Yes remasters/ HDCD

Yesssongs...best rock live guitar in history...Yours is No disgrace and Perpetual Change/end of Starship Trooper in my opinion have the most awesomely complete guitar solo's ever...Howe simply connglomerated rock, Chet Atkins, Wes Montgomery and others...all while he followed the logic and smelodic structure/rythm of the songs...he never goes off into LA-LA guitar solo land...

Foster,,I started with Rock, then classical and then Jazz guitar.

The first rock LP I ever owned was Relayer, which overall I think has the most innovative guitar work and sound. The solo in To Be Over is just tremendous,,and the contrapunctual work would male Bach proud.

I always shy'd away from Jazz because in the 70's the jazz axmen were pretty predictable and very scale oriented...For example, just now from the 90's on, I am enjoying tremendously Al Dimeola's and John Mclaughlin's work, as they are showing tremendous breadth of musical styles. I couldnt stand them in the 70/80's.

You might give Turbulence and Quantum Guitars (Steve Howe's solo CD's a listen).

Also, ABSOLUTELY no one overdubbs as well as Howe in the studio,,The guy is just amazing how he lets the music talk and not the chops.

I have been seeing them live for ever, and although they are tight, its a different band...some songs are slowed down, Howe isnt as explosive (well, he is older), and the mix even isnt the same...Howe is not at the front of the mix anymore as he used to be...compare the live recordings.
I love how Anderson sounds nowadays.

But Howe is putting much more creative and playing energy on his solo work.

maybe after I get the plum label Fragile, i will look for one,,,thanks for the tip!

oh yeah...the Orchestra thing...it has some strong moments, but it boggles down sometimes, but I still listen to it.

Honestly, The Ladder, I am finding to be the best produced/sounding YES LP since Fragile...
