Howe fanboy here, but if we were going to get more like "The Calling" and "Endless Dream," I wouldn't have been upset with Rabin and Kaye being around after 1994. Talk's definitely the height of Rabin-era Yes, and a highlight of Yes overall. What a great album!
I don't think they'd even say that... I've seen/heard Chris talk not nicely about Talk.
As for me, I'm a fan of all eras of YES, of course I have favorite periods/lineups.
Talk isn't my favorite, but I like to hear it occasionally.
Jon Anderson is my favorite singer ever. I'm a huge fan of his work. What a genius!
This was my first concert ever!
How old were you (if you don't mind me asking, that is)? I was 15 when I saw mine (Ozzy Osbourne, Diary of a Madman Tour, May 1982).
1994 was a pivitoal year for me- a friend of my brother's had the tape...yes Tape of Talk and brought it over when we were hangin out playing videogames towards the end of the year and I really liked the sound (born in 79 I only knew of Yes from the song Owner of a Lonely Heary from the Radio) I picked up this album and Union and really liked what I heard but I wouldn't know the full extent of Yes until 1995 when my friend Brian lent me Yessongs, promising it will show you the True Power of Yes. I saw the length of songs and was like "well - I will put it on in the background while I play SNES." About two minutes into Close to the Edge (I put on CD 2 first) I stopped playing and stared at my boombox in disbelief of the magic I was hearing - I picked up all their albums up to that point and the VHS of Yesyears and they remain my favorite band. It was an honor to see them in 1996 outside of a Fox Morning show in 1997 and 1999 at the Beacon in NyC, in 1998 at Jones Beach Ny and at MSG in 2004 - I decided (even before the exile of Jon and passing of Chris) that would be my last time to see them. It was an experience that can never be topped.
.
I was born 11/24/56 ;)
I saw them 9 times all before Union. I was so blown away by Relayer, I went to the Friday and Saturday evening shows.
I will take back everything I said against Howeless Yes this is superb all band members enjoying themselves.
Enjoyment is somewhat because it is Howeless.
You don't like Steve Howe?
@@tonusaitis Howe is one of the all time greats in progressive rock. We won guitarist of the year five years in a row when Guitar Player Magazine had their annual readers poll. This said, he’s slowed down quite a bit and his version of Yes is only fair imo. His sound from Yessongs to any recent live release is a shell of the former self. There’s no fire, tempos are slowed and everything sounds processed.
The stuff about his control freak tendencies may be true also however, Howe and Yes gave us some spectacular music that’s relevant today. He’d do ok to have some dental work and have the grape-sized mole on his face removed though.
@@evankeal why would someone say cynical things 'bout such a loving band ?!! if we were talkin' bout rick, he'd be laughin' up his sleeve at the mere comment, but good ol' howe?! - my keyboard's broken, sorry
@@pablobartkevicius So Howe was the laid back fun guy in Yes? Actually I dont think I know what point if any you were making but I assume it was in disagreement.
I was at that show. It was great. I will never forget being there.
Yes brought this tour thru Nashville. Just another excellent Yesshow! One of the encore songs was Purple Haze. Very sweet! I like the Talk album. Has some great cuts on it. Jon's voice is wonderful as usual. RIP Chris Squire....
Tony Kaye really bringing it. Glad he got a long second period, 11 years, 4 records & tours.
He really is outstanding on this. The whole band sound great. Also, perhaps the best I've heard Alan White with this line up. He sounds so solid and energetic here.
Some people gripe about Trevor and I don't get it. Heart of the Sunrise rocks here. Great show. Thanks for posting!
The best band ever I will always love yes I follow them since I was 6, now I am 23
This is pure Gold. Pure Awesomeness!👍
GREAT "Endless Dream" here.
Excellent!!! RIP: Chris Squire.
One of the most polished Yes tours of them all. I don’t think White ever sounded better. They clearly worked at making this special.
I was at this show, opening night. It was a beautiful day, but hot as hell. Band had to have an intermission because it was so hot, the arena was even sweating. Remember tailgating and myself and my brother having a friendly argument with a couple fans on who was better, Trevor Rabin or Steve Howe. We were Trevor guys because we got into Yes in the 80’s. I’ve since come to appreciate Howe and those 70’s albums, but Trevor was a monster musician. What was great about this lineup was Trevor’s voice and what that brought to the table. He and Chris complimented Jon so much with their background vocals. Not too many bands that existed that had three voices like that in a band, amazing.
