apetersvt Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yes inductor Geddy Lee of Rush will be taking the late Chris Squire's place for "Roundabout," according to Anderson, and the group is also contemplating playing "I've Seen All Good People" and "Owner Of A Lonely Heart." Squire, the sole musician to remain with Yes until his death in 2015, will be represented by his widow. "Chris is going to be there in spirit," Anderson says. "He always believed that we should have been in the Hall of Fame 10, 29 years ago. It wasn't high on my agenda; 'It happens when it happens' was my mantra. But we know Chris will be there in spirit, in energy. I loved the guy very much. Without him I wouldn't be here, that's for sure. https://www.yahoo.com/music/well-just-together-fun-yes-singer-jon-anderson-180505967.html 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I never really got into Yes, for whatever reason. But assuming their diehard fans are anything like Rush fans, they're going to be critiquing every note he plays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I remember an interview from 1980 or so where they said they went and saw Yes together while recording Caress of Steel, and they were so demoralized that they almost didn't finish the album afterward. I'm calling my shot now. Somehow that'll make its way into their speech, as some sort of funny excuse as to why it's their worst album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T4E is their worst album actually. With Caress, they had the excuse of being young and going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circular argument time! :) Clockwork is one of their very best albums. ... But I also love Caress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordercollie Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Not happening, per RIAB ...UPDATE: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation sent a statement to Billboard after this story was published denying that Lee would perform at the ceremony. "Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson were only confirmed to do the induction speech for one of their favorite bands and not perform. They, like all the other Yes fans, look forward to honoring them and watching them perform at the induction ceremony on April 7 and the HBO broadcast on April 29."
