    I saw Yes in 1971, and they were amazing! I still remember Chris Squire breaking a bass string (!) in the middle of a song. Amazing thing: the whole band stopped playing instantly, Steve Howe picked up his acoustic guitar and started playing Mood For A Day, a song they almost never played live! No more than 3 or 4 seconds form broken string to---a classic classical piece! Fast forward to present day. My son, just turned 20 and he was watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I heard Roundabout playing! I had to find out what that was. So what next? I end up getting hooked on JoJo, have seen all the videos with the entire JoJo story arc (I know the manga goes further), and I really like it. And my son bought the Yes album (that's right, vinyl) Fragile. He's now a big Yes fan, and digs lots of prog rock from that time period! Win-win!!

As teen we had a band, amateurs all of us, but we played with our hearts the music we loved. My tribute to the whole band and for my fav bassist Chris Squire. I am bass player and ive learned a lot seeing videos like this.

      blica 1 that level of musicianship is still around, you just have to go to technical death metal shows to witness it, hehe. seriously though, 80's hair metal and glam rock bands turned all the nerdy shredders into the shadows where they continue to lurk, creating things like "The Animation Of Entomology" by Blotted Science.. :D That album is a direct descendent of 70's prog.
