Cheers Mr H.

Have just watched them all.

Juano has an electronic conga pad.

Geoff has a foot pedal that makes sounds.

Billy looks great in a kimono style cape-jacket

Jay smashes his drums

Steve makes lots of strange hand signals

and durin' TIB some strange twangin' at one point

________________________

Now the songs.


Wow. NONNEN surges,groovy,consumate performance. Great sounds. Geoff shines. Juano sings with gusto.

TIB was a thrill to see Live. I actaually put my arms in the air when the fanfare began. Billy is a monster with his muscular bass.

Only heard 4 secs of OTSWOF before the video cut out after Firebird.

NEWS FLASH


Juano doess first line so maybe they do whole song.? Apart from drum/bass intro. Shame that.

Juano seems very relaxed doin' CTTE, R and WS.

He really leans into singin' 24 before my love and I'll be there!!!

Nice touch for Billy to be in spotlight centre to lead off on DIRH.


Visuals are OK. Waterfalls, snowy ice bridges, swirlin' galaxies. Alan's tribute looks wonderful.

Thankyou to Gianfranco Volpe. Nice work.

I am enjoying these more than I expected. But they cut off too soon! 😎

[Ash Armstrong]

I started putting them on to the Yes on Youtube thread in Audio and Video, but Arno has done a much better job than me, since he was actually awake and I barely was....

[Chrisklenox]

Boy, it's just hitting me very suddenly how much the world has changed since they were last on stage. Alan being gone feels very final to me now as well... Not logical at all, I know, but I always expect to see him in new Yes clips. I think the reality of his passing just really hit me for real for the first time.

Anyways, I am glad to see them back at at, and sounding pretty good for a 1st show here as well. Jay is coming in hot and sounding great. Ditto for Geoff. Jon sounds nice and solid as always. Billy seems not to be his usual self, but that's understandable. Howe's timing is a bit all over the place at times, but it's been 3 years off from gigging now, so I am sure he will get back into the flow after a few nights.

Looking forward to more and more clips as the tour progresses!

I want to see full clips of OTSWOF, but I do find it odd they cut off the intro, especially especially because that’s the most distinctive part of the song. But at least they are doing some of it I guess.

Lame. They cut out all of the fun parts, like a bad single edit.

Yeah, it’s strange because they still did the keyboard solo on the end and I think that was done fairly well. But the skipping of different sections (which don’t seem like they would be that challenging) makes me wonder if they are taking out part of the song on this tour to see if they want to do the full thing on the future. Perhaps there wasn’t enough time in the set for the full thing?

I don't know about that. I know that Steve has been vocal in the past in that he believed the majority of the Tormato album did not translate well to the stage. Perhaps the bits were taken out, of which he/the band thought, did not translate well to a live setting.

I can see, though not necessarily endorse, shortening the instrumental sections, but to cut the whole “Where we are coming from or where we go…” chorus? That is integral to the song. It’s like listening to vinyl and the needle skips ahead.

[Frumious B]

Does Steve Howe know that the Tormato tour bootlegs are some of the most revered recordings among fans?

[Davy]

Thank you, Ash and Arno!

[True]

Am I unique in my feeling that the strongest part of OtSWoF is the insrumental opening, before the vocals kick in?
That's how I had always viewed this song - a great opening and a pretty good song after the opening.
I am surprised that they elected to edit the song in this manner.
Especially in light of Steve Howe's comments over the years indicating that he preferred to present complete versions of songs and had sometimes resisted Anderson's suggestions of presenting edited versions of ceratin songs on stage.

No, you're not alone in that thinking - I regard the song (and the opening) as one of Chris's finest hours.

That said, I'm not going to knock the band for bringing in part of it - I've only ever heard it live once, when I was at Wembley in '78.

I'm excited by the set list and shows, which I'll see 3 times over the next 2 weeks - so maybe I'll comment after that !
