YES - The Classic Tales Tour, Glasshouse International Centre for Music, Gateshead - 2nd June 2024
In the context of seeing Yes in their heyday in the 70s:The vocalist in this lineup disappointed me - I felt trying to imitate Jon Anderson but came across to me as a bit wailing, plus, it was amplified too high against the instrumentation. I thought the vocalist who played at the Royal Albert Hall in May 2014 was better. I though the bass sounded a little distorted in places, and although the bassist was a great player, I felt that the band were very less Yes without Chris Squire. Having said that, Starship Trouper to finish off was probably the best version I'd heard - a great extended guitar finish from Steve Howe. Roundabout, And You And I, and sides 1 & 4 from Tales were all pretty damed good.

Yes #50, Brighton Centre, Brighton - 21st March 2018
Superb performance, particularly enjoyed “Yours is no disgrace” and Starship trooper”, 2 of my favourite songs. Steve Howe amazing as ever, what a guitarist. The lighting and sound were excellent. Brighton Centre is a good venue with plenty of space to move around. Bit taken aback by price of “programme” at £25 but it is actually more of a book than a programme and actually not bad price for what it is, a very substantial book.

Yes, with this new line-up, were almost as good as the accepted "Classic" line-up of ASHWW. The choice of set list was excellent.

Who are Yes? Grammy Award winning pioneers of progressive rock, YES have achieved worldwide success with a history spanning over 50 years and 22 studio albums. The band is known for its expansive songs, mystical lyrics, elaborate album art and live stage sets. YES are among of the longest lasting and the most successful of the ’70s progressive rock groups, proving to be one of the lasting success stories from that musical genre. The band, founded in 1968, overcame a generational shift in its audience and the departure of its most visible members at key points in its history to reach the end of the century as the definitive progressive rock band. YES retained the same sound, and performed much of the same repertoire they were doing in 1971, and for their trouble, found themselves being taken seriously a quarter of a century later. Their audience remained huge because they had always attracted younger listeners drawn to their mix of daunting virtuosity, cosmic (often mystical) lyrics, complex musical textures, and powerful yet delicate lead vocals. Are Yes playing live? Yes will be revisiting their classic album Relayer next summer. See them play at: * Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow * Sage Gateshead, Gateshead * Eventim Apollo, London The many fans will be keen to get their hands on YES tickets so please ensure you act fast and get yours before they are all gone.
