Played side stage for them and Alan Parsons in '98 at Desert Sky Pavilion. Hottest day I can remember in over 30 years in AZ. 118°F and muggy monsoon humidity. Great show, though....Saw them years ago live. What an incredible band!

THIS!! It's a riot!!Wakeman has a single greatest R&R HOF induction speech of all time. Search YouTube.
I cut my teeth on 90125. I think it appealed to me as a budding guitar player due to Trevor Rabin’s performance. It’s more radio-friendly than most of their material. I’d start there.Have tried and tried to be a Yes fan but it just doesn't seem to take. And its not that I'm not a prog fan as I'm heavy into Rush / Early Genesis / Pink Floyd. I think maybe its the higher pitched keyboards and / or Anderson's vocal pitch. I've delved into it a few times listening to the earlier aclaimed albums in full hoping something will click for me and I'll want to come back to it - nope. Suggestions welcomed. (fyi, I've been trying for a while (bought Relayer when originally released in 74-75 something like that))
I looked them up, and have been listening through good headphones and hearing lots of new parts, and especially how much more powerful Squire’s bass sounds are, Howe’s guitars are crystal clear, Wakeman’s synths fly in from the sides and they all sound as if I’m on stage with them. He did an awesome job remixing them! Stunning quality and well worth listening to repeatedly.Steven Wilson's remixes of the early classic albums are worth a listen.
