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.
We've never been to Israel. I'd like to play in Israel.
albums appeals guess music originally
I guess the idea of doing albums in their entirety, in sequence, appeals to people. I guess it's the memory of being able to hear the music in the way it was originally presented.
anderson business jon music replace
You can't ever really replace Jon Anderson because he's been such a force in the music business.
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.
six
I thought, 'Wow, if we could have a career that was five or six years long, that would be fantastic.' And, of course, never even thinking it would still be something I'd be doing in 45 years.
accustomed
I guess I've become very accustomed to playing in the 7/4, which is something we've done quite a lot.
paul
Of course, Paul McCartney's sound is different from mine, but it's the way you hear things, really.
works yes
The way Yes works is when we have a new member come in, as in Jon Davison, it's appropriate that we see what differences we can get out of a new contributing member in order to keep Yes interesting.
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.
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.
former member object
I wouldn't object to working with any former member of Yes, really.
