"We get halfway through, just before the solo, and all the power goes off on stage": The night a furious Ray Davies cut a Yes set short before aiming blows and kicks at Rick Wakeman

.

The Kinks' Ray Davies couldn't care less about Yes's sobbing, but he did decide it was time for the band to stop all its playing during a 1971 show when the British bands shared billing at the Ritz Theatre in Staten Island, N.Y. 

It was the latter of two shows on November 27, during Yes's first stateside trek with keyboardist Rick Wakeman, promoting the band's just-released fourth studio album, Fragile, as well as The Yes Album, which was released nine months prior. It was just one of three shows Yes did with the Kinks on the jaunt, too.
