What did they do next – the final part – Benoit David – 520

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius

Live From Lyon
CD set purchased 2014

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 not much of a mystery but if you don’t know, just keep listening as Mark and I explain what happened leading up to Benoit’s departure and what he did next.

  • What did Benoit do next?
  • What other band did he contribute to?
  • Is it a MYSTERY?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

Master of the Master Tapes, Brian Kehew, talks about Progeny, Tormato, Drama and more – 519

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?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

The Yes releases Brian worked on – Progeny, Progeny Highlights, Tormato reissue and Drama reissue.

What did they do next Part 27a – Oliver Wakeman – 517

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius

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 notes for this week and we will try and include as many as possible in the episode next time.

  • What were the circumstances around Oliver Wakeman’s exit from the band?
  • Was it a smooth process?
  • What did he do next?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!
