I went to see Symphonic Yes in NYC the weekend before the towers were hit.

I love Classic Yes in general, but my favorite Yes tune (these days) might be "Turn of the Century". Possibly because it's one of the few times I've picked up my guitar to actually begin to work out what's going on. Personally I think the classical guitar should have been the centerpiece in this slightly overworked track. Just bring the faders down on everything else completely and let this happen....

than, say, Tony Kaye (his predecessor)? (nt), posted on January 3, 2021 at 19:11:13

rivervalley817	look up 'Two Sides Of Peter Banks' it has that early Yes flavor; all instrumental Phil Collins drums on it and he's extremely accomplished at stretching out with regards,
