Is Billy Sherwood onstage on six-string? I recognize Jon D with the tambourine. If anyone criticizes Mr Squire's voice, please don't forget his voice on thisendition was recorded some 35 years after he first released these songs on his solo album Fish Out of Water, when his voice could easily hit higher notes. On backing vocals of Yes, he also could hit lower vocal registers.
This man has always been a big inspiration to me. I remember learning all of his bass lines as a kid, and trying to sing his vocal parts simultaneously. Not easy stuff to play, let alone sing. Always really beautiful melodies and harmonic ideas coming from him throughout Yes' entire catalogue. Fish Out of Water is a funky, classical Brit pop masterpiece. I hope he lives a long long life.
Also, he's playing this in a different key… that is something I've never seen him do with a Yes tune or one of his own. He hasn't played this live for years at this point most likely and then to change keys makes it even harder. I've played along side him for 1 song at a Rock and Roll fantasy camp and he was amazing even playing something simple!
Anyway, when you've all finished bickering, can anyone tell me why Chris Squire made a very good solo album in 1975 (3 of the 5 tracks truly excellent) and never followed it up with another? Has anyone met him and heard or read him explaining this?
Wow, Chris is still the man. I don't know what people are complaining about, can any of you play this AND sing at the same time? When you are in your 60's!?
This is so great!! There are many bass players that can play circles around Squire and Lee for that matter but these guys are so far ahead of that because they are song writers not riff writers. The music always comes first and Squire was such a pioneer. I absolutely love him.
Nobody will ever play like Chris Squire. His unique sound will always carry on through all the greatest Yes songs and his solo work.
Penso veramente a lui e spero vivamente che va a ritrovare la salute…

Time castigates!
sorry but he should stick to bass playing. Jon D needed to do the singing.
