I always thought that was a 1965.

A few years ago, I took on the role of " Chris Squire " in a " YES " tribute band called " All Good People ". It was some of the funnest music I've ever played. We did pretty much everything from Close To The Edge and earlier. One of the songs we covered was And You And...

Bass: Me
Keyboards: Rick Wakeman
Drums: Neil Peart
Guitar: Joe Satriani
Guitar: Trevor Rabin
Vocals: Geoff Tate

For bass, I would have to say that Chris Squire and Geddy Lee were the two people who made me want to play the bass.

I'm also a keyboardist and there my biggest influences are Rick Wakeman and Vangelis.

I hope they do another live album off of this tour.

I got my Midnight Blue 4003 for $1150.00 brand new.

Of course that was in 2002.

I had a chance to buy a brand new CS in 1992. I had the money in my hand, but I needed to replace two of my keyboards that were stolen the day of a show. I still kick myself every time I think of how I should have bought the bass instead. :( I currently have two Rickenbacker 4003's, (one Midnight Bl...

At first, I was a little apprehensive about the new album, seeing that Trevor Horn was producing it. I have to admit that although I am a HUGE fan of Yes, "Drama" was not one of my favorite albums. But when I heard the "Fly From Here" album, I almost fell over! What an incredible...
