default design fact yes
The fact I've been in every lineup of Yes has been more by default than design.
enjoyable longest music piece
We did do the whole of the live suite from 'Fly From Here,' and that was very enjoyable to do. In fact, that is actually our longest piece of music, I think, that we'd ever done.
came fell people yes
Yes is what I like doing more than anything else. Somewhere along the way, as people came and went, it fell to me to kind of keep it going and oversee the spirit of the enterprise, as it were.
We've never been to Israel. I'd like to play in Israel.
philly supportive towns
Philly has always been one of our favorite towns to play in, and the fans have been very loyal and very supportive over the years.
exciting freshness member sad sort
Yes's whole career was never really planned in any sort of way. It's always sad when a member leaves, but it's exciting when someone new comes in, and that regenerates the freshness of the band.
vehicle yes
We started Yes as a vehicle to develop everyone's individual styles.
british-musician good pull
Pull the good out of it and not worry about the drawbacks.
design
I've been called the journeyman. It's really more by default than it is by design.
yes
In many ways, I think about the possibility that there could still be a Yes in 100 or 200 years from now, just like a live symphony orchestra.
