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?

Listen to the episode then let us know what you think!

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

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?
