Rick Wakeman is easily my favorite. I still cant get over the solo sections he does in South Side of the Sky, on the Yes 35th Anniversary Concert on the Tsongas DVD!!
Dont worry about trying to get wakeman to do a show, try and get Yes to tour again!
(there are rumours that they are to tour next year to celebrate their 40th Anniversary. Yes fans can only hope!)
