  • Downes definitely NOT on Buggles tour

    Says Horn in... https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/17/a...horn-tour.html

    Hopefully that puts to rest one conspiracy theory about Yes's tour being postponed!

          I don't have subscription to NY Times.

          What does it say exactly about Geoff's status (Yes? ASIA? DBA?) and the Buggles tour?

            One thing I've found is that sometimes these paywalled articles are copied onto twitter by different people. Then you can access them. Funky, huh!!!

            So just root around and it may turn up.

              Just go to the site:

              select all
              copy

              paste (document, email, whatever)

              Works like a charm, as long as you're quick.​

                The relevant quote:

                "The Buggles never toured, apart from a 2010 reunion gig for charity, but they’re the opening act on the British singer Seal’s upcoming tour, which starts April 25 in Phoenix. Horn will be playing without Downes, whose obligations to Yes got in the way."

                  Except he no longer has YES obligations.

                  Maybe the original keyboardist's contract is too watertight. Maybe he's a mate of Trevor too.

                  Believe Geoff is still on good terms with Trevor.

                  Shame if he can't guest at least on VKTRS.

                  Can't wait to see setlist and hopefully see some vids on the tube.

                    It's easy. Go New York Times twitter. They have tweeted the article. Meanin' anyone can read it. Funny interview. Trevor havin' fun. Says his daughter says he should call it The Buggle. As it's only him.

                    Trouble is.

                    This is an earlier interview as it states at bottom with a correction.

                    I still smell a full Buggles reunion. I really do.

                      The only real Buggles reunion I would be extra excited about would be a new album.

                      But as for live, I know they're the opening band which means a shorter set, but the idea of live renditions of Adventures In Modern Recording material is sorta mouth watering. I can't see Vermillion Sands live, but who knows. My guestimation is VKTRS, maybe a couple/few more from the first album including Plastic Age, and probably covers of things like Two Tribes etc. But who knows yet.

                          There are even simpler challenges at play, like sorting out a work visa.

                            We all know that Horn has a track record of dumping keyboardists.

                            If he wants (and can afford) to get Downes back in The Buggles, he will.
