Interesting read. Particularly this paragraph.
During their Q&A session, Yes opened up about the loss of their co-founder – and their resilience to carry forward. “What’s the point in not carrying on?” asked Steve Howe, while Sherwood talked about his emotional conversations with Squire, who encouraged him to take over the bass role. Elsewhere in the chat, Howe discussed a forthcoming 5.1 Steven Wilson remix of their divisive 1973 LP, Tales From Topographic Oceans, and praised late Yes co-founder/guitarist Peter Banks as a “great contributor” to the band and prog-rock.
I was in the Q&A session on the same cruise for PFM - and asked them if they had ambitions to re-release any of their works in 5.1. They seemed baffled by the idea! Perhaps Mr. Wilson isn't a fan of theirs.
BTW - there was very obvious nod to the late Chris Squire; immediately before the band took the stage, they placed Chris' bass in a stand in the center of the stage and projected images in memory of him. It was a tasteful homage and essentially addressed Chris' passing so they could get on with the show.
Perhaps they'll rename their 2017 (nothing scheduled for 2016) trip to "Cruise to Topographic Oceans"
