Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted May 26, 2022 Bit of a shock about Alan White, because yesterday I saw the news that he won't be playing on Yes' forthcoming tour - which might seem paradoxical, but it didn't sound as if he was that ill. He'd been having back problems for a long time, so for some years they'd had a second drummer who did increasingly more of the playing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'd been having back problems for a long time, so for some years they'd had a second drummer who did increasingly more of the playing. Yeah, really sad - he'd been there for years. Only once on a radio show did we do a Big Album where we played the tracks and made a point of not saying what the album was, basically challenging anyone to email in and tell us. Album in question was White's only solo outing - Ramshackled - which is all over the place in terms of styles, though once we played the Yes-alike track with Jon Anderson on vocals we'd narrowed the odds pretty well. Opened with this, which opens Ramshackled - one of the more prominent dancers on top of the piano is Jon Anderson's first wife. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
