| Abstract | Yes were on the rock circuit for over 34 years. Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, Chris Squire and Bill Bruford are just some of the star players who helped make the band one of the greatest-ever names in classic rock. Their turbulent story spans the early days of pub and club gigs, international supergroup status in the heyday of rock, and various lineups since. The author, rock critic of Melody Maker magazine, was there for the whole journey, interviewing the changing band members many times over the years. He tells their complex and often hilarious story with the help of interviews with band members. This definitive biography is updated to include the historic return of Rick Wakeman to the classic Yes line up during 2002 and their tour of America. |
