Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey CreceliusCD set purchased 2014Is this the last part of our What did they do next series? Probably…possibly…maybe not. In any event, we are going to stop for the moment after we have talked about what Benoit David did after leaving the band due to ill health in 2012. Apart from the tragic loss of Chris Squire and the resulting return of Billy Sherwood, the band has maintained the same lineup since Benoit left. While he was still touring with Yes, he was also working on an album for a different band - which one? Well, maybe it’s not much of a mystery but if you don’t know, just keep listening as Mark and I explain what happened leading up to Benoit’s departure and what he did next.What did Benoit do next?What other band did he contribute to?Is it a MYSTERY?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZtnIUzdEFQBecome a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey CreceliusThis week it’s the first part of our next - and presumably last…maybe…what did they do next featuring the 2011-ish departure of keyboardist and true gentleman of prog, Oliver Wakeman. Mark and I discuss how and why Oliver left the band and what he did next in collaboration with another giant of the music world. We set you a task to listen to that project before next week’s episode, just like we will be doing and if you already know what we are talking about, please do leave your comments on the show notes for this week and we will try and include as many as possible in the episode next time.What were the circumstances around Oliver Wakeman's exit from the band?Was it a smooth process?What did he do next?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!Oliver Wakeman's Yes tenure - too short?Become a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey CreceliusSimon Barrow with his book in front of the YES 50 plaqueWhat should we expect from Yes in the coming year? Simon Barrow has some ideas as does Mark. We had a great conversation about the possibilities and our own, personal desires, partly based on the Facebook post by Daniel Krohn on the YMP Facebook page.As always, it was a delight to welcome the erudite and knowledgeable Simon back onto the show. Do watch out for at least two books from him - an updated version of Solid Mental Grace - Listening to the Music of Yes and YES in the 90s.In case you missed it, Simon has asked YMP listeners to contact the show if they have any photos from any Yes 90s events - so please take a look in your personal archives and let's see how we can help.What do you want from Yes in 2022?Will we see some archival releases?Surely no new music...?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!Become a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey CreceliusMark and I met someone who can fill in a few more gaps in the Yes story this week. We managed to track down and speak to Peter Woolliscroft who was only a short time into his studio engineering career at Advision studio in London when Yes turned up to record Tormato. He shares his recollections of the sessions which are rich and extensive and it was a pleasure to welcome him to the show. Listen out for revelations about Tormato and a little bit about Peter’s extensive list of work with some of the biggest names in rock and pop.How were things set up at Advision for Yes?Would it have been better to employ a producer?Who walked into reception accompanied by an avian pal?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!Peter's name and Advision Studios in the Tormato creditshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPm0iHPfyG8Watch out for the North drums at 8:36 and Rick playing the Birotron at 2:34 and elsewhere.Become a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

After restoring, playing and recording with these strange objects, Chris is ideally placed to explain why they look so weird and why drummers like Alan White were interested in using them.It's another engrossing story from a very knowledgeable musician and it's packed with detail so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.Why are North drums shaped like that?What were they made of?Why did they disappear?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!Some North Drums artifacts are available here -http://www.drumarchive.com/North/I mention and highly recommend Gerard Bassols' book, The Musical Instruments of Progressive Rock which is available here in the UK and here in the US.https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=t9ViHM7GXN0&ab_channel=KellyCravenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BuoQyom1wIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHBMLZG5T1ABecome a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey CreceliusThis week Mark and I have had a great time re-watching 3 videos from the Going For The One era. As you may know, there is an extensive behind-the-scenes film of what went on at Mountain Studios in Montreux in 1976 and I was wondering if the feel of that process was evident in the following tour. So Mark suggested the film of Glasgow on that tour and I added the mash-up of the title song which takes film footage from several different concerts and matches it to a good quality soundtrack.All 3 videos are embedded below. You might want to watch them before listening to us discuss our reactions.What was the mood like when Yes were recording Going For The One in Switzerland?Did the melodica trio end up on the album or not?Why did Rick Wakeman take his shoes and socks off in Glasgow and what did he do next?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwEQ-HPSyGkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMwlvmqQZOwhttps://youtu.be/JEhfIUBaR4MBecome a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey CreceliusAs always, it was sheer delight to welcome Stephen Lambe and David Watkinson back onto the show this week to talk about their latest collaboration, YES in the 1980s.It's a great book which goes into detail about the often tortuous journey of the band in the decade of excess. Solo albums and other groups closely associated with Yes are included in a volume which boasts 2 sets of full-colour photos as well as countless other illustrations, a lot of which are presented in printed format for the first time.A must for all serious Yes fans (particularly the five per cent), the book is available now from Burning Shed at the link below.Why write a book about the decade which could - or should - have killed off progressive rock?What hidden stories are uncovered?What untaken paths would the authors like to have see Yes take in the 80s?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!David Watkinson and Stephen Lambe with their new bookThe best place to buy the book is the official Burning Shed online store:https://burningshed.com/sonicbond/stephen-lambe_david-watkinson_yes-in-the-1980s_book Dave's original press advert for 90125 A rare Mexican version of 90125 from Dave's collectionBecome a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey CreceliusIt was a great pleasure to welcome back to the show former Yes keyboard player and prolific solo artist, Oliver Wakeman.We asked him about some of his latest releases including Dark Fables, Tales From Gaslight and his soundtrack to Yendor.It was particularly interesting to hear recollections of working with original Yes guitarist Peter Banks and Oliver also shared some remarkable tales from his Yes days including what happened when he first joined the band in Canada, what Chris Squire said to him and something to do with sellotaping two keyboard pedals together...Was Oliver's entry to the band smooth and straight-forward?What was Peter Banks like to work with?Why does Oliver keep coming back to epic structures and story-telling in his music?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!Oliver's linksOliver's website:https://www.oliverwakeman.co.uk/The multi-award winning soundtrack to Yendor:https://yendorsadventures.com/Tales by Gaslight Box Set:https://burningshed.com/store/oliverwakeman/nolan-and-wakeman_tales-by-gaslight_3cdBurning Shed store:https://burningshed.com/store/oliverwakemanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXds6l4T6H0&t=2shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SGliMLJ3eIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHDvZ-yRC1kBecome a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Steve Howe by William MulryneProduced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey CreceliusIn a break from our very well-received technical episodes, Mark and I return this week to the what did they do next series.We are still in the so-called YES hiatus period of 2005-ish and we have just two band members yet to consider, the first being Steve Howe. SO we’ve taken a look around the various sources to see what Steve was up to at this point and one of the most useful was, perhaps unsurprisingly, his autobiography, All My Yesterdays.So, what do you think we chose to talk about this week and listen to next week? You will need to be a bit of a hard-core Steve Howe fan to know the answer, I suppose, but keep listening and see if you are correct then take the opportunity to listen yourself this week and then see how our opinions differ from yours next week. Do let us know, of course.What was Steve up to now?Who was he working with?What Yes connections can we discover?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!Become a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey CreceliusA small selection from my Tormato collectionI asked our friend Miguel Falcão to tell me a bit about how Chris Squire achieved such a remarkable bass sound for Tormato. Instead of sending me a few bullet points, Miguel was kind enough to record a complete audio description of the technical minutiae of the master's solution. Mark and I listen to this amazing in-depth piece and discuss a few of the points Miguel makes.Many thanks to Miguel and if you haven't heard his staggeringly accurate Yes bass covers, then you are missing out a great deal. See the links below to remedy that immediately.How did Chris Squire achieve 'that' sound for Tormato?What technology did he employ?Was the approach the same on every song on Tormato?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!Miguel's amazing website:Miguelbass.comChris Squire's bass setup photographed by Dave Watkinson at the Tormato sessions, RAK studios, London, 1978:A selection of Miguel's Tormato bass cover versions:https://youtu.be/rnwWLGfSLoghttps://youtu.be/ojygByrrijIhttps://youtu.be/E8Kwf2mklvQMiguel's Annual #PlayForChris project:https://youtu.be/giM1mgCXFhoOther resourceshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=977Sri5EcCEhttps://youtu.be/RJ4fdD-tHG4Become a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we decided to go really deeply into the technical weeds of Yes and look at an instrument which appears on Tormato and not very many other places in the musical universe. We are joined by the remarkable Chris Dale who has devoted many years of his life to collecting and renovating this, rarest of all musical instruments, the Birotron. We discuss what Rick Wakeman had to do with this fascinating story, what the Birotron is and why it was never put into production despite 1000 musicians wanting to buy one.It’s another deeply hidden part of the Yesstory and one which Mark and I enjoyed finding out about enormously. I hope you also find it an interesting diversion.What is a Birotron?Where can you hear one?Why is it the rarest musical instrument in the world?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!Help Save The Birotron Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/birotron/https://youtu.be/URR7l-uI6JAAn article on the Birotronhttps://musicalduffer.wordpress.com/2013/04/02/urmusik-2-steampunk-scooby-doo-and-the-birotron/?fbclid=IwAR1-lBWYz_qDU68JMdob4xznbqoxu7nhm007sflLnDLvwwUFCCIJ4JM3Xh8Join us as a Patron!If you would like to support the Yes Music Podcast financially and also have access to exclusive activity and opportunities, there is a special page you can use to sign up and 2020 is the time to join us:Become a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - available now!Order the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Fly From Here DVDProduced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston FrazierThis week Mark and I are delving deeply into a 5% for something topic so if you consider yourself a casual fan of the world’s greatest progressive rock band you can either stick around and learn or save yourself a chunk of time by leaving now. I recommend you stay and become inducted into the mindset of the YMP enthusiasts. It’s fun, or at least I’ve found it so for 10 years now.So assuming you are still with me, we will be diving into a comparison of two Yes albums, The Ladder and Fly From Here, based on our own, entirely arbitrary measures. Do let me know if you agree or disagree with our findings by commenting on the show notes for this week’s episode or maybe opening your window and shouting for the world to hear - whichever you’d prefer.Which album is 'better'?What is the artwork like?What is the music and production like?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!Join us as a Patron!If you would like to support the Yes Music Podcast financially and also have access to exclusive activity and opportunities, there is a special page you can use to sign up and 2020 is the time to join us:Become a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Pre-order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - going into production very soonOrder the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Produced by Wayne Hall, Jeffrey Crecelius and Preston FrazierIn a special, extra episode, I have the pleasure of talking to the man who helped Yes to transform their sound and approach in 1970, Steve Howe.He told us about his time in Asia and how the band got back together in 2007 with its original line-up which is featured on the latest release, Asia, The Reunion Albums, 2007-2012.We also had a chance to hear about the slightly different approach on Steve's latest Homebrew collection, which is to be released in July 2021.As always, it was a delight to speak to Steve, one of my all-time musical heroes.Let me know what you think of the interview.

