@@cabbey31 you’re spitting gibberish I didn’t understand what you’re saying. Off to read the last comment you left me now but I doubt I’ll understand that either…
I give them credit for even attempting this. Wasn't expecting to see any YesWest (who I love) in the setlist. I'll give Steve a pass on this one. You know he hates playing it.
It’s missing vocal parts, Sherwood sounds bad, Downes is barely doing anything, they’re having trouble staying in 4/4 & they weren’t together in the beginning or the ending. Otherwise, it was fabulous.
This was a tour warm-up gig. The tour hadn't started at this point. I'm a staff member at this theater. The owner of this theater was an original YES manager back in the 60s/70s. YES had been rehearsing here for several days and this was a tour warm up gig and a thank you. But what a great opportunity for YES fans to see these guys in a small 400-seat theater!!
It seems fairly simple. Diversified Career Span Setlist with plenty of TFTO and Turn Of The Century getting a big applause from me. There are Trevor Rabin Era YES songs I would prefer. Honestly ROL is more about a Yes pop song with vocals in the setlist. A popular Yes song from those times. So in producing a full show, we get that one pop song, so I don't even expect Steve Howe to play like Trevor. For me its not important at all to focus on Steve's Solo. Steve fits the job for that brief few bars of soloing, all of 15 seconds, Its over and done and the show moves on to many amazing moments. We get plenty of Steve Howe of what Steve Howe does best in this show. I was quite surprised to hear some Yes fans think Steve did not have a solo moment in this show. Do they know this material? In a career spanning show 1 Trevor Rabin Era Yes song is enough. That period certainly kept the band alive. Unfortunately songs like ROL were more connecting with the audience than new works of that time that had been modeled in the classic era tradition. While I lean heavily to traditional early Yes, from Yes to Drama material, in a 2 hour show it's impossible to touch all bases. As far as Trevor Rabin era Yes, the track Walls from Talk seems a perfect one and done Trevor Rabin Era finale. Wait what am I TALKing about, Endless Dream. As far as another song many fans may care replaced, would I be happier if both ROL and ISAGP were not played. YES. At least we don't have to hear Owner Of A Lonely Heart Again. For those life long YES fans on their 50th or 100th or more YES show what can we expect? Roundabout and I've Seen All Good People are like The Rolling Stones playing Satisfaction As a life long Yes fan I would prefer a long list of rarely performed material that was not included in this show, I'd go for a song from the many rarely played songs from the Peter Banks era but thankful for hearing a few of those in the last several decades. It's 2023 and I look at the water of optimism that's in the glass of Yes. Lots of great material in this show and it's only the beginning of this tour. One of many Yes tours I've been happy to see since the 70s. They could play a 6 hour show and I would still be hoping for many songs that could not make any 6 hour Yes setlist. I'm feeling brave. Even a 12 hour setlist I'd be missing something, How about 18 Hours, YES.....
@@richardhall3250 I witnessed 27 shows total. Believe me when I tell you. This was not even close to a good performance. It was beyond terrible. I'm sure Steve Howe feels the same.
@@gregoryschleitwiler9601the intro went badly, they aren’t doing any backing vocal effects, everything else is fine. You’re used to hearing Yes with 10,000 people, a massive hall, instrument hiss, and a lot of rehearsal.

Steve Howe sounds terrible here. Why play the 80s stuff if he’s just gonna sound like a 10 year old playing at his first talent show? Learn the song or don’t play it Steve! I’m admittedly not a fan of this version of “Yes”, but even I know they have more potential to sound good than this. I’m a Howe fan too, so don’t give me any of that “he’s putting his own spin on it” crap; this is not reinterpreting the material, this is sheer laziness and pettiness on Howe’s part. Nobody (including me) is asking Howe to do an exact cover of what Rabin played, just learn the song and write a guitar solo that lives up your own greatness instead of limping through it. Rabin learned the ‘70s material and made changes that fit his ‘80s style, Howe doesn’t even try to make his style work with with the ‘80s stuff. I know this because Howe sounded great playing ‘80s music with Asia, so he should be able to make this sound good but clearly he doesn’t give a crap. I would be embarrassed if I played that bad. I was hoping Jay Schellen on drums would help pick up the tempo so they don’t sound so lifeless, but obviously he’s slowing down just so Howe can keep up. Yes’s reunion at the Hall Of Fame actually sounded like Yes and was arguably their best performance in a decade; they should have set aside their differences and reunited for a tour. Glad Howe is still playing, but he doesn’t seem to have the dignity to give people his best effort which is sad.
