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?

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. My theme music is not take from a live concert - I put it together from the following two creative commons sources: thanvannispen and archive.org

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?

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?

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?

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?