What did he get up to once he had recovered from total exhaustion at the end of the 35th Anniversary Tour?

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall and Preston FrazierThis week we return to our occasional 'What did they do next' series and it’s Rick Wakeman’s turn again. After some fairly typical personal and legal upset, the band and Rick parted ways and there was to be no repeat of the Keys to Ascension positivity.This left Wakeman free to indulge other passions and so he ramped up one of his long-held ambitions - to return to the centre of the earth. Mark and I discuss this project a little later on and then next week we will report back on the music itself.What did Rick do this time he left?Was it a typically low-key affair?What was he going to 're-tread'?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!Join us as a Patron!If you would like to support the Yes Music Podcast financially and also have access to exclusive activity and opportunities, there is a special page you can use to sign up and 2020 is the time to join us:Become a Patron!Bag yourself a fabulous piece of YMP history before it's too late...Head over to the YMP Emporium to...Pre-order a YMP Trivia Card Game 'The Answer Is Yes!' - going into production very soonOrder the unique Full Union art print - available nowThe Full Union!

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall and Preston FrazierIt’s been quite a week. Mark and I managed to scoop an amazing world exclusive thanks to Bob Cesca and Tim Panella. They joined us to talk about the period in which they both worked with Yes on remixes, artwork, videography and more.

This week Mark and I caught up with Yes author and friend of the band, Jon Kirkman, who told us about his new Yes live photography book as well as the next Cruise to the Edge which he is co-hosting. The book is called Tales from Photographic Oceans and it promises to be an amazing publication, one which is limited to only 300 copies as well. What's the new book all about?What's the Cruise To The Edge all about?How important is the Relayer Tour to the band?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!If you would like to support the Yes Music Podcast financially and also have access to exclusive activity and opportunities, there is a special page you can use to sign up and 2019 is the time to join us:Become a Patron!Show notes and links:Get hold of the book here - https://jonkirkman.co.uk/tales-from-photographic-oceans-coming-soon/ Cruise to the Edge Official Website:https://cruisetotheedge.com/YMP Patrons:Producers:Jeffrey CreceliusPreston FrazierBill Govier andWayne HallPatrons:Aaron SteelmanDave OwenMark James LangPaul TomeiJoost MaglevDavid HeydenMartin KjellbergPaul WilsonBob MartilottaLindMichael O'ConnorPeter HearndenBrian SullivanDavid PannellMiguel FalcãoLobate ScarpChris BandiniDavid WatkinsonNeal KaforeyRachel HadawayCraig EstenesDemPaul HailesMark 'Zarkol' BaggsDoug CurranRobert NasirFergus CubbageScott ColomboFred BarringerScott Smith Geoff BailieSimon Barrow Geoffrey MasonStephen LambeGuy R DeRomeSteve DillHenrik AntonssonSteve PerryHogne Bø PettersenSteve RodeIanNBSteve ScottJamie McQuinnSteven RoehrKen FullerTerence Sadler Michael Handerhan Tim StannardJimTodd DudleyJohn CowanTony HandleyJohn HoldenJoseph CottrellJohn ParryKeith HoisingtonJohn ThomsonWilliam Hayes Barry GorskyRobert and DavidPlease subscribe!If you are still listening to the podcast on the website, please consider subscribing so you don’t risk missing anything:Subscribe on AndroidListen on StitcherTheme music The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.

This week, I'm away for work so it's been impossible to create a full episode. However, there are two important Yes updated we need to cover so I attempted to connect with Mark from my hotel room - which worked, a bit...So what we have is a very short episode covering the announcement of the US Tour dates for 2020 and the press release from Dave Watkinson which I've copied below:JONANDERSON and THE WARRIORSThe Book, VinylEP Record and Accrington Display March – April –May 202028 - March - Paperback Bookrelease 30 - March - Jon & The WarriorsVinyl Demos EP Record release 27 - April - Accrington LibraryDisplay Opening Day and Signing 30 - May - Accrington Library Display- Warriors member - Signing JON ANDERSON BOOKJon Anderson and The Warriors - the road to YesA meticulously researched book about Jon Andersonand his early band The Warriors (who also featured future King Crimson drummerIan Wallace).Published by Sonicbond Publishing in the UK it has208 pages. It features 175 black and white photos and 44 in colour, most notseen for more than 50 years.Jon Anderson is the enigmatic lead singer and foundingmember of Yes. He is also a composer, artist, writer, dreamer, lyricist, poetand musician, with a career spanning more than fifty years. Many books havebeen written about the band Yes, but until now none have covered Jon's earlyyears in his first band, The Warriors, in any detail. This group played a keyrole in developing Jon's Anderson’s vocal range, work ethic and determinationto succeed, as well as giving him valuable experience in the music business, whichwas of invaluable help as his career blossomed.David Watkinson takes us on a journey from theLancashire beat music scene in the early 1960s to the vibrancy of London laterin the decade. In the short time The Warriors existed - from 1963 to 1967 -they released a single, appeared on TV and in a movie, and spent a yearfollowing in the Beatles footsteps as a working group in Germany.As well as providing a complete history of TheWarriors, this book also follows Jon's subsequent career in London, hisappearances with Gun and his brief solo career as Hans Christian. He finallymet Chris Squire and found a home in Mabel Greer's Toyshop, as that groupgradually morphed into Yes during the summer of 1968. The book includes newinterviews with Jon and many members of The Warriors, through its variousline-up changes, most for the very first time. It also features a newlyresearched family tree, long forgotten photographs, of both the Warriors andthe first line up of Yes, many items of memorabilia and an exclusive look intothe band’s diaries. It closes with a comprehensive discography and acollectables section.This unique and meticulously researched book willdelight both Yes and Jon Anderson fans as well as students of the 1960s musicscene. It is essential reading for all lovers of the world's greatestprogressive rock band, and fans of the genre's finest vocalist - Jon Anderson.The Paperback edition signed by the author isexclusively available through…https://burningshed.com/david-watkinson_jon-anderson-and-the-warriors_pb-book?filter_name=jon%20&filter_sub_category=truePrice: £20, 234 x 156 mm (Royale), ISBN:9781789520354https://www.sonicbondpublishing.co.uk/The book is also available to pre order from allbookshops and online stores.JON ANDERSON and THE WARRIORS THE LOST DEMOS VINYL EPInthese early recordings by Jon we don’t get the lyrics, wordplay,mysticism or complex sounds and meanings which later became his signature. Whatwe have here is a young man enjoying himself as a band member, trying tomake a few pounds, travel and to emulate the Beatles a little. In thesebasic beginnings neither Jon Anderson or Ian Wallace shine much, butwhat we do get are little signs and glimpses of their potential. Jon
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill GovierPeter BanksI hope you heard Mark’s tribute to Neil Peart who very sadly died recently - I put the audio of his video introduction into the YMP feed. I’m not qualified to comment on Rush or Neil Peart so I’m grateful to Mark for letting me use his words which I’m sure come from us all after the unexpected and tragic news.You may have been expecting the second part of our Trevor Horn episode this week but when we had the chance to talk to prog rock violin legend, David Cross about his collaboration with Peter Banks, we couldn’t miss the opportunity. So we will return to Dollar and Trevor Horn next week. Later in this episode, you’ll hear that great interview which covers not only the newly-released Crossover album but also David’s recollections of Peter and of the early London prog rock scene, where he played with his own bands and, of course, King Crimson.How did Crossover come about?What impression did David have of Peter?Who else is on this album?Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!If you would like to support the Yes Music Podcast financially and also have access to exclusive activity and opportunities, there is a special page you can use to sign up and 2019 is the time to join us:Become a Patron!Show notes and links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzEzlaRHevYYMP Patrons:Producers:Jeffrey CreceliusPreston FrazierBill Govier andWayne HallPatrons:Aaron SteelmanDave OwenMark James LangPaul TomeiJoost MaglevDavid HeydenMartin KjellbergPaul WilsonBob MartilottaLindMichael O'ConnorPeter HearndenBrian SullivanDavid PannellMiguel FalcãoLobate ScarpChris BandiniDavid WatkinsonNeal KaforeyRachel HadawayCraig EstenesDemPaul HailesMark 'Zarkol' BaggsDoug CurranRobert NasirFergus CubbageScott ColomboFred BarringerScott Smith Geoff BailieSimon Barrow Geoffrey MasonStephen LambeGuy R DeRomeSteve DillHenrik AntonssonSteve PerryHogne Bø PettersenSteve RodeIanNBSteve ScottJamie McQuinnSteven RoehrKen FullerTerence Sadler Michael Handerhan Tim StannardJimTodd DudleyJohn CowanTony HandleyJohn HoldenJoseph CottrellJohn ParryKeith HoisingtonJohn ThomsonWilliam Hayes Barry GorskyRobert and DavidPlease subscribe!If you are still listening to the podcast on the website, please consider subscribing so you don’t risk missing anything:Subscribe on AndroidListen on StitcherTheme music The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.

Trevor HornProduced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier This week, Mark and I went in search of the first thing Trevor Horn did after leaving Yes as (reluctant) front man. He threw himself into production, with the support and encouragement of his wife and the first project was the band, Dollar. So, we have been doing a bit of research, in our own minds and on the interwebs to see what we can remember and find out about this band and Trevor Horn’s involvement with it. It’s actually quite a bit more interesting than I thought it was going to be!

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill GovierI’d like to dedicate this episode of the Yes Music Podcast to the memory of BRIAN HARTLEY. You won’t have known him in person but you certainly know his work. Brian was a school friend of mine and was a brilliant cartoonist and illustrator even then. He went on to design graphics for video games but for us, he will always be best known for creating the new YMP logo and associated artwork. He died shortly before Christmas at the age of 49 and all will miss him terribly. Rest In Peace, Brian.

