In the latest RWCC Newsletter 2009 Wakeman and Anderson are attacking
Yes, see following -

'I have been getting more than a few people asking me what "we" are
going to be performing at the YES concerts in the UK in November and
am getting some startled responses when I tell them that neither Jon
nor myself are anything to do with the current tour and that we are
both very unhappy that they are advertising the tour as YES and not
even having the courtesy or guts to list the line-up, which is nothing
short of deception.'

Yes is all over now, HSW have jumped into the life rafts Titantic
style as they watch the ship go down, the last of their fans with
it.   What has become of this once untouchable band?

WAKEMAN ANDERSON HOWE WHITE SQUIRE, NEED TO GO TO CANADA AND GET VERY,
VERY, HIGH.  IF THAT DOESN'T HELP THEY MIGHT AS WELL QUIT THEIR JOB.

Also, the bands official site, Yesworld, clearly states who the
current members of the band are AND that Jon is _not_ doing this tour.
Also, many of the European ticket sellers have a link to Yesworld AND
numerous of them list the names of the touring band. I'm not sure what
else Yes could do?

At least one UK venue read out the current line-up if you bought your
ticket over the phone! So, I agree with you that Rick may be
overreacting.

So is Wakeman or Anderson ever going to work with YES again or not?
Have they quit their job?  What ever happened to *You'll see perpetual
change

I know I'm late to this thread, but just adding that I think it is
somewhat bizarre that Rick is complaining, considering he got his son
hired to cover his spot. Yes, he's loyal to Jon, but..... � anyway,
what's the UK tour, an entire 7 dates?

Besides, I thought the "is Rick playing with them?" was the usual tour
question (which I've heard from casual fans), given his revolving door
history and fame. One could say that Rick's limited retirement overall
and full retirement from Yes (unless there are "$pecial date$") hasn't
been well publicized.

I had those records but they got lost in all this mess somewhere. �(I'm
too laidback to do housework)

They wanted to be Steve Howe? �

Howe could they be? �Good thing he
decided to keep his job afterall.
