"Going For The One" is nothing less than a sublime experience.
Everything on that album is a delight.

I also love how it's mixed with the subtle motion in the reverb, etc.

I also think they experimented with new rhythm structures, etc. so they continued to push the envelope of what Rush music was/is.
I knew someone who worked on their tour crew. I think the person who sold me one of my keyboards also worked with them on tour. I have great respect for how they handle their tours. They seem to be very family oriented and don't drive themselves (or their crew) into the ground on these tours and they always leave space for time off to go back home for a bit. At least those are the stories I've heard.
Whatever the case... Rush live is a great experience, imo. I missed them the last time they came around, so I hope to be able to catch them next time!

I like Fly From Here as well!
Relayer is also a good one! Pretty much all of those albums from the 70's were seminal for me. Even Tormato has some good moments, imo.
Well, I think it's great that we have so many Yes fans around here! You guys feel like family.

I think that and The Yes Album are my favourites, maybe the only Yes albums I *really* like, all the others have parts where I tend to drift away and lose the plot. Maybe too 'jazz' for me.dea-man wrote:"Going For The One" is nothing less than a sublime experience.

Re: Rush, I think they did some very good songs well into the noughties. Though I failed completely to find a way into the last one (Clockwork Angels) I think I've made it maybe four or five songs in at best, just hit this wall of music/noise. Maybe the mastering, maybe the lack of hooks...

i liked tormato... it was my only Yes album and i would listen to it quite a bit.
my favorite Yes song is the title track from 'going for the one'. it seems this song grows in legendary stature with each new listen. there's a heckuva lot of really koo Yes bits out there so obviously, ymmv.
steve howe is probably definitely.. probably really.. one of the top 5 or 10 all-time 'rock guitarists'. to paraphrase a really huge fan -- and fellow musician -- i once met, 'howe has a really unique approach'. the fan went on to elaborate, saying something like, 'howe was on stage with several other big-name guitarists, and they were jamming on a-G-F-G; a pretty much standard rock progression; and trading solos, one by one. well, all of the other players were roughly similar, then howe's turn came up and he was totally different.'