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill GovierThis week Mark and I had planned to start looking at the next exodus from the band. Yes had essentially disbanded after the Drama tour had come to an end and so we have the opportunity to examine what each member of the band did next - Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, Steve Howe, Alan White and Chris Squire. First we were going to listen to the next chapter in Squire and White’s journey - so that’s XYZ with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page - a project which didn’t go anywhere in the end but did produce some demos and, particularly relevant at this time of year, Ru WIth The Fox, the duo’s strangely unsuccessful Christmas single.Unfortunately, Mark has not been well this week so we’ve decided to shelve this episode until next week. In the meantime, I’ve put together a selection of clips from the Yes authors we have spoken to in 2019’s Patreon group. If you’ve already heard or actually seen these because you are a Patron, then I hope you enjoy hearing some highlights again and if you have been wondering whether to start helping the YMP out financially, maybe this will tip you over the edge - one way or the other!Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!If you would like to support the Yes Music Podcast financially and also have access to exclusive activity and opportunities, there is a special page you can use to sign up and 2019 is the time to join us:Become a Patron!http://kck.st/32F205dKickstarter for Lobate Scarp's 2nd Studio Album !Show notes and links:YMP Patrons:Producers:Jeffrey CreceliusPreston FrazierBill Govier andWayne HallPatrons:Aaron SteelmanDave OwenMark James LangPaul TomeiJoost MaglevDavid HeydenMartin KjellbergPaul WilsonBob MartilottaLindMichael O'ConnorPeter HearndenBrian SullivanDavid PannellMiguel FalcãoLobate ScarpChris BandiniDavid WatkinsonNeal KaforeyRachel HadawayCraig EstenesDemPaul HailesMark 'Zarkol' BaggsDoug CurranRobert NasirFergus CubbageScott ColomboFred BarringerScott Smith Geoff BailieSimon Barrow Geoffrey MasonStephen LambeGuy R DeRomeSteve DillHenrik AntonssonSteve PerryHogne Bø PettersenSteve RodeIanNBSteve ScottJamie McQuinnSteven RoehrKen FullerTerence SadlerJeremy NorthTim StannardJimTodd DudleyJohn CowanTony HandleyJohn HoldenJoseph CottrellJohn ParryKeith HoisingtonJohn ThomsonWilliam Hayes Barry GorskyMichael HanderhanRobert and DavidPlease subscribe!If you are still listening to the podcast on the website, please consider subscribing so you don’t risk missing anything:Subscribe with RSSSubscribe on AndroidListen on StitcherTheme music The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.

In the short time that The Warriors existed ‐ from 1963 to 1967 ‐ they released a single, appeared on TV and in a movie and spent a year following in the Beatles' footsteps as a working group in Germany. As well as providing a complete history of The Warriors, this book also follows Jon's subsequent career in London, via appearances with Gun and his brief solo career as Hans Christian. He finally met Chris Squire and found a home in Mabel Greer's Toyshop, as that group gradually morphed into Yes during the summer of 1968. The book includes new interviews with Jon and many members of The Warriors, who were in the band through its various line‐up changes, most for the very first time. It also features a newly‐researched family tree, never before seen photographs, both of the Warriors and the first line up of Yes, plus many items of memorabilia and an exclusive look into the band’s diaries. It closes with a comprehensive discography and a collectables section. Initially, the book will only be available only in a limited hardback edition of 250, priced £25. All copies will be numbered and signed by the author, David Watkinson, and will be made exclusively available via Burning Shed. The book is 224 pages and features over 200 photographs, most unseen for over 50 years. A paperback edition will be published in Europe on March 27th 2020, and June 26th in the USA.

Dylan HoweProduced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier It’s somewhat of a bumper episode this week. Later on we speak to Dylan Howe about the Steve Howe Trio album, New Frontier and Mark and I also reveal the answers and winners of the Epic Competition but before all that, there is some pretty amazing breaking news which arrived literally minutes before I recorded today. It’s in the form of a press release: Legendary Prog Rock band YES reveals four previously unreleased 2010 recordings, on the new ‘From A Page’ five piece mini-box set, personally overseen by ex-member Oliver Wakeman. OUT NOW!The New Yes album!25th October 2019: YES has returned to the recordings made in late 2010 to mix the four completed tracks as new content for a miniature five piece box set of recordings from that era. The box features two booklets and three discs containing the four studio tracks and Live From Lyon 2009, all of which were recorded by the line-up of Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Alan White, Benoit David and Oliver Wakeman: 1. To The Moment (6:09) 2. Words on a Page (6:18) 3. From the Turn of a Card (3:24) 4. The Gift of Love (9:52) Oliver Wakeman has personally overseen the preparation of the previously unreleased recordings which were mixed by Karl Groom and mastered by Mike Pietrini. The box and one of the booklets features new artwork by Roger Dean, and the graphic design was undertaken by Oliver Wakeman, plus the set also includes his newly written liner notes about his time in the band. The double CD album LiveFrom Lyon was first released in 2010 and this edition restores “Second Initial” which was previously a Japanese only bonus track. The booklet for Live From Lyon has been re-designed and expanded. Steve Howe described the project as “Good music never goes away or lays down to the commercial pressures that exist. Oliver's compositions, “To the Moment”, “Words on a Page” and “From the Turn of a Card” demonstrate his musicality and talents, while working together on it's arrangement “The Gift of Love” explores the collaborative essence of Yes, pooling ideas and then working together on its arrangement, whilst utilising all of its many themes and variations. Karl Groom and Roger Dean both contributed their skills towards making this a worthy further 'page' in Yes' long and diverse musical adventures." Oliver Wakeman says: “Following Chris Squire’s passing, I felt that the new music we'd created, but not released, should be heard and not sit unfinished on a shelf. And with Steve, Alan and Benoit's enthusiasm for the project, I am proud to know that this music will get to see the light of day and, hopefully, be enjoyed by YES fans as a piece of previously hidden Yes history.” Alan White added: “I'm pleased to see a gem of YES history coming to fruition in the form of this mini box set. New songs from the past and I'm hoping we can find even more music in the archives for future releases.” The set is IN STOCK NOW and exclusively available from the band’s own Burning Shed store and it cannot be bought in the shops or on Amazon. The mini-box set and a vinyl release of the new songs are exclusively available here: https://burningshed.com/store/yesListen to the episode and let us know what you think!How was the Steve Howe Trio album put together?Who is that amazing Hammond player?Any live dates?If you would like to support the Yes Music Podcast financially and also have access to exclusive activity and opportunities, there is a special page you can use to sign up and 2019 is the time to join us:Become a Patron!Show notes and links:The music from Dylan's suggestions:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fC1qSxpmKohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQKt7DTKyJUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOwW9j0YzgMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLpAmHEjDIshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDJPoeT0cZohttps://www.youtube.

Song of SevenProduced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill GovierThe huge news this week is certainly the 2020 UK tour announcement including the fact that the band will be playing the whole of Relayer which is something fans, not least us here on the YMP, have been hoping for for a long time. Mark and I will be talking quite a bit about what this news means in our Two Pence later it the episode.Before that, we are completing our look at what Jon Anderson did as soon as he left Yes in 1980 which means listening to Song of Seven and seeing what we think of it now.Listen and let us know what you think!Were you expecting Jon's second solo album to be Olias 2?If so were you upset?What's this album like though?If you would like to support the Yes Music Podcast financially and also have access to exclusive activity and opportunities, there is a special page you can use to sign up and 2019 is the time to join us:Become a Patron!Show notes and links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YelYHltApsQDOWNES BRAIDE ASSOCIATIONReturn with 2CD/DVD Box setLive in England (2018)and New UK Concert Date2nd October 2019: Downes Braide Association (DBA) have announced the release of Live In England a 2CD/DVD Box set on 29th November 2019 via Cherry Red Records. A double-vinyl edition will be released on 14th February. The album features stunning artwork by the legendary Roger Dean. Live In England, the fourth album release by the duo Geoff Downes and Chris Braide, is their first live album, recorded at their first ever concert at Trading Boundaries, East Sussex, on 28th September 2108. Whilst DBA was conceived as a studio project, the concert was a great success and features material from the DBA albums Suburban Ghosts (2015) and Skyscraper Souls (2017) together with tracks from Geoff Downes’ time with Buggles and Asia. Geoff Downes (keyboards), Chris Braide (vocals) and Andy Hodge (bass guitar), were joined on stage by David Colquhoun (guitars) and special guest Big Big Train’s David Longdon (vocals, flute). The show was narrated by Barney Ashton Bullock. Geoff Downes commented: “It was a most memorable evening, last September, at the iconic Trading Boundaries venue and we believe we have managed to capture the magic of the whole night. Chris and I were supported by some amazing musicians – Andy Hodge, Dave Colquhoun and David Longdon and narrated by Barney Ashton Bullock. As well as songs from our albums we have added some extra special treats and we hope it gives a rare insight into the special songwriting and production relationship Chris and I have developed over the last decade on the journey that is DBA.“We sincerely hope you enjoy the music with us, from this very special occasion, in a raw and live setting, and we thank you for all your support." Chris Braide says: “After many requests for DBA to perform live, Geoff and myself, along with the excellent musicianship of Andy Hodge, Dave Colquhoun, David Longdon, Barney Ashton Bullock, finally took to the stage for the first time at the stunning Trading Boundaries. It was a wonderful evening surrounded by friends and the beautiful English countryside and this live album is a great document of that magical evening and encapsulates what DBA is all about.” The full track-listing is: CD1 Prelude Skyscraper Souls Machinery Of Fate Live Twice Vanity Suburban Ghosts Bolero / Video Killed The Radio Star Glacier Girl Angel On Your Shoulder CD2 Tomorrow Lighthouse Skin Deep Darker Times Finale Heat Of The Moment The Smile Has Left Your Eyes Dreaming Of England DVD Prelude Skyscraper Souls Machinery Of Fate Live Twice Vanity Suburban Ghosts Bolero / Video Killed The Radio Star Glacier Girl Angel On Your Shoulder Tomorrow Lighthouse Skin Deep Darker Times Finale Heat Of The Moment The Smile Has Left Your Eyes Dreaming Of England You can pre-order the album here: https://geni.

We are gearing up for next week’s 400th episode of the show which will feature a great interview with someone you’ll recognise as well as an epic competition to win lots of Yes and Yes related items. You’ll need to have your Yes thinking caps on to stand a chance of winning something. Lots more on that next week.

This week Mark and I are starting our look at what the next musician to leave the group got up to next so we will be discussing Patrick Moraz a little later on.
Also, Jon Anderson has released the first chapter of his memoires this week so Mark and I have a chat about that in our two pence segment.

What did Moraz do next?Was it in the same style as Story of I?Is Anderson's autobiography going to be any good?

Some of my items from around this time
After the news last week that the 2003 Glastonbury Festival concert is to be released as a CD next year, Mark and I decided to watch the DVD version and see if we thought it will be worth it. It’s a wonderful performance and a very interesting moment in Yes history so have a listen to our views and add your own on the show notes for this week.
Listen and let us know what you think!
Is this release worth it?What were the circumstances of Yes' only performance at Glastonbury?How does the performance sound?

