Yet people hardly ever seem to come up with these reservations when fans on this forum compare Howe and Rabin, or Wakeman and Kaye and harsher words have been spoken over the years with these comparisons then up till now in the thread you are refering to......Originally Posted by Micah68

I get that some people don't like it, but that still is not an answer to the question in my previous post. I have btw. decided not to post in that particular thread anymore, so if people aren't interested and don't like it, I'm sure we won't see it at the top of 'today's posts' page ever again.....

Think about it......how can anyone except the very few that have seen JD live with Yes compare him with BD?

I think it's a clear sign that an artist has done strong work that can stand up to scrutiny and a bit of vigorous tire kicking that fans of that particular artist don't shy away from robust discussions, examinations and comparisons. IMHO Steve Howe, Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakeman and Tony Kaye all fit that bill.

The good feelings toward Yes will now grow among the US fan base when they see this tour!

"Name one band who only plays their new album, and no old songs from their past catalogue - I can't think of one. Didn't Yes play Roundabout as an encore on the Tales tour?" - BillGuitar

True but interviews you read with the other band members indicate they have a lot of confidence in Davison, even going as far as to say he is making them raise their game.
And of course mobile recorded youtube clips don't provide the full picture but it appears so far they have a vocalist who is singing the tunes with apparent ease and without straining himself, something you couldn't always say for Benoit, which is a fair assessment i think.
There is no question that the attitudes as a whole have changed.... There seem to be A LOT less "attacks" on this version of Yes recently. Jon D. is definately part of that equation.... They've most certainly stepped up their game since he joined..

How strange don't you think? A band attracts a better singer, starts playing better, looks like they're having a great time once more and suddenly people like them more again.....it's just so unexpected....LOL

Sounds great !
Yep, weird isn't it ?
Soon oh soon the light, Pass within and soothe this endless night, And wait here for you, Our reason to be here...
They've put the bandback together! Literally. Look how close they are standing, I'm sure it makes a difference. They are really rocking. The singer is singing really good lead vocals. Steve, Chris and Alan are ripping into their instruments like it was 1974, and Geoff has become a real Yes man. They've put the band back together ...

Agreed saturday was the best yes show I ever went to!
The Current lineup is Chris Squire Alan White Geoff Downes Steve Howe and Jon Davison and according to Geoff Downes who told me personally they WILL RELEASE A NEW ALBUM NEXT SPRING. END OF DISCUSSION
B.D.O.E.S
I can't see how the band can't have more trust in JD. BD was fine at the start but the wheels fell off pretty quick and I feel, nothing top base it on, that the band held on as long as they could with him but it became too much in some way or another.

Just speculation on my part but I think him being the one to replace JA he was doomed from the word go by many. Then you throw in the rumblings by many that he was not cutting it, then him getting sick after the album was done, I think the band from some corners was getting some heat to change and JD was found or they knew of him when BD was in and just said TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE! JD seems so much more less forced looking when he is on the stage. He looks like he feels in his element up there in front of thousands. Nothing on BD but he seemed stiff and forced and no comfy in the role.
