Muse On Muse : You joined John and Rick on stage as ANDERSON, RABIN & WAKEMAN, after 26 years since the YES reunion tour in 1991. How was it touring with them again?
Trevor Rabin : It was great and gets better with every show.

MM : Which songs were performed on this tour? Tell us about the set list.
TR : It was a combination of different times in Yes history. Rick and I decided to put a fresh spin on everything, which made it quite exciting.

MM : Tell us how the current ANDERSON, RABIN & WAKEMAN project started.
TR : Jon started talking to me about 5 years ago. But I was always very busy with film projects. Then Rick and I met and talked,…we decided to clear our calendars. We’re very glad we did.

MM : Do you plan to record a studio album with ANDERSON, RABIN & WAKEMAN?
TR : We’re writing all the time. A number of record companies want an album. I have no interest in signing to a record company or doing an album. We are recording and will put out music when we’re ready, on our terms. The idea of signing to a record company and doing an album is old and depressing.

MM : Tell us about your pending solo album. We’ve heard that this will be a rock album with you taking over vocal responsibilities.
TR : I’m also about half way through a new solo project. I’ enjoying singing again.

MM : ANDERSON, RABIN & WAKEMAN has announced their Japan tour for April 2017. Please give a message to your fans.
TR : If our Japanese fans enjoy the shows as much as we’re enjoying performing them,…I think we’ll all have a great time.