Here we are, back with part 2 or (b) of our look at what Rick Wakeman did next after the first time he left Yes. SO we've been listening to The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table!
Also, we take the opportunity to congratulate Yes on listening to episodes of the YMP and following our advice on the new album ;-)
Listen and let us know what you think!
Is this record just excessive?How does Wakeman integrate such huge forces into something coherent?Has it stood the test of time?

In a slightly 'bare bones' episode, we start our look at the next man to leave the band, Rick Wakeman. What did he do next?
Also, we were delighted to welcome Dave Watkinson back onto the show to talk about his long-awaited new book about Jon Anderson's time before Yes which also includes the earliest days of the world's greatest progressive rock band. It sounds amazing!
Listen and let us know what you think!
What did Rick Wakeman do next and why?Is Rick the definition of Prog excess?When will we get to see Dave's new Jon Anderson and The Warriors book?

Dave Watkinson’s Jon Anderson book update
Yes and Jon Anderson fans:
I have some good and exciting news about my forthcoming book, Jon Anderson and The Warriors – The Road to Yes.
With a recent publisher change to www.sonicbondpublishing.com the release date is expected to be around October 2019.
The first special limited-edition book will ONLY be available from www.burningshed.com however, it is NOT quite ready to order yet!
The limited number (250 worldwide) hardback edition with dust jacket will come signed by the author.
The book tells the story of Jon Anderson’s journey from Lancashire England with his first ever band The Warriors to the start of Yes in 1968.
It includes new interviews with Jon and the band members, a family tree, rare and never-before-seen photographs of both The Warriors and Yes, tour dates, memorabilia and a collectables section. This is the most complete book on these early exciting and crazy years.
Supported by a web page that will go live on the day of release. This features their UK tour dates from 1960 – 66, including notations and more, coming from the original band members diaries.
More details to follow on when the book can be ordered. NOT AVAILABLE YET.
2020 will see a paperback version available.
A thrilling bonus for 2020, the recently discovered unreleased demo tracks by The Warriors will also be released. These are the earliest known recordings of Jon performing.
All the best
David Watkinson

Gates and Tim Morse's Yesstories
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier, Bill Govier and VR Hoisington
This week we have a slightly different format to the episode. Mark and I enjoyed listening to three different live versions of Gates of Derilium a few weeks ago but we didn’t get around to posting our thoughts - so that’s what you’ll hear first.
Then, we did a great interview with Yes book author, Tim Morse, this week for the Patreon community and I wanted to include some of that here because Tim once collaborated with Jon Anderson and also recently released his third solo album so there’s plenty to learn about him.
So I’ve clipped out a few parts of our conversation to play here and if you want to see the complete video of our chat, complete with various drinking vessels and Tim’s cat, you need to head over to Patreon. If you are already a patron, it’s all there for you and if you have yet to join in, you can do that at the same time.
Listen and let us know what you think!
What do different performances of Gates sound like?What Jon Anderson piece did Tim Morse work on?Is Tim going to update his great book, Yesstories?

Miguel Bass!
This week we had a great conversation with Miguel Falcão about his now annual PlayForChris video project and also his own Yes bass covers - a long time Listerine (oops!) listener and several times interviewee we always love speaking to Miguel.
We also have a two pence from Mark which might prove controversial - and that’s of course the whole idea.

What is #PlayForChris all about?Why are fans so keen to take part?Why does Steve Howe do that??

This week, Mark and I talk about the Royal Affair Setlist - so, obviously, if you don’t like spoilers, don’t listen!
Also, we mention later on that Mark is going to a Yes concert next week which we will them talk about - but it’s actually 2 weeks until that event so there will be something different from us in between.

This week we abandoned our original plans because we felt it was important to talk about the news surrounding the Yes Summer 2019 North American trip which is called the Royal Affair Tour. Mark and I give our views on that so this episode is a little bit different in format to usual as a result.
Listen and let us know what you think!
Who or what is Yasia?Who or what is Bumblefoot?Arthur Brown? Really?

Remastered and Expanded ABWH

Also, Mark suggests a 2 pence topic on videos...
Listen and let us know what you think!
ABWH - is it Yes, is it a new band, is it an Anderson solo project?How was the album written?Should it now be regarded as part of Yes' discography?

1000 Hands Website
This week Mark and I got our hands on 1000 hands - or at least our virtual hands as we received a review download copy. So we have pooled our initial reactions to the music and that’s coming up in a moment.
Also, we have a 2 pence on the Anderson final Yes project rumours so it’s an Anderson rich episode.
Listen and let us know what you think!
How does Anderson fit 1000 hands on one album?Can you hear the special guests?Does the collaboration between Anderson and Howe point towards Union II?

Where it all began!
This week Mark and I have been listening to the first Yes album to link in with it being released on coloured vinyl for this year’s Record Store Day 50 years after first appearing. We also consider what we would release for Record Store Day if it was up to us.
Listen and let us know what you think!
How does the first album sound after 50 years?What can we detect which foreshadows later developments?Do we like it?

What was 'Open'How did I miss the release?What's the music like?

Just one of the Wakemen featured this week
This week I discovered something I didn't know about Yes...wow! So as a result Mark and I listened to 3 different versions of Starship Trooper featuring not 2 but 3 different Wakemen!
Also, we approach a difficult 2 Pence about the quality of Yes performance on the recent Cruise to the Edge.
Listen and let us know what you think!
Did all three Wakemen really play for Yes?What's the Adam story?Who played better?

Peter Banks
After seeing Fernando Perdomo's Peter Banks replica Yes guitar, we were inspired to watch some early Yes videos featuring the original guitarist.
We also find time for a quick 2 Pence on a single song we would both like to add to the Cruise to the Edge set list!
What is Peter Banks doing on stage?Could he have continued with the band?What did the other members think of him?

The album from White
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier, Bill Govier and VR Hoisington
This week, we listen to a little-known album which should be better known to all Yes fans, White by the Alan White-led band, White. We also have time for the return of our two pence segment and we consider whether Jon Anderson should be concentrating on 1000 Hands or ARW...!
What is the White album like? Why is it so obscure? What's the story of the band?

Ken Fuller's gift!
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
This week Mark and I take a look at Trevor Rabin’s collection of demos and early versions entitled 90124. It’s a fascinating set of proto-yes music, if you can get hold of a copy. I am indebted to Ken Fuller for mine.
Also this week, we think about how Yes or ARW could keep in contact with their fans better.
What are these early demos like? What can we learn about Yes songs from them? What clues to the influence of Rabin do they contain?

Syndestructible
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
In our somewhat delayed episode, Mark and I speak to The Syn front man, Steve Nardelli this week. It was an amazing conversation which delved deeply into all parts of The Syn's story including a residency at The Marquee Club, supporting Jimi Hendrix, inventing the Rock Opera, trying to get Chris Squire to turn up to gigs on time and the influence of Peter Banks amongst many other topics.
Also this week, I announce the dramatic changes to the Yes Music Podcast which are planned for 2019. You can't afford to miss this information. Next year is going to be very special.
What were Chris Squire and Peter Banks like to work with? Which Welsh icon was kind to the band? Why couldn't The Syn get out of their dressing room on the night Jimi Hendrix came to town?

Yesterday and Today
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
This week Mark and I speak at length and in depth to Dave Kerzner all about his Yes 50th Tribute Album Yesterday and Today which we reviewed a couple of weeks ago. Do listen right to the end of the interview because Dave also shares a tiny snippet of his forthcoming album which features, amongst many others, Jon Davison on lead vocals - and bass? Dave tells us about the remarkable concept for the new album and the story which underpins it - it’s fascinating stuff.
Why did Dave choose these Yes songs? Who was he unable to persuade to take part? What's Dave new album all about?

A Life in Yes
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
This week we listen to Billy Sherwood’s excellent Chris Squire Tribute album, A life in Yes. We also discuss what Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman could have brought to that album if things had been very different - which is a topic suggested by Steven Shinder and not Daniel Krohn as I say later on in the episode - sorry Steven.
Who is on this collection? How do the versions sound? Is it a fitting tribute to Chris Squire?

Yesterday and TodayProduced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
This week Mark and I listen to the new 50th Anniversary Tribute collection from Dave Kerzner, Yesterday and Today. We also consider in our two pence whether Yes could do something similar.
Who is on this collection? How do the versions sound? Is it a fitting tribute to 50 years of the world's greatest progressive rock band? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think!

Time and a Word
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
While we wait for the German version re-issue of Time and a Word on Record Store Day Black Friday, we decided to listen again to the original record and choose our favourite songs. We also muse on the recent trend of private pressings in our 2 pence segment.
What 3 singles did we choose? What can we tell about Jon Anderson's solo work? Are there any clues to 1000 Hands?

Leave It on 12 inch single
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
As it's half term for me and my family this week, I dipped into the archives and found the episode I released almost exactly 5 years ago. It was recorded in my car as I travelled to Nottingham for work. It tells the story of finding a Leave It 12 inch single in a charity shop and includes my thoughts on the item. It's a bit of a blast from the past!
Where did I come across this item? Is it any good? What was the point of 12 inch singles?

Jon Anderson Solo
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
In a week when Jon Anderson's new solo album 1000 Hands is released for pre-order, we look at 3 old Anderson singles. It's a random selection but hopefully interesting, all the same. We also talk about the Yes plans for Japan in our 2 pence segment.
What 3 singles did we choose? What can we tell about Jon Anderson's solo work? Are there any clues to 1000 Hands?

Yessongs - the movie
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
Yessongs the movie - a different beast to the album of the same name, this is an iconic record of the band arguably at their peak. This week, Mark and I watch the film on DVD/Blu-ray and see what we think from the vantage point of 2018. There's also a Roger Dean/Yes 2 pence.
Does the visual aspect of Yessongs outweigh the dodgy audio? How does the film stand the test of time? How is the song selection?

Tormato!
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
Tormato, undeniably the greatest Yes album ;-) celebrated 40 years recently. So this week, Mark and I listen again to the much-maligned record to try and find out what everyone else seems to hate. We also dedicate our 2 pence to the 1978 'classic'.
Was the production really that bad? Are there any aspects people who don't listen are missing out on? Are there any decent songs?

