I still think that is a great album!

Isn't great to be among Yes men :-) You're right Fergus but it took me a long time to finally 'get it' between leaving the original Lp back exactly five minutes after I bought it! (due to a negative review in the shop next door to the record shop) and then an earnest student tried to convince me nearly twenty years later but I was having none of it! Finally I picked up a pristine copy in the local junk shop for pittance which didn't matter as I only wanted it for the sleeve! When I finally got around to giving it a proper spin I sat aghast, it was friggin' brilliant!! Still indulgent and terribly important but what wonderful harmonies and musicianship!! That was a great feeling, I tell you :-)

Listening to these earlier today and thoroughly enjoying the live interplay but especially Garcia's wonderful axe work ....

How did you get on with that one johnny....I hope that you enjoyed it?

Enjoyed it a lot, Fergus. I hadn't heard Time and a Word in years and I think that the classic Yes line up was Jon Anderson/Chris Squire/Steve Howe/Bill Bruford and Rick Wakeman, but this has a lot energy to it. Peter Banks and Tony Kaye are a lot better than I remembered. Good stuff from one of my favourite periods of music.

I would agree with you there Johnny.

Original vinyl w/poster!

Terrific choice there Fran and fabulous bass too... Have you ever seen the short film it's based on? I know I have it somewhere in the house. AFAIR I think it came with a special edition of the CD....

More Dead Blues....




2nd Live...




Hotch potch of studio/live stuff....

Nope, never saw the movie - must look out for it. I like them, have nearly all the stuff on vinyl. Would love to see them play......
