Andrew Colyer Backstage with U.K. in New York City

Apr 21, 2013

U.K. are a British progressive rock supergroup that were active from 1977 until 1980. The band was composed of singer/bassist John Wetton (formerly of King Crimson, Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry’s band and Uriah Heep), keyboardist/electric violinist Eddie Jobson (formerly of Curved Air, Roxy Music and Frank Zappa’s band), guitarist Allan Holdsworth (formerly of Tempest, Soft Machine, The New Tony Williams Lifetime and Gong) and drummer Bill Bruford (formerly a full member of Yes and King Crimson, and also a tour drummer for Genesis), later replaced by drummer Terry Bozzio (formerly of Frank Zappa’s band).  UK recently reformed with John Wetton, Eddie Jobson, Alex Machacek, and Terry Bozzio for a world tour in 2012-2013.

Andrew Colyer was hanging out with U.K. last week in New York City!  Eddie Jobson gave a Music Masterclass before the concert, which Andrew recorded.  (Contact us if you would like a copy of the recording.)  Original member John Wetton was on hand, as well as guitarist Alex Machacek.  Drummer Virgil Donati replaced Terry Bozzio just before the performance, and it was the first time that he had even met John Wetton.  The concert was awesome.  Here are some photos:

YES are an English rock band who achieved success with their progressive, art, and symphonic style of rock music. They are distinguished by their use of mystical and cosmic lyrics, live stage sets and lengthy compositions, often with complex instrumental and vocal arrangements. The band’s current line-up since February 2012 consists of singer Jon Davison, guitarist Steve Howe, bass guitarist Chris Squire, keyboardist Geoff Downes, and drummer Alan White.

April 2013.  After seeing YES perform their “Triple Album” concerts – “The Yes Album”, “Close To The Edge”, and “Going for The One” on the inaugural Cruise To The Edge, musician/composer Andrew Colyer had the good pleasure of hanging out out backstage with YES while seeing them at the Foxwoods Theatre in Connecticut and The Beacon Theatre in New York City.
