io invece concordo in pieno con maury tanto che preso spunto da quello che ha scritto e l'ho riportato su progressiveears

Daccordissimo con mauryes68 ! Tutto ha un inizio e tutto ha una fine.....mettiamoci l'anima in pace.R.I.P Chris.

Rick ha scritto questo : I knew, like many of us, that Chris was seriously ill with a rare form of leukaemia, but had heard the encouraging news that he was responding well to treatment and so felt optimistic that with treatment, love and prayer, he would beat it. Ironically I wrote to Paul Silveira, (the manager of YES), on Friday evening to enquire how Chris was and heard the desperately sad news yesterday. The phone has not stopped ringing and my inbox is overflowing with tributes from so many people which simply shows the effect that his contribution to music made to so many of us, musicians and fans alike. We have now lost, who for me, are the two greatest bass players classic rock has ever known. John Entwistle and now Chris. There can hardly be a bass player worth his salt who hasn’t been influenced by one or both of these great players. Chris took the art of making a bass guitar into a lead instrument to another stratosphere and coupled with his showmanship and concern for every single note he played, made him something special. Although Chris is no longer with us in human form, his music has not gone with him and that will be around long after all who read this will also have departed this mortal coil. That’s the great gift of music. That gift can be passed on with what has been created and so Chris will always live on. I, like all of you, send my heartfelt condolences to all Chris’s extended family and may there be some solace for them in knowing the impact he had on so many of us. Chris’s passing, truly marks the end of an era. Rick Wakeman 28th June 2015 Tweet

Vorrei riportare il messaggio originale (in inglese) che Jon ha lasciato per Chris : Chris was a very special part of my life; we were musical brothers. He was an amazingly unique bass player, very poetic, and had a wonderful knowledge of harmony. We met at a certain time when music was very open, and I feel blessed to have created some wonderful, adventurous, music with him. Chris had such a great sense of humor.. he always said he was Darth Vader to my Obiwan. I always thought of him as Christopher Robin to my Winnie the Pooh. We travelled a road less travelled and I'm so thankful that he climbed the musical mountains with me. Throughout everything, he was still my brother, and I'm so glad we were able to reconnect recently. I saw him in my meditation last night, and he was radiant. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. Love and light... Jon ps: auspico una re-union A(B+W)(W+K)(H+R) per un grande concerto in ricordo di Chris

Sono devastata dalla morte di Chris... la mia musa ispiratrice, il mio padre putativo... nonostante il grande patrimonio musicale che ci ha lasciato, siamo tutti un po' più poveri, da ieri... Sarà dura riprendere in mano il basso e suonare le sue armonie... Addio Chris, e grazie di tutto! 🙁

X quel che riguarda Progeny -Yessongs questo è quello che ho trovato su forgotten: 11/01/1972 Ottawa, Ontario Roundabout 11/12/1972 Greensboro, North Carolina Heart Of The Sunrise 11/14/1972 Athens, Georgia Siberian Khatru Yours Is No Disgrace-questa in Yessongs è stata accorciata ma ti rendi conto che è la stessa perchè all'inizio si sente una ragazza gridare il nome del gruppo in entrambe le versioni. Poi Close To The Edge Starship Trooper sono le stesse del Film quindi 12/15/1972 London-Rainbow. I've seen all good people-And You And I-Mood for a day e Wakeman solo non ho idea da dove sono state prese...stessa cosa per i pezzi di Bruford.

Dolore grande. Grazie Chris, i miei YES muoiono con lo spegnersi del tuo basso...

🙁 ....you have heaven, chris
