The Game live

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 myself thought that all things considered,that I think they did pretty good job of it and mistakes happen live thats why you go see them live …..Its all the imperfections that makes the show the show!
and to all the Yes fans that want to beat on this album just remember that Mr. Anderson also had some well you know not so great hits….
but again I think the new sound new album is good the more I listen the better I feel the Yes stamp…

Cheers

Thanks Paul, as always. I’ve listened to newer recordings now and they are great – everyone can have an off-day. It will be interesting to see the new live DVD when it appears – as it seems to be from just one performance, there could also be rougher areas. As you say, I don’t rate all of Anderson’s solo work although some is, of course, fantastic. Thanks again!

If you’re e-bow curious try Smashing Pumpkins or Radiohead…

I thought the two people missing from H&E were Howe and RTB, which is consistent with what you say in this episode: if they sound close to the album when performed live it does imply the studio has not been used as an instrument. I absolutely think that’s what’s missing from the Yes-ness of H&E, and it’s inexplicable when you consider how much of that trope came from RTB and Queen in the first place.
