This week, Mark and I were joined by Jon Pickles to talk about the latest (greatest?) Yes Record Store Day offering – Live at the Rainbow London, England 12/16/1972 – a catchy title if there ever was one. I haven’t forked out the considerable amount of money for a copy – yet – but both Jon and Mark have, so at least they are speaking from a position of knowledge. No change there then.
Have you managed to get a copy of this new release?
- What does the music sound like?
- Is it a good performance?
- Is the high cost justified?
Let us know if you agree with us!

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller
This week, Mark and I had a think about the Yes songs we like that include contrasts – one of my favourite aspects of progressive rock – and Yes music. We both chose 2 songs to talk about in depth but also went on a bit about other songs that also fit this category. It was another very interesting conversation – at least I thought so.
- What songs do we choose?
- What do we mean by contrast?
- Do our selections cover a wide range of eras of the band?
Let us know if you agree with us!

YesKit Part 3 – 668

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller
Mark and I always enjoy ‘getting into the weeds’ and ‘geeking out’ about Yes kit so here is another perfect example of this. This week we both chose 3 pieces of YesKit that took our fancy and went on about them for a long time. If you don’t consider yourself a 5%er who loves hearing about the minutiae of music tech as used by Yes, then feel free to skip this episode. If you do, though, I feel I should point out that you’ll miss Mark playing actual musical examples and me giving a little bit of a sneak preview of what’s coming up in the Tales book. You have been warned.
- What bits of YesKit do we choose?
- Did you know all about these already?
- What do you think of Mark’s instrumental ‘chops’?

Unfortunately, Mark has been unwell this week so best wishes to him for a speedy recovery. As we couldn’t record an episode, I’ve been delving into the archive to uncover the first Yes Tracks Through Time episode I ever did. That was back in April 2013. Wow.
Here are the show notes from way back then:
The seventy-ninth episode of the Yes Music Podcast featuring the first in a series of Yes Tracks Through Time. After the initial recording, what happened to songs live? How did different line-ups of the band alter the character of tracks – if at all?
Listen and then let me know what you think of the different approaches by contacting me via any of the different routes on the right hand side or by leaving a comment below!
- Which of the three versions of Astral Traveller is the best?
- Should group members leave tracks alone or add their own character?
- Does the band’s approach change over time?
Let us know if you agree with us!
