Because you're thinking these Artist have had bigger hits w/ fans you can always phrase the question "It was your biggest Chart hit/success" to make that distinction.
Side Note: Get Trevor Horn on the show to discuss his career. Amazing catalog
Keep a look out for Eddie Jobson in the video :-)
Hey Rick if you see this and don't know the Lemon Twigs yet, please, please listen to their 2023 album "Everything Harmony" incredible talent and incredible music is still around and MADE today, it's just so well hidden for some reason. This album is absolutely unbelievable.
Swinging

You looks better than money in the bank
Bend it til it breaks
AN odd thing to discuss with the guy who wrote all the lyrics on "The Yes Album" "Fragile" and "Close to the Edge." You could argue he set the lyrics standard for prog rock, but "Owner of a Lonely heart" ain't that.
Jon Anderson is one of those singers whose speaking voice sounds just like his singing voice..
I had a client years ago who looked and sounded (speaking) like Jon. It’s was uncanny really.
True, it's usually very different 😊
It is a result of his singing. His "everyday speaking voice" was not exactly like this, before the 1980's.
Castrato like
@@proseforpoetsexactly!
I just adore Jon Anderson.
Rick does a fantastic job as an interviewer. No interruptions. Let everybody keep talking. That’s not easy, when you’re hungry for everything you want to know.
Thank You 🙏
D'accord. Agreed.
Yes! My friends and I once saw them in Lawrence Kansas on a Friday night, then in Kansas City the next night, then we drove 250 miles to see them the next night in Saint Louis Missouri! We were throwing a Frisbee in the parking lot and the band pulled up and got out to go in to do a sound check several hours before the show. We introduced ourselves and told them how much we loved their music and they invited us in and we hung out with them on the stage while they got everything dialed in! I will never forget drinking 🍻 a beer with Rick Wakeman while he got all his keyboards set up! Jon & all the guys, Chris, Steve, Allen were really genuine, humble down to earth guys. Memory I will never forget! I've seen them dozens of times and wore out a few of there albums! Great interview!!!
wow
The Humility and Artistry This man has demonstrated all these years is just.😊
Good story
OMG! I'm so jealous. YES is my favorite band. I've seen them multiple times and I can't imagine what it would be like to be on stage with them during a sound check or even having a chance to meet them.
Somehow, I would believe these guys would have been that cool. What a great story!
I’m so glad that Jon is still with us and able to talk about his work. We were so young then.
You should interview Trevor Rabin! He wrote "Owner Of A Lonely Heart"! An amazing guitarist and composer!!
Also because Rabin’s new album, Rio, is a songwriting, production & performance tour de force.
I was thinking the same thing. Weird timing I just listened to 90125 and then Rabin’s can’t look away and it sounds so much like mid 80’s Yes.
YES!!!
Yes, a Trevor Rabin interview would be great.
I agree with you. I always feel Trevor Rabin fits in Yes a lot better than Steve Howe. Please don't get it wrong, Steve Howe is a great guitarist but he just doesn't fit in any band.
What a legend Jon Anderson is. I hope I'm that lucid and enthusiastic about life when (and if) I'm nearly 80 years old!
He's looking for his age too
I saw him sing at a Vangelis gig at the Royal Festival Hall in London. He was anonymously seated to my right. Out of the blue he walked on stage and sang with the great Vangelis; an unforgettable evening with two masters...............
I saw Yes in concert 24 years ago, and it was a fantastic show.
I saw them under the ABWH name in 1988 or 89 in NJ.
That whole album, 90125, is one of the great and rare perfect albums in the history of rock. Just a fabulous piece of work from start to finish.
Definitely. Everyone should take at least one listen to it.
I was really impressed how such a legendary band as Yes took up new instruments and techniques from the 80s to do something new.
papwithanhatche- Yes, 90125 was a very good album and in the very early days of yes, I thought that " Fragile " was( is ) a very good album too!
@@Kenneth-ct3rx Also a perfect album. Some bands and artists (The Beatles, Radiohead, U2, Peter Gabriel, etc) are blessed with more than one.
@@papwithanhatchet902 That's absolutely true! With bands( like the ones that you had mentioned) were blessed to have more than just one album!
I love Jon Anderson and especially, early YES!
