Getting back to TOTO, my apologies, it was of course TFTO.

Sigh... Now wonder it whooshed me. If you had said TFTO I would have got it instantly.

BTW- Has anyone ever seen Rick Wakeman and tikay in the same room?



Yes - at Brentford FC, where he was at the time a Board Member, & I was a never-miss-a-match" supporter.

So many wasted Saturdays & Tuesday evenings.......Barrow, Plymouth, Darlington, Yeovil, & at one time, they never won away in 2 seasons, & I saw every single match. Happy Days? I'm not sure about that.

I didn't know you were such an avid football nutcase supporter. You're more of an onion than me.

No puns, that shallot.

Save that for those souls who fell for Sofa-Kings "Round-Cyprus" Swim Tom, I ain't buying!

TFTO had a rather spiffing Album Cover though. I would think the artwork was done after a spliff, too.

"Yes" were one of the first "Stadium" Bands to implode due to taking themselves way too seriously, & massively overloading on LSD. Rick Wakeman left in a bit of a huff, & turned up in "Genesis", where he claimed much credit for the weirdly-titled "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", an odd song title if ever there was one, but he nicked it from "Yes", it was a lyric from TFTO, & I think it was his way of saying "up yours" to Jon Anderson & Co.

I don't think Wakeman was ever in Genesis.



for overblown 1970s supergroups= Pig over Battersea Power station Floyd. Unsurpassed!

There is an apocryphal story of Nick Lowe & the legendary Johnny Cash turning up to watch a Brentford home game. Maybe Rick Wakeman invited them. I really hope its true.

You are correct Rich - I'm having a bad day here, eh? However did I get that into my head?

And so now we have a mystery as to who nicked that "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" line. I wonder if it has some obscure reference in Ancient Literature & both Groups were merely quoting it??

Never heard that tale before, but it could be true.

You were also a Brentford man?

Rick left the Bees after a series of heart attacks (not caused by watching Jimmy Sirrel's boring football one must assume), & ended up being somehow involved in one of the Manchester clubs - I don't recall which one.

Surely "Emerson Lake & Palmer" must be right up there?

In the late 80s, some of the members of Yes got together to record some stuff more in line with the early records. However, they weren't allowed to call themselves Yes because other members held the rights to use the name, so they named the band after themselves (Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe).

At the time Nat West had the slogan 'The Bank That Likes To Say Yes'. One article about the band in the music press was entitled 'Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe - The Band That Likes To Be Called Yes (But Aren't Allowed)'

Now that's what I would call world class bokking..

well the Genesis side seems to assume no credit towards Yes
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lamb_Lies_Down_on_Broadway


but reviews of the era link Lambs and TFTO closely,

one writes

"Much like Yes' Tales from Topographic Oceans, I have always felt more comfortable appraising Lamb Lies Down on Broadway as an overall great but flawed album, rather than an infallible work of complete genius. As it stands, I find about 70-80% of the material ranges from good to peak work, while the rest could have been discarded with no real loss"

Perhaps they were merely dipping into the same well of classical references.
