If Rabin did a tour of mainly Yes songs.....

[Jackaranda]

Lets say TR decided to put together a first rate touring band and hit the road to do a tour that consisted of about 80-90 per cent Yes songs during his era, plus some solo material. Would you go?

[Silent_wings]

Sure I go, but I also go if he was just doing solo stuff. :D

[ycantibu]

It's been ten years, I'd go see him regardless of what he performed. Now, having said that, I'd hope he doesn't go that route. A few yes songs maybe. I'd prefer mostly his solo work and maybe even some Rabbitt thrown in. Here's hoping for a tour, someday. :cheers:

[Thoughtbecontact]

This is a no-brainer. Of course I would go! Anything by Trevor would be wonderful!

[tardistraveler]

I would go if he were playing Nashville. Might travel - would just depend on finances at the time! I'm sure it would be an enjoyable concert. And like Ycantibu, I'd go see him whether he was performing any Yes stuff or not.

[Jackaranda]

Well I think it'd be great, and would be a nice compliment to the current line-up if TR never joins again. If he did songs, mind you, he'd have to have a great band, like Endless Dream and Changes and I'm Running and Hold On, etc....then other goodies, yeah, it'd be great.

Besides, if this ever happened, I seriously doubt the current line up would even consider songs from the Rabin era.

[madmanmoon]

Personally I would walk over hot coals to see him live. Last time I saw him was with Yes in 1984 on the 90125 tour. The only other time I had a chance was on the 'Onion' tour.

And due to other commitments never had a chance to see it.

Yes stuff, solo stuff bring it on :)

[Alex-a]

I would go b/c it was Trevor, and I'd tell him to play more of his solo material!!!

[ycantibu]

Is this something the current line-up would consider anyway, though?

[Q]

what a great idea, jack!

i'm going to ponder this and see if i can come up with a set list that i think would be thrilling ...

[illusion]

I voted no, but I would go if it was cheap. I don't have as much monety as you lot...

[Q]

If the ticket price were affordable, illusion, which tunes would appeal to you?

Q

[illusion]

Changes, Our Song, I Am Waiting, Shoot High Aim Low, I would say Holy Lamb but that's more of a Jon song than a Rabin tune. That's it, actually. Make it five songs because he can probably do a decent guitar solo spot.

Now you see why I don't want to pay a lot, since I don't have any great interest in Rabin.

[Martin Riley]

I'd go.

The Calling, Endless Dream, Changes,Rhythm of Love............roll 'em on

[Earl Grey]

I would pay to hear Trev 'rev' his telecaster up and jam on Holy Lamb for two hours straight...

He could do it. He played the perfect riffs on the recording. I would pay $ to hear him come-up with more of the same...

Just Holy Lamb. That would be enough.

Nothing short of inspired.

Two hours straight, then we go out for coffee... ('Tea? What the HELL is THAT Shi...?! Guinness Stout here on out...).

:ele:

[Rabin105]

This would be the only shot at seeing rabin material preformed live. The current line up won't do it the only cover band in the area won't do it (again why call your band cinema if you hate the 80's call it future times or awaken) I have only seen hearts cinema and owner prefomed live durring the ladder tour (still pissed that owner was only in amsterdam why didn't they do it over here) so beside getting a delorian to go 88 mph :lol: this would be my only shot at seeing the rabin tunes live

[JudysTrevor]

Heck YES!!! I'm still dreaming of seeing him live for the first time.

Judy

[YESYOUANDI]

Heck no.
I would save the dosh to buy tickets for the real YES.
Hell--and those tickets ain't cheep you know!!
Cheers fans.

All yes is real yes (heck in a world where abwh is yes that trevor certantly qualifies)

[Jackaranda]

Wouldn't it be something if he actually OPENED for Yes?

One problem: He might just steal the show.........

[Nut]

I would love to see him. I missed his last Solo tour in AZ. I was busy that night helping my wife deliver a baby. Some things are more important.

[Nut]

But not many.

[tardistraveler]

LOL, Nut! Glad to see you posting more out here after getting to know you in chat!

Yeah, a few things are more important.

I missed seeing the Union tour because I was 8 months pregnant, they weren't playing Nashville, and I just didn't think it was a good idea to travel 230 miles to Atlanta by myself (I couldn't find anyone else who wanted to go with me) with labor not THAT far off!

