Yes rehearsals

[Mind Driver]

We've reached a point where the classics are getting tiring. I think the best combination we can get is the new songs, never played or haven't played live in years tracks and a few set staples (All Good People, Starship, Roundabout, etc.). Just so the band stays fresh and not bogged down playing the same classic song(s) over and over, so instead pull out something special.

How about South Side of the Sky and Mind Drive instead of FFH?

They performed South Side a while back and Mind Drive... I don't know. I can think of other deeper tracks than Mind Drive.
They should play FFH because 1) its their new album 2) by playing newer material it silence the critics who say the band is doing nothing but playing the same rehashed classic songs and doing nothing new.
Also last time the band was in the US they only played We Can Fly From Here due to the time limit on their set so now on this tour they can hear more.

I agree and Chris also said that on this tour they will still be promoting FFH, so it makes sense to play a lot of it. If not you get the situation as with OYE, an album out and only playing one or two pieces of it on tour. I went to the tour, but did not buy the album untill years later, when I could have bought it at the concert, but my idea was: hey, if they don't feel it's good enough to play more from on tour then whyt should I shell out money for it and buy it? That to me was the signal they were sending and that is not a good signal, certainly not for album sales. And it probably was true for OYE that they didn't think (or at least parts of Yes thought that) it was good enough, but with FFH everyone in the band is firmly behind it.