DBA (Downes Braide Association) Perform Debut live show at Trading Boundaries on 28th Sept & Announce release of Remixed version of Suburban Ghosts
DBA - Skyscraper Souls
Geoff Downes and Chris Braide
26th September 2018: DBA (Downes Braide Association) perform their first ever live show at Trading Boundaries on Friday 28th September, with a special showcase for their latest album Skyscraper Souls. The evening is sponsored by Prog Magazine.
DBA is the musical collaboration between the legendary Geoff Downes and Chris Braide who joined forces as the result of their close friendship and passion for music. Bass player Andy Hodge, who worked on the Skyscraper Souls album will be joining DBA on the night. Other guests at Trading Boundaries will include David Longdon (Big Big Train) and David Colquhoun (Francis Dunnery, Go West). Barney Ashton Bullock (poet, songwriter; Andy Bell; Marc Almond) will be doing the narrative on the night.
DBA also announce the release of a remixed version of their critically acclaimed 2015 album Suburban Ghosts 2018 on 30th November. The album features new musicians and is remixed by Chris Braide and mastered by Mike Pietrini. Joining original band members Chris Braide (vocals, programming, piano, bass guitar, electric guitar, keyboards) and Geoff Downes – (programming, piano and keyboards) on the remix are: Patrick Howley - electric guitar, Dave Gregory - slide guitar, Lee Pomeroy - bass guitar, Andy Hodge - bass guitar and on Drums - Ash Soan.
Wherever musical history is made, Geoff Downes is there. From the first video ever shown on MTV, The Buggles’ Video Killed the Radio Star, Geoff continues to gain acclaim and break musical ground. He is a founding member of Asia whose album of the same name was the biggest selling in the world in 1982. Together with vocalist/bassist, the late John Wetton, they propelled the band’s global success. With the legendary YES, Geoff joined for the critically acclaimed album ‘Drama’ in 1980 and then re-joined for ‘Fly From Here’ in 2011. He continues to tour with both YES and Asia.
Christopher Braide is a multi-instrumentalist, Ivor Novello award-winning songwriter and producer who is based in Los Angeles. He is known for his outstanding work with Sia, Lana Del Rey, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Marc Almond, David Guetta and many more. GQ magazine named him one of the most successful and influential men in the music industry under 40, and he continues to work with A-listers on both sides of the Atlantic.
DBA is a labour of love for both Downes and Braide and together they form a unique combination. They have produced three critically acclaimed albums with ‘Skyscraper Souls’ being their most ambitious yet, it features the talents not only of the principals but also guest stars Marc Almond, Kate Pierson (B-52s), Andy Partridge (XTC), Ash Soan (The Voice) and David Longdon (Big Big Train).
Chris Braide states: “Working with Geoff on the Skyscraper Souls album and its two predecessors has reacquainted me with the kind of music I love. Epic and euphoric.
Songs from Tsongas DVD
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
This week Mark and I have been considering Songs From Tsongas in order to re-live the last time Howe, White, Anderson and Wakeman were together on stage along with the late great Chris Squire. With the recent ARW and Yes live offerings perhaps only offering us part of the story, does Songs from Tsongas now seem like the full picture?
Was it better when the 'classic' lineup were with us? How does the acoustic section come over? How is the band interaction?

Bernstein and Yes?
As promised, here is the first of two short episodes during the time I'm off on holiday. I hope you enjoy finding out a bit about ARW's fist concerts of the new leg of their tour and also about Leonard Bernstein's Yes connections! Thanks to Paul Raybould and Jeremy North!

After thinking about Patrick Moraz last week, this week we've turned our attention to what happened after he left the band. Rick Wakeman returned and Going for the One was created. We listened to the studio recordings and the live recordings of the three Going for the One songs on Yesshows and discussed what happened when Yes changed once again.
There's also time for a two pence segment on the newly-release YouTube video of the first full song from Yes featuring ARW's forthcoming release - Live at the Apollo.
Wakeman returns - how does it go? Are we back to progressive rock rather then the jazz-fusion influenced Relayer? How do the new songs sound live? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think!

Relayer!
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
With the 'news' that Patrick Moraz might be joining Yes live in 2019 to play the whole of Relayer, Mark and I discuss the possibilities and challenges this presents. We listen to/watch recordings from when Moraz was in the band playing the songs from Relayer and then have a chat about it all.
How could Moraz be integrated into the current Yes band? What instrumentation is needed for Relayer? Are the songs similar to other Yes music?

Dr. Bill Bruford
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
I report back from the amazing YES 50 Plaque unveiling ceremony in London where I met Bill Bruford, members of Chris Squire's family, Chris Welch and many other Yes fans.
Mark and I chat about the significance of he event and there's a 2 pence about the Patrick Moraz Relayer rumours and how Yes could perform and record as a collective in the future.
How did the plaque unveiling go? Who turned up? Should we expand the idea of what Yes is?

Ken Fuller's programme!
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier Neither Mark nor I were able to get to the YES50 FanFest in Philadelphia but we took part as well as we could remotely. This week we are reflecting on some of the performances and the general feel we picked up remotely. We also have a two pence about whether Yes are playing too often these days.
Which Yes men were there? What was played? Was it a worthwhile event?

Heaven & Earth
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier We've (finally) reached the end of the Yes singles series with Heaven and Earth which didn't really have any proper singles at all. However, it does give us a chance to think about Yes' latest studio album again and we also have a bass focus in our 2 pence segment.
What's is it with Heaven and Earth? Were there any singles? Why was RTB used again?

Were there any singles from Fly From Here? Why was Oliver Wakeman not on this album? Was Trevor Horn an asset or too controlling?

Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier This week I'm preoccupied with arrangements for the family funeral but I managed to meet up with Mark to discuss a selection of Yes topics which I hope you will enjoy. Please do add your answers to the various questions I posed in the comments.
What's your favourite Yes memorabilia? What's your favourite album pre-1980? Yes or Time and a Word? ...and more!

In a week which was supposed to be a holiday for me, we actually managed to speak to Tom Brislin about his new band The Sea Within as well as about #YES50. Mark reviewed the self-titled album and we then got together to compare notes. Phew!
Is this the new sound of prog? How are the guests involved? What is Tom going to do in YES50??

Talk, Talk
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
We've reached Talk in our survey of Yes singles. It's a fairly sketchy picture but we know there was at least one single from this great album and possibly a couple more - as usual if you have copies of these singles, please do leave a comment int eh show notes!
In our Two pence segment we also have a chance to think about whether Yes have released too many live albums.
Was Talk a Trevor Rabin solo album? What were the singles? Was this album progressive?

Union - 8 Yes Men in harmony?
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
What was going on with Union? It's a question which has baffled fans and riled members of the band ever since the record was released. This week, we take a look at the singles from Union and talk a bit about the politics as well. There's also a contentious 2 pence about the forthcoming Steven Wilson mixes box set so get your commenting fingers ready!
Who is playing what on this album? Does anyone know? Does anyone care?

ABWH in all its wonderful variety
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
Depending on your point of view, this week we take a detour from Yes - or not. It's time to look at Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe and the singles from that self-titled album. There are plenty of variations to consider and we also have time to think a bit about Lee Pomeroy and ARW as well.
Is this Yes? Does it matter? What were the singles like?

Love Will Find A Way 7 in and 12 in
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
Big Generator took a long time to create but, fear not, this episode isn't quite as long as that process was. We look at the singles generated by Big Generator and we also consider what extras might be included on new studio albums today.
Was Big Generator as good as 90125? What about the singles? Is this more like Yes music?

90125 Singles
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
We are finally back to the YEs singles series and we have reached 90125. It's an amazing set of singles plus a plethora of different versions and remixes. We also have a chance to reflect on the YES Featuring ARW 50th Anniversary announcements - wow - it's quite an episode.
Why are the 90125 singles so good? What would Cinema have been like as a band? 12 inch dance remixes - what was the idea?

Show notes and links UK's Debut Album To Be Released On Limited Edition 180 Gram Vinyl
Exclusively To Record Store Day Participating Retailers
Los Angeles - Celebrating the 40th anniversary of UK's critically acclaimed self-titled debut record released on Polydor in 1978, Eddie Jobson is making this seminal album available on vinyl for the first time since its original release. It will be released on April 21st, and available exclusively to Record Store Day participating retailers worldwide. The record is pressed on 180 gram vinyl, and includes an 8 page full color booklet designed exclusively for this release. The album is remastered from the original tapes located at Abbey Road Studios in London, which is the same master that was used in the now out of print “Ultimate Collector's Edition” box set that compiled all the works of UK's 3 albums, along with rarities, live material and 5.1 versions across 18 discs.
“I'm pleased to recognize the 40th Anniversary of this seminal album with this carefully remastered vinyl release. This is now a legacy recording, made even more significant with the recent passing of both Wetton and Holdsworth, that I hope will represent a benchmark for future musicians.” - Eddie Jobson
The Music In October 1977 the new supergroup featuring Eddie Jobson, Bill Bruford, John Wetton and Allan Holdsworth entered the rehearsal room, each armed with a panoply of musical ideas. Each song, theme, part or riff was logged in, like a jigsaw piece, and so the organizing and arranging of the individual pieces began. External expectations were high, not just for what these four individual innovators might create together, but because Trident Studios in Soho was already booked to record the results of their highly anticipated collaboration.
The music of UK would be developed over several weeks. Wetton would reintroduce “Thirty Years,” a song first tried out with the Wakeman trio; Bruford brought in some harmonic, but mostly rhythmic ideas. Holdsworth's contributions revolved around his distinctive chord voicings, forming the foundation of such tracks as “Nevermore” and “Mental Medication.” Meanwhile, Jobson - the more formal composer of the group - brought in pages of musical notation that included the entire “In The Dead of Night” suite, minus vocal melody lines, but including “By The Light of Day” and the Zappa-influenced “Presto Vivace,” along with a complete version of “Alaska,” the verse of “Time To Kill” and half of “Nevermore.” The myriad musical ideas were painstakingly stitched together, mainly by Bruford and Jobson, but it would be Wetton's melodic and lyrical sense that would ultimately glue the disparate stylings into something resembling cohesive songs. Notwithstanding the considerable stylistic contributions of Holdsworth and Bruford, with a full sixty percent of the new album material emanating from Jobson's compositions, and with the addition of Wetton's vocal melodies and lyrics, the first UK album truly marked an auspicious beg...

This week I feed back from the amazing YES50 Fan Convention organised by Brian Neeson and Dave Watkinson. It was a fantastic day and I've tried to capture some of it to give you an idea of how it all went if you were unable to go.
Who turned up? Who played? What was the atmosphere like?

Symphony Hall, Birmingham
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
We are taking a break from the Yes singles episodes because of the YES50 celebrations over the next couple of weeks. In an unusual episode this week, Mark interviews me about my own YES50 concert experience in Birmingham. There's some time for a brief news section as well.
How was the Birmingham YES50 concert? Was the set list satisfying? How was Tales live?

Capture Light by John Holden
John Holden has created a wonderful album for his debut release, featuring, amongst many other excellent musicians, Billy Sherwood, Oliver Wakeman and Oliver Day. I spoke to John about his inspiration for the music as well as how he put it together - in musical as well as technical terms.
It's a great conversation and there are extracts from the album interspersed to whet your appetite!

