Title: Yes - too close to the edge and back tour
Post by: gatorsnot on May 05, 2008, 10:52 PM
This is something I'd like to see.  Sounds like their focus will be the 70's classic stuff.

The lineup for this tour is:

Jon Anderson
Chris Squire
Steve Howe
Alan White
Oliver Wakeman

ahh, i didn't know they would get so 'close to' the original lineup--those guys always seem to be squabbling about something.

in a related story, alan white has started a supergroup of sorts called Circa. i forget exactly who is in it, but it's supposed to be another foray into prog. i think they even got roger dean to design their logo.  :P

they just played at bb kings here last night, but i wasn't able to attend. a shame, coz i think alan is an awesome drummer/musician.

i just might have to get a ticket for this 'throwback' tour. especially if they do 'close to the edge'. probably one of my favorite yes albums!

No Pittsburgh date I see and i'm not driving to Columbus. Bummer.

I've seen YES a few times and they are worth seeing for sure. If you get the chance,,,,go!

Is Oliver Wakeman Rick's son or who? I've never heard of him...

he is, and he looks almost exactly like him:

Thanks.  :)
It's a pity that I live at least 4000 miles away from any of the forthcoming gigs. (And I didn't know about the Katowice one last year, which is just 300 kilometres from where I live...)
