Anderson Rabin Wakeman (ARW)

[orange]

ARW has begun their inaugural tour, no album, playing Yessongs and Yeswest related music, and despite Hurricane Matthew getting in the way of some of the Florida dates Yesfans seem very pleased and newly energized about Jon Anderson. Yesfans.com members can be a highly polarized bunch but I'm hoping the rancor will finally die some and we'll all focus on the hoped for second Union for Yes' 50th anniversary in 2018.

Some bands should just stay retired (no disrespect to YES fans)

I really enjoyed some of the fan videos on You Tube. They performed pretty well together and I think Jon looked happy about it. Rick Wakeman was as proficient as ever. The voices have seen the passing of time but I also think people try to redeem themselves through the people they idolize, and they will always fail to see the point. Being able to play a guitar or synthesizer or act etc. does not make you more worthy or better. It does make a boy a lot less boring.