And I missed the Symphonic tour - had tix for Atlanta and was prepared to go when my dad fell critically ill. So, I sold the tix at a fourth of the cost, and stayed with my dad. Glad I did - as he died a month later.

But you're right - not many things are more important than seeing a great concert!

[Tonydess]

Alright,I'm glad at all the positive responses on this one.Can I add a possible setlist without his solo material?And I would like to see Chris Squire play bass on his tour!

Lift Me Up
It Can Happen
Shoot High,Aim Low
Miracle Of Life
The More We Live-Let Go
Onward-with Chris singing
Leave It
I Am Waiting
Rhythm of Love
Solly's Beard
Can You Imagine-with Chris singing
State of Play
Owner of a Lonely Heart
Cinema

[1yesfan]

He would make a great opening act. It would be VERY interesting how well it all would mesh.

[Rabin105]

I would love to hear trevor on some classic yes tunes he didn't play onward would be one of them Tempus fugit and maybe Gates of delirium.

[Jacaranda]

I would love to hear trevor on some classic yes tunes he didn't play onward would be one of them Tempus fugit and maybe Gates of delirium.

I would add "And you and I"; TR did a great job on classics during the BG tour, especially for not being really familiar with a lot of it when everybody jumped in on 90215. His guitar playing on this one is just beautiful.

[Rabin105]

Ver true His version of AYAI was cool as was his version of Sweat reams.

That's a nice list, but if you ask me, Endless Dream needs to be the last song prior to the encore.

[Rabin105]

Add Gates and Tempus to the setlist as well

[Robpremier]

If he was anywhere close to KC, I'd be there. Would love to here Trevors YES music again! The current lineup could sure use him!

[Scooty]

I would like to see Owner live

[JaneEyre]

Lets say TR decided to put together a first rate touring band and hit the road to do a tour that consisted of about 80-90 per cent Yes songs during his era, plus some solo material. Would you go?

I can't believe I haven't posted on this thread yet.

I would go if he played mostly Yes stuff, mostly solo stuff, mostly new stuff, mostly Rabbitt stuff, mostly movie soundtrack stuff, or any mixture thereof.

Would he be wearing leather pants?? :valintine

Will Judy have the seat next to me?

[Rabin105]

Rabin live cool :band:

How about both AND The Anthem can be the warm-up act?!!?

[Stever]

I only got to see Trevor with Yes, but I did recently get his Live in LA CD. Wow. I'd go see a show of his no matter what it was, but personally, I'd like to see a balanced show with some solo, maybe some Rabbitt and some Yes, all in appropriate proportion. I'd LOVE to see him do Shoot High Aim Low again. One of the best live things I ever saw Yes do. Also Endless Dream. Priceless. Man....give him a call. Let's get this booked already.

:-)

Peace,

Stever

[Rabin105]

though I 'd like to see Trevor live with yes not sure4 if and when that is going to happen. Though trevor on tour with his band I'll see that

[Jackaranda]

Well he certainly has some support around here doesn't he? It seems to me that with Yes pretty much acting nowadays as if he never existed it just makes people more anxious to see him.

But Steve would never let him back in.

You'd think that grown men in their 50's could lose the ego already.

Spoilers don't read this if you don't want to know wjhat will be added to the current setlist what is already being played and what was played last tour.
Owner 3 time
Rhythem of love on the current tour
as well as owner and I think Hold on being added to the current setlist (my source tells me 3 songs will be added Owner is one of them and since Alan played the drum solo that he used to play at the begining of hold on my guees is that will be added as well) the 3rd song if i had to make a guess (another rabin track) I am waiting Mind you also they played owner on the symphonic tour but i see what you mean only recently has steve gotten into Rabin tunes (first hand reports say Steve is really getting into Rhythm and is smiling and dnacing during the tune.)
Wish he was like this when he first rejoined yes.

[Jackaranda]

I hope it's true they are going to add a couple of more Rabin era songs. But Owner? PLEASE!!!! That's gotta be for the audience in general, not us. But if they do that, maybe a third song could be an album track. We'll see.

