    I saw them 3 or four times on their tours in the 1990s.

    I've seen Yes about that many. I wish I saw Floyd or the Stones or the Who.

    I feel bad I'll never get to see Yes live, or Floyd. Or Genesis.

    I've seen Yes 4 times, the Stones twice, and Floyd twice. I'm pretty cool.

    Yes still tours. They're playing at Humphries here in SD this summer.

    Even though they're old, they still play extremely well.

    You'll see Revelation within your lifetime, according to Pat Boone.

    It'd require a decent amount of travel for me to see them, though. I wish I'd been able to see them supporting Fly From Here, because the Drama lineup was always my favorite for some reason.

    Check out the Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe album. Terrific.

    Except those guys are like, the opposite of the Drama lineup. :ghoti:

    I have all the Yes albums and various side-projects; ABWH is good but not my bag; Some of Keys to Ascension and The Ladder are great, plus pretty much all of Fly From Here except that one awful Chris Squire song.

    William Hung could do Zeppelin live better than Zeppelin. I've never heard a live Zeppelin song that didn't make my skin crawl.

    A faithful rendition of the original means

    Heart added nothing original to the song.

    That was their intent.
