The Yes Story

I watched this recently, knowing nearly nothing about them, I was surprised about the frequent rotation of musicians.

Most of it, anyway. Maybe they should have just called the group Drama. I thought calling it Yes took some, uh... courage. Drama was way bolder than 90210 or whatever it is...

Not one of the truly great ones, but not bad.

Having a different singer didn't hurt as much as expected.

When they toured, though, Trevor had to really work to hit Jon's highest notes and, much worse, I got a chance to watch Geoff Downes try to fill in for Wakeman.

That didn't work.

He's back with the band and certainly the weakest member.
