I said it before And I will likely get hated here for saying it Yes should of done in album in 2002 with tom brislin the guy is a great song writer put him wtih Squire White Anderson and Howe and you would of gotten a classic.

@N0rmad Jon Anderson is from Accrington in Lancashire which is north of Manchester in the north west of England. However, his accent now is only very vaguely northern. You would have to hear a native speaker and then compare it with Anderson's accent to pick out the roots of his now curious mid-atlantic accent.
@sickprogfunk the notes are in order of scale: F, B and E. As a chord, there are different ways to look at it. It could be an Fmaj7-5 (one way of thinking of it, though it omits the third.) Johnny
He still sounds like the voice of YES. what a band. Beyond rock and roll. Into the rarefied air of classical music. I'd dare say they are more profound than any music composed since 1950.
But they still are asked questions like how did you name the band. Duh. And how come the songs are so long. Did they ask Picasso - hey Picky, why d'ya paint such weird figures? Love that question about the gates of delirum. Hey - house it go? Dah Dah dah dah dah dum daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
This was also during the Symphonic Tour, which I saw in Amsterdam, which was really great. Love to see these two together so eloquently expressing what Yes means!
Yesterday in evening i was listening to Tales from Topographic Oceans and this morning this video came in like a response to that. isn't a magic? YES is a magic. without JON, his voice, his themes and his light they would be just an ordinary prog band.
I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall during that late night candle-lit session when Jon & Steve laid down the basic framework of this record...
Well, I have always wanted to hear for sure what their philosophy is behind the band. It is very hard for non-native speakers at times, and Jon and Steve were patient. I think part of the problem is the distance that this very young interviewer has from the original culture and mind set in which Yes' type of music found its genesis.
How was he struggling? I think your ears are struggling to function correctly. He had nearly perfect pitch the entire song, and besides its not about that anyway its about the passion and emotion behind what hes singing.
Ye know someone said the questions were bad, I thought it refreshing to hear a different perspective other than money and fame. Thanks for uploading!

Why they didn't make Tom Brisin an official Yes member is beyond me. Strange band, too many lawyers around them.