[Rabin105]

MJy bet it's for Rick He loves that song he calls it the roundabout of 1983. Hold on I'm sure of why else would alan play the drum solo exactly like he does on the begining of hold on live. It would make no sense. I figure that was just a tease. and I am waiting well I figure it will be done. that is a guess mind you but Hold on and Owner are pretty much deffiant I like it though more of a chance for rick to solo :keyboard:

[Earl Grey]

I would sort-of prefer hearing Trevor doing a show of all of the music he has written, before and after YES.

I am a Trevor fan.

I would enjoy anything he might play, actually...

TREV! Get out of that studio man!

Your peeps await!

All good peeps.

:ele:

[JaneEyre]

I would like to see Trevor on stage, reading a phone book. :lmao:

Mac

[rabinmovies]

If Trevor done a tour, i would like to hear mostly his solo works, but also a few soundtrack scores too, plus the yes songs, i am waiting, walls and lift me up.
The band members?
Trevor - lead guitars and vocals
Mark mancina - keyboards and vocals
Lou molino lll - drums and percussion
Neil murray - bass guitar
Billy sherwood - guitar, keyboards and vocals.

What a show that one would be hey folks?

Can't look away would have to be the show opener

[yessongs72]

Wouldn't it be something if he actually OPENED for Yes?

One problem: He might just steal the show.........

rabin steal the show?? You must be freaking nuts!! Oh opening the show,you are refering to setting up seats,ect,right?? By the way my vote is "NO" and I wouldn't walk across the street to see him.

Just more salt in the wound of whats his name,Steve blisterd Rhythm,the way whats his name never could.

[Jackaranda]

Yeah, I take that back even though I was only kidding. Apparently, it would have taken a Beatles reunion to steal the show Thursday night.

[Rabin105]

But Trevor with yes would be awesome. a solo tour well maybe the band could be
Bill Bruford on drums
Trevor Rabin Guitar and vocals
Billy Sherwood Bass and vocals
Tony Kaye Keys
Adam Wakeman Keys
the set list
Can't look away
Owner of a lonely heart
Can you imagine
New languages
a few rabin solo song
a few yeswest tunes
and the encore
Gates of Delirium and
Endless dream

[cinderella]

I have all Trevor's Rabbitt albums, and his solo albums. I'd love to see him do all of his material. And yeah..........I'd watch him read the phone book. Over and over and over...and..... I'd cross the universe to see him.

[Jacaranda]

I think it was in that recent NFTE interview with TR that he mentioned he was thinking about touring to support the Live from LA/90214 release!! It feels like that won't happen now, since those 2 CDs have been out for a while and no news about a tour. I guess the soundtrack work took priority...well, maybe when his new solo album comes out.

[cinderella]

Oh how I wish that would happen! Although I love Trevor's soundtrack work, I miss my guitar hero on stage doing what he does best. I need to hear some new stuff from him.

[JaneEyre]

Quick! Someone hand him a phone book! :lmao:

[Jackaranda]

He said he's definitely doing a new album called "Songs From A Phone Book". Well, maybe THAT'S not the title, but a new album seems to be on the way later this year.

That new interview is great.

[Rabin105]

He said he's definitely doing a new album called "Songs From A Phone Book". Well, maybe THAT'S not the title, but a new album seems to be on the way later this year.

That new interview is great.
honestly Trevor on stage again would be awesome and having not only doing hist stuff from yes but classic stuff like Gates, stuff from Dreama, TYime and a word, and maybe a movement from tales (now that would either impress both yes west and yes troopers or well i don't even want to think about the other option) Honestly with rabin touring it would be awqesome if his touring band was
Bill Bruford Drums
Tony Kaye Keyboards
Billy Sherwood Keyboards, Guitar, Vocals
Tony Levin Bass
and obviously
Trevor Rabin Guitar vocals

that would be awesome.

[ycantibu]

Why have him doing those songs though? He may as well do a bunch of old Genesis songs too. :D

Oh I would dearly love to be there if Trevor asked Bruford to go out on tour with him....And play something from TALES!!! :lmao:

[Jacaranda]

He said he's definitely doing a new album called "Songs From A Phone Book". Well, maybe THAT'S not the title, but a new album seems to be on the way later this year.


