Tour Dates being announced [Archive] - Yesfans.com: Founded 4/01

7-26 is the Chicago rumor I heard. It looks like they are starting in the Northwest and traveling to the major northern cities and coming back through the south to end up in LA. It will be nice when they give us all the details.

Jeffrae

04-25-2002, 02:35 PM

Yeah That would be nice

But in the mean time.. Check out the Chicago Yes News! (http://www.yesfans.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2108) website!!

For those interested in such things Yes will be at the Tweeter Center( Boston area) 8/2/02 according to today's Boston Herald.

Barry Sanchez

What about Atlanta, Ga.? Sure hope the make it back this year.

04-26-2002, 01:11 AM

Thanks Relayer51! I wonder why the this info goes to the newspapers before it gets to YesWorld?

Tim, do you have any insight on this?

And to Relayer51 and Barry Sanchez, a happy welcome to the site--to both of you! Glad you could join our party!

Hmmm. I was planning to go to Fiji with Jennifer (Lopez) and Pam (Anderson) on the 23rd of August. Damn! I guess I'll have to break my date. Boy!, will they be disappointed. Oh well. one gotta do, what one's gotta do. On the other hand, maybe they can buy my YES tickets instead

04-26-2002, 01:26 AM

Makes sense to me YYY!

Thank you. I'll just pop in every so often.

Right now you'll have to excuse me. I have people to call, tickets to buy and a limo to hire.

Going to a YesShow is like planning the invasion of Normandy.

It is all in the logistics.........................

04-26-2002, 10:06 AM

Is Lynn Mass that remote? I know there are a lot of remote areas in Mass but not sure where Lynn is located.

Relayer51

04-26-2002, 10:16 AM

A little north of Boston up along what we call the North Shore.
Salem Mass is the next city going north.

Actually Lynn is the 3rd or 4th most populated city in Mass.

04-26-2002, 10:18 AM

Any clue about a European tour. I can't afford a trip to the US.

nightliner

04-26-2002, 10:22 AM

According to an email I recently got from someone I know in the UK, he understands there will be a European tour, however he isn't sure if it will be this year or next.

Australia is also still a possibility, so Yes Oz and Brismike, etc, there is still hope for you.

Then I'm really confused. Why does so much planning need to go into attending a Yes show?

Relayer51

04-26-2002, 10:45 AM

yessiree

ahhh, now I get your drift.

It is not a matter of geography. After all, once in the limo, it's party time.

The work is in pulling it together with about 8-10 people.
Never a simple task.

04-26-2002, 10:46 AM

Oh, I see. Sounds like a labor of love though!

Relayer51

04-26-2002, 11:03 AM

Got that right.

I've been to every show in this area since 1971 or so.

Been taking my daughter sine 1984 (my penalty was a Debbie Gibson show).

Now her husband has no choice and if all goes well they will still be touring
7 or 8 years form now and I will have the chance to take my grand-daughter.

Yes: my legacy.

04-26-2002, 11:13 AM

And what a wonderful legacy it is! Another example of fine parenting!

yesfandoug

04-26-2002, 11:27 AM

Hopefully there will be a show in North Carolina this year. I saw the tour with Kansas in Raleigh and it was absolutely awesome.

Dragonfly

04-26-2002, 01:02 PM

Still no sign of Yes at the Concord (Chronicle) Pavilion - and their calendar goes out to August.

I'm sure they'll stop there. It's the perfect size for this tour (and they ALWAYS play there.)

I actually live closer to Sacramento. I wonder if they'll hit Arco Arena.

Dragonfly :yesbird:

gt76yesman

04-26-2002, 02:44 PM

Dragon fly, still nothing....But no mention of Friday 7/19 or Saturday 7/20 shows, so maybe one of those dates. Otherwise it would probably be after LA in August. :-(

I am closer to the Sacto Amp then Concord, but have lots of friends in Concord to stay with. Seen YES about 5 times at Concord starting with the Union tour.

Still holding out hope for 7/19 at Konocti Harbor! Please, please play Konocti!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dakini

04-27-2002, 06:21 PM

I saw YES at the Arco for the Union tour....it sucked! I mean the sound did anyway. It was like hearing them inside a big toilet bowl. Another thing was that the staff there were really rude. Constantly harrassing people. I had one guy threaten to throw me out if I didn't quit taking pictures! I didn't even have a camera with me! The guys sitting behind me stood up and told the guy to leave me alone that I wasn't doing anything.....he finally went away. Weird...very weird. it really put a damper on my evening with all the interuptions. so.....please...no Arco! how about that new place near Marysville? can't think of the name at the moment.