Trevor is sooooooo underrated in the YesWorld
Talk is still a favorite album.. so glad I saw this tour
Damn I missed this tour. I thought I’d seen them all. Absolutely up to the standards of any Yes group! Love it! Best Band EVER!
This tour was the absolute summit of the Rabin - era Yes shows.
Fabulous concert ! Thèse musiciens really are out of this world !
My first Yes concert ever was one of the Talk Tour ! I was only 10! :D
Thanks a lot for posting this. I saw this tour at its Orlando stop. Fantastic!
Me too!
I was at that show!! And the next night in Jacksonville, where I won a meet & greet with Yes!!
Great show!! Thanks for upload it!!!
I never seen this tour. I often wondered what they looked and sounded like. thx for posting
Great stuff! Wonderful sound quality. Thanks for posting.
You're joking, right?
No, I'm not.
For an audience video it is very good quality. Vocals and all instruments are clear.
I think the Concertsonics FM audio was put over the video track, hence the good quality.

thank you
Love this show. It's awesome.
Saw this show in St. Louis. “Hearts” was a highlight. So good man
I was at this show... remembering the regret of not going downtown after the show for a beer...then only to arrive at work the next day to see my friend’s chest adorned by Chris Squire’s signature....WTF...and he didn’t even know who Chris was. Seeing this was a blast...their first show on that tour. Binghamton had a lot of those...thanks for the memories...
was such a good track... such a shame the whole of 'Talk' disappeared from history, some songs did deserve a lot more. When the album came out I didn't even know it had been released and found it well hidden in my local store here in Scotland. The album rocked me and gave me a true life boosting feeling... I was just 21 but had spent my whole childhood delving into the '70s whilst I was going through the '80s quite bored to be honest. I had been listening to all sorts of music coming out of a period of time spanning from 1968 to 1983, thus covering also my early years as a 'toddler listener' when The Police were my favourites... Yes came along as other bands, but by 1994 I did think they had called it a day. Such a surprise...
BEYOND HEAVENLY - THIS WHOLE SHOW! Trevor's guitar is orgasmic, as is Jon's voice. EUPHORIA! 🌱🍾🥂🌱🙏🌈🙏🎈🎉🎈🎉
Talk might be my favorite album ever. I loved it so much that I was convinced for many years that I saw this tour - but I don’t think I actually did. Back then, it was blasphemy to every Yes fan I knew to adore Trevor Rabin. I’m so glad that’s only true of a percentage of fans today and I can openly say it 😂 I like all Yes music but these years are my favorite.
We love us some Yes !!!! Thank you for sharing! Beautiful stuff!!
just to see, how Chris Squire plays here at the beginning of "Heart of the Sunrise" (56:06) is great. RIP
rest his merry soul
Trevor truly is a treasure.. anyone who loves yes.. and they're eclectic amazing musical creations.. knows that when they change up band members periodically to give some arrest they always seem to please and give you their all.. love this band so much from the first moment I experienced them back in 1968. Thank you very much for posting a true treasure.. crank up the clips the bills are the best four in a room.. with two pair of fortes in the middle.. will fry everything on your griddle.. the Sonic assumption of yes is apparent.. fill a Balboa grab your Bic lighter sit back and your mind will be lighter
Thanks so much! Very enjoyable!!
Saw Yes live for the first time on this tour. Great stuff..... Just on a side note. Billy Sherwood is up on stage with Yes here. he is up behind Alan for most of the show playing guitar, keys and singing. Just incase you wanted to add him to the band line up on the description page :-)
I keep trying to tell people that Sherwood was playing guitar and keys, and backing vocals on this tour, and some people tell me he was playing bass. I guess they just assume since he played bass in world trade!
@@jaminjef
Why on earth would, Billy Sherwood be playing bass, When Chris Squire is on stage.
Noooo not happening.
@@Atom-56 Well, Julie, I found out I was wrong, at least for one part of one song. All through the show he is mostly a 2nd guitarist, and maybe some small bits on keys. And of course backing vocals. But if you look real close on the intro to Endless Dream he indeed does grab his bass and do dueling basses with Chris. And it was Chris who invited him to do that!
I really like Talk. This was a great tour. Everyone played incredibly. Highlights would be Heart of the Sunrise and Endless Dream. FOREVER YES!!!
Thanks for posting this - great to see another 'Talk' show
+Graham Clews I agree. I just happen to see this in the side menu and it's just wonderful, so thanks NothingIncarnate. I will play this one again and again I'm sure.
thank you for this immense gift, talk tour the last time with this sound before 2016, so rock trascendental and loveable mystic
Endless dream puts me in some other dimension, like ctte, awaken, ritual... So underrated.
