Prog Synch Listen: Yes: Onward!

[Neil Jung]

I think the fans of Jon and Rick didn’t approve of them having been replaced by The Buggles and decided to shout their disapproval.
They should have been there when Neil Young did Greendale.

[C]

let's all heed those tubs!!!!

Lovely sounding tubs!


.

Great Goons think alike!!!!!

Goons of the world unite!

[Neil Jung]

It sounds magnificent on headphones.

That's a very fair point extremely well made Mike.

I felt the same

"Video Killed the Radio Star" - what nonsense was that for a serious prog fan like yours truly.

I succumbed though

Eventually.....

[C]

I love the thud of White's tubs!

thud thud

thud thud

Squire's bass is to die for

They should have been there when Neil Young did Greendale.

No one should have had to witness that...

'Now Granpa, he decided to, well... what he thought he needed to do was, you see...

[C]

The lad Downes does his best

[Neil Jung]

I’ve always loved "Video Killed the Radio Star"...

[Spock!]

First two songs are excellent - make that first three.

Much more of harder edged than I associate with Yes in general. Squire and Howe a bit more prominent than they had become I think.

Mike, I remember at the time you being apoplectic - can you remind me what was so bad my memory is not what it was Bill...

Or when Dylan went electric.


Moldy figs.

[Neil Jung]

Trying to recall when I’ve seen Yes
Drama tour
ABWH
Union
Magnification
None of the great tours then.

The whole album is upbeat and rocks

None of the introverted Anderson nonsense

This is Yes for real men (and women)

[LMG]

Later recorded by Buggles - it was their tune (a version on Spotify). On the Buggles later album Adventures In Modern Recording (NOT on Spotify)

Tour wasn’t advertised as Greendale. It was £50. He insisted the bars were closed. He played the tedious Neil by numbers Greendale for hours plus 4 “hits”. Dismal.

This was my first time: Dagenham Roundhouse 22nd August 1970 supported act Nosher Brown

Whatever happened to Nosher...??!!

[Spock!]

Bass is brilliant.


Drums have a lot of force.



Guitar sounds gnarly. (is that how you cats express it? )



The stabs of the keys are great too.

[Neil Jung]

Adventures In Modern Recording Is pretty good don’t you think?

[LMG]

Trying to recall when I’ve seen Yes
Drama tour
ABWH
Union

Many fans, meself included, would have killed to see the Union show live.

Just the once, me - Hammersmith Odeon 2003 - Anderson, Wakeman, Howe, Squire, White. Pure magic.
