One of my all time favorites.  Played for a time in Focus, too, I think.

I'm not aware that he played with Focus.

Seen YES many times....most memorable was back in the late 70's 3 nights in a row. Hartford, CT ; New Haven, CT and Springfield, MA.

Alan's work on Tales from Topographic Oceans after Bruford was hard shoes to follow but he did a great job moving forward.

Agreed.  Not 100% sure on the Focus gig, but I recall something from a long time ago................ ................... ....but not positive.
At any rate, a real talent.

Bruford was a master of syncopation and less as more.  White had a drive and beat.  Bill's been retired a few years but I think White was planning to be on a tour with some version of Yes.  I've seen Bill with K Crimson and his own band at the Austin Armadillo.
