Yes European 2023 tour setlist

[rabin105]

5 months and 17 days till the start of the tour no reason we can’t have fun

my setlist a few will complain about but I think it’s the most realistic setlist I ever did

firebird suite
parallels
the remembering
owner of a lonely heart (40th anniversary of the album I can see Billy persuading Steve to do this song)
Madrigal (the 2017/2018 version)
and you and I
looking around
(Untitled single off the new yes album)
the ice bridge

intermission

Gates of delirium
soundchaser
to be over

Encore
roundabout
starship trooper

Hmm, not enough in first set to make me risk buying a ticket again.
Relayer, yes... but, but, but.

[Homemade Parachute]

That would be an amazing encore!

[Homemade Parachute]

More seriously, hmm… I think “Owner” has a less than 5% chance of being played: without Alan, there’s no one in the band with any connection to the YesWest material, so maybe it’ll get left for an Arc of Life tour, where a little set list padding could be needed. I can’t see “The Remembering” either, unless, what with the increasingly aged audience, they feel the need for a really long pee break. Something from Drama is more likely, with Geoff in tow, maybe even something from The Ladder with Billy. “Parallels” and “Madrigal”, sure, why not? They can do them ok.

Jon Davison is pushing for the remembering next year as it is tales 50th


owner makes sense as it’s 90125 40th anniversary

I wait for Mr. Holland To wow me with a setlist that I will instantly love more then my own

Since Squire’s death, they still play songs off the first two albums without anybody on those songs in the band. It’s just that Howe prefers that type of music over YesWest’s despite being in Asia.

[Mr. Holland]

It's going to be a difficult one. They play Continental Europe as well as the UK. So they can't just change out Relayer for CTTE and keep the setlist from this years tours in tact., because the UK would get virtually the same show. But I also don't see them doing a completely different setlist in 2023 without any overlap. Plus the chances are they'll have a new album out.

Not too sure how 'wowing my prediction is. It's a pretty safe setlist, based on the format of this years tour. But then again Yes is playing it relatively safe nowadays, so I do think my prediction is pretty realistic.

If we're looking for songs from 90125 that Steve's band can tear up the first one that comes to mind is Cinema and I would be fine with that.

True, Howe's been a little more gracious about that material, with "Time and a Word" in particular having a longer life in the setlist over the years… My suspicion is that he regards the first two albums more favourably in part because he was the replacement for that guitarist, and the YesWest material less favourably because he was himself replaced for it (kind of sort of not really but also maybe just a little bit). He can see that Yes evolved from those first albums while he also views 90125 and BG as some kind of devolution. Which, shame.
