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:

Hi Kevin! The Yesshows version of TaaW (London 78) is part of the “big medley”. While on the record it’s edited and cuts to GftO of another gig (Frankfurt 77), I think in reality it goes to Long Distance Runaround. Nevertheless it’s been also my favourite version of the song! Another great episode. Thanks!

Thanks Miguel – great to know you are listening! I do remember that difference now that you mention it. How strange to cut and paste live versions like that. I suppose we are fortunate now to be in an age of digital media where there are fewer restrictions on length of recordings etc.
