Chris Squire, bass player and founding member of Yes has died

19. Chris Squire WAS Yes. They never toured as Yes without C.S. - They toured as AWBH

Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford and Howe.

Yes did tour with several vocalists not named Jon Anderson though.

This is very sad news in the world of music.

Chris Squire could write a melodic bass line that could weave independently for 4 measures all while harmonizing with every chord change and then come looping back around.

Squire's phrasing was just unimaginable by anyone but him.

Yes and Beatles have been my all time favorite bands for decades.
I just saw Yes about a year ago doing their three album series tour of the "Yes Album", "Close To The Edge" and "Going For The One".
I would have bet money that they were going to open with Siberian Khatru (from Close To The Edge) as they often did, but they opened with Perpetual Change at the Golden State Theater in Monterey, CA, if my memory serves me right.

Thanks for all of the great music. You will be missed.
