9012Live – 282

Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.

We were delighted to welcome Joost Maglev onto the show this week to discuss 9012Live from 1985. We all really enjoyed this fantastic live concert film and the 80s fashions it contains! Mark also reviews the Patrick Moraz album ‘Syrinx – Coexistence’.

How does the band look and sound on this film?
Is ARW the same as Yes in the Rabin era?
How did selling millions of records affect the live show?

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

10 Comments on The Steve Howe Album – Part 2 – 281

Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.

We finish off listening to The Steve Howe Album this week and there’s a bit of a difference of opinion about it! The two pence segment is about the news that Billy Sherwood is working on a new Yes live album and Mark reviews Trevor Rabin’s solo outing, ‘Wolf’. Plenty to get your teeth into…

Is side two as good as side one?
How do the orchestral arrangements work?
Who is this Vivaldi bloke anyway?

More on Yes keyboard players – 278

10 Comments on More on Yes keyboard players – 278

Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.

After a suggestion by Jeremy North, we look at live performances by Yes keyboard players including Kaye playing Wakeman and Wakeman playing Kaye. There’s a great video doing the rounds of four Yes keyboard players playing the same Close to the Edge solo and it was a lot of fun to look at that carefully. Mark also reviews the debut Flash record which features Tony Kaye soon after he left Yes for the first time and we enter the dangerous waters of what Yes and ARW need to do (if anything) to legitimise their claim to the name of ‘Yes’.

Who plays the best Close to the Edge solo?
How do Rick Wakeman and Tony Kaye approach each other’s parts?
Which approaches work best?
