Steeeeeeeeve ~ Happy Birthday! Yes, Mr. Howe turns 77 today. A master of the guitar, there is no doubt that Steve is one of the most outstanding players of the instrument in the history of human kind. So difficult to pick only one Yes track with scorching guitar work from Steve Howe. It took me all morning to decide, but figured ya can’t go wrong with “Starship Trooper”! This clip lovingly edited together by a Yes fan, using Philip Howe’s footage from ‘Yessongs’.
