Theme music

The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert – I put it together from the following two creative commons sources: thanvannispen and archive.org

I suppose it was in 1973 that I first listened to Yes. I borrowed Close To The Edge from a schoolmate. From then on I was hooked. The artwork was a massive bonus as I was into that too.
In 1983, I remember being delighted to hear Jon singing with the band again, and although the music was a complete departure, I really liked 90125. It reminds me well of the flat I lived in at the time, in the Montpellier area of Cheltenham.

!993 has no specific memory of Yes, though I continued to buy their new releases (studio and live) throughout the nineties.

2003 has no memory for me where Yes is concerned. I think by then I’d become tired of their regurgitations of the old material done live yet again but not as well as in the past.
