OT: Bill Bruford is an amazing drummer

[Relayer]

Fast forward to the 26:55 minute. Musical brilliance at its best. But the idiots in Cleveland are clueless.

Agree totally. BB is great and idiots rule supreme in CLE.

Agree. That was a great tour, I actually got to see the band rehearse in Litiz,Pa. Met the all the guys except BB, he stayed behind the kit after rehearsal was over. Anderson was kind of a little shall we say, stuck up, maybe he was having a bad day.
Howe and Levin were very cool and Wakeman was very gracious. Great pic of him and my wife. Rick, Steve and Tony signed my ABWH cd. Great day.

loved this line up, and I have often said there are riffs that exist solely in Bruford's head

Also loved his solo albums. There are not many drummers that have their own sound.... he is one of
them.

Spent a few days myself in Lititz...


along with previous Yes tour rehearsals. One of the Sound Engineers - Bart i believe was his name- was such a cool guy and let us hang out pretty much where we wanted. Havent' been there in years and I know Tait built a new studio... do bands stil come there to rehearse? If so, it can't be like the old studio next to the railroad tracks.

What an amazing change.

Hard to believe Yes is not in the Hall of Fame with Bruford, Howe and Wakeman in the group.

I am a huge Genesis fan, but it was years before I knew Bruford toured

one of my favorite Bruford clips

Apocalypse in 9/8 Live

not sure Bruford is on the same planet as everyone else starting around the 2:00 mark . . .
