In before the close!
Hmmm, didn't this happen over two years ago? "Trivial" doesn't adequately portray how inconsequential this is... But this is Progressive Ears, after all...
Brian Dennehy: "I'm now 80 and I'm just another actor and that's fine with me. I've had a hell of a ride," ... "I have a nice house. I haven't got a palace, a mansion, but a pretty nice, comfortable home. I've raised a bunch of kids and sent them all to school, and they're all doing well. All the people that are close to me are reasonably healthy and happy. Listen, that's as much as anybody can hope for in life."
the real failure was Steve Howe trying to play the bassline of OOALH. Geddy would have nailed it.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

I thought both Howe and Lee did well playing bass. Geddy was a huge Yes fan so I'm sure it was a blast for him to play. I do think Sherwood should have at least played on Owner and let Howe share guitar duties with Rabin. Rabin could have taken his usual solo and Howe could have taken the solo at the end.

The problem must be that Geddy is the only one hitting the right notes.
But it's good you got it off your chest man.
This thread needs to go in the PE time capsule. :
I saw Squire play that Rick at a small venue with the Benoit David version of Yes. His sound was never so clear to me, and even if Geddy played every note the way Steve would have, at that Yes tribute, the Geddy bass sounded fat. Squire chose Sherman to carry the Yes bass mantle. As for OOALH, I didn’t listen because I hate that song, being as burnt out as Follow You Follow Me. Obviously, Geddy was the choice of the HOF establishment which has shown over and over again, it’s about music money, not music.
Stay on message, must stay on message

If you feel the RnRHoF is all about the money, why would you care what a band being inducted into such an evil institution sounded like during a two song set that nobody who really knows and loves Yes would ever judge them by?
Billy Sherman will not be pleased by this logical phallacy!
P.S. Geddy sounded great.

I knew Hemsley was a prog fan, didn't know he played bass.
<sig out of order>
Sherman. Yeah. OK.
Can this Yes thread make it to 80 pages please?

^ I'd settle for 20, but that's non-negotiable.
I thought Geddy looked and behaved himself humbly when he played. - trying to stay low key and all that. Geddy gets killer "rick" tones out of his Jazz Bass all the time, so much so that in the 80's I bought a Rick because I loved his Limelight tone. only to discover that he played his Jazz on Limelight. It's funny in a sick kind of way, I sold my '72 Jazz to buy the Rick. One of many Stupid, stupid deals I have made over the years.
Geddy was a great choice for Yes in the RRHOF. IMO Yes and Rush both make the RRHOF almost worth visiting one day. I used to drive by it almost every day when I was contracting in Findlay, Ohio for 6 months back in 2003. I never had even a slight interest in paying to go into that cursed place, when most of the bands I loved at the time were purposefully excluded, because one individual a-hole didn't think they were cool enough. It still pisses me off when I think about it.
It is funny that Geddy gives bass players who use a pick such grief, but yet agreed to play for Squire, who was a TOTAL pick guy. Only Geddy could pull off that tone using his finger - he calls it his "noisy Bastaad" - just in case some of you have been living under a rock since beyond the lighted stage was released.
I wonder if we will ever see Geddy playing out again. Wasn't the RRHOF his latest Forray on to the live stage?
I got nothin' :
...avoiding any implication that I have ever entertained a cognizant thought.

You know who played Rick? Jon. But then he went off on a solo tour.
I wonder what Jamie Glaser's opinion is on this topic...
