'The Yes Album,' of course, was the album that put Yes' name on the worldwide stage.
band hall history huge jfk playing rock roll stadium touring yes
With how huge Yes was, especially in the '70s and '80s, as a touring band and actually playing at the JFK Stadium in Philadelphia to 130,000 people, which is the biggest-paying show ever in rock history, you would think we'd done enough for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
agreed billy covering deliver excellent experience guys job yes
The other guys and myself have agreed that Billy Sherwood will do an excellent job of covering my parts, and the show as a whole will deliver the same Yes experience that our fans have come to expect over the years.
Most popular records are action-packed to the last semi-quaver.
paul
Of course, Paul McCartney's sound is different from mine, but it's the way you hear things, really.
album promoting spent studio
On our studio album 'Fly From Here' in 2011, we spent a year and a half promoting that around the world.
again alan anderson deserves gone jon rick since though time white
Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson have rejoined and gone off again and rejoined, but I've been there the whole time, and even though Alan White is the 'new' drummer, he has been there since 1972, so he also deserves the credit for being around for 20 years.
We've never been to Israel. I'd like to play in Israel.

The fact I've been in every lineup of Yes has been more by default than design.
enjoyable longest music piece
We did do the whole of the live suite from 'Fly From Here,' and that was very enjoyable to do. In fact, that is actually our longest piece of music, I think, that we'd ever done.
exciting freshness member sad sort
Yes's whole career was never really planned in any sort of way. It's always sad when a member leaves, but it's exciting when someone new comes in, and that regenerates the freshness of the band.
came fell people yes
Yes is what I like doing more than anything else. Somewhere along the way, as people came and went, it fell to me to kind of keep it going and oversee the spirit of the enterprise, as it were.
band decide discussion extensive fame gonna hall members membership partly people yes
I think partly the problem with Yes - and I've had this discussion with people from the Hall of Fame in the past - is that it's going to be difficult to decide how many of the members of Yes you're gonna put in it and how many you're not because of the extensive membership of the band through the years.