Into The Lens single
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
It's Drama this week which fits in well with the forthcoming launch of Fly From Here - Return Trip at the #YES50 Fan Convention in London next week. Mark and I also get to bang on about the set list for the first two concerts of the #YES50 tour and there is a huge amount of news!
How does Into the Lens works as a single? Was it the only single from Drama? What was the B side?

Don't Kill The Whale
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier
We have reached 1978's Tormato in our survey of Yes singles which means listening to Don't Kill the Whale and couple of other songs.
There's also news of Yes' contribution to Record Store Day which has prompted a Two Pence section and there's a rising sense of excitement about #YES50!
Was Don't Kill The Whale the only single from Tormato? Is this really an irredeemably bad album? What are Yes thinking releasing 'that' album as a picture disc for Record Store Day?

Going For The One and its singles
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
We have reached Going For The One in our grand progress through the Yes singles so we listen to Wonderous Stories, Going For The One and their respective B sides as well as mentioning a few oddities!
The Two Pence section focuses on the new Trevor Horn re-working of Fly From Here - Return Trip which has us both quite excited.
Did the band deliberately write singles for Going For The One? Is Wonderous Stories the perfect Yes single? Are Awaken or Parallels really B sides?

Solo albums - yes I know there's one missing.
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
In a detour, we talk about the singles from the Solo albums Yes members produced after Relayer. I couldn't speak live to Mark this week due to work and family commitments but we still recorded our own thoughts.
Did all the solo albums produce a single? Are all of them equally as effective? Does Mark sing in this episode?

Relayer featuring Patrick Moraz
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
No singles were released from Tales From Topographic Oceans - unless you know differently...so we have skipped right along to Relayer and its single, Soon which had an edit of Sound Chaser on the B side. We also discuss Cruise to the Edge and there's plenty of other news as well.
What does Soon sound like, ripped out of its rightful place in Gates of Delirium? Sound Chaser as a B side? Really? Is there anything else which could have been released?

The iconic album
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
Close To The Edge is, for most fans and commentators, the pinnacle of progressive rock music but did it have as much success in single format? We discuss this and also the recent picture shared by Billy Sherwood of a post-Yes-rehearsal meal...
What were the singles from Close To The Edge? How did they compare to previous efforts? Was there a UK single this time?

Fragile produced just one single - Roundabout
Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
Fragile elevated the band further than ever before. Rick Wakeman joined and Roger Dean provided the iconic artwork. The single was Roundabout - perhaps 'the' classic song. We also have a 2 pence about ARW's plans for a huge 50th Anniversary concert...
How does the edited version of Roundabout work? What does Rick Wakeman add? No UK single?

The Yes Album with Tony Kaye in plaster
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.

The Secret - Mabel Greer's Toyshop
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
I wasn't able to record with Mark this week but I did manage to speak to Clive Bayley of Mabel Greer's Toyshop which morphed into Yes in 1968. The new album, The Secret, features the late, great Peter Banks on the title song and Clive explains how that came about. Mark also gives his recommendations for those interested in investigating what Peter Banks did next...
How does Peter Banks appear on this new album? What influenced are present in this record? Is Mabel Greer's Toyshop part of the Yes legacy?

Virgil and Steve Howe - Nexus
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
We announce the winner of the vinyl Topographic Drama competition and review the new Virgil and Steve Howe album, Nexus. It's a lovely collection. There's also time for a 2 pence about ARW headlining a festival in June 2018!
The pieces on the album were piano demos - how have they been finished off? Does the album work as a whole? Is it limited by being an instrumental record?

Yes 80s Output
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
As we wait for YES50, we took the opportunity to think about what 80s music could be played by Yes, as suggested by both Steve Howe and Geoff Downes. We also announce a COMPETITION to win a vinyl copy of Topgraphic Drama - Live Across America! Finally, there's a thought-provoking 2 pence...
From the 4 Yes albums released in the 80s what music might feature in YES50? What might be the determining factors? What songs from these albums have been performed since the 80s?

Survival - Beat Club 1969
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
I didn't get to see Rick Wakeman this week, due to a family emergency but we still managed to think about Survival and how it's been performed over the years. We watch the videos embedded below and then we consider who might also join Yes on stage for #YES50 next year in our 2 pence segment.
How was Survival performed back in 1969? How frequently has it appeared in set-lists since then? Is it a good song?

DBA3 - Skyscraper Souls
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
We managed to speak to Geoff Downes about his other new release - The Downes Braide Association's DBA3 - Skyscraper Souls. Mark and I go into a lot of detail about the album and then ask Geoff some questions about its construction and influences.
There's also time for a rather mischievous Yes and ARW 2 pence so something for everyone, we hope!
Is this DBA album a continuation of or a revolution from the last? Did Geoff ever meet any of the contributors? What is the writing process like?

YES-Topographic Drama
Produced by Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier.
We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Yes keyboard player Geoff Downes onto the show this week to talk about the forthcoming #Yes50 celebrations and the wonderful, new Topographic Drama - Live Across America album. Geoff shares his thoughts on the inclusion of Tony Kaye in the concerts on the 50th Anniversary tour and how he expects it to work. We also listen in depth to the new live album and share our thoughts on that.
What does the new album sound like? What are the performances like? How does Geoff see the Tony Kaye special guest situation working?

Going for the One
Produced by Preston Frazier, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
We listen to the extra songs on the expanded and remastered Going For The One reissue and Miguel Falcao gives us an in-depth look at the Chris Squire masterpiece, Amazing Grace. There's also a 2 pence on posthumous songs/albums.
Are any of the extra songs worth listening to? Why did Chris Squire shelve his solo for so long? What do you think about developing and releasing late Yes men's recordings?

After the excitement of episode 300, we are back with some more great Yes discussion - this time about the album covers we think are the most and least effective. There's also time for a 2 pence about ARW and their covers...
Which is the most effective Yes album cover? Which is the least effective? Is it all about Roger Dean?

Virgil Howe R.I.P.
After the terrible news of the passing of Steve Howe's younger son, Virgil, Mark and I thought it would be inappropriate to release a normal episode of the podcast this week. So instead, here's a brief statement of our shock and sadness at the death of Virgil Howe.
Produced by Preston Frazier, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
The last album in the main sequence turns 40 this year so we take another look at it this week. There's also the news of the 50th Anniversary and Mark reviews a Bill Bruford record.
What do we think of Going for the One today? Is the production good? What about live recordings?

Anthology 2 - Steve Howe
Produced by Preston Frazier, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
Our first 'proper' episode for a couple of weeks features the brilliant Steve Howe Anthology 2 as well as a two pence about ARW changing the set list (at last) and there are two Yestival reviews!
Can we hear the origins of Howe's style here? What are those 'backing tracks'? Is it a worthwhile collection?

I'm on holiday - again - this time to celebrate my son Edward getting into the university of his choice. So here's Preston Frasier, Mark and I discussing the recent 50th Anniversary pronouncement from Jon Anderson.
Also, we have a copy of Steve Howe's new Anthology 2 to give away thanks to Preston's generosity as part of the YMP 300th episode celebrations. All the details are in the episode. Thanks Preston!
Two Sides of Peter Banks
Produced by Preston Frazier, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
On social media this week there was a suggestion that Steve Howe has taken over Yes - in organisation and playing. So we investigate this claim by watching some live videos of 2017 and much earlier. Also, we have Preston Frazier with us to talk about his recent experience of Yestival and some two pences. Mark also continues his obsession with a review of Two Sides of Peter Banks.
Has Steve Howe taken over? Is he dominating Yes? What was it like at a Yestival concert?

Dan and Amanda
I was delighted when Daniel Krohn and his wife Amanda sent me their ideas for a concert featuring a song from every Yes album. Rather than letting it be hidden in a longer episode, here it is as a special episode of its own. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
Produced by Preston Frazier, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
Yestival is finally underway and so Mark and I watch some of the first crowd-shot videos which have emerged. Obviously, there are lots of spoilers so if you don't want to know the answer, look away now. We also go on a bit about a the second keyboard player on the 90125 tour in the two pence segment and Mark reviews Circa's latest -Valley of the Windmill.
How is Dylan Howe doing? What about the setlist? Has it all kicked off well?

Mark and I watch some of House of Yes - Live at House of Blues and also share some amazing news about Dylan Howe! There's also time for some other Two Pence discussion and Mark reviews Can't Look Away by Trevor Rabin.
Was the band live as good as they were in the studio? What will Dylan Howe bring to the band? What was Trevor Rabin doing in his solo work in the 80s?

What Yes music would go with which life event? This is a topic suggested by Jeffrey Crecelius and was great fun for Mark and me to discuss. There's also time for two Two Pences and Mark reviews the GTR album.
Titles or moods - which is best? Yes music for every occasion? Should we be interested in compilation albums?

Jon Anderson - Animation
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
It's back to the 1980s this week as we listen to Jon Anderson's third solo album, Animation. The two pence is about Roger Dean and his influence over the Yes music buying population.
Is Animation prog? What is Anderson trying to do? Would you buy a Yes album without a Roger Dean cover?

Levin Torn White album 2011
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
We enjoy listening to music neither of us has heard previously and which combines Yes (Alan White) with King Crimson (Tony Levin). It's an amazing album and well worth the time and effort to listen! Then we are joined by none other than Jeremy North for a 2 pence discussion all about when it would have been best for Yes to call it a day...you'll need to listen to understand why we were talking about this!
What kind of music do this supergroup create? Instrumental prog rock - why? If yes had given up after Close to the Edge, what would you miss?...and many other questions!

Epic Yes music is under the microscope this week. Also, Mark reviews One Live Badger!
Are there any epics post 1979? Are any good? What defines 'epic'?

Bill Bruford book
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
It was brilliant to be able to welcome Preston Frazier to the podcast this week to talk about Bill Bruford and Alan White. Mark and Kevin join with Preston to review the two drummers' contribution to the music of Yes over the years.
Which drummer is your favourite Yes skinman? Could Bruford have carried on in Yes? What about Union live and 'those' Simmons drums?

As it's half term holiday in the UK this week, I haven't been able to add all the 'bells and whistles' such as news and in-depth analysis to this episode but there was time to speak to bass maestro, Miguel Falcao, and Mark about Yes music and why it endures. Mark also reviews another Flash album - 'Out of Our Hands'. Back to normal next week I hope!
What is it about Yes music which means it has lasted for almost 50 years? What will make it endure further? What makes Yes music special?

