This place hasn't changed at all lol.

This is probably the best remnant of what Yes used to be, even without Steve and Chris. Lee Pomeroy does a fantastic job, check out Heart ot Sunrise at about 51:40:

The RRHOF performance had Steve included when they were inducted during that ^ tour, but they were off mostly because of Steve's performance from what I could tell. It seemed his vocals detracted from Jon's and his playing wasn't quite what it used to be. Trevor held a lot of it together.

I thought the RRHOF performance was great actually. Especially when they did Roundabout.

If they brought back that lineup with Jon, Rick, Steve, Trevor, Alan and Geddy I would be on board in a heartbeat.

It seemed a bit rough around the edges, but yeah it was still really good. Just not as polished as the tour footage.

Yeah that's me too: post-seventies Yes - Big Generator, 90125, Union and the Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe album, which is a Yes album in all but name.

Well this aged poorly, RIP Alan.

Last few clips I've seen of Steve you could tell he was struggling to keep up with his old frantic self.

Recently saw a clip where during a sound check he completely went off on a spot dude who was missing his mark. No yelling, just really demeaning stuff in that snobby British way. Lost a ton of respect for one of my top 5 fiddle heroes that day.

80s Yes. I'm in a big minority in liking the 2nd album by that lineup better than 90210.

Yeah that's an old clip, I saw it years ago, he definitely comes off as a douche but apparently he always had a reputation of being the cranky one of the group.

Jon on the other hand always seems like the chillest guy.
