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?

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

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?

Should we be interested in compilation albums?