I remember when he broke out with that song "Swingin" . . . . OH. . . wait . . . That was the "John Anderson" with the "H". . . . . never mind.
lol
Early Yes were so inventive
chuckbouscaren3898- The first Yes album that I had ever bought was the Yes album " Fragile " which was a very excellent album( in my mind )
The Relayer album is my fav, especially the song Soon❤️
@@karinhatzWell? I think that my all time favorite yes album has got to be " Fragile " that album had( has ) a lot of great songs on it like " Heart of the sun rise " and other great songs as well!
I saw Yes "In the Round" tour w/ Rick Wakeman, I was a junior in high school, Yes was huge to us way before Owner of a Lonely Heart, we loved Fragile, Yes Songs, Close to the Edge...those were our favorites, long before the '80s came along.
I saw that lineup in Philly, one of several over the years. Met Steve at a Martin guitar event releasing their Steve Howe model
Those album covers are amazing! Sitting and looking at those while listening to the album when I was a kid in middle school bordered on magical stuff. All the imagery and feeling. All while dying to have a guitar of my own, which eventually did happen. Sigh. Special times.
The Real Yes years....
I saw the In The Round concert in Vancouver, Canada. ❤
I saw that same tour in Miami, FL. The one and only time I was able to see them. And yes...I was a Yes fan from earlier in the 70's and was beyond excited when they came thru with that tour. Still in my Top 5 of live shows. They were fantastic.
Great segment! Jon is a personal idol of mine since the 70's. The thing about YES is; every incarnation of the band was magical. Never did they put out a bad production, and never once in the 6 dozen times i've seen them, did they put on anything less than an impeccable show!
please thank trevor horn on our behalf for his kindness and dedication😀
Must not have listened closely to the _Union_ album, among others...
I have been a fan since 1972 and I could not agree more. Never saw a bad concert and every album was more than acceptable, even after Jon left. He is still putting out lots of music and concerts and I go to every tour, even at 64 years of age. I figure if he can sing I can sit in the audience. He is doing the hard work. Always have been my favorite band and Jon has always been my favorite lead singer.
His Christmas album, “Three Ships” has always been one of my favorites.
Jon Anderson is certainly one of popular music’s great artists.
'It can happen' is my favorite song off 90210.
'Does It Really Happen?' (off previous Yes album 'Drama') is even better.
That is a great song. The album although a huge departure from classic Yes in many ways was nevertheless great. I also loved Changes.
Changes is incredible
90210 was a ditzy show about Hollywood drama, but 90125 goes pretty well with that 😂
It’s called 90125
So great.
Neither of my parents are musicians, but at 7 years old (‘94) I was so obsessed with ‘I’ll find my way home’ that they bought me this little casio keyboard. Sitting down and figuring out that song by ear is where the doors to music opened for me. Possibilities: endless.
They brought the box of vinyls down from the attic, which held ‘The Friends of Mr. Cairo’ (along with gems like ‘The Last Waltz’, ‘Band on the Run’, ‘War of the Worlds’, heck… even the single of ‘Paranoid’).
Life has never been the same. So, Jon Anderson is pretty much where music started for me… Thank you 🙏
Yeah, sitting on your own when you're very young with a musical instrument and experimenting with it is the best way to become an original musician (if that's what you want to be)
@@timflippance3040 It is. And that approach - to me at least - has never gone away: hearing something you resonate with - for some reason or the other - wanting to know how it works, why it works that way, and putting into your model of the musical universe. Seeing how you can create something that has the potential to resonate with others.
Music is so good to have in your life.
"Owner of a Lonely Heart" is one of the best rock tracks I've ever heard...the crazy guitar sounds solo...the building tension....
Yes. The riff, the solo, all the guitaring on it made it outstanding.
Of course the structure of the song itself was a heavy skeleton too.
In effect it was Trevor Rabin that made me buy and get into Yes. I still think that whole album isn't dated, it's one that will always be one of the record history classics. So much cleverness going on there.
leave it blows it away. a masterpiece
Hard to call it rock imo. More like pop.
@@Quarrymen69 Well at least it rocks heavier than Bon Jovi 🙂 I used to call these pop rock, just like there is pop metal or pop punk.
If you’re talking this era, from the album 90215 you have to listen to Hearts.
It’s so sad Jon couldn’t get back with Yes again before Chris died, and now Alan is gone too. I was lucky I saw the last “Real Yes” tour with Chris, Jon, Alan, Steve, and Rick. Even better, Dream Theater opened and played Machine Messiah because Jon won’t sing that song. Amazing night.
