I thought Bruford and White were fantastic drummers. Rick Wakeman became a star and was amazing. That said, for me, yes, was always about the interplay between Anderson Howe and Squire.

Great interview. I watched Smashing Time recently. I think it's the best 60's film ever made. I searched in vain for a shot of Steve but couldn't find him in it though. Blow Up, I thought was tedious and bizarre. Jeff's smashing of the cardboard guitar doesn't quite come off either.

I'm currently making my way through Steve's Autobiography, and with each chapter, it becomes more challenging to stay engaged. The constant stream of calendar dates is tiresome (to put it mildly), making it more and more difficult to focus on the essential details. What's particularly disappointing is Howe's tendency to air grievances without ever reflecting on his own actions. He consistently portrays himself as faultless, while eagerly highlighting others' shortcomings or trivial issues, like still complaining about his vocals being in a mix. This bitterness permeates the narrative and detracts from its enjoyment. The book's lack of transparency regarding certain events, like those surrounding ABWH, is frustrating, especially considering Howe's prior openness. Additionally, his omission of his involvement in the Peter Banks incident during the UNION Tour is glaring. It's reminiscent of Jimmy Page's unwavering belief that Phil Collins ruined Led Zeppelin's Live Aid performance-an example of Howe's inability to self-reflect. Not a shred of self-criticism. A little introspection is offered when talking about his family. Every artistic endeavor requires a guiding hand; any song or album needs some kind of producer, just as every good book needs an editor. Howe's approach to going it alone seems to stem more from ego than artistic vision. In contrast to the warmth and humility of Pete Townshend's biography, Howe's memoir lacks moments of genuine reflection or gratitude-no moments of joy, no flickers of light. Overall, while the book has its merits, particularly for fans, it falls short in delivering a balanced and engaging narrative.

Amazing history. Steve's first album he bought was Elvis. What can you say, those were the days. My first album at 15 was Rod Stewart: Every Picture Tells a Story. Such great music on the shelves then.
