Who was Peter Banks - not to be confused with Tony Banks, the keyboard
player from Genesis (and given as an answer by someone to this question).

For some reason I had a recollection of another name. At least then
Banks does not deserve the giggle I had when I saw that answer.
But here's another question: who is the *current* keyboard player
in Yes?
John Masters
Are Yes still going? I saw them at the Royal Albert Hall back in 19??
and it was Rick Wakeman on keyboards. That was at Cream's last gig and
Taste were also on the bill.
Rob Parker
> But here's another question: who is the *current* keyboard player
> in Yes?
I think they're back to Rick Wakeman, who was part of the "classic" line-up.
Later replaced by Patrick Moraz, and sometimes by Trevor Horne (who was
usually involved in their record production). And I think there was someone
else at one stage.

Didn't Cream split up in 1969? That was before Rick Wakeman joined Yes.

Erland Sommarskog
Members has indeed come and gone in Yes. Only the bass player remains
the same - but that is only because he owns the name. And no place
has seen so many changes as the keyboards.
The current keyboard player in Yes is - believe it or not - Geoff Downes.
He played on the Drama album together with his mate from Buggles, Trevor
Horn on voclas. Yes released their first studio albun in years this year,
"Fly From Here" and it's centred around a piece that Horn/Downes presented
for Yes in the time of the Drama album, but it was never recorded. Downes
replaced a Wakeman on keyboards - Oliver Wakeman, Rick's son!
(And the singer these days is a Benoît David, since Jon Anderson has
health problems. David does not sound that much Anderson - but he sounds
a whole lot like Trevor Horn!)

And he's a pretty remarkable bass player ;-)

And there's another Wakeman keyboardist - son Adam, who has played on
several records with Rick. According to Wikipedia, he's also playing with
Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. Talented family.

Thanks for the update on the Yes line-up.
Rob
John Masters
You're right, it was late 60's. Yes were not really my thing at that
time so I'm probably mistaken about Wakeman being there.
