Seeing this thread is a good reminder for me to go back and listen to the remix again. I've only listened once or twice but thought it was a pretty big improvement over the original, which I always...
Oh wow! Thank you OP, for sharing this. I might just have to check out that MA show.
Tony O'Reilly.
That's fantastic! I do hope they keep their promise to come back. And I agree, must be expensive to do just a single gig. Perhaps a New England tour!! :)
:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
Just saw this thread now and had no idea they were playing so close to me (6 hr drive!)... would have considered it. That's promising about shows in the future, if they came anywhere near Boston I'd...
This whole thing just makes me sad honestly. I mean, I know the sparring is nothing new, but wow... ARW are just making themselves look really bad, IMO. I'm a big fan of Jon and Trevor, but this is...
Haha! Beat me to it. :D
"Yeah!" featuring Benoit David, Jimmy Haun, Pat Moraz, Tony Levin, and Tony O'Reilly...
Wow, a variety of opinions on this one. At one point I would have said Lake all the way, no contest. And I still prefer his voice & think he's overall a much stronger singer (or at least was in his...
Here's another little teaser...

This is one of a couple of Eloy albums I own, and I enjoy it quite a bit. Eloy is one of those bands I really WANT to like, but don't always. Have tried many of their albums over the years and they...
This was the first time I ever heard Yes do the shortened version of Roundabout, and actually I thought it was pretty cool at the time...still do. It made it kind of hip & tighter in a way. However,...
Interesting. I'll have to listen to this again soon, with an ear towards the guitar solos. But I recall liking the guitar playing quite a bit. Sloppiness doesn't bother me much (I listen to free jazz...
Cool. I don't have a surround setup myself so I wasn't certain, but I figured it was a good guess.
I really wish there was an isolated bass track from Close to the Edge floating around somewhere,...
Just 2 1/2 weeks now until this show! Bands are rehearsing like crazy. You can find a couple of rehearsal clips on our FB page:

Advance tix are...
In many cases I believe they've taken the 5.1 mix of the tunes and isolated specific channels. I think?
Wow, it sure is! Very interesting. And I AM interested in the film.
This track is another high point for me. LOVE those keyboard sounds!! And that ascending vocal & chord sequence-- fantastic.

Interesting! I think I might like the vocals better on the single/alternate version. But I do enjoy the bold use of the string synth on the original. It adds a bit of mystery & atmosphere to the...
Wow...I didn't actually see ALL of the stuff in that first post. Some amazing finds here! Many thanks to the OP! Am digging the SSOTS sessions right now...VERY cool.
Very cool to hear these. Forgive me if this is off topic (since the topic was vocals), but I LOVE hearing the isolated bass parts too. Wish there were more out there but so far I've only found these...
Oh man, I LOVE Percival...one of my favorite tracks ever. Pure magic. In fact, Jeff, I think I remember talking with you about this one on the Steve Hoffman forums a few years back.
I actually...
I love this one a whole lot. I remember finding a cassette of it in the cutout bin at a department store for a few bucks. Was mostly familiar with Seconds Out, Abacab, bits of Duke, and maybe some of...
So great to read these posts! Makes me want to listen to the album again. Think I'll do that! Hadn't thought of the lack of medieval elements before, but I suppose that is true. Maybe that's why I...
Truly. It is horrible. Just saw your exchange with the guy on Twitter, haha!
Nice to see another fan of this one!! I will be more than happy to defend it with you. :)
I do still enjoy Give It Back quite a bit, despite thinking it's the weakest one of the bunch. Still...
:up
Fair points, some of which I agree with at least partially. But I'm of mixed mind on this. I honestly would have been psyched if they had done something really interesting and creative, and gone with...
Yeah, the reggae one is "Give it Back"...probably my least favorite on the album but it still has its moments. Every other track for me is fantastic, especially "I Lost My Head!" Big fan also of...
It always fascinates me how many different answers there are to this question. Certainly speaks to the variety in the band's catalog!
For me, it's hard to rank them, and my favorites have changed...
Totally agree. But I'm aware that there are many others out there who see it very differently than this.
QFT :)
I still maintain that Yes is the exception to the whole original members "rule," seeing as personnel changes have been an integral part of their history since album #2.
And then there's that whole...
But that's your opinion. I mean, yes, of course I put Relayer above The Ladder or Drama, but I LOVE those albums too. And regardless of what you think of the music, the argument still stands that...
I'd bet money that if Moraz was suddenly back in the band, the haters would be saying, "oh good, now it's more like Yes again!" Yet Moraz was on one album. Geoff Downes and Billy Sherwood have been...
Good call. I do hear that German pressings are (generally speaking) pretty good bets.
Cool, thanks. I'll just have to look for another one then. Must have been a bum copy I had. I believe it was a US promo copy. It was a while ago now, and hard to remember, but the sound issues may...
Yeah, I currently do not have a copy of this, but had an original copy that looked clean but played like hell. So I wondered if the original pressing wasn't all that great. So Jeff, you're saying the...
I just love the overall mood and feel of this album. I agree with Scrotum's comment that the arrangements can seem "naive," but overall there are some REALLY strong motifs on this album, to my ears,...
Sorry, I guess that question above is off topic as this thread isn't meant to be about Banco.
Well, as far as Italian prog bands who I think deserve to be on equal footing with the big three, they...
Here's a question for the Banco fans. I see a vinyl reissue of their eponymous American debut on the Cherry Red label from 2015. Has anyone heard this? Are the mastering & pressing quality any good?
Count me in as a huge fan of Melos. One of my absolute favorites. I love the sounds they get on this album...the combination of woodwinds and guitar at times gives me chills. Just some fantastic...
Hey guys- thanks so much for posting this! I am incredibly excited for this gig. Can't wait to hear your set!
Oooooo boy! What a great thread! Just found it, so I will have to read, process, and post more later, but for now I have four words: Il Paese dei Balocchi
This is the first Yes tour I've missed in quite a while, and I am seriously kicking myself right now. Regretting my decision big time. From all the clips I've been checking out, they are sounding...
Funny, I was just thinking about this album myself, and also need to re-buy it. I love a lot of Bruford band stuff but I recall this one as being particularly special. Not sure exactly why I got rid...
Oh man, I LOVE this album. Fantastically insane. I heard a couple of cuts from this on a tape someone sent to me when I was first discovering prog beyond the big 4 or 5. It completely blew my mind....
Off topic, but I love this quote in your sig-- fantastic!
I'm in!!!
I'm new to this thread but I'm here because I knew I would find this on PE! Excellent! I personally think the sample sounds pretty damn good. This wasn't on my radar at all until about 15 minutes...
Yeah, gotta go with Tales here.
Love Lamb and Tago Mago also though.
Quite often, and right now-- VERY much looking forward to getting the new Dungen LP!
Chris has been such a tremendous source of inspiration for me... as is true for so many others, he is the reason I play bass. I can't imagine life without his music. As others have said, this does...
Hi folks,
Wanted to spread the word about a show that I'm involved in, this coming Saturday in Kittery, Maine...which is about an hour from Boston (it's not "real" Maine). This is for the free...
Thank you, I'm trying to narrow it down. :) Much appreciated!
Hi all-
This is a real shot in the dark, but I am going to try anyway. Back in the days of cassettes, I had a King Crimson bootleg cassette that contained recordings from many different shows from...
I for one am pretty excited at the prospect of this... beyond that it would be foolish to criticize, not knowing any real details of the release yet! But I am totally up for ANY archival material...
Maybe someone has already said this but how could 80s Yes considered "late period"? This is 2015, right? And seeing as the band has been around for 47 years at this point I would say late period...
All are still available!
