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, as a Catholic, I loved your linking YES memorabilia to relics! I’m not aware of any miracles associated with YES “relics” though 🙂 I don’t have anything special other than T-Shirts. I used to have a BIC lighter (my brother worked for BIC at one time, he gave it to me) with the YES bubble logo on it. I do have some Catholic saints relics, small pieces of cloth that were blessed at a shrine, rather like the handkerchiefs mentioned in the book of Acts that St. Paul touched and were used to heal people. If someone has a towel that was used by a band member perhaps they could send a piece of it to a YES critic to heal him of that malady? 🙂

Funny you should mention towels – I can’t remember who it is but someone tweeted a photo of his towel that Trevor Rabin used at a Yes gig… He had to retrieve it from the loft, I think. Perhaps it could work as you suggest…?
