I guess there will not be any Yes until 2008
flatopf...@yahoo.com
Howe will be busy with Asia for most of 2007 with dates in Japan and
South America or maybe Mexico in March with North American dates to
follow.
Additionally, there is at least one Asia date for the UK in December.
Now there could be a Yes in 2007 under the following scenarios:
1- Yes works around Asia's schedule (probably difficult but possible)
2- Yes reforms without Howe (unlikely but possible)
3- As previouly rumoured, Yes and Asia tour together in the Summer
(calendar works out-most likely of all of the scenarios I propose).
4- Who knows?

Howe and Wakeman have both indicated that band activity isn't planned
until 2008, but that something is planned for then. Anderson in one
report did say the band would do something in 2007, but generally he
seems the most disinterested in Yes regrouping. I think the best we can
hope for 2007 is that definite plans for something in 2008 are made! I
like the idea of a joint tour, but I don't think it's happening.

Who cares? I doubt Yes will do anything live that they haven't done
over and over again. I think 30 shows is more than enough for me.

One thing's for sure, there'll be nothing in 2006. Aha-hahaha...(sorry)
OK, seriously now, much as I love Yes (they're probably my second favourite
band - but that makes me sound like Raja so pretend I didn't write that) I
think it's over, or at least it should be. Magnification is a pretty good
way to bow out of studio releases but the apparently increasingly slow tempo
renditions of CTTE and GoD and the wimpification of Steve's guitar sound
just make me want them to quit.

I didn't feel Howe's guitar sound on the Asia tour was wimpy in the
least, so perhaps there's hope.

Howe probably tried harder on the recent tour with Asia than what he usually
does/did with Yes on Yestours. I guess with Yes it was just a matter of
turning up and playing the same 30 year old crap night after night.....at
least with Asia there is a slightly fresh approach to things - even tho the
music is from 2 decades ago. On the Asia tour Howe seemed more relaxed,
cheerful and interacted with the crowd. All he does with Yes is stand on a
fucking rug looking like a weak professor. Maybe the reason Howe is
different with Yes is because of the animosity amongst band members. who
knows? I sure as fuck dont....

The couple of times I saw Yes on the last tour it looked to me that
Steve was the only one who actually looked happy (in his own way) to be
there. At Powderham Castle Rick looked decidedly bored and yawned his
way through the show. I was a bit annoyed having paid a fair amount to
bring my family from Scotland to the south of England, the least he
could do was looked interested. Steve also came out during the
afternoon of the show when many people had already gathered and
performed an impromtu solo set.
Jon, Alan and Chris looked to me as though they wouldn't be there if
they could make enough money on their own.
If they think they're too old for Yes they should just come out and say
it and finish with a big event (like Gong did in Amsterdam recently
with Steve Hillage etc.), instead of coming back out in a year or two
to boost their pensions, looking pissed off with each other.
As Rick suggested in the Yesyears video, a new chapter of Yes could
start with younger ex-members an the like. I would suggest:
Jade Anderson - Vocals
Igor (Or Adam Wakeman)- Keys
Dylan Howe - Drums
Billy - Bass/vocals
Guitars- ?? can't think of anyone (Trevor's getting on a bit too)

Is there any update on an Asia DVD - will they play larger venues in
Japan & is that where they intend to film? It will be interesting to
see their performance.

They are filming a live DVD (and an album) in Japan. They've announced
the venues, but I don't know how big they are.

One can already eliminate n° 3, for Steve Howe stated on his website
recently that there won't be a Yes and Asia tour together, cos' this is
only based on false rumours.
Does this already pull down the possibility of n° 1 ?
I don't know, unless fact n° 2 happens, and this is where I wanted to
go.
There is in fact something going to happen.
I saw Alan White in October on a Drum and Percussion festival in
Holland and he revealed some interesting things.
One of these was that he was going to see Chris Squire the other day in
London to discuss the Yes situation. He said that he and Chris won't be
waiting forever untill Yes would restart. They want to act and get out
on the road again.
And they would be doing this, even if a totally new Yes would come out
of this.
So, Alan said they would maybe attract some other musicians they know
of. He spoke i.e. of Ryo Okumoto of Spock's Beard, who played with
Chris on the recent Rickenbacker Anniversary event. He mentioned also
one Roger Troyjo, the singer of the Brazilian Yes tribute band
Yessongs, whose voice sounds almost exactly as Jon Anderson's, with
even some physical ressemblance (for those who want to know what it
sounds like, there are some clips on YouTube where you can hear this
guy; just search on "Yessongs").
White mentioned also that Trevor Rabin was boring doing movie
soundtracks and was keen to do some band music again.
There was also stated some sort of deadline till the end of December,
perhaps for those people already mentioned to put an answer on the
requests.
That date is almost reached, so I thought it would be time to reveal
these little secrets.
Maybe nothing of it will become reality in 2007, meanwhile it will let
us dream again, isn't it ?

carrying the torch for a new set of listeners. A different sound for a
different time. The next album could be entitled (appropriately enough,
in that scenario) "Generation 2".
After all, only one made flesh (previously known as "The Word" [Ha
Dabar?]) is known to have existed from the beginning of time...the rest
of we mortals eventually get "taken". Someone has to carry on the Yes
legacy into the future. Will I be there when cometh the new music? Who
knows?

I've taken up the difficult task of learning Biblical Hebrew, so the
nits to pick are that the definite article is prefixed to the affected
word, and in this case the consonant is doubled, giving us "haddabar."

Actually, that's an annual event Gong do having stopped touring; it's
not supposed to be a final one, although this year's reunion may not be
repeated.

Many of the members of Yes have had children who are now musicians
themselves, but why should those children be lumbered with their
parents' legacy? Jade and Dylan both seem very admiring of Yes and their
fathers' careers, but they're both off making their own music in quite
different styles. The Wakeman clan alone seem to have some interest in
the same sort of music.

Congrats, Dutch man! (Oh gee, how did I figure that one?) And you
probably were able to read the Tanakh in 2 weeks' time, no? (Jon
Anderson can be seen wearing a Star of David pendant in the Yours Is No
Disgrace video--Best of Musikladen DVD.)
You also satisfied yourself in debating 2 points of no relevance to this
topic: kosher and Sabbath. (Real smart.) I guess you also know what
"lashon hara" means. I'm not going to go here into such things as
single/double-lettering (Hebrew into English), vowel-point debates, nor
U-V-B, P-F, or S-SH pronunciation controversies. I was simply
commenting on how those carrying the Yes banner (in the future) might
make the transition given that all who came "from the dust" return unto
the same eventually.
By the way, your surname is also, in fact, Jewish in origin as well as
Dutch...I know at least 4 VanSickles that can claim witness to this.
"It's not so much what you know, or who you know that's coming. It's
what you do regardless. It's what you do eventually."
(I couldn't help it; I just had to conclude with that. One of Jon's
better moments on that album/game demo.)
