Anderson-Howe

[John Vehadija]

I like how on 'Not Necessarily Acoustic' Steve played a Tales medley, that would be cool to do again with Jon bit more extended

and also To Be Over would be nice, Steve tried to convince Jon to sing it in 2003 when he was doing his solo, but for some reason Jon didn't want to

We could also have Turn of the Century and Time And A Word, even Onward

Then add From the balcony, Nine Voices, Soft As A Dove, also To Ascend

One can dream

ELECTRIFY EVERYTHING

[YESOLA]

Anderson - Howe - Brislin- Lee- Stacey

[Gary Betts]

Anderson - Howe - Brislin- Lee- Stacey

Nice line up for sure...of course it will never happen.

[profusion]

Although I can't see Jon and Steve coexisting in Yes anymore, it seems more likely that they'd fit together well as an acoustic duo outside the band. There wouldn't be the same financial or control issues as with the Yes enterprise, and they could relax and make music.

[Grey Wolf]

All Acoustic? Yuk

I would love to hear a collaboration of Anderson and Howe as Yes or just as Anderson-Howe. I think they could still come up with something interesting.

[Kenny]

Yep. OYE Pt2. Corking...

No thanks. OYE is an awful album.

I want to see a Classic Yes (farewell?) tour with Anderson, Howe, R Wakeman and White plus Rabin if he's interested and available.

If they need additional musicians to support them (e.g. Sherwood, Pomeroy, Downes, O Wakeman or Schellen), that would be fine by me.

Sarcasm, mate. Sorry...

I want dancing girls, whipped cream and leather, but according to the Rolling Stones...

Of course there would. Jon's a lovely bloke, but whenever he's involved there are financial and control issues...

[Ceasar’s Palace]

Anderson - Howe - Brislin- Lee- Stacey

Who’s Stacey?

[PeterCologne]

Jeremy Stacey, Drummer, worked on Syndestructible and played with King Crimson the recent years, drum and keyboards I think

Ok, those are good credentials...

[Ash Armstrong]

The middle drummer, with the bowler hat.

[Mr. Holland]

I don't think, apart from a mere few, Yes songs lend themselves well for acoustic treatment. They chose the right ones for the little acoustic set on the 2004 tour, but I think for instance the Anderson/Wakeman tour was far more about the sentiment of those two playing together than it was about actually delivering great acoustic versions of Yes songs. Most Yes songs aren't fully arranged with full instrumentation for nothing, it's prog rock, not snoozy sit by the fire hum along stuff.

So as far as the proposition from the OP goes I take the current line-up.

I don't think they, but especially Jon, would do it for just relaxing and making music without earning a good pay day.
