    Saw them in Ottawa in the early eighties. This lets us know we're not too far behind...

    I was a fan too. Sad news. His style on the bass was so unique, he was able to do really good solo albums after Yes. I just watched a couple fairly recent Yes concerts on-line, a month ago with Chris playing. Good stuff... they sounded great.

    In case you're feeling old and that none of the ones we heard on the radio still "have it"... listen to this... just released... way to go Rod...

    I saw them in '78 in Philadelphia. They were on a rotating stage. They billed it as Yes "In The Round" Great show.

    Might be one of the best examples of Squire's unique bass punch he added to so many good songs... :yes:
