Actually, there are live versions available where Howe makes the song his own - by adding an extensive solo to the end of it. The song structure itself is quite basic, which is why Howe does not like playing it. I visibly saw him sigh as he went through it during the Union tour.

Random thought - Squire was Nick Beggs' idol - even before he formed Art Nouveau / Kajagoogoo.
I doubt Beggs would ever step into the shoes of his idol. Haven't heard much from Pomeroy..... Sherwood fills Squire's shoes in a roundabout (no pun intended) sort of way. I know Beggs played bass at times for the Genesis revisited stuff - Rutherford's bass isn't exactly easy to play !! |

Lee Pomeroy, excellent bassist, apparenlty one of the most demanded today (along with Nick Beggs). What I know, he played with Wakeman on number of albums and with ELO. I saw him also with reformed It Bites with John Mitchell. |

Yes should change their name to 'The Prog Collective' - I'm certain Billy wouldn't mind

Practically every member of CIRCA: has been in Yes at some time, that was the point of the joke. |

Wasn't the drummer that's worked on CIRCA the one that helped Yes out while Alan was unavailable last year? In any case, if they were to get a drummer from a related band, I wish they had gotten the help of Carl Palmer. |

Apparently Anderson has an equal share to the name but can't use the Dean logo. Guess with Chris dead he saw no need to continue the gentlemen's agreement.

So many days of being together all the time with the same crew and oportunities to know everything about each other, including what gets on the nerves... How could we expect better situations?

Maybe the guys in CIRCA: (past and present) can help them out.

I did listen to Awaken on Youtube, and as you say, I felt Rabin butchered the guitar parts. He is suposed to be trying to play things as he would have recorded them originally, on his own style or whatever, instead of trying to replicate Howe's playing. Either way, Howe is much better. Still, if I get the chance to see either version of Yes live, I would choose ARW. Perhaps Rabin will get lured into his film scores again, and needing a new guitar player, if Anderson and Wakeman still can't resolve their problems with Howe, they I think they should try and get to work with Colin Tench. And if the other Yes were to part ways with Downes, then they should get the guy from Iamthemorning. |

They already had their reunion at the Hall of Fame, and what I have read is that they didn't end up very happy and don't plan to work together again. So, if the Hall of Fame didn't do the trick, I don't expect it to happen again. Still, I so much would love to be able to hear Anderson, Wakeman and Howe together again. |

I can't believe that Union had no less than 13 keyboard players contributing (including Wakeman himself). As if Rick couldn't do it all himself...........

Watch you tube concerts--rabin butchers genius Howe's parts on most songs---and the rearrangement of an amazing song like Awaken is just horrible---although Jon Rick and rhythm section is first rate compared to Howes Yes--- I will probably pass on both versions---a curse on both your houses The band of peace an love should practice what they preach.

By all accounts ARW is a much better band than the other Yes, maybe they'll join up and do "Union 2".
