  Watching Wakeman's fingers fly is still amazing to me 40+ years later.

  Hearing people complain that a solo wasn't performed correctly to the original performer is ridiculous. If you want to hear the record, stay home.

  Rick Beato is one of the greatest interviewers of any genre. He’ll ask a question and then be quiet and let his guest answer even if he talks for an hour.

  Amazing.  Growing up and in high school in the 70s, I was a huge fan of Yes.  Watching Wakeman play this 50 years later is beyond words.  Genius.

  I love the look on Beato's face. His love for music shows through in everything he does.

  I got a phone call whilst working for Hammond in South Africa as their engineer in 1980.   Received a call mid morning from " Hello this is Rick Wakeman, we're in concert tonight at the Durban City Hall and the Hammond B3 is dead."  Haha I didn't believe it was Rick Wakeman and I thought he was an impersonator joking. He managed to convince me it was real. I landed up repairing the Hammond quite quickly, it was a broken Leslie plug.

  not to discount any member past or present or ever, here&apos;s my thing about YES:<br>I just loved how Chris&apos;s bass, Rick&apos;s keys and Steve&apos;s guitar played so well together,<br>Pure bliss to the ears.. and I love that.. I never tire of that.

  For Yes nerds like me, this is priceless. To understand the thought processes and practicalities from a stellar musician like Rick Wakeman. Been listening to Yes since 1970/71 and saw them a couple of times in 1972/73. &nbsp;Rick Beato does the perfect job, letting his guest talk without any interruptions. Thank you.

  Rick Wakeman just noodling is like most virtuosos really going for it. 😊

  I couldn’t imagine that feeling leaning on the Hammond watching Rick playing B3, and chatting

  Rick Beato&apos;s &apos;glowing&apos; 😂 Smiles from ear to ear. Hell, I would be in awe as well. What an honor to get to interview guys like Rick Wakeman and other legendary band members we all grew up listening to.

  I had the privilege to see Rick jamming with another legend, Jon Lord 13 years ago. It couldn&apos;t get any better than that.
