Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Bruford

Quant on fait une émission consacrée au rock, notamment progressif, mais même plus généralement  inspiré des 60 / 70's, on ne peut que constater la raréfaction tout autant progressive des talents à l'origine de ce courant, inéluctablement de saison en saison et cette dernière en aura été cruellement exemplaire… Mais reste cet héritage sans cesse remis sur le métier par de compétences, le numéro de ce soir en est donc encore un exemple frappant. Commençons donc par l'hommage : née David Palmer, sexuellement réassignée en 2003 pour devenir à l'état civil DEE PALMER, l'ex claviériste-arrangeuse de JETHRO TULL a donc à son tour rejoint notre Emile pour aller "torcher le cul du firmament" cette semaine. Dee avait une formation de musique classique, et l'on sait à quel point le rock progressif est friand de ce genre de talents. Ainsi avant même l'acte de naissance officielle de ce courant musical, Ian Anderson faisait appel aux compétences d'arrangeuse orchestrale de Dee sur le 1er album du groupe "This Was" en 1968, collaboration qui restera systématique puis évoluant vers le poste de musicienne de session pour finalement accéder à celui de co-claviériste officielle et membre à part entière du groupe entre les albums "Songs From The Wood" (1997) à "Stormwatch" en 1979 et dont je vous propose un extrait ici. Par la suite, Dee sera arrangeuse pour divers projets dont cinématographiques. Outre sa participation à Jethro Tull, je retiens de son talent le magnifique album de collaboration entre les membres de Yes (époque 1993 avec Jon Anderson, Steve Howe et Bill Bruford de retour ponctuel) et le London Philarmonic Orchestra pour le magnifique  "Symphonic Music Of Yes". Dee Palmer avait 88 ans. Mais on en a encore sous le coude, et à commencer par TIMELESS dont je vous présentais le premier album il y a seulement quelques mois alors que les deux membres de ce duo sont des musiciens expérimentés, chacun ayant suivi son chemin indépendamment car séparés par l'océan l'Atlantique, ce qui n'est pas rien ! Mais par la grâce des technologies actuelles, nos sages et expérimentés amis Tim Taylor aux USA et Les Shaw en Angleterre ont donc produit ce bel ouvrage que je vous recommande chaudement : " The Wolf Of Time", pas mal du tout pour des p'tits jeunes !! Et comme j'avais envie à mon tour de faire plaisir au très sympathique Les (à l'écriture et au chant de Timeless), avec lequel j'ai pu avoir quelques échanges au cours desquels il évoquait un titre de FAMILY sur le second album de la bande à Roger Chapman (Family Entertainment de 1969), je lui dédicace donc bien volontiers ce titre, d'autant que le plaisir est partagé ! Roger Chapman qui s'est illustré cette année par sa participation aux concerts du Tribute Band espagnol OPUS ONE, un projet consacré au Maestro Mike Oldfield et qui à déjà fait appel aux voix emblématiques utilisées par Oldfield telles que Maggie Reilly, Anita Hegerland ou encore Barry Palmer et même la fille du regretté Kevin Ayers ! Le seul défaut d'Opus One est de ne pas quitter la péninsule ibérique. Va falloir que je descende moi-même ?!          Autre anglais devenu familier d'Amarok : RICHARD ANTHONY BEAN. Rappelez vous en fin d'année 2025 je vous présentais son nouvel album "Geostrophic Pathways". J'avais par ailleurs diffusé l'extrait "Luminous". Ce soir je reviens sur ce titre dans une version alternative parue cette année en single, avec arrangements et jeux de guitare de PAUL LANDRY. Nos deux amis ont la même appétence pour ces musiques atmosphériques et j'ai toujours plaisir à faire connaître à mon modeste niveau ces deux illustres musiciens anglais tellement sous représentés de ce côté-ci de la Manche !     "Octane" est un carburant (comportant 8 atomes de carbone pour X etc...ne m'en demandez pas trop quand même !!) et ce chiffre 8 correspond aussi à l'ordre chronologique de sorties des galettes fabriquées à base de pétrole par SPOCK'S BEARD. Alors la photo d'une pompe à essence sur la pochette est plus que justifiée ! Au-delà de ces considérations esthétiques, l'album de D'Virgilio, Morse and Co paru en 2005 proposait un son assez "rock" (vous me direz on est la pour ça ! ) mais un rock plus direct et sans doute plus accessible en tout cas, toujours plaisant à écouter aujourd'hui !    Et puisqu'on est dans la branche "metal" du rock progressif, permettez moi de vous représenter une nouvelle fois cette formation venue de Tours :  ELEMENTS. Un son musclé certes mais également accessible, s'approchant parfois de la pop et leur 1er album "Nouvelle Ere" par en 2023 inaugure sans aucun doute une nouvelle scène française progressive avec laquelle il faudra compter et avec grand plaisir ! Ils seront de passage à Nantes dans le cadre du PROG NIGHT au Floride ce 26 juin, aux côtés d'Unsquare et d'HamaSaari, qu'on se le dise ! Notre régulier détour italien nous emmène cette fois en Sicile avec ALCANTARA, un groupe que je découvre avec ce 2ème album "Tamam Shud" sorti l'année dernière. Un album qui se mérite, il faut en effet quelques écoutes pour s'approprier son contenu dont la musique croise les routes du Rock Progressif, psychédélique et du blues. Le groupe revendique des influences chez Pink Floyd et Riverside notamment et considère, à juste titre, qu'il se parcours de façon immersive et non comme on écoute une playlist ou une compilation. Je valide et souscrit ! Un album dont les écoutes au casque vous rendent assez vite addict et si vous tombez sous le charme italien, sachez qu'un album live sera publié dès demain vendredi ! Chouette, j'ai tout l'été pour m'y plonger !  En 1978, THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT publiait son 3ème opus : "Pyramid", qui après "The Tales..." et "I Robot", prenait un virage plus pop préfigurant l'orientation du groupe dans les 80's à venir mais toujours avec cette exigence ne serait-ce que la pour la qualité de production irréprochable ! Faut dire que MR PARSONS avait quelques expériences enrichissantes sur son CV, notamment auprès de George Martin et des Beatles (on le voit même presque encore gamin sur le toit de "Apple" lors de ce célèbre et ultime concert sauvage des "Fab Four" en 1969). Quant à "Pyramid", il s'agit d'un album concept autour des pyramides de Gizeh. Peut-être a-t-il été inspiré par l'art-work de la pochette de "Dark Side Of The Moon" dont il reste sans doute l'ingénieur du son le plus envié de la profession !  J'espère qu'à part Amarok, vous écoutez plus généralement la radio, surtout SUN bien sur et notamment l'émission SUN MUSIC ADDICT ! Il s'agit d'un programme permettant à des talents régionaux émergents de jouer en live dans nos beaux studios nantais avec, cerise sur la gâteau, de la vidéo !  C'est à l'occasion de l'une de ces séances que vous avez alors peut-être entendu (et vu)  .RESSAC. pour la première fois. Une belle fusion, une musique introspective qui, pour ce qui me concerne, n'est pas tombée dans l'oreille d'un sourd ! Si j'évoquais en début d'émission ces artistes qui le temps passant partent les un après les autres, ils restent éternels par leurs œuvres bien sur mais je crois aussi par l'héritage qu'ils laissent. Alors en voyant émerger ces quatre copains nantais talentueux que sont Simon, Charles, Nicolas et Ewen fondateurs de ce groupe .RESSAC. , je suis rassuré ! Non seulement ils perpétuent l'âme de leurs prédécesseurs mais renouvelle ces musiques offrant peut-être à Amarok quelques beau jours et surtout nous offrent autre chose que le "mainstream" des sentiers battus de la star'ac !  D'ailleurs vous pourrez les voir très prochainement en sortie de résidence, non pas au Château de Dammarie-Les-lys mais au FERAILLEUR à Nantes ce mardi 23 juin, avis à la population ! En attendant, un nouvel extrait de leur premier EP éponyme dans ce numéro. Pour clôturer cette émission, retour en Angleterre et sur un album sorti il y un peu plus d'un mois mais tellement apprécié que j'avais envie de m'en resservir une tranche et de vous en faire profiter aussi ! THE PARADOX TWIN a publié son 3ème album (après un premier essai très réussi et d'ailleurs justement acclamé par la presse en 2018, essai transformé ensuite pour le 2ème opus ! ). "A Romance Of Many Dimensions" tout juste sorti des presses à CD est produit par John Mitchell (d'Arena notamment) qui a les oreilles aussi bien affutées que celles de Spock ! Quant on aime… !      Thierry Joigny AMAROK, chaque jeudi, à 20h  

