What moves us through the silence of Chris Squire's passing is to know that he will live in our hearts always. What he leaves behind is not to die, but to live on in the minds and hearts of those who loved him. Chris, you made part of this life shared very special for both of us. R.I.P dear Chris ~ Bass Player Extraordinaire ღღღ In the love of There, as in the love of Here, we will think of him still as the same ... 1948~2015 ~> You (Chris Squire) were a superb talent. YES! RIP- (Dan & Donna) ~ Forever fans ...

Chris was a wonderful musician but kind of a turd personally. I was in a band called Roots Of Consciousness that opened for them in Atlanta on....the Talk tour? Jon brought us out around the stage with them before the show because they were going to do Purple Haze as an encore, and he couldn't remember the lyrics. His bright idea, which was incredibly fun for about 10 minutes, was for us to help him re-learn the lyrics.... until Mr. Squire came out and said, if I recall, "Get these twats out of here." We got a smile and a wink from Jon and split. Still love you Chris.

This was probably the last time in their touring career they were at their best. Howe was simply a virtuoso, White hadn't started to decline yet, Squire was alive and at the top of his game, and Wakeman was awesome and with the band. I loved this group for 50 years. RIP Mr. Squire and Mr. White. You are missed.

I’d agree with that…the tempo sadly dropped to a snails pace after this then they began replacing Jon and it was just a sad sight to see… I’m sure The Steve Howe experience play more like this now but I don’t care for tribute bands…

He had a style and sound that no one else came close to. He was extremely melodic, and many of Yes' songs were as good as they were because of Squire's inventive bass lines. There are so many songs I could mention; the most obvious being "Roundabout". "Heart of the Sunrise" is another beauty. Thanks for the excellent comment, Sebastian. R.I.P. Chris "the fish" Squire.
