Your average youth who is really into music

[Shroomadelic]

Ive been into yes for like 4 years and I love em. The music, the lyrics, ect. A band with talent like this ahs inspried me to great heights. :drmmr: I think because I am only 15 that I have missed the oppurtunity to see them in concert fo real.

Hi and welcome to Yesfans! I'm glad to see another young fan of Yes. It's nice to meet you. I discovered Yes at age 11. Even if you haven't seen them in concert there are many dvd's out there that you can enjoy. I hope you'll like being here.

There is a surpiseingly high amount of young yes fans around! being young well i class 22 as young, myself and although i have seen yes 8 times i still feel gutted that i have missed out on the 70s,80 and most of the 90 s yes concerts.

I never got to see them in the 70's I wish I had.

I saw them in the 70s and they were great. The Close To The Edge and Topographic tours.

The downside? I'm old now. You cant have everything! :winknudge

Call me an optimist shroomadelic, but I think we're going to get one more tour out of Yes before they hang up their hats.

BTW, you have great taste in music!

Ditto here, Heathcliff! But, I think we got a good deal nonetheless ;).

My eldest daughter is now singing in a Lynrdy Skinnyrd (I don't know HOW the hell to spell that, ...never got into them) tribute band, ...they're playing at The Palms, Las Vegas next month... and have plenty of other gigs ahead that will pay more than I've seen in a month of sundays!

God bless her, she does well, ...and sings like nobody's business!

Shroom: An interesting fungus there my friend!

Now lend an ear to an old fart, I promise to not pontificate too much! :lmao:: Shrooms/etc are fun, but this very moment, the now of now for you is important...

The greatest drug of influence right now is the written word: I kid you not! Read read read...

And practice your instrument. The world needs drummers. Now is the time to read Edgar Allen Poe, to discover the mind altering drug by the name of William Burroughs, ...to hold Ginsberg's 'HOWL' to your soul, to bay at the purple moon past midnight.

Shrooms are better when you've read the prophets. Then it truly means something. When you turn 18, you own yourself. At that point, do whatever psychotropic you wish, dance the dance, but have some words and experience in tow.

Carpe Momentum...

Best of days to you friend,
READ! Think. Be.

There ya go: wisdom from an old hippy fart!

So glad you found Yes, you rock dude!

Absolutely. We got to be there for one of the greatest periods in music and experience it all first hand. It was a very exciting period to be a music fan and concertgoer.

And concerts were so much cheaper then, adjusted for inflation,etc. You could go to all of them; it wasnt even something you thought about.

I remember seeing ELP, Frank Zappa and The Who all in the same week.What would that run two people these days? $600? Way more?

I know when the Stones went through this neck of the woods last summer, it as $250 ( Canadian) per ticket.U2 was about the same. You can buy a lot of DVDs and popcorn for that kinda loot. :D

The world needs musicans of all types.Though it may seem that all music these days is written and performed by computers, with some photogenic young person pretending to be the singer, this too shall pass.

For every action , there is a reaction. Hopefully, the age of plastic music will trigger a backlash and the record industry will see the folly of their ways and go back to looking for bands and artists who actually have something to say instead of just looking good on television.