This is shit. At the very least they should play songs that at least ONE of them was on. This infuriates me. Steve hates this song anyway, so why are they playing it?
Not even half good, even for a tribute band. This performance is unacceptable and disrespectful to the five guys (none of whom are on this stage) who recorded this song…
@@zenonyaremko8316 he’s saying that they’re not Yes, and that they sound good for a tribute band (not even that) but they ARE NOT GOOD FOR A BAND THAT CALLS THEMSELVES YES!
I have seen better attempts at faking it in porn. This is just sad. Tribute bands are better than thi...wait a minute, that's all this is. When Anderson Rabin and Wakeman played this live it brought the house down. This was so uninspired it's sad. Hang up the clears Steve and Geoff.
Attempting a YesWest era song with Howe AND with none of the guys from that lineup was a mistake and thank god they saw that too. Glad they dropped it from the set…
I find it sad that other than Owner, Rhythm of Love and Hearts on the '99 tour are the only other Yes West songs later years Yes have gone near. I want to hear It Can Happen, it hasn't been played since 1985 which is criminal and Steve would get to play some electric sitar.
Yes, the performance is a bit weak - but then that's what the very song has always been. Do we really need Big Generator stuff? Or any YesWest stuff, as long as Steve Howe plays guitar? Apart from energy, it also lacks credibility.
Disgrace continues. This is boring and lame. If Chris Squire would be in audience, i guess he'd left the venue, or at least catch them on backstage and ask "So this is how treat my legacy??? You should me ashamed. You just took MY band, put it down into toilet and drained. Thanks guys👎😠"
La banda continua porque Squire así lo quiso, no es capricho de Howe, que hubiera pasado si Howe no estaría? Y solo estaría Squire dirían Squire and friend, Squire banda.
Firstly I love Steve Hackett. We can see how GTR was only a minor representation of Hackett or Howe's careers, fortunately little to nothing of that is played by either guitarist today but if I went to a Steve Hackett show and he wanted to play one GTR song, I'd have no problem with that. Pointedly Steve Howe has nothing to do with the creation of ROL, it's just one pop song from a long career of Yes as a band . Being that you mention a guitarist, Steve Howe was not involved in this "old material". Listen to the entire show and I am sure you will hear large amounts of Steve Howe giving full respect to many of his old material guitar parts including Time And A Word which he also had nothing to do with except posing for a band photo for the US LP release. ROL is one song from a diverse setlist of a long history of Yes. The band includes one pop song from that era of Yes. They could play 18 hours of Old Yes material that is far more in tune with Steve Howe'a sonic landscape .What we have here is one 80s era Pop Yes that Trevor Rabin was involved with. The solo section here comes and goes faster that Steve Howe can change through his mass quantity of guitars.Steve Howe remains one of the most influential guitarists of the original prog rock era. Bands and musicians can span a very long period of time. Let's be thankful Steve Howe has and continues to bring the world his talents.
@@garytitone853Agree with you about Steve. I just wish they wouldn't play any YesWest at all. Steve style when soloing is just so different than Rabin's that the solo sounds out of place in my opinion. He thankfully does not attempt to mimick the bombastic style of Rabin. Perhaps Steve and Billy should switch for this song if they keep it in the setlist.
Класс.. На сцене нет ни одного музыканта, которые записывали данную композиции в студии и ни одного , кто создавал группу.. Разве можно этот трибьют проект называть громким именем YES?..
I don't mind Yes playing some Rabin songs, even though none of the current members were in the band at that time. Kind of strange when you think about it. A significant era of the band has no members from that era. But this is Yes, the only Yes now. So I'm of the opinion all eras should be represented. Im curious why this is the only song from that era they ever play now, and rarely at that. Howe has note in the past a few songs the Rabin era did that he thought were actually pretty good. Why not puck say 2 or 3 of them and do them. And I know Owner of a Lonely Heart has its detractors. But it was their only #1 hit. They must be the only band that never plays it's biggest hit 🤔. Again I get none if these members recorded it. But it's still officially the same band.
