If you haven't seen it already, check out the Yes Years documentary. BTW, I think Chris Squire has the best live bass sound I've ever heard. I'm sure the lime green lab coat with purple sequins helps there.

Bruford sat in on some of the sets that made up
Seconds Out, one of my all-time favorite live albums (Chester Thompson played most of the drums on that one). But they were still playing Gabriel's stuff at that time.
I have an Alan White autographed copy of
Magnification. Here is your "six degrees of separation" for you - my wife got it from him when he stopped by her office one day. Seems his son was dating the daughter of one of the nurses on my wife's staff.
Good news on Emerson, Todd. I saw an Isle of Wright (their debut concert) documentary on Discovery or something a few years back where he discussed whatever it was that was wrong with his hand/wrists. He was pretty worried about it. I haven't seen those guys since they split up after their debacle "Love Beach" or whatever the hell it was. I have passed every time two out of three of them have toured. I would sure like to see them again, with the proper "P".