We saw that same tour. Likewise
Jon's problem... and the Machine Messiah tune says it all, a grown man cry baby... interesting isn't it that Chris stayed with Steve till the end, says it all.
I saw the "real Yes" 15 times from 74 through the end of the Tormato tour, that ended "real Yes" ..Jon was an amazing musician, songwriter and vocalist during that golden run...
But the best tour was "Relayer" they were incredible and Wakeman was nowhere to be found...sometimes things go south amongst super groups and they did with Yes.
Drama is an amazing record, Jon still has his knickers in a twist about it lol.
And the Rabin "POP YES" don't care for it.
Relayer Tour was my first blessing of YES. I saw Squire and White 35 more times till shortly before Chris passed.
I wonder what a collaboration between Jon and Dream Theater would sound like a short single. You know tiny song like A change of seasons ... Hehe
(Seriously, I'd love to hear what their combined powers would create)
Drama was a good album, even without Jon, Tempus Fugit is one of their best songs, period.
Rick is so star struck - it's so great to watch.
Great song, crisp clean guitar tones. It broke into that arpeggio picked "interlude." So good. Great vocals. It was a hit.
Got to see the entire band (Steve and Trevor both on guitar) back in the early 90s at a nice winery out here in Washington in quad. And the opening act was Alan Parson's Project. Yep, it was a GLORIOUS concert.
During the 90125 tour YES came to Edmonton Alberta to film their MTV concert for tv and video. They played Friday and Saturday nights to complete the footage for the video. One ticket got you in both nights! I can still see some friends in the front row in the concert video! It was an amazing show! Love YES!
I was blessed to experience Yes 90125 live in June, 1984 (Hamburg, Germany) - just amazing !
Every time you hear this song, you get goosebumps on the first guitar chord. Doesn’t matter where you are, or what you’re doing, it just hits. Incredible song, with an awesome message. Sometimes I sing lead in my car, sometimes I’m singing the backup parts.
I live for the guitar "break" that happens around 3/4 through the song. It's such a beautiful and clean tone and when the bass comes in behind it.... woah! ❤🎸🎼🎶🎼
Trevor Horn was amazing on this album as he would be several years later for Seal. Trevor Rabin’s creative guitar playing made me into a Yes fan with this song and “Love Will Find A Way”
If you like Pop Yes
@@autkMany people like Pop Yes.
@@elizabethmcleod246 And many dont care for it..
Pop Yes is an Oxymoron
@@autk I’m 67 and I’ve loved Yes since the early 70’s. Sometimes dynamics change in a band that are beyond a fans control.
I'm a big fan of Trevor's and find his effortless natural ability on guitar jaw-dropping. But "creative" he ain't, I'm afraid....
I am so thankful for Rick interviewing the great musicians of the past 50 years - these videos are a chronicle of music history and are a treasure for future generations of musicians...
Agree!
Always fun to hear from Jon!
(Rick, you gotta get McCartney on. I know he's been interviewed a million times. But I know you would give it a different angle.)
Before that song I had heard lots of Yes songs but I didn’t really know their name. I still have my cassettes of “90125” and “Big Generator.”
I use a bunch of the tracks from both those albums as my running music.
Pop Yes
@@autkAnd?
Yes was my first concert
MSG Aug 1977. I was 13 turning 14 a week later. Feels like yesterday
great first show
must of been quite the welcome to the world!!!!
I think that it was ‘77 or ‘78. I was playing guitar and singing soft rock and folk covers with a singing bassist in the lounge of the Marriott Hotel in Springfield, MA. Yes was performing at the Springfield Civic Center ice hockey arena. We were both die hard Yes fans, and while glad to be working, disappointed that we couldn’t get to the show. During our last set, most of the band showed up at the hotel lounge. Chris Squire sent a couple of drinks up to us. We went on break and he invited us up to the 16th floor where the band was staying with the directive to “bring my guitar”. I spent well over an hour hanging out and jamming with him. Sweetheart of a guy! Not something that I will ever forget. RIP Chris.
I met Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman by chance twenty years ago at the Sheraton in Universal City. I was going up to my room and they walked right into the elevator. I was inches from losing my mind. I didn’t need to spend $200 dollars for the meet and greet pass. So as it turns out the night got more fortuitous as Steve Vai attended the show at the Gibson theater to watch Dream Theater and YES and my friends and I all got signatures! Aaaahh!
