Founding member and innovative bass player with the classic rock group Yes, Chris Squire was a major force in the band’s revolutionary sound. His unique approach to the bass was an integral part of the recognition that Yes receives as one of the most influential groups on rock music history. The band Yes was formed in the late 1960s and Chris played with them until his death in 2015. In 2017 he was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Yes. In this in-depth interview with Chris, taped in 1990, he reveals some of his earliest aspirations in music to his prolific contributions as the bass player with Yes. Chris demonstrates his unique style in songs performed on the 90125 World Tour, after the release of Yes’ double-platinum album “Owner of a Lonely Heart.” Live performances include “Changes,” where he plays a potent 8-string bass; plus “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “’Round About,” “I’m Running,” and “Cinema.” Chris gives us a close look at the styles and technique he uses with a unique collection of basses. With a rebellious and visionary style, Chris says, “It’s down to just attacking things, really.” Step into the world of Chris Squire, with fascinating musical history, bass riffs, and riveting live concert footage.
