Going on the road with Yes probably isn’t what you’d call “fun,” but it does have its moments. Don’t expect to tear apart any hotel rooms or ravish any delirious young maidens should you be asked to tour with them, but if you’re the sort who revels in heavy scripture reading and candle burning after a show, these guys are for you.
Maybe that’s a bit of exaggeration, on second thought, ‘cos the first Yesman I encountered during my recent stint with them was Mr. Rick Wakeman,. and he’s nothing like the above categorization. Hell, no!, the sexists among us might even be tempted to call him a REAL MAN, although the differences spawning that assertion are far more comparative than concrete. You see, Wakeman hates health food.