This new album he is going to do might be a suprise to fans. In the NFTE interview he says a new album will have a more instrumental, orchestral-sound, even though he does mention he would sing and have his guitar playing on it. With all the movie scoring he has done for the past 10 years it sounds like a natural proggression. I think he will still have some of that trademark sound that people are expecting to hear ala Can't Look Away but it sounds like it will also be pretty different than any of his solo or Yes work. He also said he is playing the best guitar of his life right now, so a Trevor playing guitar even better than he played on Talk is something REALLY to look forward to.

[Gabriel]

I'd definatly go and see Rabin if he did Yessongs from his era, i'd love to hear music like Shoot High Aim Low, I'm Running, City of Love, Rhythm of Love, Endless Dream, Real Love etc!

Great stuff, all of it.

[Rabin105]

Oh I would dearly love to be there if Trevor asked Bruford to go out on tour with him....And play something from TALES!!! :lmao:
Come on why not I would love to heaqr Trevor On Gates seriously and of course all of his classics like Owner (ELECTRIC) can't look away

[BlueEagle]

Don't ask me- Ask Bill. He as much as said he would never play with either UNION faction again.

[Rabin105]

Bill would do it I just wondered why you didn't think Rabin would play classic yes I mean He is a fan of Yes

[BlueEagle]

I'll believe it when I see the DVD
:dog:

[Rabin105]

I'll belive it when i see it live

[Alex]

i'm sorry yes is the 5 members that are now touring and have been together for the better part of 35 years. rabin was a part of yes for a short time, he is not yes. jon is yes, chris is yes, steve is yes, rick is yes and alan is yes. rabin was a good part of yes but he is not yes.

[tranceofdances]

yano...wow...i think just about everyone here is stuck in the eighties...lol i wouldn't even consider seeing yes without steve howe on guitars. does anybody remember steve's 1st album? and what it did for yes? where it took them? what they accomplished? sure....when trevor joined they went into the "pop" charts, but is that true yes? in my opinion...no it isn't. i believe trevor to be a great guitar player..no doubt, but he is no steve howe. the current line-up is wonderful...it embodies to me what true yes music is all about, and was. we are relaying opinions here, and to be honest, i scoff at that idea.

I think you guys have the wrong idea, in utmost respect.

The question being posed is that "If Trevor Rabin were to tour..not with YES..but as a solo artist..and happened to play predominantly Yesmaterial..what would you like to hear."
Me, I wouldnt go..LOL..Im so kidding..just a joke..whoa back down Jane Cinderella and Judy
It would be interesting..but unlikely he would play anything other than what he recorded with the group..which is totally cool with me.. i'd go see 'em anyway if he did a cool club tour or something.

Derailed, but still salvagable...

OK.

I say that Trevor should cover a complete live version of Tales From Topographic Oceans.

It would sound totally diffrent, and if anyone could cover it, it would be Trevor...

Good idea huh?

:ele:

[BlueEagle]

I'd rather hear FLOWER KINGS or GENTLE GIANT cover it.
Maybe if Mr Rabin did his version of TYA and FRAGILE toonz, it would be more listenable :D

[Rabin105]

first of all all the current members are only part of yes just like rabin was second of all to all my yes friends Yes is awesome. i love all of yes and think that is all awesome I hope to enjoy many more years of yes an hope fully the future will be filled with as many good musicans as it's past was (with hopfully Rabin and Brislin returning and tony kaye that would be nice too un likely but nice) and hope fully Rabin will tour soon and you know I'm definitly going.

Hi Linda and welcome!

Trevor was a major babe! Especially on the 9012 LIVE video. :hearts:
He's still a cutie, but it's hard to believe he's 50! Where does the time go?
I'd like him to get off his butt in that studio of his, and get out on the road.
I neeeeeeed to see him play live again! :valintine

Cindy

[LindaB.]

HEY thanks!

where did u get such a HOT pic of Trev????
I tried to save it on my puter but it wouldn't!
He was a MAJOR babe!
Him and my husband are exactly 1 week apart in age. My husband has aged better then Trev, tho.

Linda

[cinderella]

This photo is on the cover of Trevor's album when he was with Rabbitt (his band in South Africa) The album is called A Croak And A Grunt In The Night.

He's totally naked on the album cover, holding his guitar. It's one great photo. :D

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

i never expected Trev would do THIS!

[tardistraveler]

Too bad the guitar's in the way . . . :D

[cinderella]

I didn't think we were allowed to post such a large photo, or I would have posted it myself. :valintine

Cute ain't he. I think he was 22 when that was taken.

