Markyboard Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Damn- I bet people will line up over night or maybe even days in advance. Just like the good ole days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRollins Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 That sucks. I'm kinda on the wrong side of the continent. Grey I'm not interested in someone's ability to program. I'm interested in their ability to compose and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 That sucks. I'm kinda on the wrong side of the continent. You would camp out on the street overnight to go if you were in LA? I ain't doing it...although I do admit feeling a nostalgic twang, I realize the only way I could do it and enjoy it would be to get a few other folks to do it with me. Even then, I figure we'd probably end up regretting the decision - someone would inevitably start grumbling about their back/hip/shoulder hurting, and it'd just go downhill from there... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyRude Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 You mean Yes is not having to pay to play the Whiskey? A nod to the pay-to-play days of the mid-80s, where struggling bands trying to make it big had to pay to play the Sunset Strip rock clubs like the Whiskey, the Roxy, Troubadour and others.

GovernorSilver Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Lucky guys! Saw the Howe version of Yes a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammondDave Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 The Howe version sucked the last time I saw them. Rabin, Wakeman and Anderson were amazing last year. Looking forward to turning my g-friend on to these guys.... She heard Roundabout for the first time last month and loved it.

Marzzz Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 The Howe version sucked the last time I saw them. Rabin, Wakeman and Anderson were amazing last year. Looking forward to turning my g-friend on to these guys.... She heard Roundabout for the first time last month and loved it. Total agreement. I saw the Howe version (while Squire was still with us) and it was ponderous, at best. Paid for the VIP pass with ARW last year (discussed the shortcomings of the Voyager with RCW) and they were YES.

richforman Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yeah, ARW are much better at this point than "official YES" imo. I'd consider trying to get in on this if I didn't have my own gigs here on the east coast that weekend, but when they announce tour dates here I'll definitely go, have seen them three times already. The good news is that the venues they play are generally not that much bigger anyway, so we're not missing out on that much by not getting to see this bar show.

GovernorSilver Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Sounds about in line with what my bud has reported. He religiously attends shows by both versions of Yes. He prefers Howe's slightly rawer and quirky guitar style to Rabin's, but also prefers the overall musicianship in ARW. It was nice to see Tony Kaye hit the stage for nostalgic reasons, but he seemed to approach the "Roundabout" solo as a joke - dunno if he was drinking or what, because he's shown flashes of legit chops in the past. Geoff Downes was capable but in contrast to Kaye's enthusiasm, he looked more like a hired hand who clocked in, and patiently waiting to clock out. The lead vocalist was a pleasant surprise; much better than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammondDave Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 There is a level of serious musicianship and precision that AWR possess. I saw the Howe version twice, once before we lost Chris Squire and the other right after he passed. Both performances were sloppy.