Anthony Phillips, founding Genesis guitarist, joins Jason Barnard to talk about the formation of Genesis, his departure, and his latest album, Gemini – Pieces For Piano. He traces the Genesis story back to Charterhouse and the summer of 1967, when he first heard a 12-string guitar. Peter Gabriel’s theatrical stage persona came about through necessity, filling dead time while Phillips and Mike Rutherford fought with temperamental instruments. The jump from From Genesis To Revelation to Trespass has always looked abrupt; Phillips explains it simply: he and Rutherford spent the eight months between recording and release writing constantly, with ‘Dusk,’ ‘White Mountain’ and ‘Stagnation’ sketched out before the debut had even flopped. Then there’s the stage fright. Not ordinary nerves but sudden mid-performance blanks that came on after glandular fever. He was eighteen and never told anyone. There’s also a brief exchange with Nick Drake, playing the same indifferent university crowds. When Drake learned Phillips had written ‘Let Us Now Make Love,’ he said one word back: “Dangerous.” The conversation also covers his classical studies, the troubled release of The Geese and the Ghost, and writing the title track of Gemini.

Pour démarrer cette émission, direction Bournmouth en territoire Albion  pour le tout nouvel album de BIG BIG TRAIN : "Woodcut". Encore un excellent cru de cette formation mouvante, mais citons parmi les 7 musiciens qui la compose actuellement la violoniste Clare Lindley et bien sur le batteur Nick D'Virgilio de Spock's Beard, l'américain de la bande. Cet opus fait comme il se doit l'objet d'une série de concerts et pour ce qui concerne l'hexagone, une seule date à retenir : le  04 octobre 2026, ce sera Chez Paulette forcément, qu'on se le dise !   David Gilmour, sociétaire de Pink Floyd, vient souffler ses 80 bougies ce 6 mars... Ah quand même ! L'occasion de revenir sur sa carrière solo, et en l'occurrence son premier album solo éponyme paru en 1978 ( juste avant le monstre "The Wall"). Un album à ma connaissance jamais joué par le guitariste lors de ses dernières tournées et c'est dommage car il regorge de belles pépites. A ce propos, je vous conseille l'excellente double galette live "Luck And Strange Concerts", l'occasion d'entendre son dernier opus du même nom mêlé aux standards du Floyd, le tout servi par un production remarquable !  J'en connais un qui ne boude pas son plaisir d'écouter le Grand David, mais qui lui même est particulièrement talentueux ! En revanche son instrument de prédilection à lui c'est plutôt le clavier. Aurélien Goude et sa formation toulousaine ESTHESIS viennent de publier un nouvel extrait vidéo "Connection", issu de leur dernier album "Out Of Step". Un disque qui rencontre un succès bien justifié et dont je n'arrive pas à me lasser ! Mais déjà Aurélien déclare fourmiller d'idées pour le prochain album pour notre plus grande satisfaction !       Un autre talent français qui a fait les belles soirées d'Amarok, c'est ALAN SIMON. Retour sur la grande saga Excalibur, ici avec un extrait du 2ème volet (sur les 5 en attendant un 6ème et ultime épisode) et un extrait interprété au chant par le regretté John Wetton (notamment King Crimson, Asia). Alan qui dans cette saga et plus généralement dans ses gigantesques productions musicales met autour de la même table ronde, les cadors du rock progressif, du folk, du jazz, réunissant ainsi Fairport Convention, Fleetwood Mac, en passant par Ange ou encore et entre autres... …SUPERTRAMP ! Belle transition pour