Yes ?

2004-03-02 by Mattias Olsson

Hey hey..

Does anyone actually have any interest for what yes is up to today ? Sorry, please explain.

Don´t get me wrong, I like Close to the edge as much as the next guy but come on....35 years...?

Words of Wizzdom - 

There are lots of people that are riding on their past glories ....
Last years Yes tour was likely more financially successful than their 
1972 tour.

Have they recorded anything interesting recently?  They all seem to 
loose that ability.  What's with that anyway?

Goota go...  (Wizz time)

I'm going to see them in Lowell,MA in May-I figured it might be the last 
chance to see the caped crusader and I keep hoping they'll record CTTE 
part 2 someday!

Problem is, they haven't written anything genuinely *great* since 'Awaken',
ooh, 28 years ago (recorded '76). Would you *really* want to hear them try
to follow up such a classic?

Amen,brother. Some things are best left alone. Lets just enjoy CTTE as it. It wont be bettered. If there was a part2, we'd all be moaning about the lack of tron on the new recording, as surely there would be knowing RW's views on the subject.
Off topic. Going to see Steve Hackett in Oxford on the 19th. Anyone else going? One thing can be sure of, and that's there will be loads of tron at this gig, if only of the sampled variety.

The same goes for a lot (most, if not all) of the vocals unfortunately.
