  • This is described as a compilation – what’s on it?
  • What was the technology capable of in 1989?
  • Does this collection stand the test of time or is it simply a museum piece?

From a time when Yes was West and ABWH – Episode 195

Yes Magazine
Yes Magazine Volume 2 Number 2

In the absence of the ‘happening’ I was expecting this week, I have looked at another of Carl Coppage’s brilliant Yes Magazine scans – this one from January 1990 when Trevor Rabin was leading ‘Yes West’ and ABWH were ebarking on a tour of the US.

  • What can we learn about Yes West vs. ABWH?
  • Did it look like ABWH would continue into a second album?
  • What about Rabin’s Yes West? Were there long-term plans? Did they have a singer?

Listen to the episode and then let me know what you think!

I approach the tomb of the forbidden subject and share my thoughts about whether Jon Anderson should be in Yes at the moment.

  • Is Yes actually Yes without Anderson?
  • Should we forget about the current members?
  • Will we ever see Anderson back in the band?

Listen to the episode and then let me know what you think!

I was delighted to receive a review copy of the new album by the Anderson Ponty Band’ ‘Better Late Than Never’ which includes several re-workings of Yes songs.

  • How do the new versions of Yes songs come over?
  • Is the Anderson Ponty combination a productive one?
  • How effective is the album as a package?