Notice how the bass doesn't cut thru. Don't blame youtube. It's live also. You can hear Squires bass loud on youtube. As a Fan since 72 I say Fix it. Nice job by Jay resetting the tempo on the intro. Harmony vocals weak. This is Yes we are listening to, not the Joe Blow band. Crowd agrees with the weak applause. Fix it.
@@andrewwilliams8587 that's an excuse. All the Rabin era naysayers that say this music is so damn simple then Howe should be able to play it blindfolded. Instead, every time he does he steps all over himself. And what the hell does Downes do?! He literally just stands there and doesn't play on damn near half of every song.
A surprising entry in the setlist, but a lacklustre performance of it. This is probably the first negative thing I’ve said about any incarnation of Yes.
Saw the Yes line-up in 2017 on the Fragile/Drama tour. It was a mess. Geoff Downes couldn't play the Wakeman stuff, Bill Sherwood and Alan White were out of sync and sometimes confuses about the structure. Howe had to show them the changes several times. And the singer was a pale copy of Jon Anderson. They should not do this. The ARW line-up was MUCH better.
Ok, let’s be clear - I really like Steve Howe as a musician. He has a very unique sound and style that put an indelible stamp on much of Yes’ music. This is not one of those songs. It doesn’t fit him at all, and given his well known disdain for that era’s music I cannot fathom why they are playing it. I don’t know if it’s true, but the late (and definitely great) Chris Squire allegedly stated, “Trevor Rabin can do a credible Steve Howe imitation, but not the opposite.” Whether he actually said it or not, this and 9012Live certainly give credence to that idea.
Saw Yes just after Chris's Passing with original Jon. It was a fitting tribute. This performance should have been left in the can😢. Howe is a mess in this
More than likely, Steve just came in a beat late on a song he didn’t really want to do and then suddenly it was canned from the set because it didn’t go well
Let’s be honest, this is a very poor representation of YES! Gone are the exceptional musicians and singers that personified the band for so many years! Oh and they all look so bored and disinterested with what they are doing…no heart in the performance!
From a Yes fan since the 70's, this is just a tribute band, and I have heard even better tribute bands than this. Always had respect for Steve Howe, but he needs to give this up.
I honestly thought it was another tribute band before zooming in. I mean, Yes has become a tribute band on their own, but this, really sounds like a rookie high school band. Pathetic.
Compare this to the Anderson Rabin Wakeman at the Apollo. There is literally no comparison. ARW sounds like the studio version. Interesting they would be doing Rabin era stuff.
For all of you whiners who hate everything Yes does now, why even bother watching? You couldn't even get an audition with this band. Steve Howe sounds fine. Stop blowing it out of proportion.
ROger Hodgson's fanboys do the same in case of Supertramp . They are just repeating their boring comments like a child. ( No Anderson no Yes .. no Hodgson no Supertramp ) It seems these spiritual guys cases some problems with their egos. By the way I will never understand why these people feel better if they can write their negative comments . Davison sounds good here , and Steve is a legend.
You think Howe sounds fine???? Please listen to 3:17 again. Anyone who thinks that’s anything more than atrocious should have their ears surgically removed because they clearly aren’t using them…or maybe y’all just never heard the studio version…
@@playlistmaker90125 I swear some of you wannabes just pick a song apart just to satisfy your own opinions. Steve Howe has given his entire life to the band Yes and can do whatever he wants. Those of you who think you know him personally don't know him at all. At his age, he is not going to be the guitarist he was when he was younger. None of us are what we used to be. Howe is one of the most respected guitarists for over 50 years and has given us countless hours of great music with Yes. Maybe Taylor Swift is your thing now.
