You can't compare Babe Ruth (Steve Howe) to a little league player, Trever Rabin. All I know is this. When I saw Yes with Steve Howe in 1979, people walked out saying Howe is the greatest ever! Noone said that about Trever after the show. He was very sloppy during Yours is no disgrace. I love 90125, Big Generator and Talk. I think Trever is great, but Steve Howe is from another planet!! Watch the intro to Close to the Edge 1975, Queens Park, Trever's fingers would fall off trying to do that!
I also have all of their albums and I agree that this is one of their best works. I haven't decided my number one between Drama, Close to the edge, 90125 or Talk. Why there are Yes' fans who don't like this album?.
@lovehewitt1fan Because it comes with the stigma of being a "Rabin era" album. Is a shame they still don't give the credit Rabin deserves. Hey! you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Even if these are excellent or better than the ones they've learned.
Saying the "real" YES died with Tormato is so stupid and short sighted. How could possible the creativity of musicians of their caliber could be done by their thirties?
I think they really bought that "Punk killed Prog" mantra BS
Suertudos los hermanos chilenos que tuvieron la oportunidad de ver a esta alineación de Yes en vivo. Este es uno de mis discos favoritos de esta banda. Soy un ultra-fan de Yes. Aqui a México han venido varias veces, pero diferentes alineaciones.
I agree with most pro90125 fans here. I don't get the anti-Rabin feel. Talk is my all time favorite Yes disc ( and I have them all ). There is something extra special in that disc that wasn't promoted right. It really is a piece of pure beauty.
@Jedizen07 Son los mismos abuelos que dicen que YES murio con Tormato. Que pena que se hayan perdido anos tan buenos de esta banda solo porque la experimentacion musical utilizo otros puentes y estilos diferentes de los que estos se habian acostumbrado a escuchar. Canciones como esta, Walls, Endless Dream no le piden favor a ninguna cancion de albunes como Fragile, GFTO, The Yes Album (dejemos a un lado CTTE). Con este album Rabin acierta (100% esta vez) lo que es Yesmusic
@Jedizen07 Sorry I wrote in spanish. But basically I'm saying the same I wrote on my other comment. I also state, with this album, it seems to me, Rabin got it right, this time 100%, what Yesmusic is all about. And that's what makes this album such a masterpiece.
I, too, am a yeswhole. :-) I love Time and a Word, Fragile, GFTO, Drama, 90125, ABWH, Talk, Magnification, and Fly From Here. The music has always given me great joy, and it always will.
But to say Trevor SAVED Yes I disagree. Chris Squire is the one who has always held Yes together. Keeping the home fires burning. Yes Trevor had a lot to do with Yes' success in the 80's and early 90's. But you have to remember that the Union Tour in the late 80's wouldn't have happened if Jon AND Chris hadn't met and played the music they were creating as ABWH and Yes and decided to all tour as yes . . . Union is a good album as well.
@MrDaveintampa How can you deny that, when 80% of the music from the albums in which he was involved are his inspirations
Agreed, Chris is the one who held YES together (or at least the brand name rights) but what he did is just recruiting first Rabin and then Sherwood to keep the sound of "the band" (brand) updated and fresh That's not a savior. If you ask me, that's being opportunistic (or visionary perhaps) And you need to take notice how many years are between Drama and Union
Ok As grand-daddy, I have this to say. Everyone seems to have a favorite era of yes they like. However, I guess I'm a loner that has appreciated every era of yes. I do have favorite albums TALK is one of them.
4:00 to 4:25 love seeing Trevor play slide, which really colors & textures this song, along with his amazing solos throughout especially at 8:35 onwards, and at 6:40 with Chris. Always found this song a slightly darker sounding song, yet ultimately uplifting.
Talk was a great album but it wasn't really promoted at all. I got a video from the Binghamton NY date on the tour, and they played great! In fact, Awesome! People always wanna bash Trevor Rabin because he wasn't Steve Howe. He didn't need to be. He was Trevor Rabin! Tony Kaye is a great keyboardist too. He wasn't as much into the synths as Rick Wakeman, he was more into the pure Hammond B3 and nobody plays it better!
The reason Talk failed commercially is because America's obsession with grunge had killed quality rock music by 1994. And the granddaddies took this failure as an opportunity to attack Rabin and force him out of the band. After his exit, Yes released albums which only couple hundred people heard or cared for. Bring Rabin back, and Yes will be relevant again!
Bands go through phases in their career. This lineup, like all the others, was a phase, and, might i add, this was the most successful lineup in their career. I like Howe, and all that, but you cant argue the fact that Rabin brought Yes into mainstreme music; it saved them.
Saw this tour at MerriWeatherPostPavillion..went alone, hit up a scalper for 5th row center..yeah..i was love'n life. 94 was a great year thanks to TALK and DIVISION BELL.
I would have loved to heard the next album this line up would have done. Rabin was shedding his 90125 balls to the wall sound and really growing at this point of Yes.
seemed revitalized and became more creative again as well, injectcing their fresh artistic voices as well...instead of becoming stagnant and stale, they evolved and grew in a superb way.
