9012live was my first concert ever. And I'm glad I got to see them so many times over the years. All-time top 5 band for me with CTTE the best prog and maybe my favorite album ever. R.I.P. Chris

That is REALLY sad news. Chris was one of the absolute best bass players of all-time.

A great loss to the progressive rock world. An amazing bassist, vocalist, writer. So influential.

Yes Play First Show Since Chris Squire's Passing

"...When the time finally came, you felt as if it could have been no other way. With "Onward," the sublime ballad that Squire contributed to the band's 1978 album, Tormato, floating out from the P.A., a single spotlight picked out Squire's signature white Rickenbacker bass, positioned on a stand in the spot where Squire started countless shows. Photographs of the late bassist through the years appeared on a screen overhead, aswirl in rainbow colors and constellations.

The gesture conveyed the gravity of the situation with dignity. Grown men wept aloud...."