@@dhala54 one, Steve did NOT give his entire life to Yes. He missed out on their most commercially successful period (including the song he’s playing) and I don’t care if he’s the fucking pope, he doesn’t get to “do what he wants” and disgracefully butcher a song he had no part in recording. That is just beyond disrespectful to Trevor Rabin, and you get mad at us for being disrespectful? Get a grip…he has no business playing a song that’s not by him and ruining it completely…Trevor should slap the shit out of him backstage…besides, I bet you soiled your shorts when you saw Trevor play Roundabout and Starship Trooper “incorrectly” in the 80s…
@@playlistmaker90125 Your comments are absolutely ridiculous. Many classic rock bands play older material that the current members had no part in playing or writing. Anyone can play any song they like. It is not disrespectful at all. You are lost.
Creo que Steve deberia dejar su gran EGO y hablar con los verdaderos musicos, Jon, Rick y x que no Trevor, tal vez dejaria al Jon Davinson y al bajista, y claro al no esta tampoco Alan , que se que Jay, pero YES merece sus ultimas batallas a lo grande y no asi como suena esto
Playing a YES song that none on the stage had any part of creating on the album. It is a crime that this band is called YES ! NOT ONE ORIGINAL MEMBER ! YES died when Chris Squire did. Piss on this $$$ grabbing scam by Steve Howe.

@@JonAnderson90125 I saw the other clip AGP.. overall pretty lifeless. Reaffirms my belief that leaving Relayer on the shelf was a good idea..
That would have been a major disaster......!@@TomHolliday9
Good for you
Okay, it's not horrible -- but why? I never thought the song sounded much like Yes to begin with.
bad selection
A surprising entry in the setlist, but a lacklustre performance of it. This is probably the first negative thing I’ve said about any incarnation of Yes.
That is the most boring audience I have ever seen. Sign of a band way past it's prime that needs to hang it up.
Retire.
Saw the Yes line-up in 2017 on the Fragile/Drama tour. It was a mess. Geoff Downes couldn't play the Wakeman stuff, Bill Sherwood and Alan White were out of sync and sometimes confuses about the structure. Howe had to show them the changes several times. And the singer was a pale copy of Jon Anderson. They should not do this. The ARW line-up was MUCH better.
Ok, let’s be clear - I really like Steve Howe as a musician. He has a very unique sound and style that put an indelible stamp on much of Yes’ music.
This is not one of those songs. It doesn’t fit him at all, and given his well known disdain for that era’s music I cannot fathom why they are playing it.
I don’t know if it’s true, but the late (and definitely great) Chris Squire allegedly stated, “Trevor Rabin can do a credible Steve Howe imitation, but not the opposite.” Whether he actually said it or not, this and 9012Live certainly give credence to that idea.
Saw Yes just after Chris's Passing with original Jon. It was a fitting tribute.
This performance should have been left in the can😢.
Howe is a mess in this
Jon was out of the band when Chris passed
Maybe it was the Hall of Fame performance?
More than likely, Steve just came in a beat late on a song he didn’t really want to do and then suddenly it was canned from the set because it didn’t go well
Let’s be honest, this is a very poor representation of YES! Gone are the exceptional musicians and singers that personified the band for so many years! Oh and they all look so bored and disinterested with what they are doing…no heart in the performance!
From a Yes fan since the 70's, this is just a tribute band, and I have heard even better tribute bands than this. Always had respect for Steve Howe, but he needs to give this up.
Call it day you are not Yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I honestly thought it was another tribute band before zooming in.
I mean, Yes has become a tribute band on their own, but this, really sounds like a rookie high school band. Pathetic.
Ha ha. They are having the time of their lives and people are here bitching. Too funny.
That's fine...if you're playing in your fucking garage and not charging people to see you
Don’t care if they’re having a good time. That means nothing to me. They are butchering this classic that none of them had anything to do with!
Is there a challenge between who is the most dead? On stage or in the crowd???
Surprised Howe accepts to play a Rabin song, and one of the worst
They should change the band name to YUCK
3:17 just smash your guitar and stop playing forever…
Your choice
Compare this to the Anderson Rabin Wakeman at the Apollo. There is literally no comparison. ARW sounds like the studio version. Interesting they would be doing Rabin era stuff.
