Yesworld reviews: Down till further notice

[The Whale]

It is such a shame that it was taken down, i was waiting to read every day to hear wat people said, I was able to read a few good reviews the first day, which i printed out and brought home to show my daughter .I was lucky enough to win tickets from 105.5 WDHA FM in N.J for the PNC Arts show show june 25th, I am bringing my soon to be 13 year old daughter to her first yes show, i actually printed out one great review from the first night from yesworld and showed it to her. I am also playing the new bands live cd from the yesfans site that i have received . I play it in my car when i pick her up from school. (thank you yesfans) My daughter knows that they sound different, but she knows there is no other favorite band for me but YES (Since roosevelt stadium jersey city 1976) and she is so excited to see them, as i am also, i am preparing myself for something different. My favorite singer of all time is Jon Anderson, but Benoit David can sound alittle like him during the songs. Just to hear Close to the Edge , And you and I - my two favorite songs played by steve Howe and Chris Squire hopefully will be enough for me to enjoy this show to the max, It might be my last live Yesshow ever and that is such a sad thing to ever think about. (I am so glad i have all of the live dvd's released because i watch them often. I love yesfans and Yesworld, both sites have kept me in tune with anything new to Yes, Thank you

Great post! So glad you enjoy Yesfans.com so much! You are just the kind of person I wish all yesfans could be like (except for the ranger fan part ). Hope you enjoy the show and please come and post here more offten! And please let us know what your daughter thinks of the show.

I know, but there are degrees of what's regarded as insulting. Some things are blatantly obvious. Other things might not be so complimentary, but they're not mean-spirited or full of the dull-witted shouting of some disgruntled knuckleheads.

IMO, it should be a moderated forum - inflammatory posts removed at the (ideally-levelheaded) moderator's discretion.

I don't understand why it would be set up for the comments to post immediately with no review for appropriateness and content. I also want to express my hope that the folks who posted all the barely literate negative garbage that people are quite justifiably unhappy with stay far away from here. I don't need people like that on my side.

People aren't needed like that on any side. It does no justice to their arguments and just makes them look foolish; while annoying anyone who can, with intelligence, string a sentence together.

After reading the comments on this thread it occurred to me that the postings on YesWorld are like the channel selector on your TV remote. A virulent review is obvious in the first couple of sentences, skip it if u can't handle it. The reviewer is only showing his/her own opinion of the concert/world that night and we all know what opinions can be compared to,,, and some stink.

"There comes a time in your life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all life is too short to be anything but happy."

You can intelligently express your displeasure without being a total TOOL.
You just made your point, without malice or 'toolness'. Why can't they? What is gained by ABUSIVE language and personal attacks on the band members....just shows ignorance.

[SBDTrader]

So the bad news is all the people who posted negative personal attacks against Yes band members (rather than actually reviewing shows they've attended) resulted in the removal of the Yesworld Tour Review page.

But the good news is by doing so all those same people managed to get Jon reinstated in the band!!

" OK – back to the present tour. I feel the last 2 shows have been a vast improvement, and believe it’s all coming together quite well now on stage. We’ve had some great feedback from the fans, so that’s all you can really hope for and it’s encouraging for all concerned. And a big thanks to all the supporters of my GD Blog, who at least appreciate a conduit with a member of the band. With the new album coming up out this week in the US, it’s great to hear all the feedback, be it positive or negative. We need to know." / Geoff Downes
