Alan White In The 1970s Photographers: Unknown

Jon on how the concept of Close to the Edge came about.

"I had a dream about two or three years ago. I dreamed I was walking down this road carrying an amplifier. I stepped into some quicksand and I started to sink. I didn't scream out, because there was nobody about. I died, and I finished up on this hill, and this old man had his arm around my shoulder and was pointing. At the end of his hand was my life all spread out. I laughed and said 'Oh, that's what it's all about.' It was incredible." - Jon Anderson

Happy 78th birthday to honey voice and talented Justin Hayward!!!

What was the first song that you listened to by Yes and/or got you into Yes?

I'll start! The first song I listened to by Yes was "A Venture!" A little side lore: I was into Rush before I got into Yes, and when I heard Geddy (I think) say that he would go see Yes in concert I thought "Why don't I check them out!" And now I am a big Yes fan :)

The song that made me really get into Yes was Onward though. I was legit sobbing and blown away! Please put a link to the songs! I really wanna hear your faves :)(because I don't remember what every Yes song sounds like lol)