A whole lot of Fish!
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
This week it was great to welcome long-time listener, Ken Fuller, onto the show. We listen to the bass master-work, The Fish, and its second iteration, Whitefish, from a variety of different Yes periods. We had a great time!
Which version is better? Bruford or White? How good was Squire?

My 90125 and 9012Live collection
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
We were delighted to welcome Joost Maglev onto the show this week to discuss 9012Live from 1985. We all really enjoyed this fantastic live concert film and the 80s fashions it contains! Mark also reviews the Patrick Moraz album 'Syrinx - Coexistence'.
How does the band look and sound on this film? Is ARW the same as Yes in the Rabin era? How did selling millions of records affect the live show?

The Steve Howe Album
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
We finish off listening to The Steve Howe Album this week and there's a bit of a difference of opinion about it! The two pence segment is about the news that Billy Sherwood is working on a new Yes live album and Mark reviews Trevor Rabin's solo outing, 'Wolf'. Plenty to get your teeth into...
Is side two as good as side one? How do the orchestral arrangements work? Who is this Vivaldi bloke anyway?

The Steve Howe Album
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
After looking at Yes keyboardists for a while, we are turning our attention to guitarists and this week we listen to side 1 of The Steve Howe Album. There's also a two pence about the 50th Anniversary and Mark reviews Flash's second record, 'In the Can'.
Does this album sound like Yes? Who are the guest musicians? How many guitars does Steve use?

90125 on vinyl for Record Store Day 2017!
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
If it was up to us, here are some songs we would like Yes and ARW to play in their Summer tours, 2017. There's also a two pence about what live albums we would like to see next and Mark reviews the Bill Bruford album - Earthworks.
Could there be a Yestival II featuring albums beyond Drama? What could ARW add to their setlist? Could the current Yes line up cope with really old songs?

Yes logo by Roger Dean - of course!
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
After a suggestion by Jeremy North, we look at live performances by Yes keyboard players including Kaye playing Wakeman and Wakeman playing Kaye. There's a great video doing the rounds of four Yes keyboard players playing the same Close to the Edge solo and it was a lot of fun to look at that carefully. Mark also reviews the debut Flash record which features Tony Kaye soon after he left Yes for the first time and we enter the dangerous waters of what Yes and ARW need to do (if anything) to legitimise their claim to the name of 'Yes'.
Who plays the best Close to the Edge solo? How do Rick Wakeman and Tony Kaye approach each other's parts? Which approaches work best?

We look at the first two Yes keyboard players in a week when they are both to be inducted into the Rock adn Roll Hall of Fame. We also talk about all the political insanity of this week as well as the brilliant highlights in the world of Yes!
Did Tony Kaye go as far as he could with the band? What did Rick Wakeman bring? Could Fragile or Close to the Edge been made with Tony Kaye?

An Ordinary Day by Projekt GEMINEYE
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
This week we feature Mark's new album, An Ordinary Day, and find out all about its creation. We also think about some Yes songs which we have grown to love despite starting off by hating them and Mark reviews his latest Patrick Moraz album, Change of Space.
What process did Mark go through to write the songs on the album? What are the influences in the music? Where did that amazing art work come from?

Self Titled by Patrick MorazProduced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
We look at the differences between Steve Howe and Trevor Rabin by listening to songs from Talk and Close to the Edge. Then we consider what it would be like if Anderson and Wakeman re-joined Yes in our two pence segment. Finally, Mark reviews Patrick Moraz' Self Titled album. Another packed episode!
How do the two guitarist differ in approach? Can Yes be Yes with Trevor Rabin? How does Howe achieve his sound?

Before the ARW concert on Monday night, Kevin and Mark discuss how the three musicians performed together when they were all in Yes for the Union tour. There's also a two-part two pence dealing with Asia and Geddy Lee and an album review from Mark of the compilation record, Tales From Yesterday. Wow!
What can Kevin expect fro ARW on Monday night? How did they get on live in 1991? What might be the differences now?

Jon Kirkman's Dialogue
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
I finally got my hands on Jon Kirkman's wonderful new book, Dialogue, this week. This episode is dedicated to exploring it. It's an absolute must-have for Yes fans!
What is new about this version of the Yes interviews book? Who provided a lot of the memorabilia? Is it worth the hefty price tag?

Citizen by Billy Sherwood
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.
It's half term holiday for me this week so the episode is slightly shorter than normal. However, Mark and I manage to think about the idea that everyone in Yes currently is a 'newcomer' if you stretch that concept as far as possible. Also, Mark reviews Citizen by Billy Sherwood and there's plenty of news.
What was the first studio-recorded moment of each of the current members of the band? Was each recorded debut as successful as the rest? Does it make a difference how much live playing goes on before a new member contributes to a studio album?

With Yes announcing that the next two albums to be given the 'Album Series' treatment are Tormato and Relayer, we take a listen to both and discuss what we think the issues and challenges are of playing these records live in 2017/18.
Mark also listens to the new Rick Wakeman album, Piano Portraits and there's a voice mail on the same subject from Bob Keeley. Finally, our 2 pence involves Alan White.
What is it about Tormato and Relayer that might be difficult to recreate live today? How will the current line-up cope with the 70s albums? Should they still be going for 'authenticity'?

Martin Popoff

We were delighted to be able to interview Yes book author, Martin Popoff, this week. 'Time and a Word - The Yes Story' is just one of his more than 50 music titles and we had a great chat about Yes members he has interviewed. Also, you can win a copy of Rick Wakeman's 'Two Sides of Yes' and Mark reviews Patrick Moraz' 'Out of the Sun'. There's even time for another vinyl segment and Mark looks at some Yes promotional albums this time.
Why did it take Martin so long to get to Yes? Who was the most memorable Yes member to interview? What's special about the format of this Yes book?

Mark also gets to 'geek out' about audio formats for listening to Yes music and there are clips from Mitch Lefon's recent interview with Alan White to enjoy.

Fish Out Of Water Deluxe Expanded Edition
Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon and Bill Govier.
We've reached the final record in our solo album survey and in some people's view it's the best, Fish Out Of Water by Chris Squire. There's also a 2 pence about 90125 and another ARW review!
Is this prog? Does it feel like a solo album? Is there a concept?

'The Story of I' by Patrick Moraz
Produced by Preston Frazier
This week Mark and Kevin look at The Story of I by Patrick Moraz. This is the third solo album from the 75/76 collection. The 2 Pence is about Kevin and Mark's choice of solo albums after this period and there are also a couple of listener voicemails and a written review of ARW to enjoy!
Does this keyboard-based album stand the test of time? How does it compare to the Howe and White efforts? Is there a theme or concept?

'Beginnings' by Steve Howe
Produced by Preston Frazier
This week we have reached Steve Howe's Beginnings in our survey of Yes members' solo albums. We also have a slightly exasperating 2 Pence about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and an ARW review from Ken Fuller.
Steve Howe sings all the lead vocals - why? Does this album hang together as a coherent whole? What would happen to ARW and Yes if the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Yes this time?

Ramshackled by Alan White
Produced by Preston Frazier
Mark and Kevin start a series on Yes members' solo albums with the Alan White album, Ramshackled. There's also news on a new YMP Classic Feed containing the archive of older episodes and the 2 pence segment is about ARW - and it's a bit controversial...
Why is Ramshackled the least well-known of the Yes solo albums? Is it possible to hear Alan White's influence? What style is the record?

Jon Anderson Prog God 2016

What's Fly From Here like in retrospect? What has Prog magazine to say about its new Prog God? Is there another Trevor Horn-produced album on the way?

Anderson Rabin and Wakeman are working on a new album. The last time Anderson and Wakeman worked on a Yes album together was Keys to Ascension 2 so Mark and I take this opportunity to think about the studio tracks which are collected on the Keystudio album.
Should the studio tracks have been assembled in this album? How does it compare to other studio albums? Should Keystudio be better known?
Listen to the episode then let me know what you think!

The most recent Yes studio album
There's a huge amount going on in the extended world of Yes but Mark and I take some time out to look back at the most recent studio album and re-assess its merits.
Were the band ready to make this album? Is there any progressive music on it? Should it be at the bottom of the Yes album list?

Keyboards have always been a controversial subject in Talk live - what will Wakeman do? Is Talk a good album? Yes live in Birmingham 2014 - how did it go?

I recorded this episode early in the week shortly before the news of Prince's death was announced. Another musical genius is gone. It's turning into a terrible year for our heroes.
On the show, I have a chat with Mark Anthony K about Yes current obsession with playing whole albums live and we come to some conclusions...or maybe not...take a listen and then let us know what you think.
Are all albums great in their entirety live? Should Yes persist with this approach? Should they also play a variety of other tracks?

Billy Sherwood
Thanks to Mark Anthony K, we both managed to speak to Billy Sherwood and I'm releasing this episode on Chris Squire's birthday. Billy talks a lot about his memories of Chris as well as his experience of playing with Yes and his new album, Citizen.
There is also a review from Mark Anthony K of Keys to Ascension I and a lovely recording of Deidre Nelson who is the partner of Yes author, David Watkinson. It's a lovely and unusual way to experience Jon Anderson's lyrics.
Is Billy looking forward to playing Drama and Fragile? What is the new album, Citizen, all about? What was it like to be part of Chris Squire's last recording?

CD donated by John Doyle 2016
John Doyle very kindly sent me his copy of Saxlife plays Yes - Total Sax Retain which is the brainchild of saxophonist, Jamison Smeltz. So this week I got to listen carefully to Yes classics arranged for saxophone quartet.
There is also a review from Mark Anthony K of Heaven and Earth.
How does Yes music sound when arranged for saxophone quartet? How were the tracks put together? Is this a good 'tribute' album?

It's back to look at Big Generator in a mini-series this week. Firstly, I consider some of the things the musicians said about the album afterwards.
Was this an easy album to make? Was the band overflowing with material? Was it a harmonious, easy process?

DVD purchased 2015
I watched a DVD of the Open Your Eyes Tour in 1998, featuring some great performances of classic and more modern Yes tracks. It was an enjoyable way to relax after some rather more frenetic and stressful recent experiences!
What difference does 17 years make to the performance? What do Billy Sherwood and Igor Khoroshev contribute? Are classics and the latest tracks equally good?

Jon Anderson
This week I spoke to Jon Anderson about the Anderson Ponty Band, their new album and Yes. I also announce the winners of 'Better Late Than Never'. It was an amazing privilege to speak to Jon and an opportunity I will never forget. Thank you, Jon.
Is it still exciting to be preparing for a tour? Is a lead violinist the same as a lead guitarist? Will you work with Yes again?