aborder le tout premier album éponyme de cette future bombe des charts, mais nous ne sommes qu'en 1970, la formation n'est pas définitive et bien fragile… Seuls les deux membres fondateurs et auteurs-compositeurs Rick Davies et Roger Hodgson connaitront les heures de gloire avant le départ du second puis le décès de Rick l'année dernière...D'ailleurs sur ce premier LP qui ne contient encore aucun "tube", l'un des membres et 3ème auteur du groupe (uniquement sur cet album) Richard Palmer-James a débuté sa carrière avec John Wetton, et l'un des titres qu'il co-signa avec Davies, "Goldrush" resté inédit, refera surface sur l'ultime album studio des super clochards en 2002, "Slow Motion". Un pure moment de lâcher-prise avec un familier de l'émission, expert en claviers : RICHARD ANTHONY BEAN. Retour sur son dernier album paru l'année dernière "Geostrophic Pathways" et si vous êtes curieux, l'extrait que je vous propose, "Luminous", qui est l'original de l'album fait aussi l'objet d'une version alternative intéressante avec la participation de Paul Landry.  Autre claviériste fort talentueux mais d'une autre génération : Manfred Mann.  En 1974, trois ans après la formation de MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND, autour de son créateur sud africain, les anglais publient déjà leur 5ème opus : "The Good Earth". C'est qu'on ne chômait pas dans les 70's !    Un autre boulimique de travail : Steven Wilson. Entre remixages d'albums de ses illustres aînés,  ses podcasts, son travail de producteur et ses propres albums, l'homme doit vivre dans une dimension parallèle où les journées dépassent les 24 heures… Retour ici sur sa formation PORCUPINE TREE, et un titre que j'avais eu le plaisir de diffuser lors d'une émission spéciale en direct avec mon camarade le Kid  depuis les studios de St Nazaire en décembre à l'occasion d'une émission spéciale lors de la 3ème étape du 30ème anniversaire de votre radio préférée !  Ce titre est issu de l'album "Signify", premier album véritablement réalisé en groupe après les expérimentations de Wilson (ponctuellement appuyé par ses musiciens jusqu' alors) et justement publié en 1996...Quelle grande année !  A propos d'anniversaire, voici une formation canadienne qui célèbre deux décennies de carrière : VERSA. Sur le point d'entrer en studio pour un prochain album à venir en 2027, le trio vient de rééditer son diptyque "A Voyage / A Destination", ayant fait l'objet de sorties en deux parties en 2022 puis 2024. Cette "Roundtrip Special Edition" des deux albums réunis est l'occasion de se procurer l'ensemble de l'œuvre agrémentée de très généreux bonus ! Une œuvre encensée par la critique lors de ses parutions initiales (à juste titre ! ) et un bon investissement pour vos cages à miel ! Mais c'est avec une brèche de 50 ans d'histoire du rock progressif que s'achève ce numéro avec deux formations. La DeLorean s'arrête donc en 1976 avec d'abord les italiens LATTE & MIELE pour leur œuvre sans doute la plus mature de la décennie : "Aquile E Scoiattoli".  D'ailleurs le magazine "Rock & Folk" ne s'y trompe pas en classant cette galette parmi les 20 meilleurs albums du rock progressif italien de la décennie. Ensuite, le propos deviendra plus "commercial" mais c'est une généralité applicable à bon nombre de formation du rock progressif partout dans le monde avant le "revival" que nous connaissons aujourd'hui, même si le marché est plus restreint… Et puis côté américain les PAVLOV'S DOG publiaient la même année leur second album "At The Sound Of The Bell", avec déjà d'excellents guests dont un certain Bill Bruford, batteur de profession qui disposait de temps libre après avoir quitté Yes et en attendant de rejoindre King Crimson. Et puis le saxophoniste de Roxy Music : Andy Mackay, pas mal pour des débutants non ? La formation est d'ailleurs toujours active sous la houlette de David Surkamp et je vous conseille le dernier album en date "Wonderlust" paru en octobre dernier ! Thierry Joigny AMAROK, chaque jeudi, 20h.  

