Yes fans turning up to the Fragile show at the Royal Standard in London on the 19th March 1999 received a real bonus as original Yes guitarist Peter Banks joined the band to play Time and a Word and then later to trade solos during Wurm. The following pictures record this special event in Fragile's early history which was arranged by Tiz Hay of The Yes Music Circle.

Peter recently recalled the event in his book "Beyond and Before" saying . . .

I actually sat in and played with a Yes cover band called Fragile not long ago. Very nice guys who sound like Yes. They were so accommodating, how could I say no? It was just "Time And A Word", a few drinks and a very surreal evening. All very spontaneous.
