In a bumper double-feature episode (or something like that), Mark and I compare the Empire featuring Peter Banks version of Something’s Coming with the Yes studio version and we also indulge in a little bit of speculation about the forthcoming Yes album - and who doesn’t enjoy these kinds of guessing games? Well if you don’t, feel free to use the fast forward button.

 Anyway, it was a lot of fun listening to some very early Yes and what Peter Banks did when he revisited it himself in 1979. Videos of the 2 songs are available below of course.

How similar are the 2 versions of Something's Coming?

Does Peter Banks play it the same way he did with Yes?

What do we have in-store from Yes' forthcoming new album?

Let us know if you agree with us!

After we spoke about a forthcoming Washington DC exhibition that includes Roger Dean's Yessongs artwork, YMP listener Craig Tiren went along to see it. Here he is, suitable attired!

Theme music

The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts.
