Yes Tour 2008
25^th May, 2008 at 5:44pm

It's NEVER too early to have an "endless" dream set list. This being the 40th year tour, why not touch on every album in order to get the true PROGRESSION of these progressive kings? I will be at the July 18 show in Chicago. First row, half way between Jon and Chris, wearing my Stellar Attraction baseball shirt. Send me a message if you are attending.

The list is a stretch, but it is always good to have goals in your life! LOL

Looking Around
Astral Traveller
Perpetual Change
Heart of the Sunrise
And You and I
Live Tales Medley -- like what Howe did, but for 20 minutes and with much better vocals
Sound Chaser
Awaken
INTERMISSION
Release, Release
Machine Messiah
Changes
I'm Running
Shock to the System
Endless Dream
Be the One
Open Your Eyes
New Languages
Give Love Each Day

encore

Close to the Edge (what a way to finish a show!

Granted, it would be a 3-hour show. But isn't that what Endless Dreams are all about?

Anyway, just my wishful thinking.

Jeff from Illinois

Wow !!

Now that is a dream set-list there, Jeff. I like the inclusions of 'Looking Around' and 'Astral Traveller' - so many tracks from the first two albums I'd love to hear them play ...

An 'Acoustic 'Tales Medley' would be wonderful too. I remember when talking to Alan White at the Umbrello Record's launch that he'd love to play 'The Remembering' live. That and 'Endless Dream'.

Here's still keeping my eyes peeled for the Europe / UK leg !! Cool

I wish Yes would play some more different songs to.Especially something from TAAW and Endless Dream from Talk. Also I am still wondering when the dates are for when they come to Europe.

Selfishly, I do hope they hit the States again in either of those years as well (Note: I said "as well", not "instead of"!). Every show that we see now could be the last one. But this will be #49 for me! Jeff

Surely, they will do tunes from Drama.. after all, it's not we have ever heard them with Jon anyway and the new guy sounds more like Jon than Trevor Horn. So we can close our eyes and pretend.

You can hear him here: http://www.ctte.net/en/

And yes, it is "THE" Jeff... the antichrist of Eno/TD/The Orb; I guess I stopped dropping acid 30 years too early. LOL
