Show me your ideal setlist only using the last 6 Yes albums

[The Whale]

So you can only chose songs from the last 6 Yes studio albums: The Quest, Heaven and Earth, Fly from Here, Magnification The Ladder and Open Your Eyes. And use at least one from each.

Mine would look Something like this

Lightning Strikes
The Ice Bridge
To Ascend
Homeworld
Hour of Need
Man in the Moon
Future Memories
Into the Storm
Fly from Here
The Western Edge
Open Your Eyes
In the Presence Of

Encore

[kkleinschmidt]

I would be super happy with The Ladder, all of it especially Finally which I consider the best song Yes has never played live, followed by Magnification minus Soft As A Dove and maybe We Agree with some highlights from The Quest (flexible) and OYE (guilty pleasures Wonderlove into Love Shine would be awesome) to round it out.

Of course Jon and Chris would have to be there...

[rabin105]

Can we include From a Page (and therefore exclude OYE)?

Yeah I get not including return trip as really only one song difference but from a page is an album

so hmm but I love open your eyes

so I will be doing from the last 7 albums (including from a page and open your eyes but following the OP view of ignoring return trip)

firebird suite
new state of mind
hour of need
homeworld
magnification
fly from here suite
the ice bridge
to the moment
believe again
hour of need
the gift of love
encore
spirit of survival
nine voices

[JMKUSA]

Playing by my own rules, here’s my 2.5 hour show setlist.

Set one:

To the Moment
The Ice Bridge
Homeworld (The Ladder)
Light of the Ages
The African Suite (Lightning Strikes, Can I? and Face to Face)
In the Presence Of
Into the Storm

Set two:

Fly From Here Suite
Magnification
The Western Edge
New Language
The Gift of Love
Leave Well Alone

Encore:

Nine Voices
Subway Walls

[Mr. Holland]

- Firebird Suite
- The Ice Bridge
- Spirit of Survival (with hammond organ replacing the orchestra part, that would really rock)
- It'll be a Good Day
- Light of the Ages
- The Western Edge
- Magnification
- Steve solo: Solitaire (Steve always has an acoustic solo!)
- To Ascend (acoustic)
- In the Presence Of
- New Language
- Subway Walls
- Fly From Here Suite
- Fortune Seller
- Homeworld (the Ladder)

Encores:

- Open Your Eyes
- Into the Storm

This would make for a show for just over 2 hours, so doable for the band. It has a nice variety of songs from all the albums and IMO a nice flow.

Homeworld
Believe again
New state

[Elizabeth "The Phish"]

(I'm gonna be including From a Page and Open Your Eyes but one of them is an EP so it wouldn't be exactly 7 albums. 😏)

Set 1:

1) "Intro: Firebird Suite"
2) "To the Moment"
3) "Homeworld (The Ladder)"
4) "Hour of Need" (Full Length Version)
5) "Spirit of Survival"
6) "Lightning Strikes" - "Can I?" - "Face to Face"
7) "Believe Again"
8) "Words on a Page"
9) "New Language" - "Nine Voices (Longwalker)"

Set 2:

1) "The Ice Bridge"
2) "Open Your Eyes"
3) "Fly From Here Suite" (Preferably the 2011 version.)
4) "Mystery Tour"
5) "Future Memories"
6) "We Agree"
7) "Show Me" (Bonus but I'd love to see this return.)
8) "The Gift of Love"

Encore:
1) "Subway Walls"
2) "Into the Storm"
3) "A Living Island"

God, this was way too hard. There is a lot more songs I want to put in there but a triple set might be a bit pushing, even if I think that modern Yes can perform these ones really well.

New State of Mind
FFH suite
It Will Be A good Day
Magnification
Open Your Eyes
Light of the Ages
Hep Yadda
Give Love Each Day
Hour of Weed
Fortune Seller
The Game

Gift of Love (encore)

[Mr. Holland]

I love New State of Mind, but have always thought because of the multi layered vocals it's nearly impossible to pull off live.

[Somis Sound]

City of Love, The Calling, Rhythm of Love, it's doable... Heck give everyone a mic for the intro, and ask the crowd to sing along loudly! Or just have the guy under the stage handle it...
