    Yes Album Listening Guides – Tales From Topographic Oceans Part 8 – The unsung hero, Genaro Rippo – 623

    Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller







    It seems like a long time since the last episode but it’s not.







    Anyway, it was delightful to speak to a warm and friendly unsung hero of Yes last week. As you will hear, despite being very keen to be involved, Mark wasn’t able to join in the conversation due to timing and technical issues but he will be back next week. Genaro actually contacted me quite some time ago and introduced himself.















    It’s taken ages to coordinate a time to speak but I’m sure you’ll agree that it was well worth the effort and I’m sure he will be joining us again soon.







    The console Eddie Offord designed and Genaro Rippo operated at Yes live concerts.

    He has asked me not to open the comments function on the show notes for this week but you can still send comments on what you hear to me via email show@yesmusicpodcast.com or by using the contact form. Please do send me your thoughts.









    * What was Genaro's role with Yes?







    * Why is he a 'mystery man'?







    * What albums and live events was he involved in?

    Talk re-issue – the ‘Lost’ Yes album? – 622

    Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller







    I'm publishing this episode on Good Friday so there's been no time for the usual news roundup. However, Mark and I did manage to talk about 'Talk' receiving the box set treatment.







    We discuss what's going to be included - and what doesn't seem to be included as well.







    It one of our favourite Yes albums so there's plenty to be excited about in this release.

















    * In what sense is Talk 'lost'?







    * Is this going to be a worthwhile release?







    * What's going to be on all those discs?

    Anyone for tennis – and a pint? In conversation with Yes drummer, Jay Schellen – 621

    Anyone for tennis – and a pint? In conversation with Yes drummer, Jay Schellen – 621

    Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller







    We were delighted to be able to speak to Jay Schellen this week about the upcoming Yes UK and Europe Tour and many other topics, particularly his relationship with the late, great Alan White. As you will hear, Jay's connections with Yes are numerous and he is a truly talented all-round musician, not 'just' a drummer.







    Stand by for surprising stories, tennis and visits to the pub...

















    * How did Jay find himself playing with so many Yes men?







    * What did he learn from Alan White?







    * What is it like playing with Downes, Howe, Davison and Sherwood?

    Pre-Conversation with Yes drummer, Jay Schellen – 620

    Pre-Conversation with Yes drummer, Jay Schellen – 620

    This week Mark and I were due to have a conversation with Jay Schellen about the forthcoming Yes tour of the UK and Europe. Unfortunately, this didn’t happen for reasons outside our control. We will be speaking to Jay on Monday instead so I’m afraid you’ll have to wait just a little bit longer for that.







    In the meantime in this very short episode, I thought I’d mention some of the interesting things I have found out about the (relatively) new Yes drummer. See how many of these facts you knew and how many are new to you - most of them were new to me.

    Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller







    This week would have been Chris Squire’s 76th birthday. To celebrate his legacy, Mark and I chose 3 of our favourite Squire bass lines and also chatted about his signature sound and how he achieved it. Make sure you add your own selections to the comments on the show notes for this episode and let’s celebrate the legacy of the world’s greatest bassist together.









    * What are your favourite Squire bass lines?







    * How did Chris achieve his sound?







    * Did he always take the same approach?

    Old ABWH and the new Yes video – 618

    Old ABWH and the new Yes video – 618

    Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller







    Mark and I had a fun time this week re-watching the ABWH Brother of Mine video and the new Mirror to the Sky one. Listen out for our thoughts in a few minutes’ time and see if you can count how many times I call the song Long Lost Brother of Mine by mistake. Also, do check out the show notes below before or during listening to Mark and me banging on because I’ve added lots of screenshots from the videos that we refer to in the conversation. You can also watch both videos as well without having to do that dreary web searching thing - it’s just one of the services we offer to listeners.









    * Are there any similarities between these two videos?







    * How are videos used to help promote songs, today and in 1989?







    * Are lyric videos any good?









    Let us know if you agree with us!

Nerd out...

...with a Yes minutia sandwich on Canadian multi-grained bread and English commentary condiments, every week! A great way to kick off the weekend—for years now!

Love your podcast and a request

Hi Guys;
Really enjoyed Fernando and Mark interviews and many others. I just ordered From A Page and enjoyed that review show too. I was wondering if you could comment a little on the Live in Lyon included concert in terms of maybe how it ranks in comparison to some of the many other live releases as I’m not familiar with it. Would also be interested in a possible future episode focusing on your opinions of some of the various live releases that you really enjoy besides the obvious YesSongs. Thx much.
Bill Light
