visog Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Sad news. Means he'll miss the Summer tour in the US. And it will be the first time he's missed a tour with Yes (ABWH excepted). Here's hoping he gets well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 That's a real shame, fingers crossed it's diagnosed early enough so they can do something about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Jeff Berlin depped last time. I wonder if he will get the gig again? I am free, otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Tony Levin was the bassist on most of the ABWH (not YES!) tour and berlin depped for him while he had a cold (unfortunately the same time as they videod the show). Billy Sherwood is replacing Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Of the three replacements and one rumoured in previous years: Tony Levin - brilliant, played his 'funk fingers' for most all the Squire parts, worked well with Bruford Billy Sherwood - ok sideman on guitar for Yes tour few years ago, not sure about bass Jeff Berlin - Great player, wrong for Yes - disdain for the music, no sense of rock tone or Chris' phrasing Jon Camp - Lined up for ABWH but Jeff Berlin got it. Addresses both JB's defects above... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hope they've got it early enough and hope he's OK..... A terrible disease ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishface Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 They don't make them like this anymore. This hasn't been a good year for bass players, let's hope fishy ain't on that list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I was quite amazed to hear that this will be the first gig Squire will have missed since they formed in 1968. Hopefully he well recover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
