We also have time to think about a 2 pence suggested by Jeremy North and I need to correct an omission from last week when we played Daniel and Amanda’s contribution to the What if Rick Wakeman had joined Yes before the Yes Album question but didn’t have time to add any feedback.

What If…Rick Wakeman had joined Yes before The Yes Album? 463
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier ABWH days!The Album in question This is our first episode in the YMP’s 10th Anniversary year and it’s a real epic. I asked Patrons and a few others for their contributions to this week’s topic and the response was amazing. So this is another episode you might want to listen to in parts. It may well be the longest episode ever but I also think you’ll really enjoy hearing everyone’s thoughts on Rick Wakeman and The Yes Album. Incidentally, if you sent me a contribution but I haven’t included it, please do let me know and I’ll apologise and add it to next week’s show. Was this the right time for Rick Wakeman to join Yes?Was Tony Kaye's style not right for the band?How different would it have sounded if Wakeman had been there?

Jon Anderson – 3 Ships – 461
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier Jon Anderson with Jon-Luc Ponty It’s been a bit of a challenging week on the technical side with Mark in lockdown and without proper internet access and my move of the YMP Towers into a new location in the house. However, we did manage to listen to the Jon Anderson Christmas album, 3 Ships which was very enjoyable. What's Jon's Christmas album like?Are all the songs 'Christmassy'?Why listen to 3 Ships?

What Did They Do Next Part 18b – Trevor Rabin – PLUS Arc of Life 460
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier Trevor in rock mode Rabin-esque blog: http://rabinesque.blogspot.com/ This is going to be a really long episode so maybe you should listen in a few parts. There are several really important pieces of news about releases, some audio contributions, a special 2 pence about Arc of Life and a wonderful interview with Julie from the Rabin-esque blog about Trevor Rabin’s movie score-writing career and The Glimmer Man which was the first thing he did after leaving Yes in 1995. Wow. So unfortunately I will need to postpone the full round up of social webs until next week. Incidentally if you’ve ever wondered how to see the community posts on the YMP Facebook page, you just need to click on the community tab towards the top of the page. There’s lots on there to enjoy and, as I say, I’ll get back to all that next week. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Arc-Life/dp/B08NF334WL/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Arc%20of%20life&qid=1607095396&s=music&sr=1-1&pldnSite=1&fbclid=IwAR0Pu57j7o5Ec3IjXCgh8LgtqMX8LEHseZd0IjqFq-Dleo1Dwzh3zWcPDiw Frontiers Music Srl is excited to announce the release of ARC OF LIFE's self-titled debut album on February 12, 2021. Arc Of Life is a new progressive rock supergroup featuring three members of the current YES line-up, vocalist/guitarist Jon Davison, bassist/vocalist Billy Sherwood, and additional drummer Jay Schellen, one of the most interesting talents in the “new” progressive rock scene in the US, Dave Kerzner (Sound of Contact) on keyboards, and Jimmy Haun (also featured on YES albums in the past) on guitar. Fans can get their first taste of the band's forthcoming debut with the new single and video, 'You Make It Real'. Watch HERE:https://youtu.be/_84UCEDeEkc Pre-order/save "Arc Of Life" HERE: https://orcd.co/arcoflife The concept behind Arc of Life is, in keeping with the progressive rock philosophy, to craft creative, challenging, and ear-pleasing music that pushes boundaries.  Billy Sherwood describes the music as, “interesting, with well-crafted songs, performed with precision and grace. All songs feature memorable melodies and lyrics that take the listener on a sonic adventure. Dynamic arrangements with peaks and valleys... it's all there.” The other idea behind the band is that YES would be a clear point of influence. But while YES is clearly the main point of comparison, a lot of musical similarities can be drawn to describe Arc Of Life’s grandiose and epic approach to music.  In Jon Davison’s words, “Each YES member understands and supports when others may desire to explore and thrive along new artistic avenues. We then each find further inspiration to bring back to the YES fold.” But all the descriptions are best left to the listeners to discern for themselves as repeat listens will reveal more layers.  Arc Of Life is a true garden of delight for progressive rock fans and the band is looking forward to performing live. “Once the world gets over the COVID hump, Arc Of Life will be planning as much touring as we can fit in between YES and our other projects. Quite honestly, we’re all chomping at the bit to be out performing again!” concludes Jon Davison. Tracklist: 1. Life Has A Way2. Talking With Siri3. You Make It Real4. Until Further Notice5. The Magic Of It All6. Just In Sight7. I Want To Know You Better8. Locked Down9. Therefore We Are10. The End Game Line-up: Billy Sherwood - Bass and vocalsJon Davison - VocalsJay Schellen - DrumsJimmy Haun - GuitarsDave Kerzner - Keyboards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_84UCEDeEkc What is Trevor Rabin's film music like?What do we need to listen to?What do Arc Of Life sound like?

