MR> And I'm certainly not slagging Wakeman.  He's a great keyboard
 MR> player. But I think he tends to be over-rated, partly because of his
 MR> flamboyance. He seems to me to be more of an individualist than a
 MR> band-oriented  musician.
Perhaps, but in a band like Yes that tends to work pretty well.  On 
songs like "Close to the Edge" and "Awaken", every band member gets his 
own chance at showing off, but it comes together very well.

I must be in the minority on this one.  _Yesshows_ is one of only a 
handful of live albums I consider worth owning.  It's got some draggy 
moments on it, but "Gates of Delirium" and "Ritual" are, IMO, excellent.
