"The Skull".

He's a monster player, of course and, at age 75, can still lay players half his age to waste. I think he was playing this same Gibson ES-175 when I first saw Yes at Madison Square Garden back in 1977:

White's best album, and IMO, the best post-Bruford Yes album.

It also struck me as the most metalic -- probably because Moratz wasn't in the same league as Wakeman, so Howe stepped up more.

Howe's guitar work on Gates of Delirium was incredible.

It was a fabulous effort, but as you say, lacking the influences of Wakeman was probably its biggest impact over other changes in that without Wakeman, as grandiose as the work still was, it simply didn't have that incredible cinematic, orchestral effulgence which was the core sound of the true essence of Yes of which Rick was so much a contributor to.
