YES: 40th Anniversary Tour!!! - Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival Message Board

brando4n82 · 03-07-2008, 09:05 AM

It has been confirmed by Jon Anderson that a 40th Anniversary US tour will take place this July/August!

Anyone excited about this besides Ron?

Blinken · 03-07-2008, 09:12 AM

It took me a while to realize the name of the band was "yes," I was a little confused.

Cheddar's Cousin · 03-07-2008, 09:12 AM

NO!

SFChrissy · 03-07-2008, 09:48 AM

not my thing...

BobCaygeon · 03-07-2008, 09:20 PM

Yes!

Not sure I'll be able to make it to a show, what with Coachella taking up this year's travel budget, but I would if I could.

gaypalmsprings · 03-07-2008, 09:27 PM

Yes - of course. I've been waiting for years. Ron prolly saw them years ago.

jimmycrackcorn · 03-07-2008, 09:29 PM

<would rather see YES than YAZ

gaypalmsprings · 03-07-2008, 09:32 PM

GnarVee · 03-08-2008, 05:08 AM

Cheddar's Cousin · 03-08-2008, 08:20 AM

I have no witty retort for this one. You win good sir.

gaypalmsprings · 03-08-2008, 08:42 AM

woogie846 · 03-08-2008, 08:53 AM

not for me

canexplain · 03-08-2008, 09:55 AM

i had not read this thread , but since i was in the thread .... next to Neil, i have seen Yes more then any band ... maybe 20 times .. gang, its like NIN, or Tool, you may or may not like the style of the music, but go to a Yes concert and you will walk out saying WOW.. x****

vinylmartyr · 03-08-2008, 10:02 AM

Don't they write songs about time traveling and stuff.

yeah, that's what it is: time traveling and whales.

trivia: Joss Whedon's production company is named after a yes lyric.

M Sparks · 03-08-2008, 10:55 AM

I was heavy into Yes when I was a kid, but I don't know if this qualifies as an event. They've been out on tour every few years since forever.

Who's going to be in this? That's the important question. I think frickin Tony Kaye or someone like that owns the name... hence the Anderson Walkman Buttholes, and How! debacle of the 80's

They need to do the Union tour lineup again, when it was like everyone who had ever been in Yes onstage at the same time.

They've had Anderson, Squire, Howe, and White in the band since about '96, with various keyboard players. According to yesworld.com, it is Oliver Wakeman who will be on keys this time.

Anybody ever heard of You Were Spiraling, or Spiraling? The main guy in that band played keys on their 2001 tour.

I guess I was wrong about Kaye owning the name. Maybe it was White

xbnmx · 03-08-2008, 11:48 AM

I hope Yazoo tours the states.

amyzzz · 03-09-2008, 01:08 AM

oh crap, my hubby likes a couple songs by them really well. I should tell him about this. (sorry I'm making myself type this out so I'll remember)

BROKENDOLL · 03-09-2008, 09:00 AM

I recall Suffacated telling me that YES was his first concert experience...He'll either be really excited...Or, feel really old when he sees this thread, I guess...

I borrowed this from Homo & Hetero Island thread...

Isn't that Vincent Gallo?

I've also heard Sherman Hemsley is a fan too.
