Yes Tracks Through Time – Ritual – Shows, Symphonic and Drama – 608

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller

We continue our Tales from topographic oceans obsession this week with a look at 3 very different live recordings of side 4, Ritual – Nous Sommes du Soleil. The 3 different performances are included in the show notes below. They are from Yesshows (1980) , Symphonic Live (2002) and Topographic Drama (2017). This means we have the following musicians to listen to: Anderson, Squire, White, Moraz, Howe, Downes, Brislin, Sherwood, Davison, Schellen and the whole of the European Festival Orchestra. Wow. There are many differences between the recordings so listen along and see what you think.

  • Which is the best performance?
  • No Wakeman?
  • A whole symphony orchestra – what does it add?

Let us know if you agree with us!

Gates of Delirium Live Plus Tim Morse! 390

Gates and Tim Morse's Yesstories
Gates and Tim Morse’s Yesstories

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

This week we have a slightly different format to the episode. Mark and I enjoyed listening to three different live versions of Gates of Derilium a few weeks ago but we didn’t get around to posting our thoughts – so that’s what you’ll hear first.

Then, we did a great interview with Yes book author, Tim Morse, this week for the Patreon community and I wanted to include some of that here because Tim once collaborated with Jon Anderson and also recently released his third solo album so there’s plenty to learn about him.

So I’ve clipped out a few parts of our conversation to play here and if you want to see the complete video of our chat, complete with various drinking vessels and Tim’s cat, you need to head over to Patreon. If you are already a patron, it’s all there for you and if you have yet to join in, you can do that at the same time.

Listen and let us know what you think!

  • What do different performances of Gates sound like?
  • What Jon Anderson piece did Tim Morse work on?
  • Is Tim going to update his great book, Yesstories?

Going for the One on Yesshows – 349

Going for the One and Yesshows
href=”https://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/bc0192bb7a400f4e28cfd91c5573b628/5C03C290/t51.2885-15/e35/39086360_273719986786904_8323578536299945258_n.jpg”> Going for the One and Yesshows[/c

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

After thinking about Patrick Moraz last week, this week we’ve turned our attention to what happened after he left the band. Rick Wakeman returned and Going for the One was created. We listened to the studio recordings and the live recordings of the three Going for the One songs on Yesshows and discussed what happened when Yes changed once again.

There’s also time for a two pence segment on the newly-release YouTube video of the first full song from Yes featuring ARW’s forthcoming release – Live at the Apollo.

  • Wakeman returns – how does it go?
  • Are we back to progressive rock rather then the jazz-fusion influenced Relayer?
  • How do the new songs sound live?

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

Relayer Live in 2019? 348

Relayer!
Relayer!

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

With the ‘news’ that Patrick Moraz might be joining Yes live in 2019 to play the whole of Relayer, Mark and I discuss the possibilities and challenges this presents. We listen to/watch recordings from when Moraz was in the band playing the songs from Relayer and then have a chat about it all.

  • How could Moraz be integrated into the current Yes band?
  • What instrumentation is needed for Relayer?
  • Are the songs similar to other Yes music?