In the early 70 s yes was a first love 4 me always perpetual changing if you seen it then you were yes d I was yes d 4 ever look up over the horizon of the oceans you will see its creation...love will find a way to your heart...
Raymond
I attended 3 Talk shows-
3 days after this one at the Allentown Fairgrounds;
August, Spectrum, Philadelphia;
PNC-Arts center Holmdel,N.J. September 1994.
Great concert each one of them- 27 years ago!
I was there with my band mate and good friend Paul. I grew up in Kirkwood and went to windsor hs. Chris is my bass hero. Glad I got to see him that day. Miss you chris.
This tour was one of their most underrated. They performed very well, were very tight with perhaps the best live group vocals I've heard of any Yes incarnation. Had a really cool light show, too.
The crowds were smaller than usual on this tour. I think a lot of longtime hardcore Yes fans were disappointed that Howe, Wakeman, and Bruford were no longer involved in the band after the Union Tour a few years earlier and didn't go to the Talk Tour shows. I thought it was an injustice to the band considering the overall quality of the shows on this tour and they deserved bigger audiences.
When _Talk_ came out in 1994, a lot of arena rock acts felt like the rug was being pulled out from under them. Alternative rock had become rock's primary direction, and bands like Yes were being made to feel antiquated and passé. _Talk_ and the supporting tour had a lot working against it-not only did Yes have to contend with drastic changes in the marketplace, but also, the recording suffers from unevenness and a shortage of really strong material.
I believe it was their worst selling album in quite a while. After the Union tour, I think a lot of fans were disappointed they went back to the 90125 lineup. I was.
I was disappointed too, but I bought the album anyway. I was pleasantly surprised.
I thought Yes Talk was better than 90125 and Generator. Very good album
Talk is one of my fav :)
superb job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done sir!
I was there. The Arena had no AC and it was super hot. They rehearsed in Binghamton for a week. They performed great but there were some flubs. You could get a sense that things were fresh and they were still working on a few things. The sound as fantastic - using a quad system with speakers in the back of the Arena, This seemed to cancel out the usual echo that this style of building gives you.
wonderful excelsum !!!!!!!!!!! thank you sooo much for sharing it !!!!!!!!!
maybe excelsium lol
Just found this. I'm 60 years old and have seen hundreds of concerts from arena's in Europe (U2, Coors) to small houses and even pool shows here in Vegas (Lana, Foster the People). This was my first show ever at 17 years of age. Priceless. If they give you one website only...youtube.
My favorite Trevor era album. I can see why he felt he went as far as he could in Yes after this album.
I think there were other forces besides that, but musically I can see his point.
The forces in play in those days though, the Yesfan base was somewhat divided, to go back to the Yeswest lineup after the era of ABWH and the promise of Union seemed a bit anticlimactic. Fans were pushing for of the classic feel of Yes. The Talk album seemed like (and it was) basically a Trevor Neo-prog album with a a bit of a tinny sound, and a de-emphasis of Chris Squire on it. Not a collaborative Yes effort. ( true, but I like Talk as well). (also Trevor felt that the Victory label did not promote the album properly). For the Talk tour Yes were still playing in Arena's but they were half full at best. Yes magazine wrote an article called "Change they Must" referring to this, and soon after the tour Yes reformed with the 70's lineup for the SLO show, did 70's type "Keys Studio" music, and that led to quite a good 96-04 era for Yes.
I agree though the album was good - the band was great on this tour.
Saw it at the Gorge in George, Washington state. What a concert!
I saw them in viña del mar chile ...great show and performance
The dvd Live in Chile is AWESOME!
Killer video and audio.
Beautiful
I think I aged 6 years waiting for them to finally begin!
I saw them on this tour at Madison Square Garden. They were supposed to play in June or July but it got rescheduled, so I had to come home from college to go to the show. My most vivid memory from it was the bit where a bit column of white cloth dropped down in the middle of the stage and people were floating in it - maybe even Jon Anderson? I'm sure it's somewhere in this video. But it was a great show, and part of my Classic Rock Summer - I also saw Rush and Pink Floyd that year.
Wow Jon looked so different those days, never seen him play drums while he was singing, pretty cool!
Tony Kaye kicking some ass!
Well Done!!!!
My dad saw this show and Pink Floyd's Division Bell tour in the same week with a broken leg, just before having to go for surgery. Says it was the only thing that got him through the surgery and recovery.