Dragonfly

04-27-2002, 07:42 PM

Ya know, Dakini, I heard that on the TALK tour, the Arco Arena ended up giving tickets away two for the price of one! Even then the place didn't fill half way. (This from the place that sould out five consecutive nights of Garth Brooks in four hours.:rolleyes:) I was told the performance suffered as a result poor audience enthusiasm as well as the bad acoustics.

I guess I should be hoping they come as close as Concord and not make me drive all the way to Shoreline in Redwood City (stage where "An Evening Of Yes Music Plus" was shot. (The night of my first Yes concert!))

Dragonfly :yesbird:

Dakini

04-27-2002, 09:34 PM

Dragonfly I was at that same show at the Shoreline. It was also my first time seeing YES live. I had heaven. Seems we have a few things in common. I live about 5 hrs drive from the bayarea.
About a fat 3 plus from Sac. Would love seeing them at Konocti.
I have a drive ahead of me no matter where I see them. The price of living in the mountains. Whatever it takes though. Maybe they will show in Reno but something tells me they won't. Perhaps I will fly down to LA to see em.

Dragonfly

04-27-2002, 10:39 PM

Well, Dakini, it's funny you should mention Konocti Harbor. The last YesShow I saw was MAGNIFICATION at Konocti - front row, center! Aaaaah!

Don't mean to be a jerk about it, but it was worth the effort it took to get those seats. Even scored same-day admissions to Yescapade.

What a weekend THAT was!

Perhaps we should get together before or at the next show.

Keep in touch!

Dragonfly :yesbird:

04-28-2002, 07:22 AM

Definitely hoping for a NC show... Saw Raleigh and Charlotte Masterworks shows and they were both excellent, but the Charlotte show/energy/crowd was better. No offense to Yesfandoug, but I hope they DON"T play Greensboro... the coliseum is awful.

Dakini

04-28-2002, 10:36 AM

Dragonfly how wonderful you made it for front row seats at Konocti. I was about 7th row on the end in front of Steve but could see an empty seat in the front row and when the security was busy escorting someone out of that section I made a dash for the front row seat. That was about the last 30 mins or so of the show. It was so wonderful! I had a great time at that show.
Didn't make it for YEScapade as I had to work that day. I bought my ticket outside right before the show. Met up with some fans I had met at the Reno venue. All great people! That was the last time I saw them. Sure lets meet this tour before or after...

RobAdams

04-29-2002, 02:50 AM

It would be best for me if YES played at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Saratoga NY. I figure it's a good chance since they did on the last two tours. Maybe the last 3 or 4?

I'm hoping to get a 2nd show this tour, so The Oakdale Theater in Wallingford CT, or the Charles Ives Center wherever in CT that is would be cool. I could stay at my aunt's house.

All I know is that the minute I see anything about shows in my area I will post what I know.

gt76yesman

04-29-2002, 04:41 PM

Noword, no leaks, no rumors, nothing.........will there be a NoCal show? At least Sacto Amp, Concord and Konocti have free dates around July 19-20.

Go Konocti, Go Konocti, GO KONOCTI!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! Come on!!!!

yesmandroc

04-29-2002, 05:41 PM

Any word on a CT show?
i and i, did you see the show last year at the Ives Center? I go to school there so all i had to do was walk out of my dorm to see Yes! I love it!

RobAdams

04-30-2002, 04:15 AM

I missed out on the YES SYMPHONIC tour. I was having financial havoc at the time. This year will be different. I'm going no matter what. I've never been to the IVES.

The PNC Art Center in Holmdel NJ has announced a YES date of 8/6/02.

Howeru....PNC just updated their site. Yes is confirmed for 8/6 and tix go on sale this Sat, May 4th.

Don....I'm keeping my eyes and ears open for Philly dates and venue as well.

Squireaholic

04-30-2002, 12:44 PM

ww.ticketmaster.com lists Yes
@ PNC Holmdel NJ 8/6- tix on sale tomorrow (5/1) @ 9AM
@Universal Ampitheater, Universal City, CA 8/23- tix not on sale yet.
I'll check in at Ticketmaster daily and report here...

RobAdams

Squireaholic

04-30-2002, 03:51 PM

cc.com (Clearchannel entertainment's tix site) lists Yes @ City Lights in Denver 8/16; tix on sale Saturday, 5/4...

I'm trying to confirm Tweeter Center in Boston area for 8/2...

nightliner

04-30-2002, 03:56 PM

I know someone who lives in the Boston area and she has confirmed that date is correct. Still no offical word on tickets. One report said this Saturday, another mentioned the beginning of June.

nightliner

04-30-2002, 04:09 PM

Here's something for you to ponder. I wrote to Mike at Yesworld asking if the Holdmel date was correct since it isn't listed on Yesworld. He confirmed the date, but said the management didn't want it advertised yet. Something about Tickemaster jumping the gun.

