YES was better than ever!!
This latest incarnation of YES was really quite good. Of course no Chris Squire or Alan White but the players who have taken over their respective spots were really good. Steve Howe, at his advanced age, is at the top of his game. He was better than he has ever been and that is saying a lot. Jon Davison, the replacement for Jon Anderson, has a better range and voice that Anderson. Davison's voice is rich with overtones and a pleasure to hear. All in all, it was really a great 2 hours.
Yes at The Arena Theater
Awesome 2800 seat in the round venue. Sound and visuals were first class. Don't believe the nay sayers! Yes was tight and sounded like the real deal. If you are a Yes fan I would highly recommend you see them.
YES - PITTSBURGH
We thought the Jon Anderson concert in Pittsburgh was great. Very entertaining and great mix of old and new songs. Jon's voice is still great and he obviously has a great time on stage.
ARW at the Rose in Huber Heights, OH, 9/9/18
This was their last show of this tour, and man did they do a fine job.... The sound was great! The musicians were phenomenal- Jon is 72 and sounded like he was much younger.... They had videos that reflected their playing, especially on solos.... Great introductions by Jon... They played a version of And You and I that was tremendous! Played lots of 80's material. Rick did a great solo introducing Awaken. Glad I got to see the show, may never see these guys ever again... I think this Yes is better than Steve Howe's Yes. The Rose was very organized... They will scan you so don't bring any pocket knives or any excess baggage. I smelled pot at one point so careful bringing you kids or mom.
Unlike many of these reviews i was actually there for Boston
So, how about this: I was actually AT the Boston show, unlike most of these reviewers/trolls. Almost full house (10-15 balcony seats left) and great view/sound. I can't help but notice this band actually PUSHES itself. Howe finds new ways to play old material. Sherwood clearly learned a thing or two about carrying a song from Squire, and overall the band was clearly having fun. I saw them a year ago, and if you don't count the encores they only repeated two songs in the setlist from the prior tour - A phenomenal treat to any fan, and much unlike other bands who just play the same hits over and over...including the Anderson led version. I understand why this band had Squire's blessing. I brought friends who'd never seen them - They loved it. A minor detail: Sherwood & Howe definitely had a grittier tone this time around. Most welcome, especially on Close to the Edge, Awaken, and Parallels. And - good to see Alan White for 4 songs, he played well. Shame if it's his last round.
Yes Pittsburgh
I'm blown away at the negative reviews (Steve Howe yes)i that it was fantastic. But that's just me. When I saw ARW I thought Anderson and wakeman we're very strong but with so much of the show 70s yes Rabin just not right on the steve Howe stuff. Bass and drummer felt very much like sidemen. Billy Sherwood was in such a zone! Great. Jay schellen awesome. Anyone agree with me?
