    You’re playing my song! – 662

    Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week Mark and I consider 6 songs that were performed live really well by lineups of Yes that didn’t record them. With the revolving door policy of the band over the decades, there was a lot to choose from so see if we came up with anything you would have chosen yourself. Of course, as usual, we’d love to hear from you some of your own suggestions, so please do add those to the show notes for this week over at yesmusicpodcast.com * What have we chosen? * How do songs from different lineups sound live? * Who plays it better?

    David Watkinson, Roger Dean and Trading Boundaries – 661

    Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week I’m feeding back on my trip to Trading Boundaries to see what Dave Watkinson has put on display alongside the permanent Roger Dean exhibition there. I made a video of Dave showing me around and we both enthuse about all the amazing items. I then had a chance to chat with Mark about what he noticed on the video - of course it’s embedded into the show notes below. * What was on display? * Where and what is Trading Boundaries? * What has Paul Graf sent to Kevin?

    Yes stole The Gates of Delirium – 659

    Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller I received an interesting email from a listener this week. She asked if anyone was aware of the connections between a song by the Italian prog group PFM and Yes’ Gates of Delirium. I’ll explain more when I go through the email with Mark a little later on. Many thanks to the Patrons who gave their feedback on the topic and before you listen to Mark and my take, you may want to listen to the music involved. I’ve embedded the PFM and the Yes songs in the show notes below so head on over to yesmusicpodcast.com and see what you think - then please do add your thoughts to the comments section. * Did Yes copy the PFM song in Gates? * Who are PFM anyway? * Are there any connections between the bands?

    Trident Studios Tales with Jon Pickles – 658

    Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Mark was back this week and we welcomed YMP listener and Patron Jon Pickles onto the show to talk about the time he was a 'tea boy' at Trident Studios in London. You'll need to listen to the interview to hear all about it but Trident was the world-renowned studio where, amongst unnumbered highlights of rock music, Yes recorded overdubs for their first album, Queen recorded their first two albums and The Beatles recorded Let It Be and other seminal songs. Listen out for stories about Rick Wakeman, Bill Bruford, Trevor Horn and many more! A screenshot from the video below showing Trident Studios - note the control room above and the Bechstein Grand piano used by Rick Wakeman, Paul McCartney etc. * What did Jon have to do as a 'tea boy'? * Who did he meet and work with? * What was it like being in Soho in those days? Let us know if you agree with us!

    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!
