Hmm , there is not that much to this article but in any case if Chris were around, I am guessing things would have been different either way. Even to the way that ARW would have proceeded.

Pretty ironic of Howe considering how he treated Peter Banks during the Union Tour.

Yes, there are changing beds and bedfellows in the world of our beloved band is there not?

Steve would have changed positions as well when in ABWH vs Yes and ARW. The only one seemingly not in all that was Chris.

Bless him.

Why is there an article about Yes' induction so often? Do people find it that interesting?

ARW wouldn't have proceeded. 🙂

Doesn't Howe deny that it was him until this day?

Anyhow I thought it was a stupid idea to begin with. They weren't performing any Banks era songs on that tour, nor songs Banks had ever performed in his time with Yes. A bit like inviting someone to a class reunion who at some time was a student of the school, but never of that particular class.

Someone is lying, Arno. Rabin, Squire and Banks himself have corroborated the infamous Forum Gig shittiness in LA. Now that I think of it, Tony spoke about this as well.

Regardless of the class reunion analogy, it would have been a kind and graceful gesture given some of the bad blood that got stirred up when Peter was fired.

The two linked pieces seem to suggest that SH was uncomfortable that he was not in control and that having strong characters back in Yes would mean that he wouldn't have everything his own way. I am sure SH would have wanted all the interviews to have been about how great the current Yes line up is, and how everyone agrees that he is the custodian of Yes-ness. Shame for him.

I totally agree that Peter Banks should have been included, but I also don’t think everyone deserves a participation trophy.

Peter Banks was the Rodney Dangerfield Of Yes - no respect. The first to be fired, the first to get forgotten, even the first Yes alumni to die. I urge Yes fans - if they so choose - to give Peter Banks' post Yes music a listen now and again: Flash, solo stuff, Empire. He didn't do a lot of it, he was kinda sporadic, but great guitar playing nonetheless. That Howe sound started with Banks and even Howe has alluded to that. The original guitar sound of Yes. Say 'Yes' to Peter Banks!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵

What? You don’t think Eddie Jobson deserves to come out during a rousing YesO version of OOALH and give us his classic fist pump in recognition of his meaningful service to Yes? Jesus Frum, without Jobson that classic Owner video would not have risen to the heights that it did.

If they were inducting the Classic and YesWest lineups, Casey Young should have been inducted.

The ceremony was a clusterbuck. I knew better than not to go.

But that after party with YESfans and Tom Brislin was an event I was sorry I missed.

There could be an entire book published from Howe’s revisionist views of Yes.
