    This thread is getting really long! Why don't we start another endless Yes thread r\to discuss in details how the current line of zero founded members is better than the line-up with those loser Anderson and Wakeman, and how Billy can replace Chris

    Dude, you're really a piece of work.

    Or Ponty. JLP has had minimal at best live appearances the last few years. He had retired nearly two decades ago, then released "Life Enigma" some 7 years later and started touring sporadically again in 2001. Also, his "Atlantic Years" band that played a few shows in South America was going to tour the states a couple of years ago, but never did. Not sure if all the "blame" should be on Jon; perhaps Jon or Jean or both had "eyes bigger than their stomachs", so to say, regarding this mess.

    Oh, no doubt... it's not the way you want to do things. But they may have little choice. We shall see...

    Part of the problem with have "off days" is that crew members, bus drivers, etc have to be paid, fed, and lodged for those days.

    Update for July 23, 2015
    Here’s an update on the recording/DVD. The title will be “Better Late Than Never”, with commercial release planned for mid-October. Kickstarter rewards will start shipping in September (which is why we launched the surveys early, for shipping address purposes).
    Track listings:
    * Intro
    * A For Aria
    * Owner Of A Lonely Heart
    * Listening With Me
    * Time And A Word
    * Infinite Mirage
    * Soul Eternal
    * Wonderous Stories
    * And You And I
    * Renaissance Of The Sun
    * Roundabout
    * I See You Messenger
    * New New World
    * One In The Rhythms Of Hope
    Each product (CD, DVD, vinyl) will have different configurations of the above titles/tracks.
    Thanks for your patience and support, and we look forward to sharing more news with you.

    Can't wait to hear it!

    We have until October to decide how much it will suck.

    Or not, for a change.

    Opening night for APB...could it be as under rehearsed as Yes has tended to be?

    Hello all
    This is Jamie G..hope you're all well. I am on my first vacation in 2 years back east where my family is. I had notifications on ( which I will now take off) for this page. I opened my phone to see dozens of you bashing APB , management and wondering why no one is responding..like we work for you. I am the only one in ALL of APB that works social media, and I manage the APB page.
    Ill make this short and sweet and then Im off to a romantic day with my girlfriend.
    1The CD/DVD on Amazon is NOT from us..its fraud *(which I already posted about) Our record deal(s) just happened and we are still signing deals worldwide
    2. the CD/ DVD will be released in OCTOBER
    KICKStarter supporters will indeed get their downloads and whatever else well in advance of the public.,
    so if you spent your hard earned money ,,,be assured you are gonna get what you were promised.
    3. We have a tour and we will begin rehearsing in mid October
    4. I ,,, Jamie Glaser) did the ALL the guitars over on the CD
    I have never seen the DVD,,and I AM NOT on the DVD
    5. I so not know what the art work looks like , I am a muscian and no one in this band works for Ticketmasters or knows about tickets
    Hope that helps
    I am unable to respond to anyone who responds here cause Im going to the beach.

    I thought he was being green-screened into it or some such. Guess that worked about as well as you'd think it would.

    With the change in membership, they ought to have just focused on the CD and then recorded a separate DVD from the tour with the current lineup (assuming that said tour actually happens).

    Seems kinda obvious, doesn't it?

    A big thing was made of this, at the time they were doing it. Assuming that this has fallen through is perhaps the least surprising thing about this project!

    Not only does it seem obvious, but Anderson already went through something very similar with the Keys to Ascension debacle in 1996. Under-rehearsed one-off show(s) resulting in unusable audio that had to be "sweetened" and thus compromised the video. In the case of KTA, this rendered the video laughable since the overdubbed audio often didn't match what was happening on the screen. Here, it's trying to pretend that a change of guitarist didn't happen.

    I wonder if they just cut out all of the footage of the original guitarist?

    Then they wouldn't have been able to fulfill their Kickstarter obligations.
