@ThePeterats

erreur du traducteur de merde de M+, il a dit Bill (Bill Bruford), l'autre percussionniste.

Dixit Alan White (à 1min26sec): ...mais Brian et moi nous entendons très bien. Mais qui c'est ce Brian ? Je connais les musiciens de Yes par coeur et il n'y a aucun Brian. SVP est-ce trop demander de faire un reportage qui a un sens messieurs de Musique Plus ? Denis Talbot, la retraite, ça t'tente pas ?En passant, t'étais bin bon dans ton POTEAU-TON. T'aurais dû rester en haut sti. Sacram.........

So one third of the album is extraordinary..the other 2 thirds..not so much because they were indeed rushed. I've hear Trevor's demo & solo versions of "Miracle Of Life" and "Lift Me Up" & they are superior. Always wondered how they might have sounded on an EP of Trevor's, or even for Yes..without the filler. "Union" is actually my favorite album, for the 3 songs of Trevor's which "Lift Me Up" & "Miracle Of Life" are trancendent.

Actually 3 of the songs on "Union" were not rushed. All 3 of Trevor Rabin's songs, "Lift Me Up", "Miracle Of Life", & "Saving My Heart" were originally intended as solo songs, and were brought into what was going to be the 2nd ABWH album that morphed into the nest Yes album with Trevor on it on his 3 songs, (thank goodness!)! The other songs were written with Jon, the band, & Jonathan Elias, & these songs only were rushed with session musicians.

They blew it, rushing Union as they did.

If Union had been a better album Yes would probably to this day still be getting lots of free publicity like this, doing interviews and making headline worthy news where-ever they appear; djs and vjs worldwide would still be talking excited 'gibberish' and (0:35) shaking new cassettes of Yes music with enthusiasm!

Seriously, releasing such an inferior album (hyped it as a 'union') was the worst move of their career.

@matthehat Yep, quite a curious mixture of British and Washington State.... as long as he keeps banging away on the skins I'll be happy- musically he has held up just about the best out of the guys touring as "Yes" at the moment.

Very insightful interview with Alan discussing my favorite Yes tour, "Union" from 1991, and amazing concert footage, especially of Trevor's wonderful musicianship.

et ce journaliste ne connaissait rien de Yes. Musique Plus engageait vraiment n'importe qui !

Et pour ce qui est de Rick Wakeman, il n'était même pas dans l'avion, il est arrivé au Canada par la route.

Reportage de merde , à l'image de Musique Plus finalement .

I was there !
