This week Mark and Kevin listen to a bootleg on YouTube of the first concert in the Solo Albums Tour.

Jon Anderson’s conceptual epic, Olias of Sunhillow, is under the microscope this week and the 2 Pence segment is about Yes and ARW in 2016 and 17. Many thanks to Joseph Cottrell for sending me a vinyl copy of the album!

Does this album live up to its amazing reputation?
How does Jon Anderson get on playing all the instruments?
Does Olias feel like a complete work or a bit bolted together?