Great to see Jon still bright and active!!
Always for me, the greatest Rock band ever. Chris Squire was a GOD to me.
Roundabout is as god as a bass line can get
Steve Howe was as well, first guitarist in the gallery of the greats in guitar player magazine...he was untouchable between 71-90...Steve and Chris together was magical.
Yes, was the first real concert I went to see as a kid. It was at the Oakland Coliseum in the round. That set it for me. Followed Yes through the decades. I happened to score some first row tickets when Yes played the San Jose Civic. This is where Chris at the end of one of his massive bass licks, turned his bass face up, and blessed the top of my head with a gentle tap...
I was working for a national radio consultant and we inaugurated a new pair of Vandersteen speakers with this song. Cranked all the way up ... people were listening to it from far and near. It was magical. Transformative. A fabulous album!
90125 still sounds absolutely fantastic, and I've seen Yes & Jon Anderson well over 25 times and it's never not fun to hear "Owner" live
Owner of a Lonely Heart is one of the greatest pop songs ever written. It's perfect.
Great singer. Great band. Absolutely amazing.
I unfortunately never had the opportunity to see Yes but the band and both Bruford and White had a huge influence on me. They were a gateway to other bands like Gentle Giant and King Crimson and so many others that really weren’t a part of rock radio in the south.
Always will have a fondness for all incarnations of that band.
I like Jon in an interview. He's usually in an up or happy mood in interviews that I have seen.
Yes, like a magical elf.
90125 was in everyone’s tape deck.
The whole album is really good, and it was mastered so well that it makes you turn it up!
04:03 Rick's face 😆
Like a kid in a sweetie shop.
Nobody could blame him for that, it's Jon Anderson
I was so lucky being able to see Yes back in the early 1970’s when Fragile was released. I was lucky to have lived in the Tampa Bay Area in the 60’s trough74 and saw so many great bands,and Yes were one of my favorite bands to see on stage.
The best concert ever I saw Rush & Yes together Wow! Awesome bands
Holy crap. How much was that tix back in the day?
Bro' I saw Kansas open for Yes in 75' in Indy!
that never happened
Idk. That was in the late 70’s early 80’s. But it wasn’t much more than 15- 20 bucks for the tickets
@@framundajohnson2186 what never happened?
"Owner" was Trevor's song. Yes came by and bought the song , changed some lyrics and added Jon's vocals. I have in my possession of a mix Trevor Rabin's original song "Owner of a Lonely Heart" (from Soundcastle in LA) that originally had more of an R&B vibe. It was essentially a Trevor Rabin song with Trevor Horn producing in South Africa back then, as Rabin was starting to carve out his solo album release. You should interview Trevor about it. Jon had little to do with the song's creation.
I produced concerts in Denver back in the 80's. I was really jacked when I got to help produce the Yes concert for that tour with Owner of a Lonely Heart. Of course, it was in the round, with the rotating stage and the musicianship of this band is tough to match. Excellent musicians, excellent showmen. This was one of those concerts that you never forget.
Saw the Union tour at McNichol's Arena. Just 3+ hours of YES. It was magical. Music heaven. So, if that was still you, thank you!!!
Thank you, Jon! Your singing still make my day…❤
This is one of the many biggest and best songs, I have ever heard... I listen to it every day in my playlists.
When I listen to Jon, I get anxious the music will stop. I will listen to every album at once.
35 year tour was unforgetable. In my top 5 show list for sure and I have seen many. Thank you Jon!
Absolutely fantastic tour!! The MSG show was bananas, especially And You and I! Best to you, Justin~
Thank you brother! Goodness to you. I saw the lads in Toronto. How about you?
@@belalugrisi1614
@@justincoleman2740 New York City! Madison Square Garden. They held the record for sold out nights there at one point in the seventies. They got quite the standing O after the final solo section of AY&I! Cheers!
Saw Yes in 2004 in Raleigh during their 35 year tour. Freaking amazing concert!
Cheers! We were fortunate.@@belalugrisi1614
Never thought of Yes as a band that had any need of "hits".
I agree, however it was because of radio playing their music that I discovered the band in 72. So if there's a way to get the radio to play their music and more people could find it I'm all for that. The thing I've discovered is many people know their music but they don't know the name of the band.
