    I'll go to the LA show. But I'll buy tickets at the venue on show night. I'm not giving Ticketmaster $32 in extra fees!

    ^ It's the commodification of every part of the musician's life. Blame capitalism and/or the difficulties making any money from recorded music.

    I hardly think its capitalism, its the internet which has destroyed traditional music sales.

    I know it's heresy to suggest it, but perhaps the music just isn't that good?

    In this case, that's very true too!

    I saw the show in LA last Friday night. It was actually much better than expected. The band was on fire and very tasteful. Most of the Yessongs were arranged differently which was nice, since we've all heard them a million times. Jon played about 100 minutes excluding intermission. The highlights were an amazing rendition of "State of Independence," an acoustic set of Olias songs, and the near-finale of "Starship Trooper" which along with the rear video effects was breathtaking (and included a little Olias surprise within).

    I paid $100 total for two tickets at the window the night of the show. If I had pre-bought, the service would have charged me $172 instead! Then we got upgraded to seats that cost twice as much as that according to the guy sitting next to us.

    The music industry in the 70s and 80s didn't seem too Marxist to me. The funny thing is now millions are sharing music, which is sorta Marxist, right?

    I remember reading years ago one could pay for the pleasure of going inside Conway Twitty's home and ( wait for it) watch him eat breakfast.

    Mine arrived today. I've listened to the digital version so much that I sort of forgot to expect the CD.

    Any short reviews? I can tell by the clips that some songs seem good but wonder why Jon Davison sings on two of them. He does a good job, though, and sounds very similar to Anderson.

    A live performance of Olias is kind of like The Moon Landing! It hasn't been repeated and some believe it never happened!

    I don't know how many people here are still curious about the new 1,000 Hands album who haven't heard it yet. This thorough review will shed a little more insight. Of any of Jon's previous albums, this one probably has the most nods to "Song of Seven".

    Before I say this, I admit it's a little bit nitpicky and I think it's really great that you enjoyed the album. But here you used the phrase, has the most nods to "Song of Seven," and in the article it says, Song of Seven references come in the next two songs. A nod usually contains a musical phrase or a lyric lifted directly from a song. There is a difference between a nod (reference) and that one song puts you in the mind of another.

    Thanks. I'm open to learning more about fine-tuning this distinction. In reflecting now, it looks like I should not have used the word "references" in the article, because there aren't exact specific musical references that are duplicated in the new album from the SoS songs. However, I do think the phrase "nod to" would apply...I would think a "nod to" something would mean: acknowledging an influence. But you seem to be saying that a "nod to" also means a direct musical phrase or lyric that is repeated? I'm not sure that's the case.

    Gave this another good listen over the weekend. I'm a huge Anderson skeptic, but this is very, very good.

    Oh, I bet I'm an even bigger Anderson skeptic than you are but this morning I watched "Ramalala" and grinned thinking I shouldn't like it, but I do.

    Eloquently stated. And Yes, I think you are actually correct that a nod can have a wider definition. It seems the use of "nod" is a little loosey goosey. Usually when I hear the term is when a solo includes a line lifted from another song, the piano solo in Donald Fagan's Ruby starts by lifting the melody from the Kink's "You Really Got Me".

    But an example of your point, I think its fair to say that the Beatles' "Back in the USSR" and Pink Floyd's "The Show Must Go On" are both nods to the Beach Boys style but with no direct quotes.

    I suppose there is a YMMV element to this? I never drew the connection of “First Born Leaders” to “Don’t Forget (Nostalgia)”, or “Makes Me Happy” to “Everybody Loves You", so the use of nod took me by surprise.
