Close to the Edge: The Story of Yes

This is a hard book to pin down. On the one hand Welch has plenty of quotes from members of the band, primarily Rick, Jon and Steve, and a little less from Chris. On the other hand, these quotes go on and on, and while they may be interesting to a degree, this slows down the pace. Another dichotomy was that some albums and songs were dissected nicely while others were surprisingly glossed over. At least one spot, where Welch discusses the late phase wife of the band, he employs a strange chronological flow, going back-and-forth a bit. While not hard to follow, it is a strange choice. But overall the key milestones of the band are well explained and now I have a better understanding of this very creative and unique band. I assume the formatting of the e-book caused numerous typos, such as words running together. If that's in the original, Welch needs an editor.
