2022/02/26

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius I was on holiday this week so Mark and I couldn't get together to chat about this album but we did manage to record our own thoughts on what Benoit did next. See if you agree with us! What did Benoit do next? Is MYSTERY like Yes? Is this a good album? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

2022/02/11

Is this the last part of our What did they do next series? Probably…possibly…maybe not. In any event, we are going to stop for the moment after we have talked about what Benoit David did after leaving the band due to ill health in 2012. Apart from the tragic loss of Chris Squire and the resulting return of Billy Sherwood, the band has maintained the same lineup since Benoit left. While he was still touring with Yes, he was also working on an album for a different band - which one? Well, maybe it’s

2022/02/04

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius We went deep into the weeds again this week with Master of the Master Tapes, Brian Kehew, who produced the amazing live box set, Progeny, as well as working on the bonus tracks for the Tormato and Drama Expanded and Remastered CD releases in 2004. What governed the choices when creating Progeny? Is Progeny a 'better' collection of Yes live than Yessongs? What did Brian find in the vaults from the Tormato and Drama sessions?

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/01/28

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius This we are joined by prog aficionado, writer, publisher, compère and all-round great chap, Stephen Lambe to discuss many aspects of Gordon Giltrap and Oliver Wakeman's album, Ravens and Lullabies. Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a prog album? What did Stephen Lambe have to do with the album (if anything)? Is it any good? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

2022/01/21

This week it’s the first part of our next - and presumably last…maybe…what did they do next featuring the 2011-ish departure of keyboardist and true gentleman of prog, Oliver Wakeman. Mark and I discuss how and why Oliver left the band and what he did next in collaboration with another giant of the music world. We set you a task to listen to that project before next week’s episode, just like we will be doing and if you already know what we are talking about, please do leave your comments on the show

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius It was great to speak to Gerald Bassols from Spain this week all about his amazing book, The Musical Instruments of Progressive Rock which very much does what it says on the tin. Stay tuned for that conversation.

Hopes and desires for Yes in 2022 with Simon Barrow -...

Yes Music Podcast ·

2022/01/07

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius What should we expect from Yes in the coming year? Simon Barrow has some ideas as does Mark. We had a great conversation about the possibilities and our own, personal desires, partly based on the Facebook post by Daniel Krohn on the YMP Facebook page. As always, it was a delight to welcome the erudite and knowledgeable Simon back onto the show. Do watch out for at least two books from him - an updated version of Solid Mental Grace - Listening to the

2022/01/01

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius As we begin the 11th calendar year of the show, it’s time to take a look back at 2021. Mark and I have chosen a few clips each which remind us of the range and depth of Yes topics we have covered in the past 12 months. We hope you enjoy the selection - do let us know if your favourite is or isn’t included. Who did we interview in 2021? What did we learn'? What were the most memorable episodes?

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius 'IT'S CHRISTMAS' as yer man sings in that song (which doesn't feature in our festive collection). Mark and I select a few prog or prog-related Christmas songs to rank in another totally pointless but fun seasonal activity. Is your favourite in our selection? What is 'proggy'? What is Christmassy?

Mark and I met someone who can fill in a few more gaps in the Yes story this week. We managed to track down and speak to Peter Woolliscroft who was only a short time into his studio engineering career at Advision studio in London when Yes turned up to record Tormato. He shares his recollections of the sessions which are rich and extensive and it was a pleasure to welcome him to the show. Listen out for revelations about Tormato and a little bit about Peter’s extensive list of work with some of the

The 'flared trousers' of 70s drums - Chris Kimball...

Yes Music Podcast ·

2021/12/03

This week Mark and I spoke to Chris Kimball about a 70s oddity in the Yes instrumental arsenal - Alan White's North drums. After restoring, playing and recording with these strange objects, Chris is ideally placed to explain why they look so weird and why drummers like Alan White were interested in using them. It's another engrossing story from a very knowledgeable musician and it's packed with detail so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Why are North drums shaped like that? What were

Going For The One in the studio and live - 510

Yes Music Podcast ·

2021/11/26

This week Mark and I have had a great time re-watching 3 videos from the Going For The One era. As you may know, there is an extensive behind-the-scenes film of what went on at Mountain Studios in Montreux in 1976 and I was wondering if the feel of that process was evident in the following tour. So Mark suggested the film of Glasgow on that tour and I added the mash-up of the title song which takes film footage from several different concerts and matches it to a good quality soundtrack.

Stephen Lambe and David Watkinson - YES in the 1980s...

Yes Music Podcast ·

2021/11/19

As always, it was a sheer delight to welcome Stephen Lambe and David Watkinson back onto the show this week to talk about their latest collaboration, YES in the 1980s. It's a great book which goes into detail about the often tortuous journey of the band in the decade of excess. Solo albums and other groups closely associated with Yes are included in a volume which boasts 2 sets of full-colour photos as well as countless other illustrations, a lot of which are presented in printed format for the

Oliver Wakeman's Tales - 508

Yes Music Podcast ·

2021/11/12

It was a great pleasure to welcome back to the show former Yes keyboard player and prolific solo artist, Oliver Wakeman. We asked him about some of his latest releases including Dark Fables, Tales From Gaslight and his soundtrack to Yendor. It was particularly interesting to hear recollections of working with original Yes guitarist Peter Banks and Oliver also shared some remarkable tales from his Yes days including what happened when he first joined the band in Canada, what Chris Squire said to

What did they do next part 26b - Steve Howe - 507

Yes Music Podcast ·

2021/11/05

In this second part of our look at what Steve Howe did next, Mark and I listen to his solo album, Spectrum. It includes contributions from Tony Levin, Dylan Howe, Virgil Howe and Oliver Wakeman and features many fabulous examples of Steve's virtuosity and versatility. How does this rank among Steve's solo albums? What are the contributions of the 'guests' like? Is that 'Hour of Need'? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

What did they do next part 26a - Steve Howe - 506

Yes Music Podcast ·

2021/10/29

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius In a break from our very well-received technical episodes, Mark and I return this week to the what did they do next series. We are still in the so-called YES hiatus period of 2005-ish and we have just two band members yet to consider, the first being Steve Howe. SO we’ve taken a look around the various sources to see what Steve was up to at this point and one of the most useful was, perhaps unsurprisingly, his autobiography, All My Yesterdays. So,

2021/10/22

I asked our friend Miguel Falcão to tell me a bit about how Chris Squire achieved such a remarkable bass sound for Tormato. Instead of sending me a few bullet points, Miguel was kind enough to record a complete audio description of the technical minutiae of the master's solution. Mark and I listen to this amazing in-depth piece and discuss a few of the points Miguel makes. Many thanks to Miguel and if you haven't heard his staggeringly accurate Yes bass covers, then you are missing out a great

It was a great pleasure to speak to another dedicated Yes fan this week and one who has had the privilege to be involved with the new album, The Quest. Paul K Joyce provided the orchestrations for a number of the songs on the record and worked closely with Steve Howe as producer. Paul takes us through the story of how this all came about as well as his Yes story and some of the remarkable and unexpected turns his career has taken.

Yes and the rarest musical instrument in the world...

Yes Music Podcast ·

2021/10/08

This week we decided to go really deeply into the technical weeds of Yes and look at an instrument which appears on Tormato and not very many other places in the musical universe. We are joined by the remarkable Chris Dale who has devoted many years of his life to collecting and renovating this, rarest of all musical instruments, the Birotron. We discuss what Rick Wakeman had to do with this fascinating story, what the Birotron is and why it was never put into production despite 1000 musicians
