Steely_D how was Jon Anderson then?

Waiting on a review.

Jon is great. Saw him and the band this past September. Don’t know if they are playing the same set list but the first half of the show (before the intermission) was a joy to true Yes fans. The second half of the show fell a little flat for me only because about half of those songs were new and… being biased… all I could think of was what songs from the Yes back-catalog could have been played in place of them. Small critique but there it is. He’s definitely worth seeing.
 
I was really hoping they would play “America”… God knows we could all use a boost… but it didn’t happen. Maybe you’ll get lucky. Post your thoughts after you see him/them.

Maybe some day Jon and the remaining Yes crew can patch up their differences and become one again.

YES IS BACK BABY. Seeing him in Oakland April 8th. Love the new music and the latest live release. These guys crank!

That cheer from the crowd at about 7:55. Man.
Don’t skip to it - they earn it with the buildup.

FUCK ME TED LEO'S IN GANG OF FOUR?
Can't replace Andy but holy shit that's a great move. 

Gang of Four (ish) in May

Thievery Corporation/Ozomatli June 7 at the top of Snow King Mountain in Jackson Hole. 
We just saw Modest Mouse a couple of years ago but the July 6 show would be awesome too... however we're seeing Lyle Lovett in Bozeman on July 4.
The weekend after that is the Montana Folk Festival in Butte, Montana. It's free, you all should go.
Later this summer is Wilco at Snow King but it's a Tuesday. That sucks so bad I might have to break a leg or something.

Hearing Spoon just now reminded me that 
Pixies w/Spoon and Fazerdaze are coming to Missoula, only 6 hours away! Ugh.

Steven Wilson in October... in Philly

Lake Street Dive coming to town in September..... hmm

No idea how, but I just got four front row seats to see Marlee Matlin and Henry Winkler speaking at a theater near my house.... Apparently friends for decades.

Aurora Melbourne - February 2025. Harmonies and instruments way off to the side, so she had to work that stage. Boy, I was impressed. 

Saw the show in Philly last night.  Brittany was amazing.  Michael Kiwanuka was good, and his band is fantastic... but Brittany was the star.  There are moments when you can literally feel her voice.  I caught myself wondering what it was like to hear Aretha in her prime.
