Saturday 14 October 2006
Jon Anderson has been doing many solo shows in these last years, always with a very simple approach, simple one-man show with simple instrumentation. A show of 2004 can be seen here. Then, in 2006, he noticed that Rick was also fond of this approach lately (after touring with orchestras and big bands, he seems to have got somewhat tired of that), and they decided to do a short tour in England. The result was a unique show, more interesting than Jon's solo ones (in my opinion), as it combines Jon's beautiful - and, here, not laid back at all - voice, his most simple acoustic guitar, and Rick's well known style accompanying, here using only a grand piano.
I really miss the guitars, basss and drums on most songs, but if you regard them as new and surprising arrangements, it's a very interesting concert.
Simpler songs, such as Your Move and Roundabout, became better than some more complex, like Ritual. Rick's solo section is so good, I'm sure their fans will love it. Oh, and of course his talent as a raconteur and joker are as entertaining as his piano playing!

thanx.
This show was at Buxton Opera House on Saturday 14 October 2006. We saw Jon and Rick on this tour three days earlier and it was a fantastic evening. They are a great combination - hoping to see them touring with or without Yes again soon!
Thanks a lot for the information!
Grande show, tive a oportunidade de uns 3 anos atras assistir o Jon num show solo aqui no RJ, mas esse com o acompanhamento de Rick Wakeman ficou magistral
Valeu
This was a pretty good tour. I'm going by what I've heard of the Sheffield concert played three weeks later, but the set list is about the same.
A fair amount of new and unreleased material is in here, as well as some interesting reworkings of Yes material, although some it is hit or miss too... The ones you want to hear are Yours Is No Disgrace, South Side of the Sky, and the truncated And You and I. I did not think that Awaken worked well in this format. Jon's piano medley is always welcome, as is most of Rick's solo stuff. Anyhow, it's a good performance from two veteran musicians revisiting their back catalogs in different style.
Muito obrigado!!! Thanks again.
Thank you, brother!
Keep doing this fantastic job!
