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

Kevin,

Very entertaining episode…and thank you for the two shout outs! You are correct: “Quartet” was released as a single–I used to have it–which was really a three minute reworking of the “I’m Alive” section. You can find it on the ‘In the Big Dream” making of ABWH video and it was included as a bonus track on Voiceprint’s recent reissue of ABWH. I really like the single, but I would be curious to hear what you have to say.

Here’s someone’s homemade video of the song…but you hear the entire single. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlGHklW_ZII

Before I listened to the episode, I tried to think of what Yes trivia could belong in the letter ‘Q’. I thought of Quartet, but also came up with QPR – the 1975 concert video of our favorite band.
