I have that album. Stay the living hell away from it. I got it as a birthday present and was amazed at how uninspired and boring it was as a whole. Just stick to the original songs.Gonzo wrote:Speaking of Yes: Chris Squire(Bassist of Yes) & Alan White(Drummer of Yes) particiate in a cover of Comfortably Numb on An All Star Tribute To Pink Floyd.

Speaking as a Yes Head
Well folks, I am a Yes Head, as a matter of fact. Despite what any Yes Head says in public, they'd be lying if they didn't admit to the superiority of Pink Floyd through all it's changes; for they have stayed on task while Yes has wandered, often directionlessly.
I remember when Bruford (the drummer) left Yes for King Crimson and then a couple years later reading a review of the King Crimson Album "Red" in Rolling Stone. The writer said something to the effect that while Yes marvelled at the world King Crimson grabbed it by the balls. Ditto for Pink Floyd.
I think it is Pink Floyd's ability to grab balls that has always place them higher up the food chain in most people's opinions.
Many of my favorite songs are by Yes. I made most of the graphics for the Yes WebRing and even have a Yes web page that while nothing like Keith's setup "ain't bad" as we say in Tennessee. But there have been some real low points with Yes as well. If I ever hear "Circus of Heaven" again I'll stick my fingers down my throat and puke, I swear to God.
Yes sir - Take it from a Yes head: it's all about the testes. (Please no jokes about Jon Anderson's voice)

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
