EMPIRE PETER BANKS SOMETHING'S COMING Pt. 1 WEST SIDE STORY

[zappatx]

There's a new YES cliop on youtube with Peter - "Time and a Word" The lost videos - Man he looked so young and you could see the excitement in his face.

Thanks for posting this! Why wasn't this included on the Empire Mk. III album? It kicks butt.

Mark III was an ass album full of cheesy pop songs.

Yes, there was an attempt to get signed or die.

Yes lost a tremendous creative force when Banks and Kaye left the band. Banks was the consummate guitarist; chops, taste, attitude & healthy testosterone (and great humour!), while Kaye was a beautiful colorist; both are unique talents, and with their departure Yes suffered a loss from which they never recovered IMO. Great to hear this! Thanks.

VERY cool, Pete Banks always impressed me as aguitarist, and here he gets to stretch out a bit, sounds like he;s been listening to some Holdsworth in spots.
