Anyone here just for the bassline? Mark O'Toole is a monster.

[@vrlord7949]

More space for the bass!🎸

[@tommystravels64]

100% agree mate!!!

INDEED, this guy is prime

[@alexanderfrantz5299]

I could listen to the bassline alone all day 🤘

[@MrMarco33333]

It's the tone as well. First thing I noticed. Looks like a Precision through a Trace Elliot. It's the sort of tone that makes you wonder why you'd ever use anything else but a Precision. Sadly mine doesn't sound like this but my 70s one came close.

[@stefanorovedoni3171]

That monster bassline killed me 40 years ago and still does !!!

[@darklordlc]

That baseline is pure fire.

[@catherinebillings9520]

That bass is just fantastic ❤️❤️❤️

[@louise_rose]

Yep, agree! Btw Steve Howe is also on "The Murder of Love" by ZTT label mates Propaganda, where he contributed a lovely solo - his tone and phrasing on that one are instantly recognizable if you've heard him with Yes.

Thank you Trevor Horn .This incarnation of the band is better than the original ! Ryan Malloy is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.He is also working as a team,we get to appreciate everyone's talent.The original was good but this set is majestic,so powerful! I call bullshit on people saying it's karaoke, the lead singer has it all,powerhouse vocals,great visual appeal and great swagger without being pretentious. I was blown away and I'm old enough to have lived the 80s ,this is live ,so tight as good or better than even ABBA.Then I learn Ryan had just over a week to learn the songs ,bravo just wow!

@@cletusbeauregard1972 And they toured together during the Drama album days in 1980. Saw them at NYC's MSG. Trevor struggled a bit with some of the high notes on the classic YES songs, but all in all, it was a great, memorable show. Especially since Steve played Les Paul during most of the show if my memory is correct. He later said it was an unsatisfying guitar for the tour.

Correct me if I'm wrong but CD's didn't exist commercially when this album was released as far as I know. I was there in line to buy the vinal and get it signed by the boys when it came out after the smash of Relax and War. And I bought what was one of the first commercial CDs of some classical music and then the amazing Brothers In Arms a few years later.

[@MrCrrispy]
