Thu, 10 August 2006  It's well known that one of my all time favorite bands is Pink Floyd. However, since the Pink Floyd train already rolls, I don't play much of their music on my podcasts. One of my second favorite bands is Yes, a progressive rock band that made it from 1968 all the way to today. Although they don't currently tour, it wouldn't surprise me if we see them again one last time. I had an opportunity to see them in Atlanta and it is one of my largest regrets that I passed on that chance. But, I got the next best thing. I have a show from that same tour and this is a show that I would like to share with my listeners. This show comes from the Lugano Jazz Festival in Lugano, Switzerland, in 2004. This podcast features the first set and next podcast will feature the second set. This lineup is not quite the original power lineup who recorded Fragile and were only around for a year, but it's pretty damned close, missing only the drummer Bill Bruford. Reading the names of the members almost reads as a progressive rock supergroup, such is the talent of the individuals of Yes. Even the name speaks eternal positivity. It's a well known story that John Lennon was intrigued by Yoko Ono's artwork during one of their first meetings in that she had a ladder you would climb to read a small word on the ceiling. John Lennon liked the positive vibe of this word at a time when things in the world seemed to be overly negative. That word was 'Yes'. Title: It's a Yesgasm!! Tracks: Comments[7] |
