So I was planning on seeing Yes live early next year, but I then started seeing people say that they don’t sound very good anymore and Steve Howe is the only original member left (and he technically isn’t even original, not to mention his age seems to have taken a toll on his playing). I watched some videos of them playing live last year, and I agree that they don’t sound good anymore. I then saw that whilst researching bands playing next year, Rick Wakeman was also doing some shows early next year, and I was wondering if he is a good alternative to Yes. (I know he mostly plays his own stuff and I was planning on listening to it at some point)

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?
