Re: Yes to tour w/ "Jon understudy"
I don't care for clone singers (see Journey's attempts to find a new Steve Perry). When you change drummers or keyboardists, you don't expect them to be clones. Why no just look for the best singer, period?
That said, I hope they don't recycle the hits. We all know the reason no Drama is played is Jon won't sing it. Other than that, I'm all for the idea. Why whine that Jon is gone? At the end of the day, Jon is a musician. He's not irreplacable. Yes has had many line-ups. The more the merrier. My real gripe is Oliver Wakeman. They should get Geoff Downes.

Re: Yes to tour w/ "Jon understudy"
Quote:
The question comes to mind, "who's next to be trib-traded out?" Will this eventually evolve into the "official tribute band", the one that flies the Dean logo ? I think this non-artistic direction leads to casinos and State Fairs ala the Beach Boys for arguably the greatest Progressive rock band ever. I would've loved and supported an effort to merge some existing talent in the way that even the Syn has bounced back w/ Francis Dunnery, Tom Brislin, Brett Kull (touring band, production). Imagine a new "Drama" concept w/ say, Neal and Ryu joining C,S,A in a new Yes... K
