Its fun to watch the banter between them over the years. I have a Acoustic Guitar article where Crosby talks about writing with her (on Yvette). He says she emphasized to him that if you have even two words that together mean something you should write them down. She says to him "you come up with more good phrases in one afternoon than most people could come up with in a week. What's wrong with you you brainless twit, write your shit down!" A favorite is when he accused her of writing Woodstock based on their (CSN)'s recollections of the event, when she in fact had it mostly written before they got back. She didn't like that. Say what you will about Crosby, I don't think anyone has been a more consistently enthusiastic champion of Joni and her work over the years.

Usually after I hit send there is something I would have changed. Hepburn-Tracy isn't a very good analagous comparison. There is something of a dynamic between Joni and David over the years. He is the first "really famous" person in music that she got to know, although I realized she crossed paths with some other musician/songwriters during the "folk" years. He did of course introduce her to many LA people and produce her first album. Though if he hadn't, certainly somebody else would have, or she'd have done it on her own.Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was just on TCM the other night and I watched it so that's probably where my train of thought was.

Probably what I meant to say is up to and including GFTO, I listened to every album a couple hundred times. After that not so much. I did listen to everything that follows, but for some reason Talk stood out to me then the others. Not saying it was better, but I probably played it more. With today's modern not necessarily better conveniences I'm amble to store many albums on a SD card in my truck. Tales & Relayer are on that SD card and during long drives back home they have a tendency to get played. But then again I saw the ABW&H twice during that tour.

I also saw Rick Wakeman solo live in Seattle around the same time. Both concerts were awesome! Looking at Wikipedia, I must have caught Wakeman solo in 1975, he apparently took a couple year break from Yes. So I must have seen Yes in 1976 when he returned. Great memories even if the dates are a bit foggy! Chris Squire was fantastic! RIP.

Its funny because I think that recording had a lot of bad attitudes towards it since everyone thought the old Yes was going to get together and then fans were disappointed by the return of "Yes West." "Endless Dream" is so very good and to my way of thinking is musically as interesting as "Close to the Edge." Trevor Rabin is good, a good guy and definitely was trying to form a band other than "Yes" (Indeed it was "Cinema") when the record execs said, "Why not be Yes?" Lots of people saw him as a usurper. Another instance where the wrong attitude/information can change the way you feel about something. I completely forgot to mention that I was lucky being a Memphian once (not normally used to getting new concerts since we can legally have no other venue than our new NBA citizen sucker arena) because ABWH opened the first show of that tour at our Mud Island Ampitheater. I'll never forget the moon reflecting on the Mississippi River while I heard "Close to the Edge" in its entirety.Oh that was one of those rare times where real life feels a little more exhilarating than it normally does ;)-Clint On Tuesday, June 30, 2015 12:14 PM, Happy The Man wrote: Now looking at that statement it seems I'm saying that Going for the One is my favorite.B Probably what I meant to say is up to and including GFTO, I listened to every album a couple hundred times.B After that not so much.B I did listen to everything that follows, but for some reason Talk stood out to me then the others.B Not saying it was better, but I probably played it more.B With today's modern not necessarily better conveniences I'm amble to store many albums on a SD card in my truck.B Tales & Relayer are on that SD card and during long drives back home they have a tendency to get played.
