ARW- Anderson Rabin Wakeman Official Announcement

[Innerviews]

What are presale codes for SF and SJ?

[2steves]

Meh...was never excited about Rabin, and IMO YES was not the prog YES that I knew and loved during his era. Now, everyone sing..."Owner of a stinky fart."

Yeah agree--Yes west doesn't hold up at all--I heard the best of it on Sirius deep tracks---Hearts---and even that wasn't too good. The guitar parts ordinary.
Not like I remembered it. Rabin isn't even in my top 25 great guitarists ---so it is what it is but I may go see them if I am free.

[zumacraig]

OK....you're convincing me. you're right about the Fox...great setting for a show.

You guys in Atlanta? I'm up in the air about this show. Going to the Fox in a few weeks for Brigfloyd.

I'm now expecting something sort of like the ABWH tour, but without the new music,

I bet they play at least one new song and maybe two. There is no way they are going to tour without at least ten minutes of new music.

No codes AFAIK. The presale starts Thursday, so I think as long as you're a Live Nation subscriber they give you access.

Went to the box office today and saved that extra twenty something dollars in fees. Had checked availability on Ticketbastards first and noticed a 15th row seat for $129 and bought it in person. Strangely too, the seats right next to me are $305 each. But, it includes a "collectable" laminate. Whatever...

So now I check and the seats next to me are also $129, as are seats in the 9th row on the other side; tickets for seats in the 8th row are $550** each! Also of note, only 2 front row package seats remain at a mere $750* per ticket.

**HOT SOUND PACKAGE:
. One (1) premium reserved ticket
. Priority check-in and entrance
. Invitation to private sound check
. Access to the pre-show reception:
o specially selected appetizers
o complimentary wine, beer, and assorted soft drink selection
. Crowd-free merchandise shopping (where available)
. Merchandise item designed and created exclusively for package purchasers
. Collectible laminate to remember your evening
. Onsite check-in staff

*FRONT ROW MEET & GREET PACKAGE includes One front row reserved ticket, Priority check-in and entrance, Meet & Greet with Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman, Photo opportunity with Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman, Invitation to private sound check, Access to the pre-show reception: specially selected appetizers & complimentary wine, beer, and assorted soft drink selection, Crowd-free merchandise shopping (where available), Merchandise item designed and created exclusively for package purchasers, and more!

I'm trying to Imagine what Lindsay Cooper would think of $750 tickets that would allow "crowd free merchandise shopping".

[Innerviews]

Damn, I need me some crowd-free shopping (where available) and two-buck chuck.

Good one. Perhaps "That's what you get for puking on your grand piano and thus flunking at the RCM, while finishing with A degrees sees me composing serious art musics, reaching substantial merit and accolade yet making little money. Alas 'pop music' is and will always be about the dough."

Trivia time! Who was the first member of Yes to finish a music degree?

Answer later...

[Sunlight Caller]

I'll say Bruford, didn't he recently graduate?

So there's no new album coming soon then.

Actually is rather them take the time to do something good instead of rushing out material just for the tour.

The first member of Yes who had finished any degree was Moraz, although his was in economics or something.

The first member of Yes who had finished a music degree was Downes.

"rushing out" doesn't seem like quite the right term for a project that is 6 years and 5 months old...

PhD in music, yes (university of surrey, UK) – as a retired silver student!

With Jon involved it is.

Yeah! Come on down for ARW!

[zumacraig]

Yeah! Come on down for ARW!

Very cool. I'll touch base when I get a ticket. Maybe a pre-show meet up. Good to know there's some ATL folks here.

[Sean]

PE is Atlanta born. It all started here back in '99! Yeah, lets make that happen!

[Guitarplyrjvb]

That Classic Rock interview with Wakeman.......we have David Bowie to blame for "Journey to the Center of the Earth"????

Henry, I thought I read way back (Hedges?) that Tony Kaye was in a music program somewhere as a youngin (RCM?). I guess he never graduated?

[gearHed289]

I like where they're going with this. As much as I'm dying for new material, I want it to be right. I think the tour will do them a ton of good. In this day and age of "sending files back and forth", as convenient as that is, there's just something missing. Jamming in a room together, face to face, cannot be replaced. The potential for magic, and capturing "lightning in a bottle" with these guys is too great to risk missing out on.

Any info on pre-sale codes for Chicago?

I take it back, Anil. The presale code for SF is LEGEND. Here's the link again.

You know musicians can Skype. I've taken some great jazz lessons from some great players on Skype.
