    Well, when I say YES.................
    Jon Anderson has been replaced by Benoit David & Rick Wakeman has been replaced by his son, Oliver.
    But Steve Howe, Chris Squire & Alan White are still there. Thankfuklly, the scary-looking Rabin is nowhere to be seen! Friends of mine from the states saw them in concert over there recently. While they were disappointed by Jon's absence in particular, they reckon Howe & Squire are playing at an amazing level, the new singer does a great job & that it was possibly the best of many Yes gigs they've attended.
    Anyway, the show rolls into the Olympia in Dublin on Nov 26th.
    I'm supposed to be saving for a long winter holiday, but I think I'll crack open the piggy bank for this one.
    I saw Yes a few times in the 70's & 80's, I love the music & despite the constant in-fighting, they always managed to put on a pretty good show.
    Any other Yes fans around? Any of you tempted to see the show?

    Yes I was seriously thinking of going to this myself, even just to see Steve Howe play is enough for me. I think Jon Anderson's absence might be a plus for some, his high pitch vocals can be a bit much. Any idea of what the set list is?

    The new singer sounds extremely like Jon Anderson so anyone looking a escape without ringing eardrums is in for a shock ;)

    I've been waiting to see these guys for years & they come the 1 year I'm moving down to Cork... Typical! :rolleyes:

    Damn I'd love to go but what with school and all.

    On the US tour Asia acted as support and Steve Howe played both sets. I've seen them before but without Anderson no thanks.
