This sounds odd but, still reminds me of the first and last time I saw them Live. The first was totally exceptional TFTO Tour 1974 in Montreal with the classic lineup and the last was 2016 during the Topographic Drama tour in Saratoga CA. They each have great memories and have great moments, love it! Thanks for sharing🙂
No no no no no, why??! I grew up with Yes music. I really love it and it shaped my relationship with music and the way I make music. But this. Why? You are breaking my heart. For real.
"What happened to this song we once knew so well?"
I had doubts about the vocals in the first half of the show, but this section was worth the admission cost alone. I'd booked elsewhere as original Albert hall gig clashed with Solstice, but missed that show due to illness, so bought ticket on the day for last show of tour. Damn glad I did ..... of course I was at QPR 50 years ago to hear them play Ritual
@@mrsmokeybear I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I don't generally have a lot of good things to say about this Yes line-up, but I'm glad to hear that fans like you are enjoying the shows. Even if I'm not enamored with their performances, I'm glad that Steve Howe and company are keeping Yes music alive.
@@Paul71H Look up Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks. They are everything this clown show isn't. SH is a victim of his past greatness. It's almost painful.
@@doughaas536 I saw JA and the Band Geeks last summer, and I have a ticket for one of their upcoming shows. Like you, I would much prefer to see them than to see this Howe/Downes/Sherwood/etc. lineup.
@@Paul71Hwhat happened to this song we once knew so well
Diese Band hat mit meiner Lieblings Band YES nichts mehr zu tun 😢😢😢😢😢
I hope Jon is watching this and having a good chuckle. What he is doing with the Band Geeks wipes the floor with what these idiots are doing. Hang your ego up and walk away Mr Howe.
Still now, I like them very much.
Two Yes legends have passed and All of us are still lucky to have Steve Howe above ground. I dont know what happened but I saw them last month in Tampa and Jon Davidson sounded 10x better than this. I'm looking forward to see Jon Anderson and the band Geeks soon. IMO they sound better than Howe's version of Yes. Thru time, We've had different versions of Deep Purple, Kiss, VH, Priest, Journey and etc. I always try to look at the bright side-It is what it is.
Le plus grand album de Yes POUR MOI
Gracias Yes ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really like this version ❤
This sucks
Go and get treatment for your ears.
I'm glad I went to the show, this was worth the admission price alone
@@5qob Those of us who made the effort to attend loved it
@@mrsmokeybear That's fine to each their own. You heard the Music of Yes, not Yes itself, there's a difference. My ears tell me this is not Yes.
Hell yeah!!!
Their Close to the Edge 50th anniversary tour had sounded shit on youtube but their actual live performance turned out to be much better (at least to me) if not as good as one could expect. Hoping for the same with the Tales tour.
Bloody hell.
mieux que rien, tout simplement!!
OMG . Ive been a fan for 55Years . What has happened to the best band ever . Its a real shame.
Totally agreed go check out Jon and the Bandgeeks! Incredible!!
I saw the 1978-79 Tormato tour and the 1991 "reunion of 8" tour. I think I'm good. Oy.
oy
Agreed
Stop crying in comments, enjoy that you have, or just skip it
Been a YES fan since 1971, I’m the same age as the guys, and have witnessed many changes over the years, but this is the last straw.
This isn’t YES, I’ve seen true YES tribute bands, and they have been better than this.
I thought they were great in London recently - this number a highlight.
Oh. I thought this was video with Yes. My mistake.
The quality of the recording is really messing up with the song. I liked the shorter medley version -- I always found the album to be too long and without enough ideas. Davidson did better than I expected.
So many people make excuses citing the quality of recording. Rather, it's the quality, or lack thereof, of the musicians that have been for years now bastardizing the name Yes. Retire the name, then this has some respectability. Nothing about this represents Yes in any way, shape, or form.
Decent Yes vibe. I remember this was a hard one to wrap my head around. At times the lack of forward motion made it seem directionless. Modern classical music is the same with its attack on tonality.
You have to play this music into shape in front of your audience.
Drums a re not right :((((
One word. Why?
Always a pleasure guitar wise, but come on guys, play your new material.
Why all the negative? For as old as these guys are and without Chris they sound very good.
Because this is not Yes. If it was called anything other than Yes it would be fine and I might be open to seeing them. But under the Yes name, no, I'm good.
who is flat on harmony???
This reminds me of a CD skipping.
This is so wro,wro,wro,wro, wrongggggg.....ggggggg.
This is a Vegas style medley of Topographic Oceans by a mostly cover band that sounds great.
What is hoped by Steve?
?
OMG this is butchering one of the greatest prog albums of all time. And who the hell is singing so flat? As great as Billy Sherwood is, it's hard to believe he is willing to have anything to do with this fiasco. Come on Steve, call it anything but Yes. How about 'Yes Reimagined'? That would at least be honest.
