Any new tour news?

[Paul Newman]

I'm holding out for a show in Madison, WI. It would be a great place to play!

My wife is a massage therapist. I tried to contact someone from Yes to see if they'd be interested in pre-show therapeutic massage. She also does great hot-rock and Thai massage. Never got a good reply though. Too bad. They'd love it!!!

Is Robert Redford a YES fan too?OH BAD JOKE.Sorry Paul.I am waiting for the local radio station to release the Jones Beach lineup.Stay tuned. JOE

My old stomping grounds - Kings Park. My first Yes show - Nassau Mosolium.

fingers crossed

Hey Paul (I didn't know you were a Yes fan!) regarding your wife being a massage therapist, my brother's girlfriend's friend is one too and she worked on Kenny Loggins once and now he keeps calling her when he is in town. I wonder if those guys already have their supports in place--given that they have been touring for soooo many years and sooooo many people love them and want to help them out.

And by the way, Welcome Paul Newman. I love your movies!

Thanks for the welcome. I've been reading these posts for some time, but never registered. I could swear I've posted before though. Has this site always been registration only?

As for massage, I figured they were all set too, but my wife is outstanding - and I say this with as little bias as possible. I just listen to her clients - people with degenerative muscle diseases or chronic pain who feel like they've been "cured" after her sessions.

Anyway, if anyone from Yes reads this, the offer still stands for the Madison-Milwaukee-Chicago-Minneapolis, etc. area.

Later.

Yes, Tim opened the site up briefly to non-registered users but then closed it again--so you are thinking correctly!

Glad you decided to get legal and sign up!

Thanks. I'm trying to get my sister's AmEx number to set up a second registration at TicketScrewers.com

i'm not sure if it's worth it. I've seen mixed opinions on whether there's an advantage to the pre-sale or if TM didn't get the best seats anyway. Either way, I want to be ready. I'm sick of trying so hard to get tickets only to end up with mediocre seats. After 25 years, I deserve a break!!! :)

Any thoughts on pre-sale?

[mrgone3]

I went with pre sale hoping to get good tix.I got third tier by mixing board.What the flock?A guy by me went on day of public sale and got orchestra.Sixth row! I feel used and idiotic to believe all this pre sale hype.And AMEX really blows! I'm peeved.I got a chance of redemption for Jones Beach and Radio City Music Hall. JOE

[Paul Newman]

This seems to be the impression I'm getting. I guess all I can do is try the pre-sale on TicketBlow.com and if the seats that come up aren't excellent, wait for the public sale. I hate the way you get jacked around by ticket brokers - and that's all they are.

good luck.

I'm thinking there's got to be a way of insuring you get better than average seats. I was first in line at the public sale for last year's Milwaukee show and ended up with 28th row. I was lucky in the respect that there aren't really any bad seats at that venue, but that's not the case most places. If they have on-line pre-sale shouldn't we get some sort of advantage for using it. If not I think I'll just roll the dice with the public sale again. You'd think that after all the bands that have tried to cicumvent ticketmonopoly USA, someone would of figured out a way to actually do it. They really do have us right where they want us and they know it.

[Paul Newman]

Well, It seems that Madison isn't going to happen. The closest looks like Chicago Theater. I've never been there, but it's a long drive. I hope I can get good seats :(

Good luck to all! See you there.

Wow, Joanne Woodward is a massage therapist! I swear, I learn new things every day on Yesfans. I loved the Paul Newman chocolate-chocolate chip cookies, but I can't find them anyplace anymore.

Peace, Love, and Kidding, Kidding!,

Man! I'm taking a lot of abuse here :) Blame my parents. I had no say in the matter!

See ya!
