Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | RSS

This week Mark and I have been considering Songs From Tsongas in order to re-live the last time Howe, White, Anderson and Wakeman were together on stage along with the late great Chris Squire. With the recent ARW and Yes live offerings perhaps only offering us part of the story, does Songs from Tsongas now seem like the full picture?

Was it better when the ‘classic’ lineup were with us?
How does the acoustic section come over?
How is the band interaction?

We’ve (finally) reached the end of the Yes singles series with Heaven and Earth which didn’t really have any proper singles at all. However, it does give us a chance to think about Yes’ latest studio album again and we also have a bass focus in our 2 pence segment.

What’s is it with Heaven and Earth?
Were there any singles?
Why was RTB used again?

How was Survival performed back in 1969?
How frequently has it appeared in set-lists since then?
Is it a good song?
