@@simonespanu7768 I wonder how much notice there was and if there was a rush to put it together (no pun intended). sometimes it is not as simple as a phone call and people have schedules.

Some of the most talented musicians on the planet. I have had the opportunity of seeing Yes in its various guises many times over the years and every concert is engraved in my memory. The fact that they continue to play with such energy and attention to every detail after 50 years is astounding. Stever Howe has to be one of the finest guitar players of all time. Technical brilliance. Jon Anderson sings as well in his 70's as he did as a thirty something. Wakeman - what can you say - outstanding. Rabin slotted in like he had always been there playing alongside Howe. Geddy filled some very big boots and did so perfectly. And as ever, not a single beat missed by Mr White. My late partner treated me to Andersen, Rabin and Wakeman in Nottingham just a few months before cancer took her away. What a night but this tops it.

[@rogindaUP]

Saw this amazing band in Detroit, about 1977. Absolutely amazing experience. Somehow ended up down in the parking garage (?) area as they were just finishing up their encores... Three or four long white limos running, waiting to whisk the band away to safety. Ran up to the 1st or 2nd limo in the line... came face to face with Chris Squire... I was knock-knock-knocking on that window: "Roll down the window man! Roll down the window!!" He just turned, gave me a big grin, & a big thumbs up! The window didn't open, & the garage door did... And then they were gone. Yes has always been one of my all time favorite bands. Will never forget that experience. My brush with greatness!

Geddy is a wise man...he choose a neutral Jazz Bass. A neutral axe is especially significant for saying he is not imitating Chris, but neither being the bass player of Rush. Respect.

[@bigguscurlyus]

But the Jazz Bass has been his instrument of choice for most of his career, so I'm not sure how he's not saying he's the bass player of Rush? I think he was just using his preferred bass.

[@LordSkunk707]

@@bigguscurlyus I heard that he tried a few Ricks, but the tone he was looking for ultimately came from one of his Jazz basses.

@@LordSkunk707 He used Ricks a lot early on, up through the early 80's. He played a bunch of others (Wals, Steinberger) during the 80's, but then went back to the Jazz in the 90's until today. Most of his tone is from his playing style though.

@@savannahchurchofchristsava4730 your point on different styles is spot on. I have been a Yes fan for 50 years or so, and the excitement of finally getting in HOF plus that performance got to me. Personally, I have Keith Emerson on top for rock keyboards (many better classical and jazz, with Wakeman and Jon Lord next for rock) and Howe and Squire on their instruments. But plenty of others are close. I can make a case for Hendrix as the innovator of everything after him. Lee and Entwistle and McCartney on bass along with Squire. Plenty to choose from.
