Anderson/Ponty Tour 2015

[yesterdays]

I would think maybe that if the Crest is revealing the pre-sale code wouldn't the Saban as well? It was very official looking as in the bottom of the APB publicity photo.

Code was posted on the kickstarter debacle thread .

Thanks, I saw that but the code(s) shown don't work for the Saban for some reason.

Password "APB636363" has been released by the Saban Theater on their Facebook page.

5th row center, Berklee.

So of course it'll get canceled.

No email from the Keswick yet, I usually get presale info.

This is funny, they are presented as: "Anderson Ponty Band wtih Jon Anderson & Jean Luc Ponty". I like the clarification, I guess just in case... no holograms,,,no green screen or impersonators.

Just picked up two tickets to the Keswick on the pre-sale. Looking forward to this!

[Rand Kelly]

The TicketFly tickets were $65 X 2=$130 + fees = $162. for the Crest/Sacramento Show.

I got a single (my wife refuses to go to any more prog catalog artists!) 12th row aisle center section seat for $54 even. not too bad


looking forward to seeing Jon fronting an electric band again.



seeing the first date of the tour in the Philadelphia will be special as well. for all of the APB debacle (completely warranted imo) I'm glad that they'll do at least this one tour. the LP will probably be pretty marginal I suppose. i do not GAF about a reworked/recorded version of the Yes hits.


at all

[zorknapp]

Got tix for the NYC show with presale code (METRO). Front row. I'm intrigued by this band, I didn't do the Kickstarter, but followed the oddities of it closely. Will be curious to see how the music pans out live.

I hope they pull this off.. won't be attending but hope for Jon's sake he can pull off a full tour..

[Dave (in MA)]

I'm probably outside the mainstream of PEers here, because if this was a show by "The Ponty Band" I'd be attending, but if it was a show by "The Anderson Band" I wouldn't bother.

And the other two people I'm going with were hesitant to attend because that guy from Yes will be singing.

[rickawakeman]

Just passed on a 5th row center orchestra seat at Berklee...can't justify $90 plus charges when I just grabbed tickets for Steve Hackett in Albany later that week, plus PFM in Montreal later that month (plus Three Friends in October in Montreal plus Joe Jackson here in town later in November...) Can't do it all on a social worker's salary with twins in their last year of college. Hope those who go enjoy my seat!

[Obscured]

I chose the FREE *pick up at will call* option for my NYC ticket. $3.50 for regular mail? On top of all the other charges too? $95- total as it is.
(Isn't a first class stamp/postage only 49 cents????????)

As of this writing there's no mention of this November date on the Talking Stick Resort site.

I've never attended a Jon solo gig and have no desire to ever do so but with Ponty I'm looking forward to it a lot. I'm guessing quite a number of folks here actually have similar views, but Jon's fans tend to be fairly vocal about all things Yes/Anderson.

The fact that 5th row center orchestra seats are still available 2 days after I got mine can't be an indicator of strong ticket sales.

[progman1975]

Ponty is the draw for me...Sources are saying they are planning another NA tour next summer

I went to one not long after he left Yes. It was enjoyable, and pretty much what I expected. Nothing bad to say about it.

That said, I'd go to this, but I'd be going to the Keswick show - the first on the tour. And I just don't trust this act with my money.

If it gets canceled, you get your money back from the ticket agency.

Yeah, but that's a pain in the ass.

[Dave (in MA)]

I've had tickets for shows that were canceled where Jean-Luc Ponty and Steve Howe were supposed to be playing, but Jon Anderson has always shown up for any show where I was supposed to see him.

[Progatron]

I've avoided this whole thing since its inception, planning to just buy the album through the usual channels once it's actually released.. but suddenly today got the urge to buy tickets to the show! Second row at the Danforth in Toronto... will be a nice Saturday night date for the wife and I!

The Animation tour show was awesome. Some of the shows in the 90s weren't bad, either. But I really am not interested in seeing him without a band and a decent album to support.

Yeah I have a recording from the Animation tour.. Very strong band with him and wonderful setlist..
