Difference between Steve Porcaro and Union (Yes album)

Steve Porcaro vs. Union (Yes album)

Steven Maxwell Porcaro (born September 2, 1957) is an American keyboardist, composer and original member of the rock band Toto. Union is the thirteenth studio album by the English rock band Yes, released on 30 April 1991 by Arista Records. Production began in 1990 following the amalgamation of two bands featuring current and previous members of Yes at the time: Yes, consisting of Chris Squire, Trevor Rabin, Tony Kaye, and Alan White; and Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe (ABWH), consisting of Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, and Bill Bruford. The album is a collection of tracks written and performed by each group separately. Recording was met with differences from the beginning, including the merger of the two groups, internal relations, and the decision by producer Jonathan Elias to have session musicians play parts already put down by Wakeman and Howe. Union was released to a mixed critical reception and the majority of the band have openly stated their dislike for the album, its production, and the difficulties faced with making it. The album reached number 7 in the UK and number 15 in the US. Three singles were released from the album: "Lift Me Up", "Saving My Heart", and "I Would Have Waited Forever". "Lift Me Up" topped the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for six weeks. In the United States, Union was certified gold in its first two months by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipment of 500,000 copies. In 1992, Howe's guitar solo, "Masquerade", received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. Yes supported Union with their 1991–1992 world tour that featured all eight members playing on stage; at its conclusion, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe left the band.
