YOSO - monitoring with headphones

Okay, so a Facebook friend turned me on to YOSO, ex-members of Yes and Toto (Tony Kaye, Bobby Kimball, Billy Sherwood, along with Jimmy Haun and Lou Molino).

 

The music's not bad, although it initially strikes these jaded ears as a bit...generic. Maybe it'll grow on me. Or maybe I'm listening to Kenny Wheeler too much these days.

 

Anyway, what struck me is Kaye using those big old fat Sennheiser HD280 over-ear headphones to monitor. Not very rock and roll...

Interesting....Tony Kaye sounds very good. I've been listening to the new Peter Gabriel recording, some Chick Corea, Patrick O'Hearn, David Helpling/Jon Jenkins, and Tord Gustavsen lately, so it sounds a little generic to me also. Great to see those guys still working; they're all very skilled.

I've seen the KB guy from Chicago doing something similar recently. Maybe these old cats just can't get into in-ears but find they need the "personal" monitoring.

 

I agree it looks dorky.