Anderson Ponty Band - Better Late Than Never
The 'Happening' I keep referring to was postponed again this week which only left me enough time to do a very short episode containing a review of ABWH by Mark Anthony K and the details of how to enter the Anderson Ponty Band competition to win one of two copies of the new album, 'Better Late Than Never'!
Send your competition entry to show@yesmusicpodcast.com What does Mark Anthony K think of ABWH? Was it really all peace and harmony in the band at the time?

Yes Magazine Volume 2 Number 2
In the absence of the 'happening' I was expecting this week, I have looked at another of Carl Coppage's brilliant Yes Magazine scans - this one from January 1990 when Trevor Rabin was leading 'Yes West' and ABWH were ebarking on a tour of the US.
What can we learn about Yes West vs. ABWH? Did it look like ABWH would continue into a second album? What about Rabin's Yes West? Were there long-term plans? Did they have a singer?

Jon Anderson
I approach the tomb of the forbidden subject and share my thoughts about whether Jon Anderson should be in Yes at the moment.
Is Yes actually Yes without Anderson? Should we forget about the current members? Will we ever see Anderson back in the band?

Anderson Ponty Band - Better Late Than Never
I was delighted to receive a review copy of the new album by the Anderson Ponty Band' 'Better Late Than Never' which includes several re-workings of Yes songs.
How do the new versions of Yes songs come over? Is the Anderson Ponty combination a productive one? How effective is the album as a package?

The Ladder, Ladder Tour programme and House of Blues DVD
After the review of The Ladder last week from Mark Anthony K, I thought I would find out a bit more about this time when Billy Sherwood was writing, recording and performing with the band. So I have looked at Jon Kirkham's 'Time and a Word - The Yes Interviews' book and a YouTube video of a concert fro the US Ladder Tour.
What did Billy Sherwood think of The Ladder? What can we learn about Sherwood's live performances from this YouTube video? How will Billy step into Chris' shoes?
Also this week, I received the press release about the AndersonPonty Band's new album and DVD.
Jon Anderson and Jean Luc Ponty
I read the whole press release in the episode but here's an extract:
One of the most eagerly awaited releases of 2015 by the AndersonPonty Band, featuring music icons Jon Anderson and Jean Luc Ponty, is scheduled to hit the streets early Fall 2015! “Better Late Than Never” is the new album taken from a live performance, and enhanced with innovative production. The package includes a bonus DVD featuring outstanding performances by the band captured in September 2014 at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, Colorado.
The AndersonPonty Band has created some breathtaking new musical compositions. “Better Late Than Never” also showcases rearrangements of classic YES hits like “Owner Of A Lonely Heart”, “Roundabout” and “Wonderous Stories”, as well as some of Jean Luc Ponty's beloved compositions, with Jon's lyrical vocals and melodies enhancing the music and creating a very special and unique sound such as “Infinite Mirage” a new song incorporating Jean Luc's classic tune “Mirage”.

Fish Out Of Water, Chris Squire
Many people have made tributes to the legacy of the legend, Chris Squire. Here are some of the most important and most affecting.
The great Chris Squire The incomparable Chris Squire. 1948 - 2015. "Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise." We will miss you terribly, Chris. Rest In Peace.
Fish Out Of Water, Chris Squire
I finally listen properly to Chris Squire's first solo album, Fish Out Of Water from 1975.
Is this the lost Yes album? Does it sound like Yes? What do Patrick Moraz and Bill Bruford add?

Who are these people? Why are they all standing together?
Every issue of the Yes Magazine captures a moment in Yes history in a fascinating way. Thanks to Carl Coppage, I am able to immerse myself in one of these moments this week.

There has never been a more appropriate time to consider the contribution of Chris Squire to the greatest progressive rock band in the world.

The Second YMP Quiz!
The one hundred and sixtieth episode of the Yes Music Podcast featuring the Second Yes Music Podcast Quiz!
How many Yes Alphabet questions can you answer? How much do you know about Yes album covers?
Listen to the episode and then submit your answers! Last time, Joost Maglev won the quiz - this time it could be you!
Questions:
Which letter I is the Young Rascals tune, which was given the Yes cover treatment in 1971 but only released in The Word Is Live boxed set many years later. Which letter G do I describe as “not an easy listen by any means but the order out of chaos which happens towards the end is masterfully handled with the acoustic guitar solo passage leading to a hauntingly beautiful melody.” Which D did I sum up like this: “A great artist and I think the gracious and generous way he accepted his departure of the band will always speak volumes about his integrity and how much he personally got out of the experience.” Who was Ken Brodie referring to in the letter Q episode when he said this - “"given those aborted sessions it makes him an interesting choice. If memory serves, I don't think some of the members had kind words for him in the years following the sessions. It always seems, though, the members of the band are good at fence-mending.” Which Letter S track did I describe like this - “The tender beauty of this song always sends shivers down my spine. For a real Squire treat listen to his quiet but perfectly-formed line as it climbs around the highest reaches of the instrument and then cascades down for the chorus. Kaye adds some engaging keyboards and it’s an immersive trip encompassing the best of the flower power era as well as the developing Yes aesthetic. A lovely song.” Which letter E track am I talking about when I say “This track only contains one official Yes man alongside arguably the only other bass player most Yes fans would be happy to have in the band if Chris Squire were ever to leave.” Which Letter P is this? “The band take the opportunity to emphasise the title by moving to a couple of different triple time feels, settling on an almost waltz beat after the more complex opening patterns. The lyrics talk about inside out and outside in, beautifully reinforcing the topsy-turvy arrangement." What letter B prompted me to ponder like this? “Maybe we can see the beginnings of the split between band members who wanted to go separate ways - those pushing for more rock-orientated, heavy songs and those attempting to pull things back in a more progressive direction (if that’s not a contradiction in terms).” The work of which letter M prompted me to say this? “His use of psychedelic colour palettes and shapes might make him a good fit for the band - at least in its late 60s origins but the cover of this album with its minimalist plain white background doesn’t really convey that feeling at all.” And finally, Which letter J did I point out had appeared twice in different band’s visual work but not played a note on any of their musical output? Which Yes album cover features icebergs and black and white creatures? Which Yes album cover was changed for US release due to the imagery used on the original? Which album cover was the first to feature the Roger Dean bubble logo? Name 1 album cover which features both the bubble Yes logo and the square, Japanese inspired one. Which album cover was originally intended to be reversible and so has the name of the album on both the back and the front? Most Yes album covers consist of paintings or other graphic elements but name one which also features at least one photograph. Which Roger Dean cover includes a real landmark from planet earth? Which album cover features a digitized world map? Which original album cover includes black and white photographic elements? Which album cover did Roger Dean say was supposed to look like leather?

New in July 2014 Transcript KM- Creating the new studio album, Heaven and Earth, seemed to be quite a complicated process with Yes alumnus, Billy Sherwood, on mixing duties after Roy Thomas Baker did the production. Are you happy with the results?
GD- Yeah I think so. I think that any album you do you come away from you really don't know what to make of it and certainly this one was no exception, really.

KM- So when you got into the studio what was it like working with Roy Thomas Baker?
GD- It was really good. I really got on with him very well. I saw a lot of the guy who produced the first two Asia albums, Mike Stone, [who] was his [RTB's] engineer for quite a few years, certainly all through the Queen period. So there were a lot of influences I could see that had affected Mike when he had been working with him [RTB] - some of the ways he recorded vocals, certain methodology of the actual recording pro...

Please get involved with the YMP e-book - for a copy of the guidelines, please see the full show notes below...
E-book As you probably know, we are planning a series of e-books covering the various stages of YES music and based around some of the Yes Music Podcast episodes.
Our first publication will cover the period from Tormato in 1978 to Talk in 1994 inclusive - a sixteen year span that saw many changes in the world’s greatest progressive rock band.
We are looking for contributions from YMP listeners in order to make this a community effort.
If you have anecdotes, images of the band or of memorabilia for inclusion in this e-book, we would love to include them.
Unfortunately, there’s a bit of information I need to give you now to make sure we all understand how we are going to run this project.
The e-books will be sold and ALL proceeds will be donated to an international music charity.
Before you submit anything, please note the following:
All material you send us must be owned by you and therefore your own copyright... this means for example that if you send us a photo, it must be YOU who took the photo and is therefore owned by you.
Please avoid sending photographs of standard album covers or other standard items - try and make your contribution as unusual as possible. We also don’t want to risk annoying any of the copyright holders of those original pieces of artwork - what we are really after is photos of treasured items you have in your collection, maybe even with you in the shot - so it’s obviously not an attempt to sell Roger Dean’s or anyone else’s artwork.
If you send an anecdote, make it first hand (it happened TO you or you were there when it happened and can vouch for it as a witness).
The e-book will be sold under what’s called a creative commons licence, so you will need to take a look at the details of that on the website to make sure you are happy with it.
This is a crowd-sourced, charity project so obviously, there will be no payment to anyone associated with these publications.
Everyone involved is donating their time, materials and expertise to create, edit and format the e-book but we may have to pay fees for online facilities to sell, distribute and collect monies from the sale of the e-book.
We will choose a distribution method that minimises these costs. All monies left after those costs will be donated to the chosen international music charity.
We have not yet finalised the price to purchasers of the e-book but intend it to be lower than the price of a single album on a well known download site.
We need to reserve the right to edit written material and to crop or edit photographic material as we see fit to ensure its appropriateness, or size, length or shape for publication.
We cannot return material to you so do not send actual(physical) items to us in the post, just send digital items via the following two ways:
by email to show@yesmusicpodcast.com (as long as the attachments aren’t too big) or via the upload a file link into which you can also put show@yesmusicpodcast.com
We will credit the material used in the e-book to you so please provide an exact form by which you would like to be credited in your accompanying email.
Here are some examples of how you may want to format your name for publication : Kevin Mulryne, or K. Mulryne, or Kevin M, or Kevin M from Atlanta:Georgia, or K Mulryne - London, England. It’s up to you.
The act of sending us the material commits you to agreeing with all of these points but does not in any way imply that we will us...

The amazing fan website, Forgotten Yesterdays
The one hundred and twelfth episode of the Yes Music Podcast featuring a fantastic interview with one of the most influential Yes Fans in the world, Steve Sullivan. He is one of the founders of the amazing fan site, ForgottenYesterdays.com and has been heavily involved in the Voices for Yes campaign to have Yes inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.
STOP PRESS -
Erratum from Steve - Keith Levene wasn't a member of the Sex Pistols, he was a co-founder with 'Johnny Rotten' (John Lydon) of Public Image Ltd., Lydon's post-Pistols band. Levene was also an early member of the Clash, though he was already out the band by the time they made their first album.
