    Will 2025 be a great year for Yes? – with Henry Potts – 657

    Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Unfortunately, Mark was unwell this week so we wish him a speedy recovery. I'm sure he will be back with us next week. I did manage to speak to the Yes expert Henry Potts, however, about his recent blog post. Called 'What does 2025 hold for Yes fans?' it contains, in Henry's usual style, a huge amount of detail about all sorts of live and recorded Yes and Yes-related activity that may or may not see the light of day in 2025. As I say later on, if only half of what we talk about actually appears, it will indeed be a great year for Yes and associated artists. Many thanks to Henry who was as cheerful and generous as always, despite only having 24hrs notice of the recording. Henry's site is a veritable cornucopia of Yes and Yes-related information and is one of the longest-lived sources of Yes information on the internet, having been active since 1998! http://www.bondegezou.co.uk/wnyesm.htm * What is Yes likely to do in 2025? * What has already been announced? * What are past Yes members up to this year?

    6 reasons why Drama is a great Yes album – 656

    Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller It’s 2025 and Mark and I are back for another year of the Yes Music Podcast. According to an online tool, it’s 13 years 3 months 2 weeks and 6 days since I published episode 1. Wow. This episode focuses on Drama from 1980 - released 44 years 4 months 2 weeks and 5 days ago. Despite the shock of the dramatic lineup changes (Buggles Horn and Downes replacing Anderson and Wakeman) and the resulting initial dismissal of the album by some fans, the record is now amongst the most popular of all Yes albums. So why is Drama now regarded as a great Yes album? Mark and I have come up with our 6 reasons as you will hear in a few minutes. See if you agree and let us know in the comments for this episode. * Why can we even call this a Yes album? * What was the impact of The Buggles? * Does it look like a Yes album? More Drama!

    Stephen Lambe on his book – Rock Classics – Yes 90125 – 651

    In Production: Tales from Topographic OceansListening guide YesMusicBooks.com Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller We spoke to publisher and Yes author Stephen Lambe this week about his (relatively) recent book Rock Classics - Yes 90125. The book delves deeply into the story of the 1983 album that became Yes’ best selling record of all time and saw the rebirth of the band after the events following the Drama tour. It could all have been very different if Trevor Rabin, Chris Squire, Tony Kaye and Alan White had stuck with their original plans of creating a much more stadium rock orientated band called Cinema. Stephen Lambe helps us to discover the unsung hero of the album’s creation and the man who was responsible for bringing Jon Anderson back into the fold. Listen out for that later on in the episode and get hold of a copy of Stephen’s book at Burning Shed or your favourite retailer. * Who is the unsung hero of 90125? * Did the members of Cinema want it to morph into Yes? * What are the keys to the longevity of the album?
