Please don´t get me wrong - I love Yes, I love the new album, I love Benoit David´s singing on that album, but this night in Copenhagen his singing was so incredibly awful that people in the venue started making fun of him, and some even left after a couple of songs. I don´t know why they played. I thought more of Squire/Howe than to play a gig where the singer is obviously not well. Had it been another band like, say, Motorhead I wouldn´t have cared much. But with Yes the vocals are as important as all the other instruments. They should have cancelled, as they have done now with the rest of the tour. To my dismay they didn´t, and I was left heartbroken after many of my favourite songs were shattered to pieces. That being said, I actually did enjoy watching Geoff Downes (and, as a consequence, 4/5 of the Drama-lineup). That was nice. But this gig should never have happened. The sample below is a film of Fly from here, the complete song. It was the only song during the entire show that came close to sounding ok. I shot it with my Xperia and replaced the sound with this recording. If nothing else, listen for the cool parts by Geoff. A sad day. I hope the band returns with either a singer that can cut it or with Jon, farfetched as that may be. I have nothing against Benoit David at all, but he ruined this gig for me. setlist: 1.01 Intro (2.41) 1.02 Yours Is No Disgrace (13.22) 1.03 Tempus Fugit (7.03) 1.04 I´ve Seen All Good People (7.33) 1.05 Life On A Film Set (6.00) 1.06 And You And I (11.55) 1.07 Solitaire (3.47) 1.08 Intersection Blues (3.23) 2.01 Fly From Here - Overture (1.53) 2.02 We Can Fly (6.01) 2.03 Sad Night At The Airfield (7.30) 2.04 Madman At The Screens (5.06) 2.05 Bumpy Ride (2.15) 2.06 We Can Fly Reprise (2.37) 2.07 Wonderous Stories (4.52) 2.08 Into The Storm (8.17) 2.09 Heart Of The Sunrise (12.38) 2.10 Starship Trooper (14.09) 2.11 Roundabout (10.33) "Enjoy" |
