Yes, anytime anyhow
Yes, but only if it means extra concert time, not at the cost of songs
No, not a fan of solo's, they interupt the pase of the show
There have been quit a few tours where every Yes member had a solo during the show. Nowadays, and for quit some time now, Steve still has his solo, but none of the others have. Would you like the solo's to make a re-appearance into the Yes shows or not? Vote in the poll and expound in a post.

I don't mind the solos, but not at the cost of other group material. The only solo I'd be happy to hear at any time though is The Fish.

To me, it's like asking if Neil Peart should drop his drum solo in place of another Rush song - and I know there are people out there who would say yes to that.
If I'm seeing performers like Peart, or Rick Wakeman, or Steve Howe or Chris Squire - highly regarded musicians who are rated at the top of the scale for their abilities - then I want a moment where their mastery is put on full display.
Yes is not just about a bunch of songs you can tap your toe to, it is an appreciation for the artistry behind it.
That was certainly always the way I viewed albums like Fragile and Relayer.
Never cared much for the solos and wouldn't want to see any of them reintroduced. Howe is a great guitar player but I could do without his solo spot too. For example, he has occasionally done TBO, but I would give anything for a full group rendition of that much neglected gem.

Good with chips - Jon Lizard Man
Surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come - P. Shelley
This is the strangest life I've ever known - J. Morrison
Well, I don't know if I can objectively answer that. Because my the three favorite Yes tours consist of one with too many solo spots and two with none, not even by Steve.

I love a good solo, so I would love it, but not at the expense of song time. Also at some point, Chris' solo was always the same ole Whitefish and Rick's solo remained about the same for years as well. I think a solo should be more creative then rehashing the same one tour after tour and I also like it to be a bit creative, so developpe and change during the tour (as for example the solo's did during the 90125 tour).

I would like to see the solos incorporated in a song, not by themselves.
I'd like to see Steve do an electric solo.
"Huh?!..Get A Rope!!!"...No Peart solo???
Great post altogether.

The unity of all things is experienced through the feelings.
That is a good idea. I think for instance Alan doing a solo in 'Astral Traveller' worked fine.

To me, the solos would make sense only if the concert was long enough and needed to be broken up. In that case they would provide each player with a break.
