What happened? What was this?
They were actually here in Oslo. All the legends in concert.
Let`s start with the worst; Everyone can have a bad day. Benoit David, the new singer in Yes, did some of the worst performance I ever heard. Florence Foster Jenkins would be proud of him.
I do think the members of YES, really don`t want to remember this concert. They must be embarresed. I was for shure. Benoit, a nice fellow though, had some serious problems to sing this evening. It was false most of the time during the concert. I was really disappointed about this. I know he can do better than this…
No need to speculate in what the problem was.
Big time hero: Geoff Downes. Yes member and also former member of The Buggles and member of Asia. I just love his work`s! Me to the left. hihi.
The last YES album, ”Fly from here” is my favourite album this year. That`s also why it hurts so much. This was not a good concert. I had great expectations, and it all fell down on some really bad performance. Sorry to say. Even if the band was playing they´re best, it didn`t work out this night.
Hey! This is me with Chris Squire!
Luckily I got tickets from Rock FM and could go to the aftershow. And for me that was nice. Even though I didn`t say anything about the concert. I couldn`t. I am a little bit shameful of that. I usually tell what I think. But a great experience about meeting the legends! Hey, that was awesome!
Det var med store forventninger jeg skulle komme meg på konsert igjen. Det skjer ikke ofte, fordi jeg som regel blir skuffet. Det slo ikke feil denne gangen heller.
Vi snakker om legendariske musikere i gruppen YES. Gutta som har holdt på siden 1969.
Jon Anderson er ute som vokalist, grunnet alvorlig sykdom.
Benoit David, the new singer in YES, had a bad day on this concert. Nice fellow though.
Isteden er det unggutten Benoit David fra ”Close to the Edge” og ”Mystery” som har fått det tunge ansvaret å erstatte Jon Anderson.
For å si det rett ut: Det var kleint. Han holdt vel knapt en ren tone under hele konserten.
Med dette hadde han til og med røket ut i norske Idol.
Dette var rett og slett flaut.
Så mange bra Yes låter. Så mange legender på scenen. En vokalist så til de grader ute å kjører. Olga Marie Michalsen ville vært stolt.
Hadde jo den glede av å besitte aftershow billetter. Det var også en ganske klein forestilling. Mye smisk å spore. Vel, det er ikke min greie når det ikke er noe å skryte av.
Men gutta i YES tok seg tid til oss, og akkurat det, synes jeg var en opplevelse.
Den godeste Benoit var jo en hyggelig fyr, selv om vokalen hans på scenen funka rimelig dårlig, denne kvelden. Og jeg røk på nok en konsertskuffelse.
