Union Live – our favourite facets – 634

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

It seems like a long time since the last new episode of the YMP but it’s not really. Anyway, I am back from my trip of a lifetime to the Indian Ocean for my 30th Wedding Anniversary which was a wonderful, unforgettable experience.

While I was away, I received one of the Union 30 Live box sets after it had been reduced to a sensible price, as spotted by Brian Neeson. Rather than concentrate on what’s in that remarkable package, Mark and I decided to talk more widely about the Union Tour, as you’ll hear a little later on. We also found time for a Two Pence on the surprising mistake on the latest Super Deluxe Edition of Fragile, so look out for that as well.

  • What was Mark’s experience of the Union Tour like?
  • How did the musicians get on?
  • Was it ‘cluttered’?

Let us know if you agree with us!


The ‘not in the round’ concert video Mark mentions:

Union Live 1991 – new and old songs – 469


Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier

Union

This week, Mark and I have been listening to and watching some recordings of the Union Tour in 1991. It’s a special one for Mark as it was his very first experience of Yes live – what a way to start. Listen out for our thoughts on that a little later in the episode when we compare notes on a couple of live versions of songs from the Union album and a couple of older songs.

  • How do 8 Yes men get on together live?
  • Howe and Rabin together!
  • Kaye complementing Wakeman?

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