Starship Trooper - Yes Live 2011 - 3/6/2011 - Houston - HoB

Damn this song was great! Used to be a time when I would think, "Not Starship Trooper again", but all the songs played this tour were incredibly special.

All right, comments now need my approval. We know Benoit isn't Jon Anderson, tell me something new!!! Every comment is emailed to me NOT Yes, enough already, please!

Nice job, Benoit! Kudos to the videographer, too. Good work.

@curiousted Thank you. It's not easy staying still during concerts!! But well worth the results.

I've been a YES fan since 1975 , so reckon I'm entitled to an opinion ... I've seen this lot live . I like this lineup ... Oliver is becoming his own man , and Mr David is doing fine. Finally this is the best version of "Starship" in years !!!!! Now , what about that new album ? BRING IT ON !!!!!!!

Benoit sounds a lot better live than in this videos on Youtube. He really hit the high notes during CTTE. Thats what made me go see them 3 times in the past few years. Might be heading to Charlotte in a few weeks to see them play there.

@MrManigus your nuts man yes is jon chris rick alan steve you must be sniffing glue or huffing gas if you think steve howe dosent belong

[rpcurtiss]

Steve Howe is essential for the Yes sound..more so than Jon..Drama and FFH prove it (for me). Trevor Rabin Yes was the imposter..Poison-style guitarist and a band obsessed with hit singles. I am a Yes fan since 1972..and have seen them 30 times. This is just my opinion, kids, it's not a pissing contest.

Great performance of a true classic.

@MrManigus ah...i disagree...each line-up has had its own character, and each brought out some very special music.

Buggles Yes created Drama, uniquely their own, Rabin Yes was the only line-up that could have created Big Generator...each one has been a great thing for music...

I met Mr Howe in Nashville, and he was just such a gentleman...he agreed to put his initials under the pickguard of my ES175...i ran out to my car to get it! eh then showed me how to play this lovely intro...what a VERY nice man.

the only band member i have yet to meet is Chris...looking forward to that someday!
