Steve Howe and Trevor are 2 very different musicians. Steve is old school and played a Les Paul (at he was when I seen him in '78 with the round stage) and Trevor plays a Stratocaster. These are like comparing a Harley (Les Paul) to a Honda (Stratocaster). If the Trevor haters can't appreciate his contribution to Yes (even though it was very commercial) he continued where Steve left off. I think most of his music rocks and I like it as only a "TRUE" Yes fan could.
T. Rabin does not do a better job on The Wurm than Steve Howe. No Way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe from 1997 to 2010 the Howe Starship Trooper /Wurm are not at good as the Rabin era. But the 1973 - 1979 Starship Troopers are 1,000,000,000 light years better than the Rabin era. Also I was at this show. 2 nights in Tampa, then this show. 3 nights in a row.
After seeing this group 9 times since 1978. Steve Howe is a much better guitarist from a complexity standpoint, but T. Rabin does a better job on The Wurm.
It would be nice if Trevor even remotely played the right inversion of the chords here. I suggest he at least should have went to Guitar Center and bought sheet music as he ain't even close. Yuuch !!
I wonder if all you Trevor-haters were big fans of what Steve Howe was doing in the 80s ..... c'mon, 90125 and Big Generator were WAY better records than anything Asia ever put out (although GTR wasn't bad) Don't get me wrong, I love Steve Howe's playing, too. But Trevor Rabin is an amazing all-around musician, who not only resurrected Yes, but also led a generation of younger fans to discover classic Yes. He just had a different playing style, which the old Yes purists still can't handle
I agree. I followed Yes since 1977 and have been playing guitar non-stop since a kid back in 1969. I accepted all YES line-ups. Rabin or Howe... both represented the cutting edge.
@Jimzing1 Oops! I can't type! I meant to give you a major thumbs up..pay no attention to the thumbs down my incoherent post Thanksgiving hand typed..I adore Trevor and I agree that he saved Yes & brought them into a whole new level of creativity, artistry, excitement. His amazing songwriting, singing, guitar playing, production, arranging, orchestration from the early 80's to 1995 brought Yes back to life and even greater artistic heights.
check out Anderson, he comes walking over towards Trevor gesturing with his hands!!!! Did Trevor play a riff from Disillusion part of Starship Trooper rather than the start of Wurm???? lol...how funny
Um.... No. Anderson simply had nothing to do on-stage for about 15 minutes... same as he always did for 30 previous years. At least Squire couold still move .
And while a 9 odd minute version of Wurm may seem awesome, this is just repetitive. Too much focus on drums, and the keys are just repetitive (though the solo was great).
One of the weirdest versions of wurm I've ever heard.
Wakeman and Howe are still the undisputed masters of this tune (Check out Yessongs, and not the low quality versions on youtube). These 2 guys, while not bad, just don't get this song.

I wondered why I lost interest in Yes after the 70's, now I know.
Apart from that, who is the the gayest Chris or Jon?

I simply agree. Rabin was a perfect journeyman and brought legions into the realm of Prog Rock. Thank you Sir Howe... Thank you Mr. Rabin.

@Jimzing1 I don't hate either of them, I like them both, but Steve Howe, in my opinion, will always be the best.

I beg to differ about Tony. That organ B rocking! Steve Howe should be missed. Wurm is his song.

Tony Kaye had the right sound for the album version of Wurm, but here, post-Wakeman -- he looks woefully inadequate in his live performance.
