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

Yes logo by Roger Dean - of course!

Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.

After a suggestion by Jeremy North, we look at live performances by Yes keyboard players including Kaye playing Wakeman and Wakeman playing Kaye. There's a great video doing the rounds of four Yes keyboard players playing the same Close to the Edge solo and it was a lot of fun to look at that carefully. Mark also reviews the debut Flash record which features Tony Kaye soon after he left Yes for the first time and we enter the dangerous waters of what Yes and ARW need to do (if anything) to legitimise their claim to the name of 'Yes'.

Who plays the best Close to the Edge solo?

How do Rick Wakeman and Tony Kaye approach each other's parts?

Which approaches work best?

It's the Easter holidays for me but I still managed to catch up with Mark about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction and the following re-naming antics. It was fantastic to have audio from the event from Ken Fuller and Michel Arsenault and also photographs from Bob Mantin - thanks to all! Mark also reviews a Bill Bruford record!

How did the induction go?

Who played?

What were the speeches like?

Citizen by Billy Sherwood

Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.

It's half term holiday for me this week so the episode is slightly shorter than normal. However, Mark and I manage to think about the idea that everyone in Yes currently is a 'newcomer' if you stretch that concept as far as possible. Also, Mark reviews Citizen by Billy Sherwood and there's plenty of news.

What was the first studio-recorded moment of each of the current members of the band?

Was each recorded debut as successful as the rest?

Does it make a difference how much live playing goes on before a new member contributes to a studio album?
