    Original lineup? You do know that Steve Howe, Alan White, and Rick Wakeman are not original members?

    We knew well ahead of time of the line-up, (A month or so?) prior to tickets goign on sale for the L.A. Drama shows. Although, we were dialed into the music scence, so we got a lot of the news pretty early, pre-interNUT.

    Not so on the East Coast, at least in NYC - I bought tickets for three nights at the Garden prior to the announcement being made

    I was not a happy boy

    I was unable to keep an open mind, Jon was / is a personal favorite

    It was "in the round", with a rotating stage in the center of the orchestra, (like the Tormato tours).

    Alan had this mechanical drum riser platform that seemed pretty gimmicky - none of the epic cuts were played

    Fail, for the most part

    I pretty much knew it was over

    Some US dates went on sale before the line-up was announced (and possibly before the band were even certain themselves). Other US dates went on sale afterwards, and all European dates went on sale afterwards. I think part of the problem is that information diffusion was poorer then: it's not like now when rumours of a band line-up change are all over the Internet and discussed to death before the official announcement is even made. I'm sure many people never heard the announcement when it was made. That said, the album was released before any dates actually happened!

    Nice to see Steve so fired up (again), but it's also a little disappointing that he's trying so hard to keep the tempos down relative to what Alan is offering up.

    Yes without Jon Anderson just doesn't feel like Yes to me. At least the new imitation singer sounds better than the last one.

    Are they doing these 3 albums the entire tour?

    Yes, barring I think 3 exceptions where they are just doing 2 albums (2 casinos and the YESFEST). Details of which shows those are are on YesWorld and my site.