What happened to this song we knew so well!
1) Steve can’t play his parts the same anymore. 2) Geoff never could play the classic Yes pieces. 3) Billy is singing flat. 4) Jay is following Steve’s tempos, which means to slow down when the really chops-heavy parts come around. 5) Jon is doing great, but he’s SO NOT “Jon.” Also, he’s showing the same signs of vocal fatigue that ended Benoit David’s run with the band.
I have long suggested calling this band Yes Reimagined. It sure isn't Yes. Jon's new music and shows with The Band Geeks is 10,000% better than this slow tempo, partially off key destruction of once great Yes music. If you don't have Jon Anderson, your band isn't Yes. Jon is proving that again on his current tour with Band Geeks, just like he did with ARW.
Bruford retired years ago. Wakeman might be next. Jon and Steve don’t get along.
Wakeman is literally on his farewell tour right now
@@davidw5993 Is he wearing ice skates for his swan song?
…and Chris is preoccupied in heaven.
The Yes low cost!!! 😂.... Voices..... Aiiiiii... You have to work again.
Nice to see the band playing some of "The Remembering". But this sounds only average and Yes never was an average band. Time to retire, guys.
wow... time for a name change to NO... this falls flat...
Pas top le son.
This was meh...pick one side and do the whole thing...or how about the 14 minute title track to the NEW ALBUM? No confidence in the new music?
Respect for your past achievements but Steve this is no where near good enough
Horrible vocals, slow-paced effort and zero energy ! Why Howe believes this has anything to do with the band he joined in 1971 is anybody's guess. There'll be no reunion of any sort, so . . . if you want the real YES vibe, go see Jon Anderson & the Band Geeks.
So sad......
This is just a shame - how could you call this project "YES"? I remember YES. This is less than a pale memory. YES were a tight band, producing a much stronger energy, a much finer woven music.
Exactly what I think!!!
Geeze!! Shame on you Steve!! All the power to you if you want to tour with this Yes cover band. But please have some respect for what I think is the greatest group ever!! Change the name to Steve Howe doing Yes music. This is false advertising and tarnishes the Yes legacy!! I'm amazed that any true Yes fan can find this enjoyable.
So disjointed so slow so awful. The singer can't make it and Howe is so sloppy.Whats happened to the drumming?
@@stevegrant4325Harmonies don’t work either.
Wholeheartedly agree!!! Steve has ruined the name Yes!!! I might be open to seeing this if it called anything other than Yes. Howe should follow Steve Hackett's example with his Genesis Revisited tours.
@@5qob Hackett should go back to playing his solo material. he's been revisiting his former band twice as long as he was with them. much of his solo material surpasses Genesis.
@@ohmtronseedling Hackett has slowly phased in more of his solo material at his shows in recent years. I saw him this year, and it was one set of Hackett originals, one set of Genesis, and then a Genesis encore.
Lord these haters are so sad.”Back in my day….”💩
Ironic that in early Yes all these players would be replaced with more talented players.
No No No. They've butchered such a great piece of music, long and adventurous, which here seems at best an ugly hodgy podgy pop song of the 70s. Then the fact they play the right notes doesn't mean they're playing that masterpiece. It hurts my ears. Please stop. The Ancient guitar solo is also a mess, slow and without deepness. Let aside the vocals. Please stop.
My one time guitar god, obviously doesn't give a fuck! He.must see this criticism on social media platforms. Jon Davidson can't sing,Jay Schelling,Wtf
This is not yes , singer sings out of tune rest is just poor of sound.
Awful.
Terrible
What's the deal with Billy's vocals? He is flat on every top note. And I don't think I can listen to these songs cut up like this.
Dreadful, Davison a pale imitation of Jon Anderson.
This is awful, no matter the name.
Poor tribute band
Hard-headed Steve, you best stick to the new material this is just dismal, like a very poorly rehearsed Demo.
Ugh. I've gone into bat so many times for this band in the past, but this is awful.
Please please stop NOBODYloves Yes more than me but come on no AlanWhite no Chris Squire no yes im sorry.
スカスカの音。
このアルバムがいちばんの駄作。
Shame on you Steve........
Worst set of hacks ever. Close up shop, you've ruined everything.
Bruford still alive and in good shape, Anderson still singing and doing it waaaaay better than this guy, Geddy Lee more than capable to fill in for Squire, and Wakeman still playing. Put that lineup together and then you'll be able to call it Yes.
Bruford isn't coming out of retirement to rejoin Yes, and I don't think there's much chance of getting Rick either. But it would be very cool if that lineup actually did a tour, perhaps with Trevor Rabin on guitar.
Sad.
