New Steve Howe interview: "From Tomorrow to YES’s Mirror To The Sky"
Am I reading it correctly that Relayer is off the table now for the upcoming tour(s)?
So, really, we want to be able to do our best by knowing that what we’re doing is right and, by the time we got here this year, there were just so many things that were problematic. We will adjust that next year and come up with a new idea really for that because I feel taking Relayer along is a bit like taking Covid along. It’s become like, Oh no. Surely? Can we? Are we? Must we? No. We want to and the desire that we had in early 2020 when we’re all beavering away learning the detail of Relayer, not just the structure but actually all the notes. I was doing that. And we were all set to go off and play Relayer and I think we could have done it then. We could have done it in ’21. We could have done it in ’22 but, that’s what I mean, we kind of need to be able to book tours and adjust set lists accordingly to what we know is best for us and our audience at any given time.
Yeah, that sounds a little like he's softening up the ground a little - get people used to the idea that Relayer may no longer be what they do in Europe in 2024.

I would love if Jon and the Geeks would do Relayer. That probably dissuade YesO from doing it even more.
Asked Gottlieb Bros about this. Got a coy answer about psychadelic colours and somesuch. The style is reminiscent of Neville Brody's work with The Face magazine back in the 80's. Deffo more an 80's vibe than a 60's vibe.