I have this bootleg on CD..... it kicks some serious ASS 👍
R.I.P. MR SQUIRE🌹🌹🌹
1:56:34 best song
In my opinion this is the best Yes of all time because they played like a band together. I said same thing about ARW Yes and Jon put his ego away nothing against Steve my opinion as band Trevor played just as good
94 WAS GREAT. TALK & 90125! Trevor fills the bills. Just Don't forget the UNION TOUR! ...IF YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE THERE!✨💟🙏🙌🌠👍
Gary,no apology necessary,Trevor Refreshed our Dinasour and made it relative again,Love/Peace
This concert sounds really powerful, very rocky. Jon's voice is at the highest. The end of the song "Talk" is fabulous, great guitar solo by Trevor 2:16:04 , as it should have been in the record studio.
On my 3rd Viewing, lol. is that Tony Kay? the original Yes keyboardist? always reminds me of Paul Shafer, LOL Love this concert upload thanks, Love Yes (up to this point at least)
You forgot Billy Sherwood on second guitar up behind Alan. He did 3 tours '94-'99 and came back again after Chris "departed".
and he made open your eyes
BTW the sound on this is very good…cant remember if this is the same gig as the Endless Dream boot i have…hearing the vocal seperation at times is incredible…biased trevor fan here but some incredible moments…
This is the last tour with Trevor Rabin.
is there anyway to get this at a higher resolution? Like 720 or 1080? Thanks. It's a great show.
It's really good to see this live show from 1994. But what is Billy doing, I can't hear him
Una grande prova della formazione di Talk.Tutti in grande forma.Qui si intravede Billy Sherwood che, attualmente, suona al posto di Squire.Talk fu un grande album che ,purtroppo, non fu ben promosso dalla etichetta del gruppo.Sicuramente è un lavoro, in grande parte , composto da Rabin però il resto del gruppo riuscì a dare il tocco"Yes" facendolo diventare a tutti gli effetti un lavoro del gruppo. Chissà ,se ci fosse stato Wakeman,cosa sarebbe successo. Forse sarebbe stata la formazione più scintillante dagli anni 90 ad oggi.Aspetto con fiducia l'album di Anderson,Rabin Wakeman......non mi aspetto un miracolo ma sarà sicuramente un ottimo lavoro con tutte le caratteristiche del marchio Yes.........aspettiamo fiduciosi
Anyone else notice that Jon Anderson is strumming the same chord ALL throughout "The Calling"?
is that Billy Sherwood in the shadows?
YES!
Man...Alan White was at the TOP of his game here. I saw 2 shows on this tour. Anderson is kinda chubby.....lol
Oh yeah....Lots of back ground vocals added in on the mix Which means they may have been triggered by someone off stage or they were playing to a sequencer or something. Not easy to pull off by any means......
Yeah Jon had gained a significant amount of weight in the early/mid 90's. I heard somewhere that at the time he was taking a lot of steroid medication for pain management.
Oh yeah - they were triggering vocals all the way back during the 90125 tour.
Jon broke his back fixing Christmas lights and was taking steroids.
I read somewhere that Alan used to trigger some samples from the drums. Also possible Tony did, or Billy.
rest in peace alan white
This is the best sounding footage from this tour even more superior to the Japan (official?) footage
What's going on with the video. and sound. Generally both are great, but a minute later- sound - no video, then great video , bug static in the sound - finally it straightens out.
It was in quad also
Surround sound thanks to Trevor.
I think Billy was in this lineup
Saw them twice on this tour. Their last great tour imo. But...in Real Love, what's a sklee? "Get the sklee as it slowly turns" lol
1:12:50 Kicking ass time!!!
Where are you Steve, and your guitar?
He was touring solo in 1994
3rd show of the tour
My former hometown. First for sure. I saw the Tampa show. Quadraphonic
sound on the tour I believe.
Madison Square Garden was supposed to be the first stop but chose Binghamton instead, Why I'm not sure but they did work out some kinks at this show so it was a wise move.
Anyone want to venture a guess why Fish flipped off Alan White at 2:13:30 ??
there's going to be two forms of yes again with anderson, rabin, wakeman; but i wish anderson; and davison would trade places, having anderson go back to yes; and have the new band be davison rabin, wakeman.
That's not likely, when Jon Anderson had to go on medical leave, yes didn't wait for him. The decent bandmates postpone their tour until their frontman returns, because Jon's amazing voice is an instrument. As important as the others. The only Yes vocalist that was decent was Trevor Horne. He did not try to sound like Jon, nor did "Drama" try to sound like classic Yes. Horne and Downes put their Buggles thumbprint on that album and it was a fresh change until the 90125 lineup formed, another change in style , but again, all sounding great. In fact the Drama tour is the only post 1974 tour I wish I'd seen, even though Horne wasn't well received.