I adore Howe, including in GTR and Asia, and Wakeman, including his solo work, and as a Yes fan, I love every member from their inception to present time..I'll never get though why some fans are so divided over the Rabin years, sublime songwriting, musicianship, material, tours, and Trevor injected new creativity into and all of Yes's members who
Rabin and the band deserve those cheers and that standing ovation! Notice Trevor plays slide here, which I rarely get to see him do...what a treat! The Talk lineup was so tight and strong performing live...just magic.
Trevor Rabin breathed a whole new life and artistic substance and vitality to Yes. He's an extraordinary musician, singer, songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, and co-wrote nearly all the material on Yes's albums in the 80's and 90's. Now he's one of Hollywood's most gifted and in demand scorer's..and he is sorely missed in Yes...for me...Union and Talk were 2 of their most artistic albums and Trevor's multi-talents were what elevated them and the band, in the studio and live.
I'm fed up with the grand-daddys talking crap about Rabin. Anybody who understands the minimum about musicianship and audio production knows what an excellent performer, composer and record producer Rabin is.
Even Wakeman said that without 90125 there wouldn't be a YES today.
In my opinion Talk is one of the best YES albums ever, and Endless Dream their last great masterpiece.
Couldn't agree more with you.I'm a guitarist for the past 26 years and can say that Trevor is a much superior guitarist than Howe...I love them both,but Trevor is a very strong musician in all fields of music.
You must be joking! Saying that Trevor is a much superior guitarist than Howe is like saying you would rather have $1 in the bank instead of $1,000,000,000. I saw the 90125 show 4 nights in a row. I saw the Big Generator show 3 nights in a row. I saw the talk show 4 different nights. Those 11 shows put together don't come close to the show I saw 6/30/79 - In The Round. Steve Howe did more at that show than Trever did at those 11 shows put together.
@stevezane Trever is great but, Howe was voted "Best Overall Guitarist" in Guitar Player magazine five years in a row 1977–1981 and was inducted into Guitar Player's "Gallery of Greats" in 1981.The only other two guitarists to win the "Best Overall Guitarist" category for the "Gallery Of Greats" are Steve Morse and Eric Johnson. Gibson Guitar Corporation,, said that Howe "elevated rock guitar into an art form" and "helped define a new style of music known as art rock. Trever Who!
@yesshows100 I'll be honest with you..I find all these magazines not very credible..You can ask many guitar players out there what we think about polls.Howe is by far the best guitar player..I can give you names that would make How a joke.Trevor Rabin was always an underated guitar player..only guitar players really understand what Trevor is all about.
I agree. I'm not going by the magazine. Seeing is believing! 1971 -1979. Steve Howe from 1989 - current is a shell of himself. Starting with ABWH I knew it was over! I have friends that play guitar that thought Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton were the best ever, until they saw YES in the 1970's.
@yesshows100 I gues its all about the one that gives chills..if you have a chance listen to Trevor's solo stuff..Did you know that the music in most movies of todays is made by Trevor rabin? He left Yes in 1995 and started scoring.He has a new Jazz album coming soon as well.
@douglasdg1999 Rabin IS a good performer , composer etc but his style has nothing to do with Yes kind of music. And what about 90125 - the only good side of this album is that it contains "Owner~" which help Yes go on ,but music of this album is just weak....ok it's quite nice POP ,but Yes is the Legend of Prog ROCK not a pop for goodness sake!
Talk has in fact almost nothing to do with 90125 - they had money so they returned to Real Music. But from NEW albums Magnification is better then Talk.
Like the material or not, the band might have performed their material as well as ever on this tour. Rumor has it that Squire and White started rehearsing 6 months before the tour even began and many weeks before the rest of the band started practicing. It shows!
This is the first Yes CD that I really connected with. As such it stands as a timeless favourite of mine. I can't find it in me to hate it for any reason.
Last of the true classic rock genre of early-mid nineties.Dire Straits"Every Street",Gilmours Division Bell and Genesis Cant Dance last of the mohecans.
@KingProgdor I always felt a real gut reaction to this record, too. Partially it was when it came out in my life (I was 17), but something real powerful about the sound and total effect of it. This is my favorite track on the album, and I never thought it would work live, as "Talk" is such a studio-centric recording. I was wrong!
This is when Jon said he and Trevor were actually more on the same page musically. Jon was no big fan of the 90125/Bg era, even though there is some awesome stuff on those cd's
You must be a grand dad to say this about Trevor my friend...he is a much more versatile player than How...get over the fact that grand dad Howe is not here and open yourself to music a bit more..no need to be conservative.
Yes you must be kidding because I have been watching all concert and this is where Jon's voice is spot on (better than "I am waiting" or "The Calling"). Not flat at all, hitting highs. Having in mind this is a TV broadcast mix and his voice is very exposed the imperfections are minimal. Great performance.
Great video - thanks. RE: Power of Real Love Live? Check the FM based CD boots of this tour - incredible power comes right through: awesome, rhythm of love was never better than this tour. Never gonna get that power on compressed video. Ironically, this clip is superb for 'getting' what Chris Squire is all about: this is a masterclass in how underscore a song with a few well chosen bass notes: gotta love it.