That was 2018, Yes doesn’t play YesWest material. Get a life and a perspective
@@hpatss4966 I have both! Anderson/Geeks far exceeds the Howe cover band
Limp Yes 😂
Oh dear, this is so bad!!! :/
For all of you whiners who hate everything Yes does now, why even bother watching? You couldn't even get an audition with this band. Steve Howe sounds fine. Stop blowing it out of proportion.
ROger Hodgson's fanboys do the same in case of Supertramp . They are just repeating their boring comments like a child. ( No Anderson no Yes .. no Hodgson no Supertramp ) It seems these spiritual guys cases some problems with their egos. By the way I will never understand why these people feel better if they can write their negative comments . Davison sounds good here , and Steve is a legend.
You think Howe sounds fine???? Please listen to 3:17 again. Anyone who thinks that’s anything more than atrocious should have their ears surgically removed because they clearly aren’t using them…or maybe y’all just never heard the studio version…
@@playlistmaker90125 I swear some of you wannabes just pick a song apart just to satisfy your own opinions. Steve Howe has given his entire life to the band Yes and can do whatever he wants. Those of you who think you know him personally don't know him at all. At his age, he is not going to be the guitarist he was when he was younger. None of us are what we used to be. Howe is one of the most respected guitarists for over 50 years and has given us countless hours of great music with Yes. Maybe Taylor Swift is your thing now.
@@dhala54 one, Steve did NOT give his entire life to Yes. He missed out on their most commercially successful period (including the song he’s playing) and I don’t care if he’s the fucking pope, he doesn’t get to “do what he wants” and disgracefully butcher a song he had no part in recording. That is just beyond disrespectful to Trevor Rabin, and you get mad at us for being disrespectful? Get a grip…he has no business playing a song that’s not by him and ruining it completely…Trevor should slap the shit out of him backstage…besides, I bet you soiled your shorts when you saw Trevor play Roundabout and Starship Trooper “incorrectly” in the 80s…
@@playlistmaker90125 Your comments are absolutely ridiculous. Many classic rock bands play older material that the current members had no part in playing or writing. Anyone can play any song they like. It is not disrespectful at all. You are lost.
Creo que Steve deberia dejar su gran EGO y hablar con los verdaderos musicos, Jon, Rick y x que no Trevor, tal vez dejaria al Jon Davinson y al bajista, y claro al no esta tampoco Alan , que se que Jay, pero YES merece sus ultimas batallas a lo grande y no asi como suena esto
Yes sem Jon Anderson nos vocais soa desanimado, Davison parece sofrer pra cantar.
Terrible.
Why do they continue to churn out this garbage, someone have a word with them
Уфффффффффффффф
Uffda
Вовремя уйти со сцены это тоже талант... но хочется иногда кушать.
Cool :)
What kind of drugs have you been putting in your body lately?
for all you fking naysayers, it was a live rehearsal. They do this every tour. WAHHHHHHH!
And it sucks every time.
Every tour You sayin'?
Not couting ARW i haven't heard it since 2004.
Actually, it was a dead rehearsal.
But they can at least not play songs that none of them were on. They should stick to Howe’s material…
A rehearsal in front of paying clients??
I just saw Steve Hacketts band last night… Howe needs to take notes on how to properly pay tribute to the classics. This current “Yes” is a joke.
This is a disgrace to Yes music. Sorry.
What is this? 😱
You know what’s funny. None of these guys had shit to do with this song, they have NO RIGHT OR BUSINESS raping this song like this!
what?????
pro???
Davison sounds pretty good here
As compared to...WHAT?
But Howe sounds like a rodent getting squashed on the highway by a car…
"Squishy and Lifeless"?@@playlistmaker90125
😢😢😢 Beendet bitte das Kapitel dieser furchtbaren Coverband 😢😢😮
This is SO weird. Not one member of the version of Yes that played this on the album is playing on stage. Bizarre!
Literally who cares?
Could’ve been worse I suppose
Is it me or is this really an awful sounding mess ?
Horrible cover band...😢
Playing a YES song that none on the stage had any part of creating on the album. It is a crime that this band is called YES ! NOT ONE ORIGINAL MEMBER ! YES died when Chris Squire did. Piss on this $$$ grabbing scam by Steve Howe.
This is not Yes.
