You actually expect me to remember? ;-)
The number boggles the mind when you throw in the all things YES-related. It's been quite an interesting ride, indeed! This coming from a group/musical entity I thought was pretty much dead when I was "awakened" to these musicians and all their "wonderous" music.
I admit that there was some over-saturation for me with the "YES-west thing and the the ridiculous Union thing came to fruition, and I had to give some of this YES-silliness a rest ( me thinks the over-touring at that time while ringing up some cash, cost them some fans in the interim).
Anyhow, it's been hundreds of smiles over these many years and I've just about enjoyed every incarnation/ musicians and characters. Coming on to this website filled with some very strange ;-), interesting people/YES-fans full of love has made this journey even more truly amazing ( love you, girls and guys :-) )! It's hard to believe the goodship YES is still going (thank you Benoit, Oliver and now the amazing YES-fan Jon Davison) and the possibility to still see each and every brick/ member/former member of this group we call YES.
Go, YES!
Maybe this can be helpfull:
