I finally got my hands on Jon Kirkman’s wonderful new book, Dialogue, this week. This episode is dedicated to exploring it. It’s an absolute must-have for Yes fans!

What is new about this version of the Yes interviews book?
Who provided a lot of the memorabilia?
Is it worth the hefty price tag?

Everyone in Yes is a newcomer! 270

It’s half term holiday for me this week so the episode is slightly shorter than normal. However, Mark and I manage to think about the idea that everyone in Yes currently is a ‘newcomer’ if you stretch that concept as far as possible. Also, Mark reviews Citizen by Billy Sherwood and there’s plenty of news.

What was the first studio-recorded moment of each of the current members of the band?
Was each recorded debut as successful as the rest?
Does it make a difference how much live playing goes on before a new member contributes to a studio album?

37 Comments on Tormato and Relayer Live – Really? 269

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

With Yes announcing that the next two albums to be given the ‘Album Series’ treatment are Tormato and Relayer, we take a listen to both and discuss what we think the issues and challenges are of playing these records live in 2017/18.

Mark also listens to the new Rick Wakeman album, Piano Portraits and there’s a voice mail on the same subject from Bob Keeley. Finally, our 2 pence involves Alan White.

What is it about Tormato and Relayer that might be difficult to recreate live today?
How will the current line-up cope with the 70s albums?
Should they still be going for ‘authenticity’?

We were delighted to be able to interview Yes book author, Martin Popoff, this week. ‘Time and a Word – The Yes Story’ is just one of his more than 50 music titles and we had a great chat about Yes members he has interviewed. Also, you can win a copy of Rick Wakeman’s ‘Two Sides of Yes’ and Mark reviews Patrick Moraz’ ‘Out of the Sun’. There’s even time for another vinyl segment and Mark looks at some Yes promotional albums this time.

Why did it take Martin so long to get to Yes?
Who was the most memorable Yes member to interview?
What’s special about the format of this Yes book?
