It crossed my mind,but I let it pass:0 He became better,but I personally can't put him up there with there very greatest,not for technique,or innovation,or anything. Plus I have an inherent distaste to Jefferson Airplane.

Interesting one of the lines Anderson sings at the very beginning of Revealing Science of God....
Revealing corridors of time provoking memories,
disjointed but with purpose...
I agree. Close is almost totally seemless. And there are parts that are almost love ballad type material, so it's not so religion/spiritual/mystic based.

I saw Led Zepplin live at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh in 1972. It took them four songs just to get warmed up. Not one of the best live bands I ever saw.
I think Roy Buchanan, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Peter Green and Jimi Hendrix are all better guitar players.

I believe the ARMS Concert only came to three locations: Madison Square Garden, the L.A. Forum, and the Cow Palace. We were among the lucky ones.
Saw Page one other time -- with Zep, 1977, L.A. Forum. Loudest show I've ever attended. Shoulda brought some cotton.

"Daydream" by Robin Trower is better than "Stairway to Heaven".

"I saw all three at the same time at the ARMS Concert (Ronnie Lane's benefit for multiple sclerosis) at the L.A. Forum in '83"
I have a bootleg recording of that very show, LA Forum 12-5-83, on 2 -90 min cassettes, a fair audience recording. I have the following ARMS Concerts on DVD, London ,SF and NYC, all two disc shows....good stuff.

Nuge blew my ears out so bad in 82, I was afraid to go back again. He is an awsome performance.
I swear, I couldn't hear for like 2 days... loudest performance I've ever seen

Most any song from the "Making Movies" album by Mark Knofler and Dire Straits.

Anderson has said that CTTE was based on Hesse's "Siddhartha". I need to read it some day so I'll know just what he's talking about. But the words are still beautiful-I listen to "Yes" primarily for the music as a whole.Anderson could've used gibberish lyrics-some say he did,LOL-but he's said that sometimes he used words as musical notes,for what sounded good and fit the music,not to convey ideas.

they all had a tendency to play a bit too loud.
i remember a yardbirds concert (with page) in the beacon theater (i think), where they played so loud it was actually painful. beck was prone to doing that also.
and nobody has mentioned Mick Taylor. he played on a John Mayall album called "diary of a band", and did some nice stuff. (it think he played briefly with the stones, but that's another matter.)

Crossroads #10? That solo is otherworldly. Glad to see the solo on "Hotel California" in the top 10. "Bodhisatva" is a personal favorite.
