Red Conway, AB flanker of the 60s, famous for amputating a finger so he could make a tour of South Africa. That's commitment.

The Yes rhythm section did some great, complicated stuff very well indeed and now they’re both gone.
I'm happy I got to see Yes twice when they toured in the 2010s, when Chris Squire was still the band leader. In the latter concert they played all of Fragile and Close to the Edge.
Now, they're Yes in name only with only Steve Howe left from the classic lineup.
I saw a tour many years ago, possibly in the 90s, which seemed quite the novelty, they were almost all there. No Trevor Horn or Patrick Moraz, but they had Bruford and White, Wakeman and Kaye, Howe and Rabin. I can’t recall whether they all played together on all the songs, or whether each player contemporaneous to the song being played did it while the other sat, can’t recall, but I do remember Bruford and White playing at the same time in many songs and it was really really good.

@Kid-Chocolate That sounds like the Union tour. White brought a rock edge to the band as Bruford is more jazz/fusion.

The Hawk R.I.P. I had the privilege of meeting and partying with the Legend several times many years ago. His health had been shit for a decade, but it’s very sad to hear his passing. The dude was one of a kind.
Ronnie Hawkins, rock’n’roll legend who mentored The Band, dies aged 87
Arkansas-born showman – known as ‘The Hawk’ – cut his teeth on the South’s tough 50s circuit but settled in Canada where he nurtured local talent

Ronnie had me pissing myself laughing about his experience filming Heaven’s Gate. He was cast in a minor role in one of the film’s biggest scenes, and he swore he thought he was going to die from the explosives in a long single take when cameras kept rolling recording a chaotic battle scene with explosives, horses and wagons. If you’ve ever seen it, it looks genuinely terrifying. He was scheduled to spend three weeks on location in wild Montana, and ended up spending seven months, the longest of any of the cast. John Hurt got fed up, flew back to England, shot all of The Elephant Man, then returned to Montana to continue his Heaven’s Gate shooting while Cimino was in California, driving the studio into the ground, and Ronnie was still there in the mud.

This is probably the earliest footage I’ve seen of Levon Helm, seventeen years old, he looks like a young Jerry Lee Lewis behind the kit. Ronnie is Mr. Dynamo.
