Encore choice current tour

barra1 · 2 Weeks Ago

Starship Trouper was played on the first night as a second encore after Roundabout, since then it has been dropped.

If they are only playing one encore a night now which would you prefer?

For me Starship wins hands down as from the Wurm onwards the crowd and band are usually rocking

It's hard to choose having heard Roundabout live and not having heard Starship Trooper... But I think I'd prefer Starship Trooper...

I have heard Roundabout on Katowice, and I would choose definitely that number.

You ask why?

Simple - it was first time I heard that piece in full version. On earlier tours they played it abbreviated!

I'm with you 100% there.

Roundabout

yes75 · 2 Weeks Ago

Both hehe

Starship Trooper - both are great songs, but ST builds to such a sonic climax during Würm that for me, anyway, it's the ultimate Yes final encore :-)

CybrKhatru · 2 Weeks Ago

yeah, Starship would get my vote too.

Starship Trooper - beyond a shadow of a doubt, the perfect encore. I'd pick Roundabout for the last song before the encore though.

Don't you know the band listens to everything we say???

Starship Trooper for me hands down! The song is fantastic and fun and The Wurm builds up so much energy from the band and the crowd. Just awesome.
