Thanks. I always thought Larry Magid was a tech reporter out here in the Bay Area. I guess there's two of him.
And his gushing about Brian Lane (eek), "Owner is my favorite Yes song...", and how wonderful Union was makes me think this project is a very tightly managed and promoted affair. Lots of big business guys running around...
And that tour schedule -- talk about aggressive. Hell, they're playing two shows in the Bay Area (San Jose and San Francisco). I can't recall the last time Yes ever did that.
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
Not sure Jon's voice can handle that schedule.
I think the Anderson-Ponty band was a real test on how Jon's voice will hold up fronting a full band again. Jon was doing the solo acoustic act for quite some time but that wouldn't strain his vocal chords nearly as much as a band. I hope he can hold it together for this. He's been on the road for quite some time now.
I don't understand why they're pushing such a stressful tour. I mean, I get it, money, but wouldn't it be better for everyone (except Magid or Lane) to give Anderson a little break?
I'm excited that Anderson has been so active, but I can't see how he's going to hold up here. His vocals on the Stolt project aren't exactly strong.

This thread kills me. This tour went from being a disaster to being great to being a disaster before the first performance.
"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
I'll go see them at the Beacon---if I can. Does anyone know if this is going to be a mainly Yes west thing----is the set list out anywhere?
Considering that they haven't played a show yet, I don't think any setlists have been reported. But there's no doubt that they'll be out there after the first show.
I'd think that it would be at least 1/3 if not 1/2 YesWest.
