Up until recently, “Awaken” was at the bottom of my list when I thought of Yes’ so-called epic songs.

Yes’ ‘Fragile’ is undoubtedly a great album, but “Cans and Brahms” reminds us that it could have been even greater with a Rick Wakeman original.

“Roundabout” gave Yes’ reworked lineup an opportunity to shine, as the newly installed Rick Wakeman makes a lasting impression.

Composed for a forgettable documentary on the 1976 Winter Games, Rick Wakeman’s ‘White Rock’ still offers moments of very real discovery.

The second Prog Collective project holds a series of intrigues for fans of Yes, as still more final recordings from the late Peter Banks surface.

Rick Wakeman will make a series of UK appearances in June, beginning on the 15th in Gloucestershire, where the Yes legend will perform an exciting all-new program featuring some of his best known work. You May Also Like: Rick Wakeman and the English Rock Ensemble – ‘The Red Planet’ (2020)Read More

In a strange and beautiful coincidence, Days Between Stations was working on an album about birth, life and death with Peter Banks just before he passed.

We also take a look back at Jon Anderson’s time alongside the late Peter Banks, with whom he co-founded Yes.

As a much talked-about project featuring Yes alums Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick Wakeman continues to percolate, Anderson is hard at work on his next solo album.

Amazon.com Widgets Billy Sherwood, both with Yes and on his recent helming of the Prog Collective, has already established himself as a staunch advocate for the 1970s’ signature rock style. So why shouldn’t he do the same with 1970s jazz? You May Also Like: Jeff Lorber Fusion – Step ItRead More
