I have been a HUGE yesfan for decades. This is simply not Yes, IMO. This song, for example, is yet another plodding arrangement of a once fiery song. The trib singer is trying valiantly, and is usually close to being on pitch...but the timbre of his voice connotes none of the magic childlike sin...

This is not a horrid album...it's a half step above TRULY horrid outings, such as GTR, Mike & Mechanics, Asia...and the last Yes album without JON.

This mediocre song would have been better with Jon's singing. (Side 2 is truly a snoozer, though...)

I predict the demise of Yes, as with Genesis ...

I recently heard Fly From Here in its entirety. To be fair, it has its moments...almost all due to writing. Any of those moments would have worked better with Jon at the helm. But, as with Drama, FFH simply does not sound much like a Yes album without Jon. FFH would have been a fine STARCASTLE...

It's amazing how many "basenjis" on youtube have something else in their woodpiles! This one is not 100% basenji...

We raised and showed Basenjis. They are very sweet dogs...but rather stupid (and we had several).

The dogs whose images were carved in the pyramids! Yet eons of in-breeding have not enhanced their IQ. To the contrary... ;-)

All our Basenjis hated other dogs...and the bigger the other dog was,...

Remember...Nat, like Glen Campbell & Chet Baker...became famous singers AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT!

There are *many* parallels between Jack Kirby's Challs and his Fantastic Four. The best comparison may be:

-The FF were 4 superheroes trying to be regular people.
