that's pretty sweet, definitely qualifies you to be a SMYF (Super Mega Yes Fan).......how many tours have you seen them Live ?

Only thing I'm confused about, where were you during the crazy 20-year run of the original Yesfans.com ?

How many tours? Fewer than I might have liked, as some of them didn't come to Europe, like the Solos tour in 1976, Masterworks in 2000. I didn't go to the 90125 shows, and Big Generator and Talk also didn't come here, though I probably wouldn't have attended them.

First tour was Tales, November 1973. Just one show, and my first ever rock concert. I'd never heard anything that loud before!
After that was Relayer (6), Going For The One (3), Tormato (2), ABWH (3), Union (4), Open Your Eyes (6), The Ladder (5), Symphonic (5), Full Circle (2), 3 Albums (1), ARW (1).

I was on Yesfans on and off from 2005, or possibly from the year before, under a few different names. It could get heated very quickly, and I didn't respond well, carried it around in my head for days at a time. Mainly the sort of challenge along the line of 'How can you be a Yesfan if you think that about this, why are you even here....'. Over and done with now. Thankfully, there's none of kind of thing here.

Still not made up my mind about the forthcoming tour. In part it depends on whether I secure work in the next month or so, though a friend has a ticket I can have for the Albert Hall show in June. However, since that will almost certainly necessitate staying overnight in London, that too is wage-labour dependent.

Favourite one is Dan Hedges, charmingly written and constructed. Sadly it stopps after Drama, he should have continued...

And then of course Bill Martin, I often use it, it is like "Junior Woodchucks' Guide Book" to me.

Have had this one sitting on my shelf for several years but never finished it (streaming TV-induced Laziness, more than anything !)

[carlmarx38]

Read every page of this one, though (maybe because it cost me $50 on Ebay !)

I also have this one, but haven't read it, yet. I'm saving it. For what, I don't know...

Here are the Yes books on my shelf, gathered over about 35 years. I think all titles have been mentioned already!

These are the books I have. I think I have more. I have a chord/ music book from the late 70's but I can't put my hands on it. It's white with the band on the front. Chris Squire has dark hair and looks really thin.
Anyone got that?

I have a Fragile song/music book. And various tour booklets - are we including them?

[madbear]

Oh, also have a Yesterdays music book on the shelf with the tour books. I read the Howe, didnt like it, have the Welch, Popoff, Bill Martin etc. Don't think any are particularly good to be honest. The Martin is the most intelligent, along with his other book on progrock.

This semester, chaps, we’ll be delving into an exhaustive study of Beowulf, an in-depth analysis of Chaucer’s works, perusing Dickens, and capping things off with Othello and Macbeth.

However, to begin this English Literature course properly, we’ll be going on an odyssey through the collective works of Anderson, Squire, Howe, and Rabin. We will analyze the lyrics of Tales from Topographic Oceans and meditating on what it means to see a man in a white car. Do we agree that sudden call shouldn't take away the startled memory? We’ll discuss the imagery of armored movers taking approach to overlook the sea and compare it to the Ukraine invasion.

This class will leave you chased amid fusions of wonder and disjointed but with purpose! We hope, upon completion of CTTE132, you’ll want to take the successive companion course ABWH90215.
