LINK: Chris Squire On Yes’ Concert Hat Trick


The Yes co-founder/bassist talks with Pollstar about the band’s upcoming tour featuring complete renditions of three of its classic albums.
The tour is sure to be a Yes fan’s dream come true with the band playing 1971’sThe Yes Album, 1972’s Close To The Edge, and 1977’s  Going For The One.
Making the tour even more interesting is the fact that Chris Squire and guitaristSteve Howe are the only members of Yes to have played on all three albums.  As with many long-lived bands, Yes, which was founded by Squire and Jon Andersonin 1968, has seen its share of personnel changes.  Along with Squire and Howe, the band’s current lineup features drummer Alan White who joined shortly after Close To The Edge was released, keyboardist Geoff Downes who first played in the group in 1980 and then rejoined in 2011, and singer Jon Davison who became a Yes-man in 2012.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
