1. Thanks for posting this for a great drummer! As you said, he will

be missed.




There was news just a few days ago that, because of illness, he would miss the upcoming anniversary tour:

2. Good Post, Hugh!

I think his drumming on Yessongs was terrific.
It created a bigger, edgier feel to the songs, that despite my fandom, was always a criticism of their early studio work.
That album just sound so great because of Alan, & the fact that Howe used Ampeg amps on stage in that era, so the guitar sounds bigger, too.

3. Thank you.

Exactly the song I was thinking of posting.

Got to see Alan White in a drum clinic in the early 90’s and he was so gracious and humorous and simply amazing behind the kit.
