Jon Anderson pic of the day

Yes in the early 1970s, hanging out by a vintage car: Jon Anderson (left), Rick Wakeman (seated, in sunglasses), Chris Squire (on the car), Bill Bruford (front) and Steve Howe (right). The classic lineup. Wakeman joined from the Strawbs in the summer of 1971, replacing Tony Kaye. Within months the band had Fragile in the shops, and "Roundabout" became their breakthrough single in America. Then came Close to the Edge, with its 18-minute title track. Bruford left as soon as it was finished in the summer of 1972 to join King Crimson, so this five-piece lasted only about a year the first time around. Chris Squire played on every Yes studio album until his death on June 27, 2015. Rest easy, Chris. 🎸 This lineup made Fragile and Close to the Edge in about a year. Which one do you reach for first? 🎸
