This week Mark and I consider 6 songs that were performed live really well by lineups of Yes that didn’t record them. With the revolving door policy of the band over the decades, there was a lot to choose from so see if we came up with anything you would have chosen yourself. Of course, as usual, we’d love to hear from you some of your own suggestions, so please do add those to the show notes for this week over at yesmusicpodcast.com
Let us know if you agree with us!

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.

Ah! No Rabin line up versions – which I think you were going to say, but I don’t think you circled back to it …
But actually, I’d mention a couple of things from the Tormato tour. First of all, the Big Medley has no pieces originally played by the precise line up performing it, and is a rare example of Wakeman playing Moraz material. But also, the version of Starship Trooper – with Wakeman’s epic Moog solo – is surely the finest. My heart usually sinks when the band launch into it now – but I could listen to that version every week!
Hi guys, just on this podcast I have a couple of points…well ones a question for the general Yes public and the others a memory. Why is the QPR concert known generally as the QPR gig and not Loftus Road is which the actual venue? Queens Park Rangers their home games play at Loftus Road.
My memory is of the Ladder tour and the concert at The Royal Albert Hall. I remember seeing the fantastic version you picked of Awaken and at the climax of the song a standing ovation was greeted by a ticket tale cascade from the ceiling which fell on the audience. In front of me a guy was standing up with rest of us applauding loudly Nd really enjoying it while his wife sat stoney faced leaning on her arm while the coloured paper piled up on her head. He eventually sat down to keep her company and a valuable lesson was learned. Never take you partner to a concert that you think they won’t be into as it will only ruin it for yourself as well.
It’s a good question. It really should be called Loftus Road, you are correct. I took my wife to just one Yes concert in 1998. She has issued declinatures to a repeat.
Yes,I’ve never taken my wife to any of the Yes or related tours as I know she would hate it. Better to join Dave Watkinson as he enjoys it more…
