"Who played tuba on the Yes album "The Ladder?"*


(I looked this up on Wikipedia - I didn't even know there was tuba on The Ladder)

[JKL2000]

Hmm, in looking up the above, I also see that Dave Meegan of Marillion - Marbles fame was one of the many engineers involved in Big Generator. Damn, they had like ten engineers and assistant engineers.

Well, I got the same score as the guy on telly: 10. Questions ranged from ridiculously easy (what was the #1 hit on 90125? which Buggle sang lead vocals in Yes?) to really obscure (who directed "YesSpeak"? what was the name of the boat on the first Cruise to the Edge?) via the moderately difficult (what label released Talk? what album did Bruce Fairburn produce?).

Henry

[Stevie B]

I got 9. Didn't know the name of the first manager...or the name of Chris Squire's house...as well as the two obscure ones mentioned above.

[Luckie]

Question 2 was partly wrong, wasn't it? Right about Dean's debut, wrong about the logo.

[Halmyre]

I was grumbling about that as well.

I could be wrong, but was the first CTTE ship the MSC Divina?

[bondegezou]

MSC Poesia. I nearly remembered that one.

[JKL2000]

MSC Poesia. I nearly remembered that one.

Well, that question barely has anything to do with Yes!

[bondegezou]

I didn't think they were a particularly good set of questions in all.

Poor questions for sure, and add me to the list of complainants about the Roger Dean logo controversy !
