If I'm not mistaken, that's Jimmy Haun on guitar, of the "Yes - Union" days when guest performers were put on the CD through producer Jonathan Elias' methods... Rick Wakeman is on record as to his feelings on this matter, but the Circa tracks sound okay to me. I like Billy Sherwood and his work with Chris Squire, I believe that he is the bassist in this project. Maybe interesting things to come ?

Unless he is totally unhappy with his tone and style of some 40 years,,,that is not Chris Squire.

Then again, maybe I missread your post. Perhaps you meant Billy Sherwood was the bassist?

Billy Sherwood is the bassist for Circa. He played guitar for Squire and Yes on the Conspiracy CD as well as Union through The Ladder. I like his work, so his involvement this time as a bassist may prove interesting. As for Chris Squire, I'm anxiously awaiting the release of Fish out of Water II, scheduled for later this year. And I hope these guys all continue to meet and record music in all various combinations. So, what are Steve Howe & Trevor Rabin up to these days?

Steve Howe is getting ready to start the "ASIA" reunion tour. Last I knew, Trevor is staying busy doing film scores. All of the YES members and friends through the years are still playing and love what they do. That is what it's all about!

Yep! Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman both did solo shows here in Pittsburgh last year. Squire was supposed to be here with Syn the year before that but it was cancelled. I knew Rabin was doing film scores, haven't kept up with him after he split Yes but imagine he is in demand. I keep listening to "Time is time", last track on Magnification and trying to determine if they were telling us something. I do hope the classic lineup comes back.

BTW, Chuck, welcome to the forum!

Hey Jim,

I know I asked this question before, but I'm in a HEAVY YES mode, again and I want to get this DVD....which DVD is this on again?

Thanks!

Tony

Hi Tony,

You really need to pick that one up. I know you love the wild stuff like Tales and Relayer (as do I!) and they hit a lot of that stuff with full orchestra. In fact, Close to the Edge, Ritual and Gates of Delirium are performed full length, all with a conductor beating time, and Squire's performance on bass and timpani is awesome. A must have for the Yes / Squire fan.

Hahaha, the greatest thing was seeing "Snakes on a Plane", and one of the very first things in the movie is the credit "Music by Trevor Rabin".

That video is the best example of the thinness of Chris's bass after the shaving. Oh, and he plays pretty good there, too. Image