They didn't..
Roundabout was an anomaly...they did it their way, too bad pettiness caused so many iterations.
The glory years were the best and saw that 15 times...and numerous others of reforming, including Asia and GTR and ABWH ...but the original run through Tormato tour was the zenith....
Never cared for POP YES and the Trevor years...an experiment that obviously had a short run for obvious reasons
Agree. I listen to "pop Yes" every once in a while but much prefer the previous output. @@autk
@@Boblobblaw88 well said, a band I was in for years played "Owner" we didn't care for it, we also played Close to the Edge, Long Distance Runaround, Heart of the Sunrise, And You and I and Yours is no Disgrace...that's why...we did play "Our Song" because it was the most challenging off of 90125, but "Rabin's Yes" did not live, I wasn't surprised. Chris and Steve and Alan were who the keyboard, bassist and drummer and myself were devotees of...I guess it still shows.
@@autkrabin is great.
Yes is everywhere in this age! This guy is probably the best vocal singer ever
Please interview Trevor Rabin. He had an interview with a much smaller TH-camr and classical composer. He is so interesting, but humble and so nice.
It would be interesting to hear from Jon about his collaboration with Vangelis. “I Hear You Now”” what a beautiful song and a big UK hit and part of a great body of work.
The track is also a testament to the producing genius of Trevor Horn. It still sounds fresh, a lot of Trevor's tracks from the 80s have a timeless sound.
Agreed. You might as well call this the Yes/Art Of Noise album because Horn had the gang working on this. Yes would never had the success with this release had it not been for him.
One of my favourite singles of the 80s, such incredible production, from those classic "Orch5" Fairlight stabs to that wonderful pre-delay on the reverb.
1984 90125 Tour with the laser light show was quite memorable. A stoner's delight.
Saw them in Edmonton 78/79 they played Northlands coliseum for over 2 hours on a revolving stage with no back up band, I will never forget it, it was epic
It WAS epic.
I think they filmed those shows, no?
@@glengamble526 I’m not sure but I know within a couple weeks before or after that show I saw Jethro Tull also
@@glengamble526They filmed 2 shows, September 28 & 29, 1984 for 9012Live.
Tormato tour 79.
Was able to meet Jon back in the 90s and give him a demo tape of the progressive rock project I was working on. Incredibly and unbelievably he called me back, but I wasn’t home so he left a message on my “answering machine“ remember those😂?? I still have the tape somewhere…
Rick’s face shows childlike amazement..so fun
I was literally listening to this song yesterday, observed and analyzed the unique production values... Sweet serendipity!
In May 2022, my band played “Owner Of A Lonely Heart” with Mr. Anderson at a Napa Valley Winery. Naturally, we were thrilled, and grateful to Mr. Anderson for trusting us. He left the winery before we could thank him; so I want to say big THANK YOU to Jon Anderson, for the experience.
Wow! You got Jon Anderson on? That's massive!
I've heard people say that this was their sellout album but it's my personal favorite. I love almost every song on it.
Saw Yes first on their Close to the Edge tour. Never could stand anything they did after Going for the One especially this song. To each his own
After the Tormato tour the Real Yes ended, The Trevor...POP YES years were an abomination to purists
I attended 90125 tour in Montreal in 1985: I knew of Rabin having his LPs, where he played all tracks, and prior his Rabbit band. He remains one of my greatest songwriting influences next to Brooker/Reid of Procol Harum.
Yes "90125" is one of my favorite albums of the 80's.
Great to see you chatting again with the great Jon Anderson. Yes, sometimes Jon has memory glitches or odd enhancements but so would I if I had experienced an incredibly varied life and been around so many people as Jon has. As it is I haven't had such a life and sometimes I can barely remember where I live.
One of the most beautiful voices of all time on pop music
Excellent interview Rick YES music is timeless . Jon's voice is unforgettable.
All those many years ago. Meeting Jon and Chris in Lincoln Ne at Pershing auditorium (long since torn down). Seeing Chris Squires’ road case of Rick Basses and getting to chat a bit. They were so great!
Was working at the Atlanta Video Music Channel when 90125 came out and we had a kid call in and request"Donor of A Lonely Heart." 😂😂😂
The first time I saw Yes, they were the opening act for Zeppelin at Yale Bowl in New Haven
Loved the interview. Anderson and Yes was my first entry into knowing that music, rock music could be something completely different.
