Why did Yes want Benoit David? – 587

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Ken Fuller, Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius

This week Mark and I return to our ‘Why did Yes want…’ series and it’s time to consider Benoit David. Jon Anderson had been unwell and so the band needed to find what Chris Squire referred to as an ‘understudy’, presumably with the intention of Jon returning at some point.

  • How did the band find Benoit?
  • How did he know the music?
  • What was he up to just before joining Yes?

Let us know if you agree with us!

What did they do next – the final part – Benoit David – 520

Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius

Live From Lyon
CD set purchased 2014

Is this the last part of our What did they do next series? Probably…possibly…maybe not. In any event, we are going to stop for the moment after we have talked about what Benoit David did after leaving the band due to ill health in 2012. Apart from the tragic loss of Chris Squire and the resulting return of Billy Sherwood, the band has maintained the same lineup since Benoit left. While he was still touring with Yes, he was also working on an album for a different band – which one? Well, maybe it’s not much of a mystery but if you don’t know, just keep listening as Mark and I explain what happened leading up to Benoit’s departure and what he did next.

  • What did Benoit do next?
  • What other band did he contribute to?
  • Is it a MYSTERY?

Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!
