@theboofin Interesting comment. But you can't really expect an artist to be like he was when he first started out. The Yessongs album is in a league of it's own and is one of my favorites. I don't go to a Yes show now expecting to see "Yessongs". Howe can't just "plug into an amp" and crank it up. A concert is a big production. Also, music back then was less (technologically) complicated, so that's why you got that great raw sound.

the change in sound and the drums make the intro sound realy jazzy, bill was very much into experimentation with jazz so i guess i wouldent take much to tweek it.

Close to the Edge - a very complex piece of music

@theboofin or......he could play with the sound *he* likes...
-
He is one of the few guitarists that can get away with playing that clean. It's refreshing to hear someone play without the safety net of distortion. He is a killer of a player. I could not imagine Neil Young playing this clean, he sounds horible playing distorted. If he ever did this it would be a disaster.

@TonyMarmottaX @TonyMarmottaX Yeah, Tony I realise this is more jazzy and probably not the best place for my comment. Even Squires sound is too clean these days. Hell, the world is too clean!

@theboofin It is just a different vibe, at least in this video, but I do agree about the boutique sound...

If I had a criticism of Howe (and Yes) these days, it would be in the area of sound. I loved his (their) raw Yessongs sound but for the last 10 years or more his live sound has been devoid of any valve amp character and there is no aggression to the sound. Yes music requires a raw aggression. Especially as he ages and his physical aggression subsides, he should follow Neil Young and maintain an edge to his sound. Play thru a cranked 20 watt amp. Simple.
Love, Steve

Great to see a Yes man unafraid to Finally take the music and break it out of the original template. If only Yes as a group wasn't so hide-bound by the dogma and orthodoxy of their original vision. How many times can I hear Roundabout like the last 300 times. Please put a twist to it.
