Produced by Wayne Hall and Jeffrey Crecelius
It was great to speak to Dave Watkinson once again on the show this week. Some time ago he published an article on Yesworld.com all about the variety of music Yes have used to open their shows over 50 years and more. Mark and I very much enjoyed finding out more from Dave and here is the article – http://yesworld.com/yesshows-the-opening-music/yes-opening-music-year-guide/
After that conversation, there is a contribution from Daniel and Amanda Krohn with a different spin on the change from Relayer to Close to the Edge on the upcoming tour – do stay tuned for that.
- What kinds of music have been played before and after Yes shows?
- Isn’t it always The Firebird?
- Have the band ever played their own music as an introduction?
Take a listen to the episode and then let us know what you think below!

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: archive.org
