But have to say that Yes without the ramblings and warblings of Jon Anderson would be like Jethro Tull without Ian Anderson (no relation).

............or like Marillion without Fish. Just isn't the same etc yada yada............

Wouldn't they then have to rename themselves from "Yes" to "I didn't really understand what you were asking me so I'll say we can do it anyway so as to save face"

it's sad, but may be the last chance, we are all clocking on, us oldies.

Well, speak for yourself on the age front but I must confess that I keep saying "I thought he was dead" when some old band announce a tour.

Errrrrrr Am I the only one to think that "Yes are touring later in the year (sans Jon Anderson)" is an oxymoron.....

Jon and no one else....
The Village People without a Cowboy

Are you still going to the Michael Jackson Concert????
Its exactly the same... but without MJ.......

I saw Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe a few years ago (probably about 15 years ago, now I think about it) and it was a great show. Some of their records may be a bit dull, but the good stuff is great, and live they were excellent. Think Jon Anderson was a big part of the general goodness though. I read somewhere that he may be guesting with Yes from time to time on this tour?
