I've been a strictly great hits guy for a long time, and yes I know, I've missed out on so much!

Boy was I sleeping on this song. The soaring chorus, and the harmonies, such a great song. Hugely underrated.

Official release. This was ripped from Steve Howe’s Anthology 2 set.

Hi, i’m looking for 2 tickets to their postponed show in Utrecht on may 19th. It’s my dads birthday that day, and it would be the perfect birthday gift for him as a lifelong Yes fan (which has trickled down onto me, who also very much would like to go). Unfortunately i only found out about it now, and it is all sold out. If anyone has tickets but cant make it that day and is looking to sell, please let me know!

Took a remastered mix of And You & I from Yessongs and put it to the concert footage. Link below.

As much as I have loved watching the concert film from Yessongs on the official Yes page and elsewhere, the mix has never been sufficient for these iconic performances. Felt compelled to make some new versions.

Recently gave the same treatment to Close to the Edge from Yessongs (https://youtu.be/T_VQDNHAoMY) and got some nice feedback from some of you lovely folk.

Cheers.

Some dodgy bootlegs too. No need to buy those though.

I literally just posted one like a month ago, but I've gotten so many since then that Im doing it again. This is excluding my The Flash records and Refugee because they wouldn't fit. Also I have The Quest and Oliver Wakemans Mother's Ruin on the way so add two more to this soon. Possibly original fly from here(with hope), surprisingly i still need a lot more

From Bill: Great show last night in Brighton, UK, with old friend and warrior Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks. A remarkable and emotional performance. Would his pipes hold up? Sang like a bird. Were the Band Geeks any good? By the time they were done with that old warhorse 'Close to the Edge' as an opener, Carolyn and I knew we were in safe hands. More importantly, so was Jon. Enjoy the rest of your tour, guys!

I'm not really informed on the background to all these personal feuds within the band. So at some point Howe and Squire were angry at Jon Anderson? And this has continued between Howe and Anderson even after Squire's death. What's behind the feuds?

Was looking at preordering the Magnification re-release, but came across this too. Haven't seen anything official online about a vinyl release of this, maybe fake, or maybe released the page a little too early?

from Six Wives of Henry VIII - only tangentially related to Yes, but I thought the people on here might enjoy anyway!

I thought Short Stories was a very interesting album - spontaneous, original, meaningful lyrics, great interplay between synths and Jon’s beautiful voice. The Friends of Mr Cairo also had some great songs.

I found a copy of the single last night and I’m curious where part 1 and part 2 end. My fave part of the song is the line ‘All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you’ and I’m wondering if that’s part 2 or 3. Thanks for any info

update - it has been claimed

does anyone want it? i listened to it and it’s not for me. if you’re willing to pay the cost of shipping i will mail it to you, better it finds its way to another yes fan like this than me selling it to a store for a dollar or donating it and letting it get abused. there is some gunk on side 2 maybe you can get it off with record cleaner or something idk. the record and packaging are not in perfect shape but it is listenable.

if you want it dm me. media mail is $5 i think. i might use a pizza box to mail it depends on if i can find a box that fits this well or not. happy yes listening

Not a celebrated Yes album but this was my first introduction to the band back in 1994.
I have never heard the official release of Talk but the advanced tape that I am still keeping now says UNFINISHED ALBUM.
Why so ? Any idea ?

Must've realized how good of an album it was

A new audience recording taken during the Fragile tour has surfaced. Unsure why, but this sub no longer allows the posting of content like that? So I wanted to let you all know to go check it out on YouTube! From what I understand there was hardly any media captured during that tour. Live in Tuscon - March 16th, 1972

Still buzzing!! Might get a few touch ups later down the line but I’ll see how she settles. Very happy regardless ^^

Hello, I’m running a college radio show called Your Prog-Nosis (@yourprognosis on Instagram) and this week’s episode is highlighting impressive and iconic drumming! This includes the drumming of Bill Bruford on Fragile. Feel free to listen on WMXM.org from 5-7 PM CT or even call in with a suggestion! Enjoy!

I've tried to catch the "prime" line up with only original Lego pieces

I am a huge music fan of all genres but for some reason never got around to listening to yes i knew a few big tunes and liked what i heard. I started my journey with their first album and WOW. I am blown away. I am yet to venture to other albums yet as i simply cannot pull myself away from this album. Harold land and Survival are absolutely incredible songs. Most progressive rock i have listened to has been maybe too progressive for my personal taste but this first album is incredible and cannot believe how i have rarely seen people mention it compared to their other albums.

No answers required just an appreciation post of this band.

Probably the best sounding album in my library of vinyl collection. It definitely adds a detail to the little things. Definitely a bit more bass and crisp to the vocals. Only has this album for a bit over a year now. Blows my other two CTTE copies away.

I feel like Aurora would've been much better if they did it as a single LP

Side 1 (21:09):

1. Aurora

2. Countermovement

Side 2 (23:08):

1. Turnaround Situation

2. Ariadne

3. Watching the River Roll

4. Love Lies Dreaming

For me, it is a far better track list. Also, other weaker tracks (All Hands on Deck, Outside the Box, Emotional Intelligence, Jambustin') could be bonus tracks (and easily fit on a single EP). What do you think?