Doesn't make sense. He was also offended that I suggest he update Yesworld.

So it appears this is the place to be to get the most up to date informaton. Yesworld is behing the times.

Trooper1129

04-30-2002, 04:40 PM

YesWorld just updated the site and listed the PNC show....It's pretty bad when we know before they announce it...so much for YesWorld pre-sale....

That's true, Joe. (About two hours away.) And I enjoy a nice drive. It would be more convenient closer to home, but convenience is a sacrifice I'll gladly accept when it comes to Yes.

Trooper1129

04-30-2002, 05:01 PM

Don't worry donner (Ha, that's what my brother calls me...my name is Donna but he always adds the R just to annoy me) YesWorld said they are posting a complete schedule on Monday and I am fairly certain that there will be a Philly date included.

Keep your fingers crossed.

I haven't seen the updated Yesworld, but I'm glad to hear he changed his mind, and reailzed my information was correct and worth announcing.

If they are to list the dates on Monday, I bet we know them Saturday.

gt76yesman

04-30-2002, 07:13 PM

Squireaholic, does this mean 2 dates in Denver? Argh, that I had moved to Denver this spring, but alass I am stuck in NoCal. :-(

I have to drive over 2 hours to Konocti Harbor, but there are some beautiful hot springs to camp at about 20 minutes away from Konocti!

05-01-2002, 09:08 AM

I hope they have a Philly date, I think it sucks they don't announce them at the same time so one could choose. I hope a Saratoga and either a Buffalo, Rochester, or Syracuse show is added as well (sorry about being greedy). The Finger lakes PAC is also a possibilty for that area. I'm debateing if I should get Holmden tickets on the AMEX presale.

gt76yesman

05-01-2002, 09:45 AM

Dragonfly, sorry if I miss led you to believe I knew of any NoCal dates. It is just wishful thinking. I haven't even heard the slightest rumor of any show. We have often been blessed with shows at the beginning and ending of US tours, I hope they don't forget us. :-(

mrgone3

05-01-2002, 10:34 AM

Hey fans.I got fooled yesterday.I was tricked into thinking only AMEX card holders had special dibs for presale today In NJ!I went to Ticketmaster at 10:00 to try.Wouldn't you know I got tickets no problem.ON SALE NOW!Get 'em!I'm in the third section again>G**DAMN IT! JOE

Trooper1129

05-01-2002, 10:45 AM

Hey mrgone3....I was online at 8:50 am with my fingers at the ready. Took me forever and the best I could do was section 204 in the 6th row....sigh. Where are all the front orchestra seats?

Anyway, at least I have tix and I go back sporatically and check for better seats. I've actually gotten better orch seats a week or so before the concert when I had already purchased loge seats the day they go on sale...go figure.

My policy is to get decent seats the first day and then upgrade and sell my originals. I haven't gotten stuck with a Yes tix yet.

See you there!

mrgone3

05-01-2002, 10:51 AM

Alot of those good seats go to promotional people.Beer,Radio stations,Snack vendors,Concert promoters and beer.Oh I said beer.but I like Beer!So here I am stuck in the third row.Maybe I'll check out e-bay.Britney Sperm is going for 1,000 bucks!YIKES SCOOBY! JOE

05-01-2002, 04:35 PM

All you Northern Californians:

I just checked the Konocti website, and they're showing a July 19th show for Yes!!! Tickets go on sale May 12th. I've checked venues in the Bay Area (Chronicle Pavilion, Shoreline) and nothing yet.

CathyG

05-01-2002, 04:44 PM

I just got off the phone with Konocti - they are not taking any room reservations until the concert tix go on sale. That's 2 pm on May 12th (what a great Mother's Day present!).

Maybe I should give them a call.
There's got to be someplace in CT -- it is where RI proggers go to see shows becuase RI is the land of the dead for prog rock!!

By some miracle of God, the band I'm in is booked only on Sat. the 27th that weekend....as soon as I heard of the possibility of the 26th, I grabbed our bandleader by the sleeve, and told him NOT TO BOOK THE 26th, that I had something VERY important to do that night......He says, "What's going on?"....I say, "Well, um, YES IS COMING TO TOWN THAT DAY, AND WAKEMAN IS BACK WITH THEM, and I WILL be there!!!! I HAVE to be there!!!" He looked at me, paused, and said, "Well, ok, I'll keep that date open." WOO-HOO!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (God bless 'im!!)

don't give up hope on CT. On the Masterworks tour they played the Meadows in Hartford, so that's still a possibility. Not to mention The Oakdale and possibly Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. Not ideal, but better than nothing!
