Fabulous & Lovely
His fellow Yes bandmembers are as well,but Steve has become my . Steve Howe is my hero. . . Hero!. . . I've always enjoyed the Man's guitar playing,but have only become aware more recently how deeply his creative genius has affected me. This recording almost definitively describes these qualities. A live offering,the show is almost unbelievable in how warm a performance it is. Personally speaking,I even love when he sings!The show has a flow and rhythm,an intimacy to it that is so often absent from proceedings such as these. Mr. Howe's enthusiasm for his craft shines through brightly and easily. At one point,early in the performance,he remarks,mildly "I'm sorry,but my guitar is tired!"-Whereupon he immediately disproves what he's said,and makes one wonder just what that instrument would sound like had it gotten a good night's rest. Joyous,playful,poignant and astounding. . . everyone I've ever played this for has enjoyed it immensely. One of the finest guitar performances I've ever heard-as highly recommended as is possible-once you've heard this,you, too will love Steve Howe.


Strong music, weak vocals
Great music! A little weak on the lyrics/vocals, but that's not why I listen to the guy anyway.


Great fun
Atmoshere is very frendly, family like. He is not my best guitarist (mine is Allan Holdsworth and Jan Akkerman maybe) but how I cannot admire him? Here is a great CD you can enjoy his intimate live(all solo guitar playing). There are so many songs and all of them are enjoyable. Because he sings his chorus part of the 'Roundabout' while playing guitar, you can be a lead singer of this greatest prog song (unplugged duet of you and yeah, Steve!). 2 weeks ago, I saw him at YES concert (7. 31. 2001 Concorde, california). He as well as all other yes members played as usual(Yes-like)! But it was somewhat sad b/c they looked a little bit. . . Thanks, guys.
