Re: Rick explains reason for not touring with Yes

Yes might be one of those rare bands who could still get away with playing material they haven't recorded yet.

Also, I understand Rick's concern. He's had health issues in the past and in light of this he is not out of line or being unreasonable with his decision.
Is it a rule that you have to have a new record to promote to tour? I'm glad they have the flexibility to do what they want.

Whatever decision is made is none of our business, really. It is nice of RW to tell us - he is a stand-up guy - but I don't see any reason being out of line.

Sorry to sound contrary - I was disappointed but not surprised of some of the reaction to this and the proposed tour set list on that "other" site... Yes owes me nothing. With the internet, we're able to tell what will be played, and we can choose from there.

I paid 90 bucks to see them in July. I was owed 50 so that made it palatable and I know nothing will beat the last time I saw them maybe 6 yrs ago. But I'm still gladly going.
