Yes - Best of the 80s - 604

Yes Music Podcast ·

2023/11/03

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller We took a break from Tales from Topographic Oceans this week to consider what Yes were up to in the 1980s. Across just four albums (if you are happy to call ABWH a Yes album), Yes music was somewhat different to what had come before. You are probably aware that our friends and YMP Patrons Stephen Lambe and Dave Watkinson wrote a whole book about Yes in the 1980s so don't forget to check that out if you don't already have a copy -

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Joseph Cottrell and Ken Fuller This week we are back to the epic in-depth study of Tales from Topographic Oceans. We asked the ever-generous drummer of Yes tribute band Total Mass Retain Joe Cass to join us to talk about Alan White’s contribution to the classic album. You won’t be surprised to hear that Joe managed to help us to uncover a wealth of detail about the percussion on the album and the musical and personal character of the late deeply missed Yes stickman

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Joseph Cottrell and Ken Fuller We had yet another lovely conversation with a relatively unsung hero of the Yes story this week. As you’ll hear, you have probably seen Jeff Cumins’ work, even if you don’t realise it. He has a long and distinguished career as an artist and illustrator and revealed fascinating insights that neither Mark nor I had heard before. I’m sure you’ll enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed talking to him. Do check out the images in this week’s

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week we spoke to the generous Peter D’Amore, the longtime Yes fan who spent 7 years making his own ‘Olias’ album, an indie/Prog 2-CD project. We talk about his music, his Yes influences and many aspects of the band including the latest album and the setlist that was played on the warm-up night a couple of days ago.

Sid wrote the sleeve notes for the Steven Wilson remix of Tales which was released by Panegyric in 2016. He also wrote the remarkable book, 'In the Court of King Crimson - An Observation over Fifty Years', so we were delighted to be able to ask him about the relationship between Crimson main man, Robert Fripp, and

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week we welcomed the ever-generous Geoff Downes onto the show.

Yes Music Podcast ·

2023/07/14

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I really enjoyed listening to/watching Oliver’s album/DVD ‘Coming To Town – Live In Katowice’. We were surprised by and delighted with the performances, the writing and the production. It’s a great set from a band firing on all cylinders! Is this all progressive rock? Does Oliver take the lead? How proficient are the others in the band?

Why did Yes want Oliver Wakeman? Part 1 - 589

Yes Music Podcast ·

2023/07/07

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Contrary to what I said last week, we are going to continue with our Why did Yes want series this week as we turn back slightly in time to Oliver Wakeman after we inadvertently got Benoit David in the wrong order last time. It was one of the most confusing periods of the band in terms of personnel so I have turned to interviews and accounts from those involved to try and get as close as possible to the truth - see if you agree

2023/06/23

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I return to our 'Why did Yes want...' series and it's time to consider Benoit David. Jon Anderson had been unwell and so the band needed to find what Chris Squire referred to as an 'understudy', presumably with the intention of Jon returning at some point. How did the band find Benoit? How did he know the music? What was he up to just before joining Yes? Let us know if you agree with us!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I talk about various different approaches Yes have had to their stage design over the decades.

Do let us know what Yes stage setups have been your favourites and why in the show notes for this week's episode. What is your favourite Yes stage setup? Do you like 3D sets? Are

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Unless you have already read my book, Yes The Tormato Story, you may not recognise the name Derek Dearden. However, you have certainly heard the results of his amazing technical wizardry. This is another deep dive episode but it also contains much of interest to any Yes fan. Derek was a delight to speak to when Mark and I interviewed him a few months ago and I’ve been keeping this fascinating interview under wraps so that