To address your comment though, Alan White isn't as polished, Billy Sherwood sounds like he's doing a good job on bass, and not trying to be the showman the late Chris Squire was.his bass was a lead instrument. So it gets down to Yes now being the Steve Howe show. I'm glad Jon is
In the lineup. Curious to hear their new project.
that pretty much covers it. i agree when a founding member who not only is the lead singer;but songwriter as well gets ill,you don't permanently replace him. jon was willing to return if they would've asked. from what i heard jon say in an interview was that none of the yes members even came to see him in the hospital;or phoned him. not exactly a way to treat someone you've worked with for over 40 years.
Why? Please expound upon the comment...
simply because anderson;and howe is classic yes being together they wrote most of the classic yes material along with the late chris squire. in other words if there's going to be a yes at all it should be with jon anderson on vocals. trevor rabin could rejoin along with wakeman too;and it would be like when they did the union album. not sure where davison would fit in to the mix ? maybe co lead singer;and guitar ?
Co.lead singer?
Rabin owns it = go to 1:32:32
John Demarkis absolutely
28:15 HEARTS,
GREAT INTRO...
1:07:14 CINEMA
1:40:40 WHERE WILL BE TO BE
they only played three songs?
Endless Dream. when the world brings you down, have faith Squire and Trump were both heaven sent. ✨
Ugh. Don't make me vomit. Trump is a whiner and a loser.
So, Jon's "playing guitar", but his hands don't move while the chords are changing... :)
it's a magic guitar!
not my yes
Same for me.
Having seen Yes perform 20 times in the 70s and Drama line up in 1980.
Then the 80s Yes happened and although there were still 4 English guys in this line up, I always saw the Trevor Rabin line up, as the American
Version of Yes and the Steve Howe line up as the English version.
Dissapointing intro especially compared to Firebird Suite.
Nowadays Howe cannot play.
I love Yes...the real pre-'79 band...but Jon looked like a fat chick back then...and Donny Osmond on guitar? Seriously, I miss Chris...even though he & Greg Lake really let themselves go...but Chris lost his mind when he conscripted frigging BUGGLES to fill out the line-up!!
The trib band calling itself Yes makes me sad. I wish JonD would play bas for ARW and sing harmonies with JonA...maybe they could t attempt some Olias Live?
Rabin does look like Donny Osmond.
Sorry, but: Boring intro, boring show. That is not Yes on stage, it is the Trevor Rabin rock band. And this band is just mediocrely. There are six musicians on stage (not five), but all the lights on Trevor.
My first Yes show: Westfalenhalle Dortmund, Germany on April 16th, 1974 (Tales from Topographic Oceans Tour).
My best Yes concert (cuz I stood very very close to Chris) at the famous Hohentwiel Fortress Ruins/Germany on July 17th, 2003.
The most impressive Yes show for me: Yes Symphonic in the famous Gewandhaus/Leipzig, Germany on November 10th, 2001.
Wollenschrank go back to listening to Justin Bieber!
To say, that this line-up wasn't Yes wouldn't do them justice. Up until 1981 we already had Yes changing their line-up six times:
1968-70: Jon Anderson/Peter Banks/Bill Bruford/Tony Kaye/Chris Squire
1970-71: Jon Anderson/Bill Bruford/Steve Howe/Tony Kaye/Chris Squire
1971-72: Jon Anderson/Bill Bruford/Steve Howe/Chris Squire/Rick Wakeman
1972-74: Jon Anderson/Steve Howe/Chris Squire/Rick Wakeman/Alan White
1974-76: Jon Anderson/Steve Howe/Patrick Moraz/Chris Squire/Alan White
1976-80: Jon Anderson/Steve Howe/Chris Squire/Rick Wakeman/Alan White
1980-81: Geoff Downes/Trevor Horn/Steve Howe/Chris Squire/Alan White
Not to mention that the line-up on 90125, "Big Generator" and "Talk" had three founding members, more than on "Relayer" or "Drama".
Ruined once again by Sherwood and Rabin.
LOL the guy who saved the band from obscurity and wrote some of their best tunes "ruined" them. He certainly wrecked Steve Howe, if that's what you're trying to say ;)
Howe is a wanker
Looks like your comment ruined dozens of Yes enthusiastic true Yes fans- go listen to Ted Nugent- now you're talking ruin
Howe is a dick!
LOL Boo fucking hoo
Meh…cut the 15 minute elevator music in the beginning…too much synth which makes it sound like garbage…hope you asked for your money back…
