Views, by Roger Dean - a gift from Conan

After a very kind gift from Conan J Robison, I am now the proud owner of 'Views' by Roger Dean. Published in 1975, this is an amazing book.

What else did Roger Dean do at the start of his career?

Is there a link between Roger Dean's art and Yes' music?

How much of Dean's work for Yes is covered in this book?

Big Generator vinyl purchased 2015In the second part of my Big Generator mini-series, I listen to the album this week. Do let me know what you think of this record now, so many years later.

Is it all 80s stadium rock?

Is there any prog in there at all?

How do the songs stand up today?

Big Generator vinyl purchased 2015

It's back to look at Big Generator in a mini-series this week. Firstly, I consider some of the things the musicians said about the album afterwards.

Was this an easy album to make?

Was the band overflowing with material?

Was it a harmonious, easy process?

Win a copy of the new Downes Braide Association album, 'Suburban Ghosts'!

Is this stuck in the 80s?

Is it prog?

Is it any good?

DVD purchased 2015

I watched a DVD of the Open Your Eyes Tour in 1998, featuring some great performances of classic and more modern Yes tracks. It was an enjoyable way to relax after some rather more frenetic and stressful recent experiences!

What difference does 17 years make to the performance?

What do Billy Sherwood and Igor Khoroshev contribute?

Are classics and the latest tracks equally good?

Jon Anderson

This week I spoke to Jon Anderson about the Anderson Ponty Band, their new album and Yes. I also announce the winners of 'Better Late Than Never'. It was an amazing privilege to speak to Jon and an opportunity I will never forget. Thank you, Jon.

Is it still exciting to be preparing for a tour?
