The ideal release to my mind would be a Progeny II containing one show from each tour through Drama, skipping the Yessongs tour which has been done to death. The holy grail would be a well-recorded show from the solo albums tour if anybody's got one in the vaults.

You're not getting that from TARWNY (They're ARW, Not Yes), eitherTighter playing at gigs and better studioalbums please.

We saw Yes in Reno last September with Jay Schellen on drums and they were tight. Billy and Jay lock in quite well.Tighter playing at gigs and better studioalbums please.
I would agree the tales drama set was the tightest I have ever seen the reformed yes. maybe Jay Schellen has been a help in that regard. so with that in mind I am looking forward to a potential relayer.
And yet, just a few months ago, Mr. Magid said, "Certainly this isn’t Yes. It’s not meant to be even though it’s going to be an evening of Yes music redefined and updated." (from https://www.pollstar.com/news_article.aspx?ID=826387)
Oh this was a competition? Of course I want the same from ARW.

I'd like each iteration of the band to succeed. Who doesn't?

Thanks for posting that. It would be great for someone to read this back to Mr. Magid (or one of the ARWs) and get their response.
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
You'd probably get some mumbo jumbo about "Perpetual Change"

Magid & honesty meet very infrequently.

They could do Yesshows: Ultimate Edition with a complete recording of every concert represented on the original album. That would cover 76-78 really nicely.
But what I would most like to see would be a full length concert released from the YesWest period.

Well apparently Steve actually said on the cruise that they're going to release a Progeny type set from the Union tour and that they have six shows. Politically, it seems a bizarre thing to do considering that a second Union is being denied almost daily. Anyway... So long as I get Denver 1991 with the complete video footage I'm glad!
that seems a bit superfluous as there really wasn't much change between the gigs on that tour. represented well by the live sets that have been released
I'd love to hear the one off of Close to the Edge tho, that's for sure. Lake Placid I think . . .
and they did Take the Water once or twice, yeah?

At least once.
Heh.
2:21, Jon, "no Tony, not yet."
2:24, Jon, "Okay, now."
First off, this thread should be titled "Two Versions Of YES Touring in 2017!" I am ecstatic that there is so much YES going around. In fact I'm gonna just call them both YES.
Why can't they both use Dean designed stages? They're both YES. Won't they both be celebrating their 50th anny's?
I hope this happens even more so now. They're both calling themselves YES so it shouldn't matter who was or wasn't in the band when the album was released/recorded. Relayer is a YES album, so both YES' should be able to play it. I bet Wakeman has tinkered with the opening of SC and the battle portion of GOD many times over the past 40 years, would love to hear howe he interprets that album. Trevor would have a kick-ass solo on SC and I'm sure Steve would kick his solo in SC up a notch too. Imagine the "Which Jon "cha-cha-cha's" better" thread! I think everyone knows Jon will "cha-cha-cha" better than Jon.
THIS. I'm a gonna love them both this summer/fall regardless of the bitching and moaning over who's in which YES and which YES is/isn't the real YES around here. It's all about the music and I've enjoyed all the shows I've seen so far from both YES'. Another reunion would be fitting.
They denied Geddy was going to perform with them too. Peace on Earth and goodwill to all YES'. We're not getting any younger and this should/could happen still.

Yes should call itself Asia featuring Steve Howe.
I am still kind of giddy at this news. I was hoping for Union Lite with Anderson, Howe, Rabin, Wakeman, White and Sherwood, but ARW is the best consolation prize I could possibly get and the rebranding to include the Yes moniker is totally the icing on the cake.

Denver 1991 came out a long time ago on the Union Live Deluxe Edition. Or maybe it wasn't the complete footage? It looked complete to me but I haven't watched it in a few years.
I would love that.
Maybe an early gig, where they played Starship Trooper and City Of Love... I recall both were dropped very early on.

Yes, it's essentially bonus footage, though. As I recall, the audio could use some work.
...but we could have a jolly good try by just refusing to participate in this nonsense.
Asia will be at Yestival, but they won't be at Yestival.
