Yes Music Podcast

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

This week Mark and I enjoyed discovering the many delights of the Blu-ray version of the Steven Wilson remix set of Tales from Topographic Oceans. It’s packed full of obscure and unusual versions of the songs on the album - a delight for all Yes nerds fans everywhere.

Do you have a copy of the Blu-ray version? If not, you might want to find one as explained in our chat in a few minutes' time.

  • What is included on the Blu-ray?
  • Does it sound good?
  • Is it worth choosing Blu-ray as an audio format over DVD-A or others?

Let us know if you agree with us!

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

  • What have we chosen?
  • How do songs from different lineups sound live?
  • Who plays it better?

This week I’m feeding back on my trip to Trading Boundaries to see what Dave Watkinson has put on display alongside the permanent Roger Dean exhibition there. I made a video of Dave showing me around and we both enthuse about all the amazing items.

I then had a chance to chat with Mark about what he noticed on the video - of course it’s embedded into the show notes over at YesMusicPodcast.com

  • What was on display?
  • Where and what is Trading Boundaries?
  • What has Paul Graf sent to Kevin?

  • Which covers did we choose?
  •  
  • Who is represented from Yes?
  •  
  • How do they stand up against the originals?