[umgekehrt]

It doesn't take up any bandwidth from Yesfans, because the picture is hosted somewhere else.

[cinderella]

Where did you get the picture? Do you have the album?

[umgekehrt]

It's from this site:

http://yclochec1.free.fr/

The glory of Google... :D

[cinderella]

Oh I thought maybe you had the album. I have 2. :D
Trev's not the only one who posed, all the members of his band did. He of course made the cover though. An rightly so. :valintine

[JaneEyre]

....sigh......

[mood for today]

ICute ain't he. I think he was 22 when that was taken.

too bad he just looks like joey from full house now. pudgy and goofy like the rest of us middle agers.

[JaneEyre]

He's not pudgy. He used to be too skinny.

[mood for today]

He's not pudgy. He used to be too skinny.

thanks. i'll use that one with my wife from now on.

"honey, i was waaaay too skinny when we got married."

[JaneEyre]

You probably were! Most guys are too skinny in their 20s and early 30s. Eat something! (Sorry, it's the Jewish mother in me...)

[LindaB.]

OYE! Mr Rabin(owitz) is a mensch!\

L

[cinderella]

He was too skinny. Apparently he does workout.

Trevor said, "I'm pretty boring. I write and workout. I have weights at home. I swim for a half hour each day, bicycle for an hour, so I do about 2 hours of workout a day. Years ago I went through this silly sort of thing that holding the weights was going to affect my hands. That was a stupid concern."

The trouble with Trevor is that when he gains any weight it shows in his sweet little face. :valintine

Cinderella -- I remember that interview from Guitar magazine waaaaaay back in the 80s!

[cinderella]

Yeah, let's just hope he's still doing it. (the work out that is)

[Jackaranda]

Wasn't that the Guitar World interview with Trev and Chris? I had that for a long time - it came out when BG was released.

[JaneEyre]

Yup. I may have, um, purchased multiple copies. Just in case.

[Jackaranda]

So you just go from one copy right to the next without having any control over it, right JaneE?

[cinderella]

I've got 4 copies and one that I cut up to use in a scrapbook. :D

[JaneEyre]

So you just go from one copy right to the next without having any control over it, right JaneE?
There may be a dog-eared copy hiding under my mattress.

[Jackaranda]

Probably the only way we will ever hear live versions of songs from Talk, BG, and 90125 (except for the obligatory couple of "hits").

I wish he'd do SOMETHING!

[allpurechance]

I suspect that Mr. Rabin is making a very comfortable living writing soundtracks for Hollyweird.

[JL]

I voted yes, but I would prefer a Trevor show consisting of primarily new material.

[luckeydoug1]

Absolutely! I would be on the first plane out to see him live (and I hate to fly). It could be his solo music, his YesWest music, all new stuff, or even him conducting an orchestra performing highlights of his motion picture music (with an emphasis on The Great Raid, Remember the Titans and Jack Frost).

[Jackaranda]

Nothing gets 'em going like a good Rabin thread.

[The Whale]

The answer is YES!

[gt76yesman]

forget opening for yes what if he was in yes
I hope that does not happen unless it is a union kind of tour with Steve as well.

I would like to see him tour on his own though.

[gt76yesman]

Too bad the guitar's in the way . . . :D
And he doesn't even have his green trainers on!
:banhim:

[eyesoflove1]

Heck YES!!! I'm still dreaming of seeing him live for the first time.

Judy

I would with out question go. No matter whatthe cost.
I saw him live three times each on 90125, Big Gen, Union and Talk and three times solo. :lady:

[BRINGRABINBACK]

It was his performance of a Yes song that made me a Yes fan and a Rabin fan. Anybody else remember his interpretation of Yours is No Disgrace?

Sure do..and it was a turn off for me...way too much Eddie Van Halen BS for me..it didn't work..too show boaty.

However, I'd love to see Trevor get out of his studio for a couple of months and tour...I'd pay for it!

[eyesoflove1]

Too much Eddie VanHalen where?
Trevor doesnt play anything like EVH.
In fact EVH could learn a thing or two from Trevor.
The whole Trevor Rabin style is based on Piano knowledge and the transposition of what is done on a piano to the guitar. EVH doesnt have that ability or that work ethic to beable to do this type of playing.
Just a little insight.

