AUTOGRAPHED SOLO YES BAND MEMBERS
Because of the extreme generosity of most of the band members of the band YES, (and because of the lack of internet speed),
I felt it would be awesome to separate the autographs I have obtained from one on my favorite bands ever,
and showcase their solo signed memorabilia.
Now, if I have more or less, of any member from the other, it by know means speaks of thier lack of generosity
OR my lack of interest in that artist. It simply means I needed them more of YES items, than solo items
and/or I have not been able to get to them in any setting whereas I could obtain solo items.
With that said, this page is still on going and with some luck, on growing:
The generosity of both Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman simply has no limits.
Evidenced here by Jon signing “through the mail” and what Rick sold signed through his website.
Anderson/Wakeman “The Living Tree” album and tour
Yet another version of the ever changing and ongoing members of YES, was this beautiful and magnificent
album and tour by Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman of their 2010 album, The Living Tree.
Though I did not attend this tour, I really enjoy this album and recommend it highly.
The above signed Tour Books were obtain through Rick’s website AND through
the mail during the COVID epidemic with Jon Anderson, both in March/April of 2021.
PATRICK MORAZ and BILL BRUFORD
Above are two of the 1985 “FLAGS” album
autographed by Patrick Moraz and Bill Bruford both through
the mail between November of 2018 and July 2019.
Steve Howe solo “Beginning’s” and 2 of his 1979 solo album’s autographed in Phoenix, July 24, 2019.
(along with Roger Dean’s signature too)
The above 3 signed CD covers were purchased in 2020 from Steve Howe’s website.
(I did not get these signed in person).
(more mages to follow)
I cannot even begin to express the love and admiration, 1000% respect, for Mr. Trevor Rabin.
A musician and a man, that I simple admire so very much.
With a “DO NOT SEND ME ANYTHING TO AUTOGRAPH” policy that Bill Bruford has
with his fans, there is very little signed memorabilia by this very talented and original drummer of the band YES.
A musician and a drummer that I simply admire so tremendously, its unfortunate that
all I have signed by him by way of anything solo, are these 3 very sad signed photos purchased from his website.
(more mages to follow)
An incredibly friendly and nice and very welcoming man at the Meet & Greets’.
Makes me and all the fans feel they have been part of the show.
Much like Trevor, a man that I simple admire so very much.
