Karl Palmer on drums, Geoff Downes (ex Yes/Buggles) on keyboards, Steve Howe 
on guitar, and John Wetton on bass/vox.

I heard John Wetton in concert playing "Roudabout", and thought that he 
sounded the closest to Chris Squire that I'd heard - there was some nuance 
I'm not able to grasp fully that he just "got".

When Chris Squire passed away, then Yes was inducted into the hall of fame, 
I was saddened to think the only other person who could have nailed it was 
John Wetton.

Then, I heard Geddy Lee playing with the rest of Yes at the induction into 
the Rock and Roll hall of fame, and he did a great job of honoring a 
wonderful bassist (and the longest running member of all of the incarnations 
of Yes...)
