Songs You would Have Liked The Classic Yes Line Up To Cover?

[rabin105]

Some more yes tunes the classic lineup didn’t originally do I would be curious to hear them do

machine messiah
the prophet
the ice bridge
fly from here suite
hearts
yesterday and today
clear days
beyond and before

Something from the disco period. ( Rob runs and hides ) You know Alan loved the stuff, but hanging out with Dick Branson, drinking , roller disco make a very bad combination. Kiss' only disco song is my favorite of their's by the way.

[Mr. Holland]

I'd like to hear them play "Something in the Air" by Thunderclap Newman! I can hear it now, they would make it soar ))

Ex-Marillion singer Fish did a cover version on his second solo album:

I'd like them to cover Leonard Cohen's Who By Fire, in the same way they do America: build on the original and extend it. Cohen's original has a tantalising musical outro I think they could really make something of.

A Yes version of Minnie The Moocher with Jon & Chris.

[True]

I remember Jon Anderson once saying he was big fan of Nina Simone and the tune "I Put a Spell on You", and I thought that would be a fascinating song to give the Yes treatment.

Always wanted to hear Yes do something with John Lennon's 'Mind Games'. You know, "Yessss is the answer... Yessss is forever."

That’s a wicked cool choice; I’d absolutely love to hear that, too! 😎

Dizzy (Tommy Roe).

I was seven years old when it was released, and it knocked me flat: four keys; eleven key changes. It’s also one of the most perfect pop songs ever written.

Hats off to the Wrecking Crew, too. 😎

YES! Oh man that song still sends me. Influenced my musical being early on, LOVE Tommy!

I will say this are other yes songs from different lineups fair game as I would of loved to hear the classic lineup do more Yeswest

shoot high aim low
final eyes
i am waiting
miracle of life
etc

Yes did a couple of stanzas of Purple Haze by Hendrix at an outdoor show in Raleigh, NC that I attended on August 14, 1994. (I had to look that up to verify). Woodstock ‘94 was being celebrated in NY that weekend, so the band was commemorating that event. I’m a Howe fan, but Trevor was better suited for that particular tune, which he played quite well that night as I recall.

But it was Howe who put the Hendrix quote in Siberian Khatru. And did it well...

Do the Seals & Croft big ones and add instrumental oomph!

"We may never pass this way again"
