Saw them in concert in the early 70’s and became a big fan.

When I was a teenager in the 1970s, Yes and Wakeman were at their peaks. Their recordings were highlighted by inventive songwriting with masterful and virtuosic performances.

As a young keyboard player, I was in awe of Wakeman's keyboard rigs which included a grand piano, Hammond B-3 organ, Rhodes electric piano, Moog synthesizers, Arp synthesizers, Hammond Clavinet and a couple of Mellotrons. Maybe there were more! He would be surrounded by all of these instruments. Other keyboardists of the era had similar set-ups: Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Keith Emerson, Chick Corea, Robert Lamm and many others I admired in those formative years.

It's all of those keyboard players' fault that I have way too much musical equipment!

Enjoy your experiences with Yes. You won't be disappointed!

I first heard them in the early 70s and was hooked. Relayer was one of my favourite albums for the longest time. It was so over-the-top, and in hindsight a little bit pompous, but I loved it (still do). One of my favourite song as a teenager was Gates of Delirium. Kind of hard to impress your girlfriend with a 20 minute plus prog rock song about war.

I’ve managed to catch them live 3 times, twice with the original Fragile album lineup. Magical. The last time was last year with a different lineup and it was good but no one can sing like Jon Anderson.

Best bassist ever.

Got to attend a "Yes Union" concert where the original members and later members were all together on stage.