What Did They Do Next Part 18a – Trevor Rabin 459
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier Trevor in rock mode This week marks something of a departure for us here at YMP Towers. In our ever-popular what did they do next series, we have reached the point where Trevor Rabin left the band after the Talk Tour in 1995. He went off to pursue his other musical avenue of choice - film scores. So that means we will be listening not to a rock or progressive album next week but a film soundtrack. That should be very interesting. We are also hoping to have Julia from the fabulous Rabinesque blog with us next week because she knows rather more than we do about Trevor’s soundtrack work and should be able to fill in a lot of the details for us. We also have a 2 pence this week about the new band, Arc Of Life. Here's their first album, courtesy of Daniel Krohn who found it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Arc-Life/dp/B08NF334WL/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Arc%20of%20life&qid=1607095396&s=music&sr=1-1&pldnSite=1&fbclid=IwAR0Pu57j7o5Ec3IjXCgh8LgtqMX8LEHseZd0IjqFq-Dleo1Dwzh3zWcPDiw https://yessolidmentalgrace.com/2020/12/04/a-next-generation-yes/ Simon Barrow's blog post on the possibilities of Arc Of Life So, what did Trevor do next?What do we need to listen to?What is Arc Of Life?

First thoughts on The Royal Affair Tour: Live From Las Vegas – 452
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier I’d like to say Mark and I have been enjoying listening to the new Yes live album, The Royal Affair Tour: Live From Las Vegas this week and actually I have enjoyed the majority of it but you’ll hear a little later in the episode why we’re slightly concerned about the latest release. You may find our comments difficult or you may agree - please do let us know either way. At the end of the episode Mark also helps me out to gain a proper understanding of the significance of Eddie van Halen who, as I’m sure you know, sadly died at the tragically young age of 65 this week. Do stay tuned for that. https://youtu.be/aI7QcewVSs4 Do we need another Yes live album?What's different about this one?Is it worth buying? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think!

Video Killed The Yes Music – or did it? 450
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier Well, it was 1978... Is or was Yes a promotional video type band? This is the question Mark and I wrestle with this week. We each choose 3 videos to discuss and we also broad our scope a bit as well. Do watch the videos which I’ve embedded into the show notes below to give you some context. Which videos did we choose? Which are the most effective? Should Yes have even bothered with videos? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think! Join us as a Patron!

What Did They Do Next Part 17a – Rick Wakeman…again – 447
Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier It’s the beginning of September and the YMP is back. Mark and I are starting off with the next part of our 'what did they do next' series and this time we are back again to Rick Wakeman leaving in the run up to work starting on the Talk album, which he was originally going to be part of. Instead, he undertook some solo and collaboration activity and we will be discussing all that in more detail in this episode. It’s also been an important week for Yes with the official launch of the pre-order for the new live album: Following the outstanding success of their 2019 American tour, YES are to release The Royal Affair Tour,  Live From Las Vegas through BMG Records on 30th October.   Eager fans will be able to get hold of the PHYSICAL formats from 2nd October if ordered exclusively through the YES Store.  Formats are: CD digi sleeve with 12 page booklet; 2LP gatefold with 12” booklet and digital.   Pre-Order the album here:  https://YesBand.lnk.to/RoyalAffairPR  All YES concert tours are special events for their legions of fans and The Royal Affair Tour was no exception, conceived as a wonderful celebration of the best of British progressive music. Guests on the tour were Asia (with YES keyboardist Geoff Downes and a special appearance by Steve Howe), John Lodge of The Moody Blues and Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy featuring Arthur Brown. Of The Royal Affair Tour album, Alan White says: “The Royal Affair tour album, being released in October, is a welcome new chapter in the wide expanse of YES live recordings. I hope you enjoy it.” Steve Howe adds: “Having the opportunity to bring together the band members in the development of a well refined set of songs that captures the bands true potential is simply an honour for me.” The show features many classic tracks across the period 1970 – 1980.  The set opened with No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed, the Richie Havens cover from YES’ second album Time And A Word (1970).  Tempus Fugit was taken from Drama (1980), Geoff Downes’ first as a member of YES, while Going For The One, I’ve Seen All Good People and Siberian Khatru are from some of YES’ iconic mid-70s albums. The set included a rare live performance of YES’ cover of Paul Simon’s America and John Lodge shared vocals on YES’ cover of John Lennon’s Imagine. Soon-to-be YES drummer Alan White played on the original studio recording. The Royal Affair Tour live set and album, recorded at the Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, in July 2019, reaches a climax with two of the best-loved YES tracks Roundabout and Starship Trooper, always a high note on which to close the set. The Royal Affair Tour also featured an exhibition of original art by Roger Dean whose artwork is synonymous having designed the iconic YES logo and the band’s best-loved album covers. Roger Dean recently painted The Royal Affair Tour album artwork live on Facebook while also fielding questions from fans. The 26-date The Royal Affair Tour and YES’ performances were critically acclaimed:  The band sounded great and had brilliant visuals to accompany the songs. Sherwood’s bass playing is perfectly suited to capture the essence of the late Chris Squire while Geoff Downes and Steve Howe are still at the top of their games. Vocalist Jon Davison... looks extremely comfortable on stage, hitting each note with ease. (the progreport.com) Recorded live at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel, Friday 26th July 2019, The Royal Affair Tour, Live From Las Vegas was mixed by Billy Sherwood and is released by BMG Records. Customers who order via the YES Store will receive their albums on 2nd October with the album on general release from 30th October. What did Rick do next?In what way was it a family affair?Should we be looking forward to a new Yes live album? Listen to the episode and let us know what you think! Join us as a Patron!
