And, in my Yes concert review awhile back, I mentioned a duet with Rick and Jon that was "a throwaway" - listening to ABWH, I figured out that it was "The Meeting" - I'll include it, but that's a pretty lame tune as well...

I read somewhere that the only reason for the very existence of ABWH was that there was a trademark issue over the 'Yes' name that someone was complaining about. Eventually, after (what was it, one or two albums?) they re-formed. So, as far as I can tell, ABWH *IS* Yes, with the exception of a certain bass player.
The point of all this? well, there really isn't one. I can listen to ABWH, but their bass line is a bit weak (yes, I am a Chris Squire fan. Deal.), but some of it is quite prog, from what I've heard.
No point to this, just spewing my normal opinions all over the place.
Roger -Dot- Lee, being particularly pointless today, I suppose.
