First, we begin by addressing the passing of The Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, and reading words about him from Yes members. Then we delve into other news items pertaining to Yes members and associates. There's the news of Jon Anderson touring with The Band Geeks in March 2023, as well as an update on The Songs of Zamran: Son of Olias. After briefly touching upon an article about Trevor Horn remixing Seal's album and posts from Alan White and Billy Sherwood, we read out an update regarding the new release date for Lobate Scarp's next album, which features Davison and Sherwood. Then we share fun photos passed along by Oliver Wakeman (and mention Seyes), and talk about box sets from Bill Bruford and Asia. Lastly, brief Roger Dean updates.

Hello Yesshift listeners! This bonus episode is actually Drum Talk TV's Tribute to the Tributes! This series is hosted by Dan Shinder and Jason Gianni (drummer educator, author of The Drummer's Bible, drummer of The Ultimate Queen Celebration). The Yes tribute band Awaken is featured here, with their drummer Greg Bonasera joining the conversation! As you'll hear Steven explain in the opening narration, Dan's audio was not audible in the broadcast, so he's silent throughout, but Jason relays his questions and comments. You'll hear a nice breadth of Awaken performances in the clips that are included. Enjoy!