Billy Sherwood discusses the upcoming YES UK tour featuring the complete Fragile album. He traces his path from drummer to bassist, learning the instrument by playing along to YES records, and development in groups Lodgic and World Trade. Sherwood details his first collaboration with Chris Squire in 1989, writing ‘The More We Live – Let Go,’ and his refusal to become YES’s lead singer during the Union era. The conversation centres on Squire’s final weeks, and Squire making Sherwood promise to stay with YES and keep the band moving forward. He also reflects on his extensive tribute album work, and YES’s current recording process for albums The Quest and Mirror to the Sky.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week we were delighted to welcome Yes drummer Jay Schellen back on the YMP. Just like last time, we had a lovely conversation and Jay shared his thoughts about the forthcoming UK and European Fragile Tour as well as the new Yes album that is now being prepared for release in July (hopefully). It's clear from our interview that Jay is totally committed to the future development of the band and believes that the new album will be warmly received. We look forward to that, of course. What unexpected item does Jay take with him on tour? How does his kit differ from Alan White's Has Jay been more involved in the writing of the forthcoming album than his previous Yes records? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Drama and Fragile Live - last time! YES -  FRAGILE UK TOUR 2026 YES Receive Stunning Reviews from USA leg of their FRAGILE tour,  which they bring to the UK in April and May 2026.  “Yes, quite possibly the most important Prog Rock originators and granddaddies of the genre, delivered deep cuts and their groundbreaking classic album, “Fragile,” in its glorious, delightfully indulgent, layered, and ambitious grandiosity tonight.” Sonic Nation, 11/10/25  “Prog-rock stalwarts Yes took the stage...bringing new energy to their classic sound.”  --Danielle Modica, NYS Music, 10/9/25  “Truly prog rock at its finest, if I do say so myself. They've still got the groove, the intensity, and the mythicality that established them as such a unique act over 50 years ago.”  Rock DNA Magazine - 5 stars – 5/10/25 Progressive Rock legends, YES, recently returned from the USA where they performed 31 shows on their Fragile Tour across the country.    They hit the road in the UK once more for a 9-date trek across the country starting on 22nd April at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow and ending with a two-night run at the prestigious Palladium in London on 3rd and 4th May.  The tour will see YES performing their 1971 classic album, ‘Fragile', in its entirety, including such timeless songs as ‘Heart of the Sunrise', ‘South Side of the Sky' and the much loved ‘Roundabout' as well as a selection of songs from right across their illustrious catalogue from their legendary 70`s releases right up to their current album, ‘Mirror To the Sky.' ‘Fragile' was the fourth album by YES cracking the Top 10 in the UK in 1971 achieving Platinum status along the way and was the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The single, ‘Roundabout' was a Top 20 hit in the States with the album breaking into the Top 5 on the Billboard chart receiving a Double Platinum certification in the process.   Steve Howe: “After The Yes Album, everything seemed to align. With Eddie Offord co-producing, and each of us contributing solo pieces, Fragile became a bold statement of creativity. It was Bill Bruford's idea to include individual showcases—it was a bit oddball, but it captured the spirit of the time.” Each show will feature a gallery of work by esteemed artist, Roger Dean, whose paintings have graced the covers of many of YES albums over the years. ‘Fragile' was the first YES album to feature Dean`s iconic artwork. The current line-up of YES features Steve Howe, whose association with Yes began in 1970, along with Geoff Downes, a member of the 1980 ‘Drama' era line-up.  Jon Davison has been lead vocalist in Yes since 2012 while bassist, Billy Sherwood, who was hand-picked by original bassist Chris Squire, has been involved with YES since 1990`s. Jay Schellen, who worked closely with Alan White on drums, completes the line-up. Steve Howe:  “We're all looking forward to the UK dates and will be presenting an intriguing first set then all of ‘Fragile', in its entirety then a slight diversion before our usual final encore. See you all then”  The ‘Fragile' UK Tour Dates 2026 Wed 22nd April          Glasgow                    Royal Concert Hall   glasgowlife.org.uk Fri 24th April              Sheffield                    City Hall                     sheffieldcityhall.co.uk Sat 25th April             Liverpool                    Philharmonic Hall     liverpoolphil.co.uk Mon 27th April          Birmingham               Symphony Hall         bmusic.co.uk Tue 28th April            Bournemouth          Pavilion bournemouthpavillion.co.uk Thur 30th April           Bristol                        Beacon                      bristolbeacon.org Fri 1st May                 Manchester               Bridgewater Hall       bridgewater-hall.co.uk Sun 3rd May              London                      Palladium                  lwtheatres.co.uk Mon 4th May              London                      Palladium                  lwtheatres.co.uk Tickets (subject to booking fees) go on general sale on Friday 19th September at 10am from BookingsDirect.com About YES Steve Howe: guitars, backing vocals (1970 –1981, 1990–1992, 1995–present)

On this Steven's Vinyl Adventures episode, Steven talks about Asia in Asia, the 1983-recorded live album, in honor of the current Asia lineup paying tribute to that setlist on their Japanese tour! But first, some Record Store Day announcements involving Yes, Jon Anderson, and Bill Bruford. And perhaps a sprinkling of Rick Wakeman news, because, why not? Tune in!

