Yes Live June 2019 Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier, Bill Govier and VR Hoisington This week, Mark and I talk about the Royal Affair Setlist - so, obviously, if you don’t like spoilers, don’t listen!

A Royal Affair! Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier, Bill Govier and VR Hoisington This week we abandoned our original plans because we felt it was important to talk about the news surrounding the Yes Summer 2019 North American trip which is called the Royal Affair Tour. Mark and I give our views on that so this episode is a little bit different in format to usual as a result. Listen and let us know what you think!

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier, Bill Govier and VR Hoisington Remastered and Expanded ABWH As we approach the 30th anniversary of ABWH, we go back to consider whether it's actually a Jon Anderson solo record, as suggested by Stephen Lambe in his book, YES every album every song. Also, Mark suggests a 2 pence topic on videos... Listen and let us know what you think! ABWH - is it Yes, is it a new band, is it an Anderson solo project?How was the album written?Should it now be regarded as part of Yes' discography?

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier, Bill Govier and VR Hoisington Going For The One and its singles Mark and I tackle the question of Awaken this week and consider its importance for Yes. We also chat about the recent Jon Anderson interview where he talks about the upcoming 1000 Hands Part 1 album and tour. Listen and let us know what you think!

The album from White Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier, Bill Govier and VR Hoisington This week, we listen to a little-known album which should be better known to all Yes fans, White by the Alan White-led band, White. We also have time for the return of our two pence segment and we consider whether Jon Anderson should be concentrating on 1000 Hands or ARW...! What is the White album like? Why is it so obscure? What's the story of the band? Listen and let us know what you think!

Ken Fuller's gift! Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier This week Mark and I take a look at Trevor Rabin’s collection of demos and early versions entitled 90124. It’s a fascinating set of proto-yes music, if you can get hold of a copy. I am indebted to Ken Fuller for mine. Also this week, we think about how Yes or ARW could keep in contact with their fans better. What are these early demos like? What can we learn about Yes songs from them? What clues to the influence of Rabin do they contain? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think! Geoff Bailie's New Yes Show!

Syndestructible Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier In our somewhat delayed episode, Mark and I speak to The Syn front man, Steve Nardelli this week. It was an amazing conversation which delved deeply into all parts of The Syn's story including a residency at The Marquee Club, supporting Jimi Hendrix,  inventing the Rock Opera, trying to get Chris Squire to turn up to gigs on time and the influence of Peter Banks amongst many other topics. Also this week, I announce the dramatic changes to the Yes Music Podcast which are planned for 2019. You can't afford to miss this information. Next year is going to be very special. What were Chris Squire and Peter Banks like to work with? Which Welsh icon was kind to the band? Why couldn't The Syn get out of their dressing room on the night Jimi Hendrix came to town?

Yesterday and Today Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier This week Mark and I speak at length and in depth to Dave Kerzner all about his Yes 50th Tribute Album Yesterday and Today which we reviewed a couple of weeks ago. Do listen right to the end of the interview because Dave also shares a tiny snippet of his forthcoming album which features, amongst many others, Jon Davison on lead vocals - and bass? Dave tells us about the remarkable concept for the new album and the story which underpins it - it’s fascinating stuff. Why did Dave choose these Yes songs? Who was he unable to persuade to take part? What's Dave new album all about? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think!

A Life in Yes Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier This week we listen to Billy Sherwood’s excellent Chris Squire Tribute album, A life in Yes. We also discuss what Anderson, Rabin and Wakeman could have brought to that album if things had been very different - which is a topic suggested by Steven Shinder and not Daniel Krohn as I say later on in the episode - sorry Steven.
