Yes drummer Alan White
Outside of certain musical circles, Alan White may not be the most famous drummer in the world, but he probably should be.
Along with serving as the main drummer for Yes after original drummer Bill Bruford's departure in 1972, White also famously added the signature drumming to John Lennon's "Instant Karma" as well as drumming on another Lennon classic you may know: "Imagine."
Yes is back on the road, featuring shows where the band plays three entire albums: "The Yes Album," “Close to the Edge,” and “Going for the One.” The band will play the MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, Conn. on Friday. (The band will return to the region on July 27 for a performance at Mountain Park in Holyoke). White took a few minutes from his schedule to talk about the current tour and his days playing with Lennon.
On this tour you're doing three complete albums, which seems daunting. How is it working out so far?
We've been looking forward to the gigs each night. It's been a task and there has been a lot of work involved in playing all three albums in their entirety, but everyone seems to be rising to the occasion and the band is playing exceptionally well right now.