The Wolf & Action Jackson were so pleased that Oliver Wakeman agreed to come on First Concert Memories to talk about the first time he saw his father Rick, Rock N Roll Hall of Famer and longtime keyboardist in Yes, on a large arena stage. Though he'd seen Rick play with his solo band many times at theaters as he grew up, he never saw Rick in Yes until the Union Tour in 1991. So when Jon Anderson became disillusioned with the pop leanings of Yes in the late 1980s, he gathered former Yes bandmates Steve Howe, Bill Bruford and his pal Rick Wakeman to form their own version of Yes. Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe not only would release a self-titled album with lead single Brother of Mine in 1988, but would embark on an arena tour billed as An Evening of Yes Music Plus. Oliver and his brother were invited to America to join their father for a week and see 5-6 ABWH shows at the end of the summer of 1988. Oliver shares stories of seeing his dad on the big stage with the other legends of Yes and learning firsthand just how big a star Rick was (and is today). From there we deviate to how a mixing session for the ABWH single I'm Alive actually lead to his eventual tenure in Yes from 2008-2011. Oliver shares how he got up to speed on all the tunes, eventually recording an album with Yes and fun memories from the road. He has a 20th anniversary re-release of his 7th solo album Mother's Ruin coming out March 13, 2026 (click his website below to order) and is embarking on his first tour with Rick in the US in March also. And he'll be touring with his band in the UK in April and November to visit From A Page, his album with Yes. We find Oliver's articulate musings and respect for the fans refreshing and we encourage you to see him live in the US, UK or Europe this year if possible!

The Wolf & Action Jackson were so pleased that Oliver Wakeman agreed to come on First Concert Memories to talk about the first time he saw his father Rick, Rock N Roll Hall of Famer and longtime keyboardist in Yes, on a large arena stage. Though he'd seen Rick play with his solo band many times at theaters as he grew up, he never saw Rick in Yes until the Union Tour in 1991. So when Jon Anderson became disillusioned with the pop leanings of Yes in the late 1980s, he gathered former Yes bandmates Steve Howe, Bill Bruford and his pal Rick Wakeman to form their own version of Yes. Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe not only would release a self-titled album with lead single Brother of Mine in 1988, but would embark on an arena tour billed as An Evening of Yes Music Plus.

SPÉCIALE BEATLES PROG COVERS !  Pour ce premier numéro de 2026 en direct et dès le 1er jour de l'année, il nous fallait bien quelque chose de spécial....Alors mes grandes oreilles se sont tournées vers les fab four, ce petit groupe anglais, fervent admirateur du rock américain des 50's, y ajoutant au cours de sa (finalement courte) carrière sa patte et son incroyable inventivité, versant dans le psychédélisme pour devenir à son tour inspirant pour bon nombre de musiciens de générations à venir et l'un des acteurs préfigurant la musique progressive....Et puis juste parce que je suis fan !

