Why did Yes want...Rick Wakeman? Part 2 - 543

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/07/22

Produced by Ken Fuller, Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall After a period of ill health I’m finally back this week with the second part of our Why did Yes want Rick Wakeman feature. Many thanks to everyone who has sent wishes for a speedy recovery. We also have the final word from Simon Barrow on the CTTE 50th Anniversary UK and Irish tour and we start with some news from around the interwebs. What were the two previous albums from Strawbs like? Why was Rick fed up with that band? What were press and

Why did Yes want...Rick Wakeman Part 1 - 542

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/07/08

We are back almost to normal or what passes for normal in these parts this week. After the merry mayhem of the Yes UK and Irish tour celebrating CTTE’s 50th Anniversary, this week Mark and I return to our new-ish series trying to make semi-educated guesses about why Yes wanted to add new or different musicians to their fold. This time, we turn our excited attention to Rick Wakeman and consider what he was doing to attract the band’s attention. That’ll be fun. Before that we have the final tour diary

Yes Live at the Royal Albert Hall in 2022 - 539

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/06/23

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius I had an amazing time in London with new and old Yes friends on 21st June 2022. The concert was stunning and you'll hear me banging on about it in this episode. A magical evening of Yes music in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Close To The Edge which was performed perfectly to a full house at one of the most iconic of all venues. It's only the 10th time Yes have played at the RAH and it's also 10 years since Jon Davison joined the band.

This week we have the chance to talk about Yes live in concert for the first time in 3 years. Mark and I give our reactions to the setlist choices and then our roving reporter, Simon Barrow has sent in the first of his audio diary entries. He will be attending every show on the tour (apart from the warm up gig) and will be keeping us up-to-date as he goes. What have the first concerts been like? What is the setlist like? Will fans be able to get to the concerts next week?

Why did Yes want…Steve Howe? Part 2 - 537

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/06/10

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall We are all, as Yesfans, still reeling from the news of the death of the great Alan White and the forthcoming tour will sadly be a very different experience. This week we return to the second part of our examination of Steve Howe’s guitar work on Tomorrow’s self-titled album. There's also a chance to announce the winner of the amazing Asia in Asia box set. Stay tuned for that as well as a Happy Birthday to Mark!

This week we present our tributes to Alan White, Yes drummer for half a century, in the words of YMP Patrons and listeners. Please add your own tribute to the show notes for this week if you haven’t already done so.

2022/05/27

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius and Wayne Hall Next week’s YMP episode will be a proper tribute to Alan White so please add your contributions in the comments section below. This week, rather than a ‘standard’ episode we thought it would be appropriate to re-play our interview with Alan from January 2020. He was in fine form, as always and it was a joy to speak to him. ‘Legendary’ is an entirely apt description of this true gentleman, extraordinary musician and friend to all he encountered.

Just as I was preparing this week’s episode the news broke that Vangelis has died. A giant of the music world in so many different spheres, it’s a terrible loss. Most music fans will know that Jon and Vangelis was a highly significant collaboration but I am sure fewer know about the possibility of Vangelis becoming Yes’ keyboardist after Rick Wakeman left in 1974. He rehearsed with the band but it didn’t work out. However, he left his keyboard setup in place and Patrick Moraz used it to improvise

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we have the chance to review the amazing new box set from Bill Bruford. Mark and I are joined by the redoubtable Simon Barrow for the conversation. What is included and what is excluded? Is there a good selection from each of Bill's projects? Was Bill a rock drummer turned to jazz or the other way round? Take a listen to the episode and then let us know what you think!

2022/05/06

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I are starting a new series this week where we will bang on about the musicians who were tempted to join Yes and what they did previously which attracted the attention of the band. It’s a bit like a prequel to our ‘what did they do next’ series, if you see what I mean. Each topic will be in two parts as before so you will have a week (or sometimes more) to listen to the music yourself before Mark and I give our reactions to it. A lot more on

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius I'm still on holiday this week so I'm indebted to Simon Barrow, Robert Nasir and Mark Anthony K for stepping into the breach. I'm sure you will enjoy what they have to say - please do add your comments. What does Steven Wilson say about Yes in his new book? Has Robert enjoyed the recent episodes? What Close To The Edge insights has Mark for us? There's also a Two Pence from Mark for you to add your thoughts to.

First of all, many thanks to Dan and Steven Shinder for last week’s April Fool swap around - it was great fun and we look forward to doing some more sensible Yes conversations in the future. Oliver Wakeman is always one of our favourite guests on the YMP and this time we talk about Yes and his latest release - the Collaborations box set which is available from Burning Shed. It’s another engaging and insightful chat so do let us know what you think. What's in Oliver's new box set? What would Oliver

2022/03/25

It was great to speak to Dave Watkinson once again on the show this week. Some time ago he published an article on Yesworld.com all about the variety of music Yes have used to open their shows over 50 years and more. Mark and I very much enjoyed finding out more from Dave and here is the article - http://yesworld.com/yesshows-the-opening-music/yes-opening-music-year-guide/ After that conversation, there is a contribution from Daniel and Amanda Krohn with a different spin on the change from Relayer

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius Mark and I just about manage to stay in control of the ‘spirited’ Fernando Perdomo this week. Ask him about guitar tech and he will literally talk for hours - which is exactly what we want on the YMP of course. What we were left with are many fascinating insights into Steve Howe’s guitars and approaches, all based around the greatest Yes album, Tormato. Stay tuned for that hurricane of enthusiasm a little later. How did Howe get those sounds for Tormato

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius I was on the road this week but still managed to catch up with Mark and Henry Potts to discuss the news that Yes will not be playing Relayer on the upcoming tour but have opted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Close To The Edge instead. I was in a hotel room with just my laptop but this news was clearly too important to miss. Why has Relayer been shelved? Will we ever hear the full album live? Is it too soon to play Close To The Edge in its

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/03/04

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This week's episode once again features our resident walking vinyl encyclopedia, Mark but this time I have a chance to pick his brains about the murky world of deadwax. As you might imagine, I get out a couple of my copies of Tormato to see what I can find in the deadwax areas of those and Mark shares some fascinating insights into the production of Yes vinyl records. Doug Curran also sent in an example of one of his Yes rarities for us to decipher
