... They did it on the "Ladder" tour in 2000. A recording is on the "House of Yes" DVD. I have seen Yes 4 times over the last few years, and I must say their ...

Gus, Anderson's voice is certainly one of those amazing, age-defying forces of nature. It's probably because he knows how to sing properly and didn't blow his...

... Well, I wouldn't say I prefer either drummer as far as Yes goes. I think White has proven that he is the better drummer for Yes. But I think Bruford is...
Bill Bruford is my favorite drummer of all time, but my take is that he didn't become GREAT until after he left Yes. He really found his style and tone during...
Ah yes... the long-standing argument about WHO was the best drummer for Yes?! For years... no make that decades... an old friend and I have feuded about who is...

Lots of good points, Peter. But I don't really think the Bruford/White argument really has much merit. BB is one of THE monster drummers of all time (in any...
Just to be clear again, I was not trying to argue who was better. I definitely think Bruford is the more technical in many ways, but White does a great job of...
Guy, You're alluding to a universal truth: Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe was an abomination, pure and simple. That CD was made for skeet-shooting....
I agree almost wholeheartedly with your recommendations... especially... but not exclusively... BRUFORD --Feels Good to Me (One of his BEST efforts ever) ...

Pete, ... if White wouldn't have been there Yes would have split many, many years ago so imho he is much more important than Bruford indeed ... No it's not bad...
Tony, White is a perfectly fine drummer for Yes, but you can't compare him to a journeyman musician like Bruford. White plays drums and writes "a little."...

I can't wait to see and photograph the old Oriental Theater. I love those old movie theaters. In fact, it's a bit of a hobby of mine - www.moviepalaces.net. ...
Actually, Mick Pointer puts them both to shame! :) :) Seriously though, I think they both made major contributions to Yes. As Pete correctly points out, ...
I thought the ABWH was the first real 'Yes' record since Tormato/Drama. I thought the CD had a newer sound at the time with Tony Levin's playing and the...
I agree with this logic. When White joined songs like Heart of The Sunrise were forever played differently. White is a great guy and a heck of rock drummer...

The guy is aging. Give him a break. Drumming is a very physical task and when you pass your mid-fourties you notice that you just dont have the same speed in...
