Yes/Styx Summer 2011 Setlist

[JoEy YeS]

From the official press release

"YES’ performance will feature the title track from their new album FLY FROM HERE as well as the hugely successful and indelible catalogue of music from hit albums such as DRAMA, FRAGILE, CLOSE TO THE EDGE and 90125. Classics such as “Roundabout,” a seminal hit which consistently appears on “the best songs of all-time” lists, and the group’s #1 hit “Owner of a Lonely Heart” are sure to be featured for an evening of music not to be missed."

My speculation of the setlist will be (order is a fun guess, shouldn't be taken literally):

i) Firebird
1) Siberian Khatru
2) Tempus Fugit
3) All Good People
4) Onward
5) Fly From Here
6) Steve Solo
7) Machine Messiah
8) And You And I
9) Owner of a Lonely Heart
10) Starship Trooper
11) Roundabout

I didn't calculate the length, i may have fallen too short, but I'm heading into a meeting so I can't look much further into it haha :theband:

[jregg]

Throw in the set Man in a white car.

[JeffMatheus]

I hope that there is more the one song from the new album played. The press release specifies that they will play the "title track", but hopefully there will be more new music than that, being the first tour with the first new album in 10 years or so!

[Rabin105]

I want more new music!

[profusion]

My speculation of the setlist will be (order is a fun guess, shouldn't be taken literally):

i) Firebird
1) Siberian Khatru
2) Tempus Fugit
3) All Good People
4) Onward
5) Fly From Here
6) Steve Solo
7) Machine Messiah
8) And You And I
9) Owner of a Lonely Heart
10) Starship Trooper
11) Roundabout


That looks pretty close to me. Might be a little long, though. If anything gets cut, it would probably be "Machine Messiah."

I'm guessing that any of the "side two" tracks from FFH will have to wait for another club/theater tour.

[Jackaranda]

I would imagine there will be a bit more from the new album....and maybe VKTRS? Benoit could sing it.

Come to think of it, Yes could be doing Heat Of the Moment!

[The Whale]

Wouldnt suprise me if there was an agrement to play HotM to get Geoff in. But I would rather hear Midnight Sun! (not thet that will happen)

My hope is that they drop some of the older more tierd songs and add some fresh songs from the new album.

I reckon will open with

Does it really happen instead of SK

maybe Soon rather than Onward

otherwise you will likely be right

[The Whale]

I would love to hear Onward but Soon with out jon is just plain wrong.

[WilB1972]

I can't help but think they will take advantage of Jon's absence to do some Drama tracks, probably Does It Really Happen or Machine Messiah. Tempus Fugit would be cool too.
I think they will probably do some Rabin-era stuff, of course Owner. Maybe Rhythm of Love? Since they are on the bill with another "classic rock" band, I think both groups will stick mostly to hits.

I'm thinking that's probably very close to the mark. They've already talked about doing WCFFH, and since it's 20 minutes long, that may be the only new song. The press release also mentions Drama, 90125 and the classic '71-'72 albums. The more time passes, the less likely fan favorites like TBO, OTSWOF and "The Remembering" will ever be performed by the group again.

[smatt]

Drop Onward.... And look for HoTS :headset:

[allen toth]

With Geoff in the Band, I don't see them Dropping Machine Messiah.

[JimSVoit]

I am looking forward to hearing to this tour soooooooo much! That's an understatement!

[JoEy YeS]

That would make me happy lol. Hope u rnt being a tease smatty me lad

Ad "Does It Really Happen". They just have to play that one.

[Mostly Harmless]

I'm really hoping for more new material.

[CybrKhatru]

With Geoff in the Band, I don't see them Dropping Machine Messiah.

I hope they do keep MM in the set.

[CybrKhatru]

I'm really hoping for more new material.

It would be cool and ballsy to do the whole new record plus Machine Messiah and the obligatory hits (Roundabout, All Good People etc..). Not likely but cool!! :D

[relayeire]

I'm really hoping for more new material.

According to Chris, there should be at least 20 minutes of it (WCFFH). However, he also said they'd be pulling out some old gems for the RoS Tour...

If you've seen them in the last 3 years you'd basically be paying to hear FFH (if this is indeed the set they choose). I'd hope they'd be a bit more daring with their set. Does it Really Happen, On the Silent Wings of Freedom, 3 new songs and a wild card, say I'm Running and I would be there.

[smatt]

That would make me happy lol. Hope u rnt being a tease smatty me lad


Well, the way I see it.. They will get about 1hour 30-40 min.. No then they have to play Roundabout, OoaLH, and AGP, of course the new WCFFH... OK, so you're looking at roughly 50 min there.. Howe solo 5 min.... Alright so about 40 minutes left.. So you could notch in Machine Messiah, Tempus Fugit, 20 left... Now then, being that they're playing with Styx they want to keep the tempo up... So.. HotS makes perfect sense... Maybe SK... But I would hope they would drop SK for something else.

This is me guessing here... Nothing I've heard would lead to such a conclusion...

I don't see a groundbreaking set.. Sure they COULD pull out something like Does it Really Happen from Drama... That would be cool.... Anything else though.. I just don't see it happening.. Perhaps they will leave a quik Soon in as well... While I still think Soon is too Jon connected, Chris loves to play it ...

This seems likely. Also, since they dropped AYAI on the last tour, they might bring it back. Never gone very long without doing that one.

PS: Didn't know Chris loved "Soon." Seems more like a Steve favorite. Interesting.

[Dont Kill the Whale]

1) Themes
2) Fly From Here
3) Does It Really happen
4) South Side of the Sky
5) Sound Chaser
6) Into The Lens
7) On The Silent Wings of Freedom
8) Parallels
9) Owner/Video Killed the Radio Star/Roundabout medley
10) Perpetual Change (a fitting title to end with)

hopefully the setlist is that long. anyone heard how long each band will play and if they will be equal length whether opening or closing?

[somissound]

FFH
ISAGP
Lift Me Up
HOTS
MM
OOALH
Future Times
Hearts
Does It Really Happen
Roundabout
and- Starship Trooper!



and of coarse slip in Sound Chaser or To Be Over wherever!

90 minutes seems about right , Styx opened their headlining tour in AZ with a 92 minute set.

[Mind Driver]

I would love to hear Onward but Soon with out jon is just plain wrong.

They have played Onward since BD joined the band - at his request!

You are right about Soon.

[PriceIV]

Does anyone know what song Stux was using for their intro music at the beginning of their set? It comes before Blue Collared Man when thy walk onto the stage.

With the inclusion of "Machine Messiah," "SK" and a Steve solo, I think that this was a better setlist than what they actually did on the tour! Well-picked!
