Something’s Coming – Peter Banks and the new Yes album – 665

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller

In a bumper double-feature episode (or something like that), Mark and I compare the Empire featuring Peter Banks version of Something’s Coming with the Yes studio version and we also indulge in a little bit of speculation about the forthcoming Yes album – and who doesn’t enjoy these kinds of guessing games? Well if you don’t, feel free to use the fast forward button.

 Anyway, it was a lot of fun listening to some very early Yes and what Peter Banks did when he revisited it himself in 1979. Videos of the 2 songs are available below of course.

  • How similar are the 2 versions of Something’s Coming?
  • Does Peter Banks play it the same way he did with Yes?
  • What do we have in-store from Yes’ forthcoming new album?

Let us know if you agree with us!

After we spoke about a forthcoming Washington DC exhibition that includes Roger Dean’s Yessongs artwork, YMP listener Craig Tiren went along to see it. Here he is, suitable attired!

  • Which versions did we choose?
  • Why did we chose those ones?
  • Who does it best?

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller

This week Mark and I enjoyed discovering the many delights of the Blu-ray version of the Steven Wilson remix set of Tales from Topographic Oceans. It’s packed full of obscure and unusual versions of the songs on the album – a delight for all Yes nerds fans everywhere.

Do you have a copy of the Blu-ray version? If not, you might want to find one as explained in our chat in a few minutes’ time.

  • What is included on the Blu-ray?
  • Does it sound good?
  • Is it worth choosing Blu-ray as an audio format over DVD-A or others?

You’re playing my song! – 662

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller

This week Mark and I consider 6 songs that were performed live really well by lineups of Yes that didn’t record them. With the revolving door policy of the band over the decades, there was a lot to choose from so see if we came up with anything you would have chosen yourself. Of course, as usual, we’d love to hear from you some of your own suggestions, so please do add those to the show notes for this week over at yesmusicpodcast.com

  • What have we chosen?
  • How do songs from different lineups sound live?
  • Who plays it better?

Let us know if you agree with us!

David Watkinson, Roger Dean and Trading Boundaries – 661

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller

This week I’m feeding back on my trip to Trading Boundaries to see what Dave Watkinson has put on display alongside the permanent Roger Dean exhibition there. I made a video of Dave showing me around and we both enthuse about all the amazing items.

I then had a chance to chat with Mark about what he noticed on the video – of course it’s embedded into the show notes below.

  • What was on display?
  • Where and what is Trading Boundaries?
  • What has Paul Graf sent to Kevin?
