...

Prior to seeing the show l thought 4 bands were a bit much, but after seeing the show yeah, it was a fun night, kind of a mini prog festival! However just a heads up for anyone still going to see...

Yikes, 1975! What are you waiting for? Patrick is not coming back:O

A few thoughts on Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City NJ, things were much more loose and not as controlled as today, I'm not saying that's good or bad, it was just a different time. But because of that...

That could be interesting, maybe in a few years when they run out of new ideas they could try something like that!:lol

Ok, thats pretty much where I'm at , l didn't think it was significant enough to qualify as a slower tempo, and yeah, l wondered about the possibility of variations given the length of the song. I...

l guess l missed that one, because of the tight schedule between bands l was using the first part of Asia for a break so that l could catch the Steve Howe part. But I'm not sure that's the best...

OK, then as I suspected my math was off, I was trying to do it on my phone while in a hurry. But if you're correct then that would mean the Bethlehem version was slower, unless you're saying that the...

I remember Fire as a hit on the radio way back when, I always liked it. I remember finding out that Carl played the drums on it, so it was a real treat seeing him after all these years. I cant say...

Yeah, I was skeptical too but seen them twice and was pleasantly surprised at how good Ron fit in to the band, he even sounded close to John Wetton at times. But since Steve Howe was only guesting...

Yep, that was also my first Yes show, MSG February 74. Next one also Roosevelt Stadium, both in 75 and 76, and also the legendary JFK show in 76

Yeah but if you take into account the intro time the difference between the two l found to be only about 10-15 seconds, but that was a quick check, I'll have to check my math again ;)

Hmm, I'm not so sure but l was hoping to hear some more opinions on this. That second version looks like it's from the Holmdel,NJ show on Sunday, which I was at. When l was at the show it didn't seem...

If the tour isn't coming to your area then maybe it's time to plan a trip!

This subject was addressed earlier in the thread, the current dates are pretty much it, at least for North America

After the Drama tour as far as l know that was it for In the Round, until the Union tour when it was revived

So I'm probably remembering correctly, 1978 was l think the first 'in the round' tour, my stubs from those days are packed away somewhere, it could take forever to find them

I know we're discussing the 1979 show but does anyone recall if 79 was the only tour in the round? ( in the 70s) l seen Yes at MSG in the round but I've always thought the show l seen was 1978, it...

l consider myself to have a pretty good ear, however not being a musician l sometimes second guess myself, but in my original post on this what your saying was my first thought, it seemed like Carl...

Ok, yeah, I hear it now, I keep watching that part and it's hilarious watching Carls reaction, and then a bit after that Geoff peaks over his shoulder as if he's checking to see if anyone noticed....

After watching it a few more times i'm not sure, everything almost stops and Carl looks over at Geoff.....any opinions?

Yeah, I posted Soul Survivor from this show a few posts back and mentioned a possible slight misstep, but then I watched this and there was no doubt, not sure what exactly happened but I'm thinking...

And a second Asia clip from Bethlehem,PA 6/12/19 https://youtu.be/w2I8rUURnsE

For anyone wondering how the new Asia lineup was here's another video from the same person that got Gates. I was at this show and prior to the show I was skeptical but after seeing them I thought it...

Speaking of Jay on drums the one surprise, and disappointment of the show was realizing Alan isn't, as previously thought, back to playing the majority of the show. But really there isn't anyone...

SPOILER Alert....if you haven't seen the setlist.

I was there and I can say it was better being there in person but only for the obvious reasons of it being live, but this video unlike the majority of concert videos, it really does it justice. I...

I've heard many refer to this lineup of Yes as The Steve Howe Band, there's a point to that and at one time l even said it myself, but that doesn't necessarily make it bad, call it what you want,...

I gave a general comment earlier today, otherwise I'm not much for reviewing shows, that's why l was hoping someone else would review the show, but again, in general, Carl Palmer was the usual, good...

A general schedule of the times, Carl Palmer 645-715, John Lodge start about 720-725, end about 755. I left for a break but from what l was told I'm estimating Asia started about 805-810pm, then it...

It looks like I'm the only one on here that was at the Bethlehem show, l was hoping someone else would give a review, it's been a really busy and hectic couple of days trying to work and squeeze in...

His booth was there with his art for sale and I'm assuming the booth will be at all the tour dates as originally scheduled, however Roger himself will not be with the tour in person until the...

I mentioned a couple days ago that Roger Dean would not be at the first handful of shows, however his booth and display were at the show yesterday, l was told that Roger would be joining the tour at...

Not sure who the question was for but I'll give my thoughts, it wasn't the same as it was in the 70s or 2000-2001, but l thought it was done respectively, l thought Billy did a good job, overall l...

I was there and l agree with everything your saying. I looked around during the song and l think many others felt the same, l don't think it's a matter of not liking the song, it just didn't seem to...

Yes, Jon D joined John Lodge on this one song

Allow me:) I'm glad the setlist was posted, l was hoping to post a mini review after the show last night but it was a late night and I needed to be up very early for work, l don't have a lot of time...