Welcome to an extraordinary edition of the Takin’ A Walk podcast from Buzz Knight music and the “Master of Music Mayhem,” Harry Jacobs. This comprehensive look at weekly music history explores one of the most emotionally complex weeks in rock and roll history, spanning December 8th through December 14th. From tragic losses to groundbreaking debuts, this week encompasses the full spectrum of music history’s most pivotal moments. John Lennon’s Assassination: December 8, 1980 - A Day That Changed Music Forever The episode opens with perhaps the darkest day in rock music history: December 8, 1980, when John Lennon was shot and killed outside The Dakota apartment building in New York City. Buzz Knight and Harry Jacobs provide intimate personal recollections of this Beatles tragedy that shocked the world. For listeners of this weekly music history episode note the Buzz Knight music podcast replay of "Takin A Walk" with the incredible Julian Lennon. The Beatles Reunion: Free as a Bird and the Anthology Era Moving from tragedy to reunion, the episode explores December 9, 1995, when the Beatles released “Free as a Bird”—the first new Beatles music in 24 years. Both hosts were working together at WZLX in Boston during this momentous release, bringing their firsthand perspective to this Beatles reunion moment. The track, built around a John Lennon demo with contributions from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, represented a technological and emotional achievement in music history. Harry admits his initial underwhelm with the track, noting that while “Free as a Bird” generated enormous curiosity worldwide, it never achieved the status of Beatles classics like “Ticket to Ride,” “Help!,” or songs from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The honest assessment reflects how even beloved artists can struggle to recapture past magic, and both hosts acknowledge they haven’t revisited the song since its release. This candid discussion provides valuable context for understanding fan expectations versus artistic reality in music reunion projects. The Blues Brothers Phenomenon: From Saturday Night Live to Cultural Institution December 9, 1978 marks the Saturday Night Live debut of the Blues Brothers, a moment that transformed comedy sketch into legitimate musical force. The episode provides deep insights into how Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi created this blues and R&B supergroup, enlisting Paul Shaffer, Lou Marini, Duck Dunn, and Steve Cropper, who just passed away—the latter two being legendary members of Booker T. and the MGs and key figures in the Stax Records sound that defined Memphis soul music and produced classics like “Soul Man” and “Green Onions.” Howard Shore, who served as Saturday Night Live’s musical director, recognized the potential in Aykroyd and Belushi’s blues performances and helped facilitate their transition from comedy bit to recording artists. The hosts discuss how this comedy-music crossover assembled world-class musicians around a satirical concept that became genuinely respected in the music community. The Blues Brothers represented a unique fusion of comedy and music that introduced younger audiences to blues legends and R&B classics. The conversation explores Tom “Bones” Malone, a guest on Buzz’s podcast, who joined the Blues Brothers band and played trombone with Blood, Sweat & Tears before becoming part of the SNL band. The episode details the evolution of the band from initial concept to full touring and recording entity, with Buzz noting the impressive live performances featuring the Blues Brothers’ acrobatic stage show, where the larger-than-life Belushi performed cartwheels, splits, and handstands that would later inspire Chris Farley’s physical comedy style. The Blues Brothers soundtrack, featuring “Briefcase Full of Blues” and subsequent albums, has “stood the test of time” according to both hosts. Songs like “Rubber Biscuit,” performed with Matt “Guitar” Murphy, and the memorable Aretha Franklin diner scene where Jake orders “four fried chickens and a Coke,” remain embedded in popular culture. The authentic musicianship combined with comedic brilliance created something that transcended both genres, making the Blues Brothers a permanent fixture in American music history. Otis Redding’s Legacy and Tragic Death: December 10, 1967 The episode takes a somber turn with December 10, 1967, the day Otis Redding died in a plane crash near Madison, Wisconsin, along with members of the Bar-Kays. The timing of this tragedy magnifies its impact—Redding had recorded ”(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” just three days earlier, and the song hadn’t yet been released. The track became a posthumous number-one hit, cementing Redding’s status as one of soul music’s greatest artists, though he never lived to see its success. Wings Over America: McCartney’s Epic Live Album - December 10, 1976 December 10, 1976 brought the release of Wings Over America, Paul McCartney’s triple live album documenting his 1975-1976 tour with Wings. The episode