[@billsadler3]

So, there is The Ox (shook his hand), there is Jack Casady, Flea, Phil Lesh... and hundreds of other amazing BASS GUITAR players... but Chris Squire had a vision of positive and high velocity, plus sensitive to emotions, music. Amazing composer and I heard a really funny guy. Miss the chance to meet him, but was there enough times so that is inconsequential. let the bands play on....

People put Yes at the top of the mountain as musicians, & they’re right. But what really sets Yes above the other virtuoso bands to me is the writing, the incredible lyrics & the phenomenal melodies. And that voice. Never going to happen again. Jon is once in a century.

[@irasteinberg6795]

I concur. I've been amazed by the voice of Jon Anderson since the 70s. My favorite band will always be Emerson Lake and Palmer. Something that I've been enjoying for over 40 years is ASIA Live In Budokan. When Greg Lake filled in for John Wetton, and Carl Palmer drumming, it was 2/3 of ELP. That's when Kozy is Powell got to tour with Emerson and Lake on the Touch And Go tour. Those two bands over the years have had some of Rocks' finest musicians and singers. My first indoor concert was ELP on the Brain Salad Surgery Tour, at Madison Square Garden. They toured with about 100 members of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. That got me hooked on going to concerts.

[@bobshultz5421]

Just a kid with a developing sense of music, I was on my way to the beach with my older, hipper sisters when this song, one of Yes’s few major commercial hits, came on KHJ radio. I fell in love with the song, it’s impossibly unusual and varying sound of master keyboard playing (not yet knowing who Rick Wakeman was) and just after acknowledging how hot Steve Howe is on the guitar while observing Chris’s deft and intricate bass lines, not to mention Alan Whites capable drumming. All this occurring with Jon Anderson’s boyish, fairyland soprano and angelic image takes you to other worlds! Fuck they were tight! I saw them in LB in 73’ when they did the Yessongs tour and it blew my head into little bits that sprayed the seats and people in front of me with glow in the dark brain matter during “Wurm” which was their usual last song. Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe get Into a call and respond toward the end with the synthesizer and guitar that still causes chicken skin that may bleed. Many of todays acts are great dancers and performers but few are virtuoso musicians at the top of their game with their instruments of choice! I’m for talent and skill, not image.
