Why did Yes want Geoff Downes...again? Part 1 - 616

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller

This week, Mark and I talked about the situation in Yes at the time Geoff Downes rejoined for Fly From Here - around 2010-11. It's a contentious time - but then again when isn't with Yes? Oliver Wakeman had to make way for the return of Downes who had worked very closely with Steve Howe in Asia for many years and, when Trevor Horn was brought in to produce the new album, perhaps the writing was on the wall for a Downes redux.

All was not well between certain other members of the band either...

• Why did Geoff return (trip)?
•  
• Whose idea was it?
•  
• Why was Oliver Wakeman 'let go'?

Let us know if you agree with us!
