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.

Great rundowns! I’ve long thought Dylan Howe was named after Bob Dylan, and apparently there might be an old magazine that says so, but I believe Steve Howe’s autobiography says he’s named after Dylan Thomas, if I remember correctly. Perhaps he was named after both. After all, why not go for that name if it’s already from two huge figures, you know?
That was an interesting listen. Out of the tracks you chose, the Steve Howe Dylan songs work best for me (I bought that album when it came out so know those well). I like Jon’s singing in his lower register at the start of ‘Sad Eyed Lady’, perhaps the lowest he’s ever sung?!
I find the “tribute to …” cover versions pretty mystifying. The Nobody Home track is nicely played and sung but it’s a carbon copy of the Pink Floyd original, including the sound effects at the beginning and the echo on the vocal. I’d rather just listen to the original.
Rick Wakeman has done a handful of good cover versions over the years, I particularly like his take on Eleanor Rigby – not subtle but a creative interpretation.
Hi Kevin, Really enjoyable episode. Got me listening to some great stuff I didn’t know about. Did you realise that you never actually mentioned the name of the Dylan song you chose? 🙂 I listened to that segment three times thinking I had just missed hearing it, and eventually realised I could look at your YouTube links to work out what it was. Or maybe you do mention it and I just keep losing concentration at the same moment. Unlike you and Mark, I do like Dylan a lot. Given how distinctive his recordings are, it’s remarkable how effective other people’s covers of his songs often are. Cheers David
