    This is full of mistakes. Tony Kaye was fired the band he started was badger. YES broke up in 1980 after the album drama . Most of 90125 was already recorded when Jon Anderson returned. The band now has no original members. Anderson, wakeman, Bruford & Howe are the only ones left from The Glory Days . Bruford retired, Anderson was fired, Wakeman continues to perform and record. Howe and his ego carry on with his 4 minions as yes.

    My first band in 1975 was called “Edge” we were huge YES fans even at 15, fast foward to 1980 I met my future wife,she took me to her high school friends house in Canoga Park ,CA her friend was and still is Billy Sherwood the current bass player hand picked by Chris Squire. Fast foward to 1994 we are now living in San Luis Obispo,CA and sitting at the table across from us is Jon,Rick, Chris and Steve at the Creek side restaurant in SLO they had rented out a former bank to use as a rehearsal spot ,little did we know but here comes my wife’s old friend Billy , he’s going to engineer a live recording at the Fremont Theater in SLO. Amazing!!!! Still to this day I see Jon Anderson in Trader Joe’s YES Trader Joe’s. He loves to talk ,so very friendly and spiritual. 🙏

They started the set in total darkness and then shone lights onto a large disco ball in the center of the arena. For what seemed like nearly fifteen minutes, they played the ocean sounds with the reflected light swirling around the arena like water before bringing up the lighting on the group.

      Hello Ron, from mad Cyril in the u.k., I worked in a U.S. owned U.K. based car plant
      In the north of England, for 35 years with Pino Palladinos brother in law.
      We both started work there in 1977 and we both retired in 2012.
      His sister got a job at the B.B.C. In London, were she met and married Pino.
      The lads who I worked with were heavily into good music prog rock, metal, mahavishnu,
      Santana, grateful dead, doors, spirit, Johnny winter, blues in general Hendrix, zappa,
      e.t.c.
      No sports talk on our division, I have 2 sons now both in their early 30s that played
      Bass guitar, in two separate bands, they still play but not as much these days.
      So I told my lads that I worked with Pinos brother in law, of course they didn’t
      believe me.
      At this point they were both in their late teens, and getting quite good so I said to my
      Mate, “ my lads won’t believe me when told them I work with Pinos brother in law”
      So a couple of weeks later, he came into work and handed me an envelope, containing
      Autographed bass picks, c.d.s, a set of strings, and a letter!
      I couldn’t get home quick enough, I will never forget the look on their faces!
      We take music very serious in our house, jaco is also on a pedestal!
      Take care.

    One of the most innovative groups ever. Each member was a virtuoso but not in the traditional sense. Squire and Bruford, expecially , played in a completely unique style and influenced millions to follow. They continued to grow (replacing members with better players) though once Bruford left, the results were somewhat hit or miss. White was a great rock and roll drummer but not quite as good of a fit. After Tormato it was evident that the prog thing had run its course and they were no longer inspired. They managed a come back with Rabin and the hit song but musically, they were a shadow of their former musical selves.

    "What happened to" any band that has main members in their 70s is a ridiculous, click bait question. They got off to a good start, had some line up changes, took breaks, recorded solo albums, reformed, had competing bands who's members eventually toured together! Then went on with the band for 23 more years. Then the heart of the band died. Then the soul of the band died. Somehow, in spite of this the band lives. Line up replacements were made and Steve is out there persevering and kicking ass with a band that sounds awesome. I remember some old interview footage where someone, probably John or Steve had said they hope Yes will outlive all of them. Absolutely. No different than any classical composers of old. They should be studied and played long into the future.

      I wouldn't agree on that. SH is still there and still delivers the goods. BS is an absolute worthwhile replacement of CS. The same goes for JD of JA, the only thing he lacks is that certain lightness of touch JA has with his singing. GD falls a bit short of RW virtousity wise, yes, but he makes up for this by reproducing RWs overall atmospheres more accurately than RW himself. AW may be dead but had to be embellished so to speak through JS for a number of years already before his passing. I wouldn't write the current Yes off so readily.

      @@scitsalcoryp Most long time fans going back to the release of Tales of Topographic Ocean found most of the album to ramble on with a few exceptions. It needed to be edited better and for most of it just needed to go in some direction. I’m not saying that their playing was poor it just lacked a crescendo. The YES album, Fragile Close To The Edge, Relayer, and Going For The One we’re all much better albums and loved by most serious YES fan!

    Next should be researching facts. Here I found a glaring mispronounced song title, too simple to ignore. Leaving the band or having been fired from it are also quite different. Tony Kaye for instance was let go, having wanted nothing to do with a Moog keyboard as the band requested he implement. Still an excellent musician though, but hardly factual in the presentation here.

    Billy Sherwood, per Chris Squire's request, took over on bass for the tour that year upon Squire's passing. Billy is a friend and Chris wanted the band to continue with Billy filling in. Chris wanted Billy to use his touring rig of amps but Chris' widow decided otherwise. I helped Billy with his main and backup backline for that tour. If you re-watch the Rock n Roll Hall of fame induction of Yes, the camera shows Billy in the audience at their table, although he was not inducted and did not perform that night.

      Lee Pomeroy should have been the one. But then again Yes today is nothing but a Tribute band.

    What happened to Yes?
    Hmmm let me guess. When Anderson got seriously ill and couldn’t perform, the others couldn’t wait any longer. They had contracts & needed money to pay the bills. The only choice was to find a replacement.
    When Fly From Here was processing, Horn came to produce & eventually Downes was asked to rejoin. Then David got to leave. Not sure why Yes didn’t invite Anderson to rejoin, and recruited Davison instead. Squire died and everything changed …. White & Howe became the only remaining members owned the brand ‘Yes’ (the other was Anderson). They continued with current line up. Anderson, who also owned the brand ‘Yes’ made ARW (now disbanded).
