Agreed, that's a great album. I have a few outtakes from that album that came on a PM compilation. Those songs are good too. His previous band Quiet Sun was pretty interesting.

I loved Quiet Sun-just on the other side of weirdness.
Check out the 801 live albums. The one at Manchester is nice-rough and raw around the edges. They even had to restart a song because the guitar was not coming through on the amp!!

Color me jealous as frick. I'd have given anything to see them back in those days.

Sometimes being old is a good thing-but think of all the music you'll listen to after I'm 6 ft under..

I kinda feel the same way. I had tickets to see them in Denver a few weeks ago but unfortunately I wasn't able to go. But without Wakeman it would be a bit lame anyway.

Actually Yes was quite good-I was on the Steve Howe side of the venue and he is amazing. I saw them around 10 years ago with the "classic" lineup at Cynthia Woods in the Woodlands. I had a first row seat right behind Rick Wakeman-yes I did have an underwear change after the concert :) I got my Rick Wakeman fix in April at the Royal Albert Music Hall when he did Journey for the 40th anniversary. That made up for him not being with Yes in July.
