It's funny to see that band rehearsals are no different whether you're a multi-million dollar selling legendary band, or a two-bit local garage band. Watching this brought back memories of my old band.

I've listened to Yes since the 70's and appreciated their music. I had no idea that Rick Wakeman had this wicked sense of humor. Its my favorite type of humor- dry, sarcastic, and witty! I like him even more now.

Priceless intimate view into one of my favorite bands. Wakeman makes it so real and enjoyable with his humor. They all contributed equally in their own way.

Chris wacking the mic, and cease playing, after staying up all night, on an already botched live satellite event is one of the funniest things I can think of. Based in the footage, Wakeman is being dead serious about Chris. The vocals on the outro footage are some of the best they ever did on that song.

Chris just seemed over the whole thing . Means to make money , and really how many times can you play these songs over and over. For us the audience, we are in love, we see our heroes, and at a certain point it's nostalgic for your teens when you saw them like in 1980. But for them , man, I would probably be a bit cranky , late and lazy as well. To each his own .

Just what is the status of Jon Anderson and Yes? The way the news was when he was sick was that he'd never be able to sing again and that he was having serious problems at getting a breath. Maybe this was before Jon was replaced. I mean he performed at the RRHofFame. I just haven't been able to make sense of Yes since Big Generator, which was the last album of theirs that I listened to. I own several newer ones but I haven't listened to them yet.

@beaucarr9612 3 жыл бұрын

I saw Jon twice last Summer on his 1000 Hands tour. He was in great voice, and doesn't appear to have lost a step or a note. I think he very much wants to reunite the whole band, but Steve Howe seems deadset against it.
