Virgil Howe R.I.P. After the terrible news of the passing of Steve Howe's younger son, Virgil, Mark and I thought it would be inappropriate to release a normal episode of the podcast this week. So instead, here's a brief statement of our shock and sadness at the death of Virgil Howe.

Produced by Preston Frazier, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault. The last album in the main sequence turns 40 this year so we take another look at it this week. There's also the news of the 50th Anniversary and Mark reviews a Bill Bruford record. What do we think of Going for the One today? Is the production good? What about live recordings?

Our first 'proper' episode for a couple of weeks features the brilliant Steve Howe Anthology 2 as well as a two pence about ARW changing the set list (at last) and there are two Yestival reviews!

I'm on holiday - again - this time to celebrate my son Edward getting into the university of his choice. So here's Preston Frasier, Mark and I discussing the recent 50th Anniversary pronouncement from Jon Anderson. Also, we have a copy of Steve Howe's new Anthology 2 to give away thanks to Preston's generosity as part of the YMP 300th episode celebrations. All the details are in the episode. Thanks Preston!

Two Sides of Peter Banks Produced by Preston Frazier, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault. On social media this week there was a suggestion that Steve Howe has taken over Yes - in organisation and playing. So we investigate this claim by watching some live videos of 2017 and much earlier. Also, we have Preston Frazier with us to talk about his recent experience of Yestival and some two pences. Mark also continues his obsession with a review of Two Sides of Peter Banks. Has Steve Howe taken over? Is he dominating Yes? What was it like at a Yestival concert? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think! Become a YMP Patron!

Dan and Amanda I was delighted when Daniel Krohn and his wife Amanda sent me their ideas for a concert featuring a song from every Yes album. Rather than letting it be hidden in a longer episode, here it is as a special episode of its own. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Produced by Preston Frazier, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault. Yestival is finally underway and so Mark and I watch some of the first crowd-shot videos which have emerged. Obviously, there are lots of spoilers so if you don't want to know the answer, look away now. We also go on a bit about a the second keyboard player on the 90125 tour in the two pence segment and Mark reviews Circa's latest -Valley of the Windmill. How is Dylan Howe doing?

House of Yes DVD Produced by Preston Frazier, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault.

There's also time for some other Two Pence discussion and Mark reviews Can't Look Away by Trevor Rabin. Was the band live as good as they were in the studio? What will Dylan Howe bring to the band?

GTR Produced by Preston Frazier, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault. What Yes music would go with which life event? This is a topic suggested by Jeffrey Crecelius and was great fun for Mark and me to discuss. There's also time for two Two Pences and Mark reviews the GTR album. Titles or moods - which is best?

It's back to the 1980s this week as we listen to Jon Anderson's third solo album, Animation. The two pence is about Roger Dean and his influence over the Yes music buying population.

Levin Torn White album 2011 Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault. We enjoy listening to music neither of us has heard previously and which combines Yes (Alan White) with King Crimson (Tony Levin). It's an amazing album and well worth the time and effort to listen! Then we are joined by none other than Jeremy North for a 2 pence discussion all about when it would have been best for Yes to call it a day...you'll need to listen to understand why we were talking about this! What kind of music do this supergroup create? Instrumental prog rock - why? If yes had given up after Close to the Edge, what would you miss?...and many other questions!

Bill Bruford book Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault. It was brilliant to be able to welcome Preston Frazier to the podcast this week to talk about Bill Bruford and Alan White.

Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault. As it's half term holiday in the UK this week, I haven't been able to add all the 'bells and whistles' such as news and in-depth analysis to this episode but there was time to speak to bass maestro, Miguel Falcao, and Mark about Yes music and why it endures. Mark also reviews another Flash album - 'Out of Our Hands'. Back to normal next week I hope! What is it about Yes music which means it has lasted for almost 50 years? What will make it endure further? What makes Yes music special? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think! Become a YMP Patron!

We were delighted to welcome Joost Maglev onto the show this week to discuss 9012Live from 1985. We all really enjoyed this fantastic live concert film and the 80s fashions it contains!

The Steve Howe Album Produced by Preston Frazier, David Gordon, Bill Govier, Wayne Hall and Michel Arsenault. We finish off listening to The Steve Howe Album this week and there's a bit of a difference of opinion about it! The two pence segment is about the news that Billy Sherwood is working on a new Yes live album and Mark reviews Trevor Rabin's solo outing, 'Wolf'. Plenty to get your teeth into...
