No mention on the insecure Yesworld site yet, but see the "UNION 30 LIVE
OFFICIAL STORE"[1] for all the good including the $299.99 Yes – Union
Live Limited Edition, Super Deluxe Flight Case and $350 Ultra Rare Test
Pressings.

A rare cut from the show interspersed with some details of the
release[2] can be found on Rick's and Gonzo's YouTube channels.

Re: Prog Top 40 List

 

Hello J,

Your top 4 would be in my top 5 to be sure, although with me the order keeps changing, "depending on the day..."? I have no idea what the other track in my top 5 would be, but if we are including live tracks, it would probably be one of the Genesis In The Cage to Afterglow medleys.

Good to see Our Song and Hearts in there, as well as Homeworld.? Somewhere in my 50 would be New Languages, and probably Cinema!? But it is all so difficult!

More later,
Cheers, A!

Very good.

50 years of Yes too......now into God is an Astronaut, Russian Circles and St3ven Wilson and Mogwai.

Really think Yes doEd not produce GREAT after Going for the One.

Keep with your belief ........

Hello, folks,

You will remember that I recently threatened to unleash my list of top 40-ish Prog songs of all time.?

So brace yourselves.?

It is an ever-changing list; sort of like an ever-evolving COVID-19 variant.?

And here are two qualifications before I unveil the list.

First, a piece like “The Remembering” is placed very high on the list, entirely on the strength of its second half. The first eight minutes are not great, while the last 11 or 12 minutes are mostly fantastic. I did not really know what to do about that, so I am honoring the quality of the second half by placing the overall work very high on this list.?

Second, a piece like “Karn Evil 9” (ELP) may appear to be too low on the list for some of you. If that is your opinion, then I am sympathetic. However, as much as I love Emerson and Palmer, Lake’s guitar and bass work sounds pretty average to me. And, I might make the claim that those instruments are “fraudulently" presented on “Karn Evil 9” since he cannot play them both at once, yet we hear them both at once. That damages both the sophistication and the quality of the music, IMHO. (Yes, I know that Howe overdubs like a son-of-a-Gibson on pretty much every Yes song, but he can still play the primary parts live.)?

Here are my choices in (an ever-changing) order:
(The top four or five are fairly secure - everything else seems to slide around, depending on the day or my mood.)

Close to the Edge
Awaken
Gates
Southside of the Sky
The Revealing Science of God
The Remembering
The Ancient?
Roundabout?
Turn of the Century?
Long Distance Runaround?
Run Through the Light
On the Silent Wings of Freedom
Siberian Khatru?
Starship Trooper?
And You and I
Genesis, Watcher of the Skies
ELP, Karn Evil 9
King Crimson, 21st Century Schizoid Man
Spock’s Beard, Go the Way You Go
Heart of the Sunrise
Spock’s Beard, Harm’s Way
Spock’s Beard, The Doorway?
Our Song
Chris Squire, Safe (Canon Song)
Genesis, One for the Vine
Gong, Wingful of Eyes
Spock’s Beard, June
Hearts?
Genesis, For Absent Friends?
Genesis, Mad Man Moon
Genesis, Anyway
Ritual
Patrick Moraz, Dancing Now
Genesis, In the Rapids / It
Genesis, Supper’s Ready?
Onward
Sound Chaser
Genesis, Return of the Giant Hogweed
Tempus Fugit?
Into the Lens
Homeworld?
Future Times / Rejoice

I also want to say that if we were counting live versions, the live version of “Yours is no Disgrace” would probably be in the top five on my overall list. That thing is a total blast.

The floor is now open for opinions, insults, and semi-lucid conversation.?

Thanks,

J

Hello, everyone,

?

This is my 50th year listening to Yes. (Or, perhaps it is my 49th year. Everything is getting a bit fuzzy.)?

?

I am thrilled to say that, for me, Yes’ music stands the test of time. In fact, I enjoy their music even more now than I did a few years (or decades) ago.?

?

And, brace yourselves, but I have recently come to the fairly bold conclusion that the very best Prog pieces ever written were almost all written by Yes.?

?

I am talking about the top dozen or so Yes songs. And many other Prog songs in my top 40 list belong to Yes as well.

?

There is a quality to their music in terms of passion, creativity, musical structure, sensitivity, and technical skill that is rarely found anywhere else in the Prog world, IMHO.

?

With that in mind, I’d like to send my ever-changing list of the top 40ish Prog rock pieces, by any band, for your consideration. And I would love to hear where you agree and/or disagree.

?

If any of you have your own similar lists, I would enjoy seeing those as well.

?

As point of reference: I only have one life-long Yes friend with whom I can talk about Yes. (We went to elementary school, junior high, and high school together - and we discovered Yes together in high school).?

?

And since he is an otherwise normal human, I probably should give him a break from my Yes ramblings.?

?

That’s where you all come in.?

?

I realize this may be the last thing you want or need. So just say the word and I will slink away.

Don't worry about me; I have Netflix AND Hulu.??

?

And here's a video of Jon's latest song



It's called "Go Screw Yourself (election edit)." Right off the bat you're thinking, "...that's a Jon song?" But yes, it is. He's pissed and it even includes the phrase "soulless M*F*ers." At least that's what I heard at about 2:50.

Overall I think the song is pretty good. I think a different approach to the production would have been better. It feels too dense to me. I kind of feel the same about the song Going for the One.

On the official YouTube channel[1] we got a second track from The Royal
Affair Tour in Las Vegas: "I've Seen All Good People"[2]. If you're
missing the other official Jon[3], then he has been very busy of late
posting Yes and other tracks.

Amazon Prime subscribers can find several albums[4] including the Rhino
"Deluxe Editions" and "The BBC Recordings 1969-1970"[6].
