Yes I understand the song usually comes from an entirely different band/person/time than where the artist is currently. Some of us go to shows to be a part of the newest thing, but most of us also want to be transported back to that place. I guess that's why some bands do a medley of 3 or 4 of their big hits then go on with the rest of the show.

Fripp wrote about this extensively and his usual reply when someone says “you didn’t do what I want” is to reply “looks like it’s time for you to move on.”

Saw Todd’s “Unpredictable” show and at the beginning he told us to not yell requests because then he certainly wouldn’t do it. So I immediately yelled “Hello it’s me”. Didn’t work.

Todd did shows last year that only included a few of his more well known songs and there were some of his devoted fans who were not enamored. He is doing another tour like that this year. I liked the show I saw (although I was slightly miffed with the exclusion of Just One Victory) and will be going again this year. I get what you are saying. The thing is, many of these performers have been out there playing for 40-50 years and they have a lot of songs and a lot of fan favorites. There are going to be disappointments. I can see both sides. Personally, I like to see a balance.

Well, if he didn't/doesn't like the song... he's in the best position now to not sing it. I think he should drop it from the setlist (along with one maybe two of the "new" songs) and replace them with some of the other back catalog "gems". Just an opinion.

Saw Yes many times since including Union. Once after a Howe showcase, Jon prompted him to come forward for a bow and he shook his head angrily and stepped back towards the curtain. Weird.

My photos, but not my video, from the show.
SPOILERS.
They fucking OPENED with CTTE. I was overwhelmed, a bit teary, and pretty sure I wasn’t going to make it to the inevitable Awaken (the best Yes song ever - fight me, bro).
Anderson came running out on stage with his arms out like an airplane before hitting the mike. Smiling, gracious, totally enjoying himself.
Never a moment where you thought he couldn’t do it - which is amazing considering he’s like 80.

Band is top notch, and included Chris Clark showing off that he can do anything Wakeman did.I’d seen Clark in the last version of Brand X and knew he was worthy. He doesn’t come off as a Big Rock God but he can play like a mofo. And the band acknowledges that. 

They did a few tunes from the new Jon album, which were OK - the songs weren’t that great but they performed them as best they could.

After a couple of hours they finished as predicted with Roundabout and no encore. But I coulda lasted another hour, easily. ROCK. GOD. Still going strong.

Jump to 11:37 for proof.

Ok this is a general question to anyone out there.
  
Has anyone recently seen any of the performances on the recent Foghat tour?

They are coming out my way and was wondering if they were worth seeing. I believe only the original drummer remains in the group.

I had my doubts... and when I clicked out to YouTube this "newer" concert was there.


PSet to start at "And you and I".

I seriously doubted his voice...but he sounds pretty damn good.  For 80....he sounds amazing.

Yes, he sounded great for his age. I recently saw John Lodge (Moody Blues) perform and they practically had to construct some type of scaffolding to keep him upright. The dude was very wobbly. Jon Anderson was spry compared to him.
 
Turns out the first sentence you never want to hear at an ageing rocker’s concert is… “Well as many of you know, I am recovering from a recent stroke. 
 
Wait? What?