I love the 90125 incarnation of Yes! Jon Anderson is a fantastic Vocalist & Trevor Rabin was like a breath of fresh air to Yes, though I still love the pre 90125 Yes as well. I saw them on the 90125 tour in Louisville KY, & the opening act was a Bugs Bunny Cartoon. One of my top ten concerts of all time.
The old Yes songs are fantastic! My fav prog band in the 70s! Have you heard Jon telling how he met Vangelis? It’s so funny!
The only concert I ever had 1st row was Yes tour, Going For The One , it was a round slow rotating stage , so every member was right in front of me slowly turning - I swear I made eye contact with every one of them , maybe not Alan, in the middle on a riser . Also saw Yes years earlier at Mississippi River Festival in Edwardsville , Ill on SIU campus. General admission lawn seating. What a privilege for me and any others . Thank you to all members of Yes , over all the years & albums for all the artful , progressive music .
Please, please - make a vid about the AMAZING "Big Generator", another masterpiece.
The great music and those incredible Roger Dean album covers. YES!
"Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart (Live At The Apollo) " on TH-cam. Trevor's strat looks awesome and he plays it well.
Things are still OK in the world when I can watch a brand new interview with Jon who I first saw In the Round back in "78. Remember he almost died in 2007!
Jon Anderson is not only an amazing singer and song writer, but he’s is an amazing, genuine soul who’s spirituality shines through every song, spoken word and action. An all around beautiful person ✌🏼💕
In 1999 I was at a conference for work in LA and the sponsor took a bunch of us to House of Blues for dinner. We pulled up and on the marquis it said "Tonight Only - Yes". I was like "no way!" I had been a Yes fan for years since I was a kid. The bad news was this company had only booked the upstairs dining room and we did not have tickets to the stage area...but there were two doorways that overlooked the stage. So I spent the entire dinner standing in the doorway watching the concert. Finally one of the bouncers felt bad for me and let me come onto the balcony. It was awesome!
I saw Yes in the 1980s I think they called it The Reunion Tour. All the original members and new members from 90125. They booked the Portland Memorial Coliseum, which I think was a 10,000 + seat arena. The show was 1/2 full and people scattered all over. It was in the round with a rotating stage. Every one just moved in close and filled the seats around the stage. It felt very intimate everyone had a "good seat". I think it was the first time I saw moving lights at a show. A few years later I had the drum department of a music store and we had a clinic, with Alan White on one end and Jerry Brown on the other. I was mostly interested in Jazz so hung out with Jerry Brown. Alan was very nice, but didn't have a chance to talk much.
This might be my favorite song from that period. Jon's vocals are peerless.
Got to see Jon sing with Paul Green Rock Academy at the intimate Bearsville Theater in Woodstock several years back!
90125 is one of my favourite albums of all times. When Owner of a lonely Heart first came out, I thought it was by the Police. As a 16 year old kid, I had never heard of Yes before.
TFTO is still one of the best gigs I have attended. It was the first time I heard Close to the Edge live.
Jon Anderson YES 90125, Big Generator, Legend Soundtrack Huge Fan
One of my favorite songs
What a fantastic album. One of my all time favs.
Great record. I always liked it. A lot of my friends didn't.
I'm in the didn't crowd for "POP YES"
@@autkWe know. V
OOALH is a song that is so well produced that is sounds modern as if it was recorded yesterday.
Changes Was My Favorite Track From That Record...It Had A Rather More Prog Sound To It...Prog Meets New... Especially The Intro...
i loved that album. I was 13 when it came out and I bought it the next day after seeing the video.
Didn't know about Rick Beato 2. Subscribed!
Not sure if many folks knew but Trevor was going after the feel of The Police's Every Breath You Take. The arpeggios and the drum sound were a homage to it.
That makes sense now you mention it.
@@Digginbehindthedikes I always heard it even when it first came out and it was a trip to have it revealed by Trevor years later.
I love Changes and Holy Lamb on that record. Terrific music.
I don't think I've ever seen Rick looking more awestruck/mesmorised/happy Cooool
Such a unique vocalist, a wonderful voice and so distinctive you can never mistake Anderson for anyone else.
Rabin was like the shock to Yes’ system they desperately needed…. Brilliant musician
Well said…
