They had collaborated on an Ayreon album (The Human Equation I think). Had a whirlwind romance and she got cold feet on the wedding day... Big age difference but I think Fish was quite erratic at this point in his life.Ooh, but of prog royalty gossip in that last line there! I’m a big fan of Fish, both solo and in the band beforehand, but never knew that. I’m guessing that happened at some point after Kayleigh and before his current partner!
What a shop. For a few years, all roads led to Yanks. Anyone know when it first opened?
In.Credible playing on this.
The bass (of course), and SH’s ascending guitar lines before the vocals kick in:

Steve's finest moments include the version of America on Yesterday's. He throws everything into that one song.Very nice music. Jon’s vocals a bit iffy though. My three favourite guitarists, Howe, Hackett, Gallagher.
Steve is an amazing talent.

LolAnyone else think we should have a splinter YES thread ?
Ok maybe not.
It was the centrepiece of the LP and the longest track & not a single so I can’t quite believe it was film for that reason. My Yes lore is a bit rusty but I think they recorded in Montreux maybe.Unbelievable Jeff.
Outstanding !! I take it they were rehearsals. Do you know where this is from ?
I’ll do a bit of research on this Mr Bells. Something tells me it’s from a DVD and my haunch tells me it was London.It was the centrepiece of the LP and the longest track & not a single so I can’t quite believe it was film for that reason.

I can’t believe that is the only footage from the sessions but I’ve never been able to discover anything else. A tv documentary at the time perhaps?
My thigh says Paris.my haunch tells me it was London.
I think Paris was after that album Sadders when Alan White had his roller skate accident :-) then Jon and Rick had a sttop and left. Sad timesMy thigh says Paris.
I was prompted to listen to Tormato just now. I like it better than most.It was the centrepiece of the LP and the longest track & not a single so I can’t quite believe it was film for that reason. My Yes lore is a bit rusty but I think they recorded in Montreux maybe.

Agreed. I really like Don’t Kill The Whale too. This version has great ending/ intro to the next track too :-)I was prompted to listen to Tormato just now. I like it better than most.
The only two negatives for me are Circus of Heaven and Rick’s Casio keyboards.
Howe is on fire and the tone on Squires bass is just incredible.

Brilliant stuff pal - and it was a real treat back then too - Saturday afternoons Radio 1 took over the VHF stereo from old doddery Radio 2!A lovely memory from the release of Tormato.
I was in the car with my Dad one Saturday afternoon and I think they used to do an album review on Radio 1 that time.
I was 15 years old at the time. Imagine my excitement when they announce it’s Tormato by Yes and play Future Times , Don’t Kill the Whale and Arriving UFO on Radio One whilst discussing the album.
I think you've got the wrong idea mate.Am I wrong to think there is a difference between symphonic and progressive rock?
YES, imho a typical symphonic rock band (my favourite album Tales From Topographic Oceans), turned progressive with the albums 90125 and Generator - both fantastic as well).
