I think that might have been Anderson, not Squire - see post #4 in the thread here: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/dif...y-yes.1219466/
I can't find a single reference of this happening with Squire. Honestly, reading how that incident is described, it doesn't sound like Anderson yelled at the child, but rather was making a plea to those who were responsible for watching the child, which given the environment may have been perfectly reasonable.
To counter that story, I played with a drummer in the mid-80s who went to the same Yes show I had attended in Springfield in 1979. I think he was working at the Civic Center, and at the end of the night, his then wife brought the kids in the car when they picked him up. To give them a little thrill, he took them onto Yes' tour bus as the band were still inside the venue, but while they were there, Anderson showed up. He saw the kids and he loved it, apparently saying, "Oh, you have little ones!" I don't believe Anderson dislikes kids, but they can get on your last nerve sometimes, and depending on the circumstance, I don't think it's unreasonable to ask parents to get them to tone it down a little, or take it elsewhere.
