Me too!!!!! My mother must have known every measure

Same story here. Major Beatles fan, heard CTTE, went from Beatlemania (saw them twice) to adding Yesmania (saw CTTE concert) and haven’t turned back from either since

Same here but even from the first long play called Yes, the best follow up of great talent

...

Nice to see you on here! I recently discovered Billy's first band Lodgic, an interesting band influenced by Toto and 'Synchronicity' era Police.

For sure, "The Ladder," particularly was a favorite of mine and I really enjoyed the tour and merch.

I agree with you Randy. The 'Yes Sound' no longer existed when Bruford left, and to me, their 'bite' also disappeared

ABWH is YES, and I saw them live in 89 and 90. Great show

@@PaulFormentos I saw ABWH in 1989 at the Greek theater in Los Angeles. it was, by far, the best concert that I have attended. I ended up taking my sister when a series of mishaps prevented my wife from going and damn near kept me from being able to go. I have always appreciated how Yes doesn't waste a lot of money on pyrotechnics and other nonsense, they rather just put on a heck of a show. To return the favor, and for my 30th birthday, my sister took me to see Yes's Union concert in 1991. That show combined the ABWH and 90125 lineups of the band. The eight member ensemble was nothing short of a miscarriage of music. If my sister hadn't paid for the tickets I would have left after about 30 minutes of the show. Bill Bruford and Rick Wakeman have both expressed their regrets for being a part of the Union show. Perhaps I am being too critical. Yes, in my opinion, will always be the classic lineup

Absolutely. I personally find it interesting that Drama sounded more like Yes without Anderson than 90125 & Generator did with Anderson. But Anderson was not the main songwriter on those albums.

bad memory

Agreed. I just watched a hilarious video where he described meeting/opening for Jimi Hendrix the first time. Chris was one of the most amazing bass players in rock history in my opinion.

The photos in general don't align with the history being told. Interesting comments though.

Yes- that is FLASH.

Figured it had to be something like that.

Geddy said if it wasn't for YES there would have been no RUSH

I noticed that, as well.

bad memory

​@@DennySomachProductionsWell yeah, but who?

They played in Atlantic City, NJ, in July 1971, opening for Jethro Tull. My Uncle Hank and Aunt Marianne Hecker were at the concert. I heard a radio interview with Jon Anderson around the mid-1990's, and he actually MENTIONED that gig! July 7th, 1971, I think.

The picture of Ahmet Ertegen looks like it's from the 1930s. Then there are recent pictures while they are talking about something that happened fifty years ago. And one of the pictures is not even Yes !!! ... How the f&$# does that happen?

Yeah; they were all Swiss. And they had a hit here in Chile called More Tea Vicar, an instrumental from their album.

Yeah don't ask.

I agree. But now all these years later, I think they had gone as far as they could with bruford. Also, from what I understand that was going on behind the scenes, if Bruford had stayed they eventually would have killed each other.

They got better - TFTO and Tormato !!

OK Circus of Heaven@@paulbrookes413

Agreed

Alan was GREAT may he RIP

...uh...no.

Best album, according to whom?

It's brimming with dynamism and variety ! What more do you want?!

@@paulbrookes413 There are at least 7 (and likely 8) albums in the Yes canon that are better, including the greatest prog album of all time.

​@@jakeyellI put TFTO in second place followed by their First album ! I don't need to hear anything else of theirs.