Yep. I loved it. Especially on the Union tour.

I know Steve criticized Trevor for that, saying he did "weird guitar sounds" on that, but I thought it was great. :git[1]:

To play Devil's Advocate, Eddie Van Halen is an accomplished pianist who, no doubt, used his piano knowledge somewhat in his two-hand hammer-ons. Don't be fooled by "Jump." Eddie knows his stuff. Believe it or not, Steve Hackett is the one credited for originating the technique, although there were probably countless guitarists that used it. Brian May can also be seen doing it in the Bohemian Rhapsody video, at least a year before Van Halen was known.

I do agree that their styles are very different, but their technique's do cross over often.

[rmig68]

Also, if you hear the guitar work on Winter's "Frankenstein," I could swear the guitarist (Derringer?) uses the two-hand technique about 2/3 the way into the song when the music changes. I would almost swear by it. That was in what, 1972? Eddie got all the credit for it but, it had already been done.

[Jackaranda]

I bet Trev will be the next to tour.

We've had Jon, The Syn, Steve, Rick, Asia, Jon and Rick together this fall. I just betcha Trev will do something next.

[Bugeyes]

Aren't Rabin's hands crippled now with arthritis or something similar? :dunno:







:stormzap1

[DesertCat]

Not saying you are wrong, but that's the first I've heard of anything like that. Trevor seemed to play pretty well at that 2004 tribute to Trevor Horn (though I can't find the video for it anymore).

[Jackaranda]

I heard he has arthritis bu I doubt it's that crippling.

[Andrea YouAndI]

I would go see this in a heartbeat! Of course, I would prefer that he do some of his solo and Rabbitt songs too, especially those from Can't Look Away. I think it would also be neat if Trev dug out the songs Cinema recorded but were never released until YesYears--especially "Make it Easy." I want to see that song used as more than the intro to "Owner"!

[YesForSure.]

If he came to my tiny northern ontario town and played for free, i might go while stoned for a laugh. Wouldn't be going to Toronto or anything for it though.

[Jackaranda]

A bump....for Trev's Bday.

i miss the make it easy intro

i'd go and pay too

[Whitefish]

I'd go. But I would want it to be all the songs he sang with Yes that he wrote.

[Timmo]

I'd definitely go.

Trevor Yes is 15 years old. He's greatly matured as a musician and as a man. I'd like to see what he would do with the material.

[yesplease]

Lets say TR decided to put together a first rate touring band and hit the road to do a tour that consisted of about 80-90 per cent Yes songs during his era, plus some solo material. Would you go?

Sure would, it's no different to Jon solo or Rick 'n'Jon. Rabin's contributions to those 80's albums was massive and his vocals are almost as distinctive as Jon's.

[Rabin105]

i'd go and love it. TREVOR TOUR PLEASE

[relayeire]

I'd go see him whatever he chose to perform. His Yes era is not my favorite, but it was a great one nonetheless. He's a talented musician who keeps doing soundtracks to crappy movies. He needs to get back on stage. If he does, and he comes within a reasonable distance of my home, I'll be there. I miss seeing him play.

[Rabin105]

we all miss him Relayeire



i miss seeing him and chris face off on stage well i never saw them doo that but i saw videos

[relayeire]

I would pay to hear Trev 'rev' his telecaster up and jam on Holy Lamb for two hours straight...

He could do it. He played the perfect riffs on the recording. I would pay $ to hear him come-up with more of the same...

Just Holy Lamb. That would be enough.

Nothing short of inspired.

Two hours straight, then we go out for coffee... ('Tea? What the HELL is THAT Shi...?! Guinness Stout here on out...).

:ele:

Amen, brother, on the Guinness Stout!

Songs I'd love to hear from Trevor are Changes, City Of Love, Shoot High, The Calling, I Am Waiting, Miracle Of Life...

No.

[BRINGRABINBACK]

I like and support whatever Rabin does. But I would prefer him to MOVE FORWARD.
I would rather see a world premiere of Rabin Symphony #1. I would travel to the Hollywood Bowl to see that one!
After all these year's of his heavy-duty music, anything less than performance by a full orchestra cannot do his music justice.

[Jackaranda]

No.

Come on now....tell us how you really feel.
