I was searching for ABWH DVD reviews, and came across this thread. Funny how I was a HUGE Yes fan, but now I'm more interested in these new (to me) prog bands that I've been hearing on AM, like Sylvan, Kino, Rak, After Crying, etc. It was a long time since Yes gave us anything that sounded incredibly fresh and modern, I remember staring at the NYC skyline at night and hearing "I woud have waited for ever" in 1991 ... but Yes has gone milky and Jon has lost his hard edge, and of course, they're 60 years old. I've really been loving The Flower Kings, and I think Adam and Eve had that modern prog sound, while Paradox Hotel is great too. With the FloKis's, and Porcupine Tree and Spock's Beard, these guys are kind of like the next BIG 3 of prog. However, there is no band that could blow the roof off the house and into the stratosphere thru 4 dimensions like Yes could. The last time I saw them was at Madison Square Garden in 2004 and they blew everyone away, standing O's throughout, kicking everyone's ass and knowing it. If that's my last memory, that's more than ok with me.
