Chris Squire, Rest in Peace

I live near Phoenix, and saw him with Yes twice at the Celebrity Theatre in the last two years, and he was as exciting as ever. I had seen Yes on the east coast a couple of times over the years, and have admired and enjoyed his playng for well over 40 years.
I was hoping to see him again in the future, and along with many of us, I will truly miss him. It comes so soon after the passing of Jack Bruce, my all time favorite.

Will be missed.

Thinking back on the times I attended Yes concerts, he was the animated and "theatrical" for the lack of a better word, on stage. He not only loved music but also performing. I would be truly surprised if we ever see another Yes album. Hear the MoFi and Analog Productions? Time for a remastered box set! Again, a loss that will leave a hole for us fans.

One of the first concerts I worked as an apprentice sound man was with Emerson Lake and Palmer. A new band was listed to the tour and what was referred to back then as the ‘warm up’ act. It was the initial US tour of a band simply called Yes.

My stark remembrance from that evening came from a tall bass player whose guitar sound and performance I fell in love with. I could only describe his unique sound as “Thunder” - Pure Thunder!

and that Cat could hang a harmony too…

Heaven sent and really enjoyed his talents throughout my lifetime.

Listening forever,
