It is official. I am not allowed to die until I hear Geoff Downes attempt the opening keyboard bit to "Sound Chaser."
Snark aside... he handles the complex keyboard arrangements of "Awaken" just fine, in my opinion. Moraz, however, is such a different animal.
"Arf." -- Frank Zappa, "Beauty Knows No Pain" (live version)
the sequence of albums they are drawing from is only 9 albums, and the first two have no really long songs......seems like it would still fit time-wise if they wanted to do both RITUAL and TGOD....on 2000 Masterworks tour they played 3 epics (CTTE, TGOD, and RITUAL) and that was sharing the bill with KANSAS.
YES will have very little rehearsal time, because both Geoff Downes and Blly Sherwood are tied up with an ASIA tour in June and July....
so it will probably be songs we've heard on previous tours :
Every Little Thing (played in 2004)
Sweet Dreams (played in 2004)
Ritual or TRSOG from TFTO (both played recently)
Don't Kill the Whale (played in 2015)
anything from DRAMA (though probably TEMPUS FUGIT since it is the set-closer)
as for REAYER, someone over at YesFans said they had in fact been rehearsing SOUND CHASER....(Believe It !)

Boone, NC? And no Atlanta or other cities further south? What'd we do to deserve this?

Not go to enough shows previously? The bands, I'm sure, will play wherever will take them. When they don't play somewhere, it's generally because local venues/promoters aren't interested.
Although, having lived in NC, they might just be boycotting it because the weather is so unpleasant that time of year...

Rundgren is coming here (Atlanta) in May, so I don't think he'd come right back on this tour....
Tickets for the Yestival stop in Phoenix at the Celebrity theater go on pre-sale TOMORROW...but one needs a Password. Anyone have it? (This is for purchasing through the Celebrity Box Office, not LiveNation and the other big selelrs).
Thank you in advance!
Pre-sale password for Live Nation is PARTY - this according to a post on the yesfans forum. The pre-sale for non-VIP tickets begins Thursday 4/13 at 10am EDT.

of course days after we finally make some plans to do a road trip and include the LA yestival in our itinerary they add a show in reno. oh well the road trip actually serves a few purposes and reno still isn't all that close to where I live but it is annoying that full itineraries can't be told earlier to make it easier for people to plan appropriately.
funny seeing the same people complain on every facebook post about rundgren being there. it is as if they never realized that they could just show up late or go to the bar while he is on if they really don't like him.
