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:

As I left the gig after seeing Yes perfom songs from The Ladder I remember someone behind me saying “… and that’s the last time you’ll ever hear them play those songs.” And, of course, he was right!

…and what a shame. I really enjoyed that tour – one of my favourite modern periods in Yes history – thanks so much for the comment, Ken.
