Some speculating that as he has done little live work in the last year then it may be in better shape. However the lockdown Lady Madonna version (nice arrangement notwithstanding) seemed to prove otherwise.

I was at Stafford Bingley Hall too! (May 20th 1981)

As for recommendations.

Magic is the best songwriting wise, but sounds terrible. Otherwise Western Stars and (possibly) Wrecking Ball. Of course also The […]

Well I thought of buying it (if I can in Canada), but I seriously doubt I will ever read it. I am Beatled out (until next Lewisohn volume anyway).

Tempted, but I think I really have read too many books about The Beatles.

Up on amazon.com (or will appear soon)

Fair enough, but reviews of 4 (?) live albums in less than 3 years from a band that has 1 (2?) original member(s). May be of some little interest on a dedicated Yes site, but on a more general one it is perhaps […]

See above. That “band” being the one you see in the “Coming Up” video:

All space is finite. Looks like it was already reviewed (kind of):

As for Yes, they must be the biggest band EVER:

Is this site now a refuge for fans of has been prog and hard rock bands releasing pointless, desperate “Vegas” live albums? Surely there is better product to review if this site truly needs to carry such things?

Ironically as George discovers the sitar and has less interest in playing the guitar.

Not sure they had a guitarist playing solos at that time. I knew he switched to bass.

Yes. Did he want to be a lead guitarist? I find his solos to be perfectly fine from my, non musician, point of view. Everything he does is pretty musical.

Huh?

Personally I think he will use untreated vocals, we shall see.

1000 pages? That’s ridiculous, sounds like an enormous ego with an editor too scared to rock the boat.

Btw recommended not to click on things that are suggested to you or appear in your “in tray”. These are building up a profile of you somewhere on a server in California.

I further recommend watching “The Social […]

Well, of course he was singing well in 1970! I go with 3 great songs, Maybe I’m Amazed, Junk and Every Night. The rest are fairly disposable, albeit enjoyable. He had bigger hit rates on most subsequent albums. I […]

Which may not be done for a more basic completely solo, self produced lockdown album which is waht the “McCartney” albums are about”

His voice is completely gone based on the lockdown performance of Lady Madonna, could be interesting but painful listening. Last album Egypt Station has it’s moments however. Neither “McCartney” album is a […]
