There was a time I was a Yes fanatic in the early 70's. I still have most of their 'albums'. Close to the Edge being my favorite.
Steve Howe is a great guitar player, but damn, he looks like a troll. I think Chris Squire has been their only bass player thru that time. I may be wrong.
I never got to see them, but I remember they had a wicked laser light show at their concerts, which was cutting edge back in the 70's.

Big influence throughout many years, and lineup changes. I love every album they ever released (and own them all), and I can't say that about many bands at all!
As for Changes being the best prog song ever...well, I'd have to disagree although it IS my favorite song from the Rabin-era. My vote for one of the best prog-rock songs would have to go to "And You And I"...it's also the best song to listen to stoned! It just takes you away!
Trevor's a kick ass guitarist. I saw him with Yes on a couple of occassions, and I played that '89 solo album referenced to death. Some very cool tunes on that one. Kind of Yes-ish influences, but pretty different, too. He's also pretty amazing with film composing.
they had the best Concert t-shirts- i saw them in the round in the summer of '78. Ah, good 'ol Madison Square Garden. a small little venue that somehow had bands want to play there.-lol
I did an Anderson, Brukeford Wakeman and Howe show (worked satellite broadcast) in Mountian view cali...Steve was really nice, kinda quite but very polite. I sat outside his dressing room and just listening to him warm up for about 10-15 minutes...Steve is a very verastile player. I had an all access badge and kept going back and forth from backstage to out front throughout the show....I have his autograph somewhere. I had a newfound appreciation of Yes music after hearing him warm up by himself and seeing him perform live...
