[Homemade Parachute]

For predictions as to what actually *will* get played?

Cut from the Stars
Mirror to the Sky
To Be Over
Ritual
And You And I
Going for the One or Parallels
All Good People
Heart of the Sunrise or Long Distance Runaround/The Fish
Tempus Fugit
Roundabout
Starship Trooper

Obviously some space in there for other things, but I suspect these are the likely candidates.

Yes, I agree. But with my setlist I've taken into account that Davison has said in an interview that one song from Relayer will definitely be played this tour, and since Gates was played in 2019 my money is on To Be Over.

Billy posted the other day that he's rehearsed a song for the last week he had never ever played before. Now all Relayer songs, while not all played in concert, have been rehearsed in the past, thus Billy has played them, thus he can't be referring to any of those. The Remembering was brought up by both Howe and Davison in recent interviews as a song they really want to do live. Tying those things together I predict The Remembering being played.

Just got tix for Cincinnati, looks like a good venue, and tix are cheaper than last tour (VIP as well are cheaper). This will be my first YesShow since 2019, the longest break between shows since the long cold winter of 2005-2010.

You could be right, but man, even I have a hard time seeing The Remembering work live, it’s just a momentum killer — sorry everyone who likes it, I certainly like parts of it, and all of it on occasion, but there we are. A medley of Topographic Oceans moments, say twenty minutes max, would work well to keep things flowing.

Firebird Suite
The Gates of Delirium
Sound Chaser
To Be Over

intermission

Mood for a Day
(Audience participation song) Old MacDonald
Cut From the Stars
Starship Trooper
Roundabout

[The sage]

Steve has said something like- this version of Yes play music from all Yes timeframes.... so

Future Times- Rejoice
Cut from the Stars
Wonderours Stories
To be Over
Machine Messiah
On the Silent Wing... full version - or Release Release
I'm Running
Heart of the Sunrise
Endless Dream-
Into the Storm

I fear that given ARW is a distant memory- I doubt we will ever get to hear some of the YEsWest epics - maybe JA and the Band Geeks??

I love The Remembering and would love to hear that live. As for it being a momentum killer, I suppose that would depend on the contest of the show. I agree that it doesn't have the impact of a CTTE or Awaken as a main set centerpiece type track before the encore. Not something you close the main set with, like CTTE/Gates/Ritual/Awaken/even Endless Dream. The Remembering's effectiveness would depend on where they place it in the set. I think it would work somewhere in the middle, where Yes usually would play deeper cuts or new material.

It would be a minor miracle if they DIDN'T play anything from CTTE !

I'd be up for that. There's 22 or so other albums to pull from. Almost anything will float my Yes boat.

[Gilly Goodness]

Give me at least the Big 3

Homeworld
Machine Messiah
Mirror to the Sky


Think we'll get The Remembering and Soundchaser.

Got a soft spot for NONNEN. It grooves

The Ice Bridge has swag

SK is a monster

A Living Island would get lighters held aloft

All Connected is a pop-prog classic ala The Police

Retire some of the old warhorses

deep cuts : Universal Garden, Into the Lens

opening walk on music : Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring ( the climax )
