This week I spoke to Jon Anderson about the Anderson Ponty Band, their new album and Yes. I also announce the winners of ‘Better Late Than Never’. It was an amazing privilege to speak to Jon and an opportunity I will never forget. Thank you, Jon.

  • Is it still exciting to be preparing for a tour?
  • Is a lead violinist the same as a lead guitarist?
  • Will you work with Yes again?

The ‘Happening’ I keep referring to was postponed again this week which only left me enough time to do a very short episode containing a review of ABWH by Mark Anthony K and the details of how to enter the Anderson Ponty Band competition to win one of two copies of the new album, ‘Better Late Than Never’!

  • Send your competition entry to show@yesmusicpodcast.com
  • What does Mark Anthony K think of ABWH?
  • Was it really all peace and harmony in the band at the time?

  • What was the technology capable of in 1989?
  • Does this collection stand the test of time or is it simply a museum piece?

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

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!

  • 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!
