Originally posted by Davy View PostI just wish they would stop using Roundabout and Starship Trooper for the encore. You have to play Roundabout? OK, play it at the end of the main set and surprise us with something fresh. Open the show with The Ice Bridge. Swap out Wurm for Wheels. Play a song or two from FFH, H&E, The Ladder, or even 90125. Do something, anything, that shows there's a pulse in there and you're not just a '70s box set.“Not a single philosophic, moral, aesthetic or biological discovery allows the denial of God.” ~ Salvador Dali

It is strange and I'm not sure who (Must be Steve?) it stems from but Yes have zero confidence in playing their own new material. Since Rabin left its been the "classic" lineup doing a "classic" setlist. Honestly I would be happy with a setlist %100 of music from the last 6 albums. Aaaaaaaaaaannnnd that just gave me an idea for a thread.
It will be interesting to see if they play more than 2 new songs on the US tour. They don’t appear to have much time set aside for rehearsals, so it does seem a bit doubtful unless they’ve been rehearsing more songs and haven’t played them live yet.

Originally posted by JMKUSA View PostThey played a lot of FFH live when they were promoting it, but much less of Heaven and Earth. That suggests to me that they were less confident in it. But also, at the time they were playing two full albums in concert and the promoters like that. So they had limited space in the setlist.

Yes have become a nostalgia band live. I don't think that's because of Howe or because Rabin left (the ARW setlist was 98% nostalgia). It's what happens when you get old and your audience get old. We've seen the same with King Crimson, with Genesis, with Jethro Tull (albeit somewhat less so), with Caravan, etc. etc. etc.

I think they did have more confidence in FfH than in H&E, which frankly is true for most of us.
