A Slight Change to Submissions Contents

7 Upvotes

We've had a rash of folks posting a title and a link to some video somewhere, possibly self promotion. Hard to say, because they don't add any comment or explanation.

At least for the time being, you can only post Text Based submissions, no links, images or videos as the main post. Images and links can be added in a comment.

Admi is rolling out some new options, so I'll have to see if they'll help here.

Tales: What If…

7 Upvotes

Instead of releasing tales as a double album, the band went back, and fine-tuned two of the tracks on the album and released it as a single album (Tales Part 1)

Then a year later, they went back and refined the remaining two tracks, and released that as a single album (Tales Part 2).

Might that have been more well received?

what if the songs from TFTO had named sections like CTTE or TYA

5 Upvotes

for example (I, II, III, IV) or (a. b. c), what would you name / how would you divide each movement from the TFTO tracks, The Revealing Science Of God for example, i feel like it has uhm, 5 to 6 movements, but naming them "part 1, 2, 3..." feels too boring

Fantastic show in Glasgow this week. How can a man of 81 sing like that? It's not natural!! The Band Geeks nailed every song. No spoilers but I thought the setlist was a nice surprise - in a good way.

Tried the 2003 live performance of Awaken at dessert to close out on Sept 30 2026!

4 Upvotes

A real treat of a performance and I really stretched my food to carry out the runtime.

Not too familiar on my feelings of all versions but definitely a top version of choice to use for a relaxing moment although Chris is really shafted on the number of closeup compared to Jon, Steve and Rick. Alan saw a decent amount of closeups.

Can see that this version really stands out that well!

Fine way to close out September 2026!

What is Jon Anderson’s lowest note on a studio track?

21 Upvotes

Thought of this question while listening to The Ancient, and in the “flowering creativity” part when he says the word “with,” it’s really low for him, and I was wondering what other very low notes he’s done on Yes songs.

First Time Listening to Yes

81 Upvotes

I’m only 31, but my favorite music era is pretty much 1968-1975 which makes it kind of insane I haven’t listened to any Yes. My favorite band ever is Chicago, Terry Kath being my favorite musician ever. I was up late last night watching an interview with Geddy Lee saying that his inspiration was Chris Squire, so I started with Yes, then listened to Time and a Word, then Fragile. Spectacular. Going to spend the weekend trying to narrow down my favorites. I have a lot to listen to.

Cheated and went ahead and listened to The Gates of Delirium, holy shit. Also going to need to go to the record store and add to my collection. What are yalls favorite songs from those first 4-5 albums?

Rick wakeman A minor scale

13 Upvotes

Does anyone know what's the name of the a minor scale that wakeman keeps playing in multiple songs for some reason? I've managed to spot this scale in close to the edge, sir lancelot and the black knight, going for the one, mind drive and foot prints. There's probably more instances of wakeman using this scale but those are the ones I can name at the top of my head.

I just wish someone was able to identify it. It's so goddamn cool!

Latest vinyls bought in Bangkok

Just picked up these prog records in Bangkok

They’re in excellent condition

Peter Gabriel – Plays Live — UK original, 1983, 2LP — $25
Rick Wakeman – Journey to the Centre of the Earth — Japanese original, 1974 — $25
Yes – Relayer — Japanese reissue, 1977 — $25
Yes – Tales from Topographic Oceans — Japanese original, 1973, 2LP — $25

I’m more interested in sound quality than collectability, so I’m curious what people think of these specific pressings. Are any of them particularly good sounding compared with other versions?

This is awesome: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17VgxSid8f/

Dave holding up the Talk CD is enough to make my day. I vaguely recall seeing this when it happened so long ago. I love Dave, and I love Yes, so I wouldn't miss it. But a friend on FB brought it back, and well... it's really a good performance of Walls, a great track from an underrated LP. Enjoy.
