Unlike most countries, China celebrates its New Year in the month of February on the second full moon, which marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring. The Chinese or the Lunar New Year is commonly referred to as the “Spring Festival” and is based on the lunar calendar.

Why is it significant this year?
The Year of the Ox will replace the Year of the Rat (2020) that is traditionally filled with turbulence. Around the world, the Covid-19pandemic caused scores of deaths and economic downturn. This year, however, the Ox is predicted to provide some much needed stability.
How did it go viral on social media?
Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram have joined the Chinese New Year celebrations. From stickers to AR effects and filters, both platforms have come up with features allowing users to celebrate the event online.
On Instagram, to commemorate the occasion, the platform has come up with a new story feature which simply compiles people’s celebrations from around the world. To be a part of the story, one must use any of the Year of the Ox stickers in their stories.
The platforms also released new AR effects and filters, in line with the occasion, which users can add to their stories. The new features will be available on the platform through February 17.

Saw this in the theater the night it was broadcast.
Thank you very much. I saw them in St. Louis about 2 months prior. Remarkable.
If you want to be blown away, listen to Squire’s isolated bass on Roundabout.
Especially good heard on a pair of Altec Lansing “Voice of the Theater” speakers.
Yep, Squire and Ox were two of the best. RIP.
Those aren’t the “original” members, that would have been Peter Banks, instead of Howe, and Bill Bruford, instead of White, and Tony Kaye, instead of Wakeman.
Fun stuff & very talented musicians. (Classic lineup) :-)
I think Yes might just have the most convoluted band history of any major rock (?) band out there...

Since you mentioned the Ox, here’s a Who track with one of my favorite bass lines.
“The Real Me” - Live at the Royal Albert Hall

I saw Yes about a year before Chris Squire died. He and Howe very much still had it.
Fleetwood Mac is in the running.

Great stuff
Yes is one of my all time favorite bands.
Chris Squire held The Ox in very high esteem, and Chris' sound was very much influenced by Entwistle.
Something that not many are aware of is that the two died on the same day, 13 years apart.
They both died on June 27th, The Ox in 2002 and The Fish in 2015.

There was a big 'dust up' on which 'version' of Yes would be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Eventually, they decided to induct the members of Yes from their 'Union' tour, but there were those of us who demanded that if someone played and toured with Yes, they should have been included. Somewhere I still have a T-Shirt that features about 30 different artists listed on the back.
BTW, if you watch the induction ceremony, you'll see a woman and child on stage with the members. Those were Chris' widow and daughter, Scottland and Xilan. The RRHOF didn't induct Yes until after Chris had died, and the fans demanded that his family be included to accept the award, and when the RRHoF originally refused, Rick Wakeman told them that he would refuse to attend if they were denied.

I remember seeing Yes in concert in Seattle on an unusually hot day (for Seattle). I can’t remember the venue but I do recall vividly how stifling the dead air was.
And then it occurred to me that while I was griping about a little discomfort, these guys were working their asses off.
They put on one heck of a show.
Wakeman was awesome as well.
Wakeman might be the only conservative prog musican who ever lived! He is also a really funny, and wild and crazy guy.
There was a lot of stuff in this article about Rick Wakeman I didn’t know about:
Let me know what you think.
Or Heart of the Sunrise
Saw them a couple of times live, both were amazing shows. I think the first was when “Talk” was out. The latter, they were playing all their epics - no song under 15 minutes. Good times.
One of the bits they did included a long drum sequence, Japanese style. Very cool.
