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

Another great episode, Kevin–thanks! I believe “Picasso” was part of the aborted Paris sessions, hence it’s unfinished nature. There is a scene in the “Yes Years” video where Jon, Trevor, and Alan appear to be sitting in a commissary discussing the Paris sessions. Alan refers to the song, and Jon begins singing it! This little mini-version is actually better than the demo on Tormato!

It wouldn’t be hard to be better! Not a classic. Yes I think you are correct about the Paris sessions. Now Mr. Baker has returned, I wonder what we are in for?

I wonder as well…given those aborted sessions it makes him an interesting choice. If memory serves, I don’t think some of the members had kind words for him in the years following the sessions. It always seems, though, the members of the band are good at fence-mending. Baker did a good job with Jon’s “3 Ships,” so I am hopeful.
