Location: Northwest Arkansas | I saw Yes when Rick Wakeman had that gigantic tower of keys. In Oklahoma City at the Myriad. I'll never forget it. I had just about as much fun watching the crowd. Like them or not, they are/were very talented musicians. Prayers for the family. |

Location: south east Michigan | Squire was always my #2 right behind Entwistle.
I remember back in '73... I had to take an arts & humanitys course in college. I enjoyed the study of classical music but kicked up a little dust when I brought YESSONGS into class as an example of modern classical music. This was at a time long before "classic" rock became classic.
It was a lively discussion. |

Location: Tennessee | My friends took me to a Yes concert for my 18th birthday. The only thing I remember about the show was puking. I should have had the mushrooms on my pizza instead of on the side.
I think I'll pull out my Yessongs vinyl and relive the experience, and once again living Close To The Edge.
Ah, the memories (or lack thereof).
RIP CS.

Location: Chicago | I first saw Chris on the "Fragile" tour in SF at Winterland. They were sublime (It was before their Spinal Tap phase). Just pure magic. |
