I know it will be very special \u2013 especially if, on the odd occasion, he buys me dinner!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rick Wakeman had five stints with Yes, beginning with the career-making 1971\u201374 era that saw the band release 1971&#8217;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/the-yes-album\/\">The Yes Album<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/yes-fragile-album\/\">Fragile<\/a><\/em> and 1972&#8217;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/yes-close-to-the-edge-turns-40\/\">Close to the Edge<\/a><\/em>.

He co-wrote &#8220;Into the Storm&#8221; for that 2011 LP then oversaw the release of 2019&#8217;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/yes-to-the-moment\/\">From a Page<\/a><\/em>, featuring more material from the era.