explores the rarity of triple albums in music history, particularly live albums of such scope and ambition. The hosts discuss the bootleg album called “Wings from Wings” that allegedly forced McCartney’s hand, rushing the official release to market before bootleggers could dominate sales. Harry reveals the meticulous production process behind Wings Over America, noting that McCartney collected 8,000 hours of live recordings from the tour. The legendary Beatles bassist and singer then personally mixed the album, listening to five different versions of every song before selecting the best performances. The final album was crafted to sound like a single concert experience, though it actually represented the best moments culled from the entire tour—a production approach that set standards for live albums. The episode highlights how “Maybe I’m Amazed” from this album became the definitive version for many fans, surpassing even the studio recording in emotional power and musical execution. The album also featured several Beatles songs including “Yesterday” and “Bluebird,” allowing McCartney to honor his past while showcasing his post-Beatles work with Wings. This balance between Beatles nostalgia and new material demonstrated McCartney’s artistic evolution while satisfying longtime fans. Early Genesis and Progressive Rock Evolution December 11, 1972 saw Genesis release “Foxtrot,” their fifth studio album and a landmark in progressive rock history. The episode explores this Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and the band’s evolution through various lineups. Harry recalls “Watcher of the Skies” as a standout track, while both hosts discuss later Genesis classics like “The Carpet Crawlers” from “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.” The conversation reveals differing perspectives on Genesis eras, with Buzz preferring the Peter Gabriel period and later Phil Collins-fronted work, while Harry admits his fandom developed more during the “Trick of the Tail” era following Gabriel’s departure. This honest exchange reflects how progressive rock bands often created distinct identities across lineup changes, appealing to different audiences in different eras. Buzz shares a memorable concert experience seeing Genesis with double drumming featuring Phil Collins and Bill Bruford (renowned for his work with Yes and King Crimson). This unique configuration represented Genesis at a transitional moment, experimenting with expanded instrumentation before settling into the trio format that would define their later commercial success. The “Trick of the Tail” tour demonstrated the band’s ability to continue without their iconic frontman, eventually leading to Collins taking over lead vocals permanently. The episode takes an unexpected turn to December 12, 1901, when Guglielmo Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio signal from Cornwall to Newfoundland. This moment in broadcasting history laid the foundation for everything that followed, including the careers of Buzz and Harry as radio professionals. Harry jokes about Buzz working for Marconi in 1901, highlighting the self-deprecating humor that characterizes their chemistry while acknowledging that without Marconi’s invention, they would never have met or built careers in radio. This historical perspective reminds listeners that music distribution, radio broadcasting, and the entire infrastructure of modern music industry traces back to pioneering moments like Marconi’s transmission. The evolution of radio technology from those first signals to contemporary podcast production represents over a century of innovation that transformed how humans experience and share music globally. The Clash’s London Calling: Punk’s Masterpiece - December 14, 1979 December 14, 1979 saw the Clash release “London Calling” in the UK, a double album that transcended punk rock limitations to incorporate reggae, rockabilly, ska, and R&B influences. The hosts recall the album’s innovative approach, including the hidden track “Train in Vain,” which became a hit despite not being listed on the original album cover—a marketing trick that created mystique and rewarded attentive listeners.

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of the musical group Gong (as well as some other general stuff) in (just over) twenty five minutes. The band were formed in Paris in 1967 by Australian musician Daevid Allen and English vocalist Gilli Smyth. Band members have included Didier Malherbe, Pip Pyle, Steve Hillage, Mike Howlett, Tim Blake, Pierre Moerlen, Bill Laswell and Theo Travis. Others who have played on stage with Gong include Don Cherry, Chris Cutler, Bill Bruford, Brian Davison, Dave Stewart and Tatsuya Yoshida.Gong's 1970 debut album, Magick Brother, featured a psychedelic rock sound. By the following year, the second album, Camembert Electrique, featured the more psychedelic rock/space rock sound with which they would be most associated.Gong's influence has been seen in artists such as Ozric Tentacles and Insane Clown Posse. Gong's music has also found appreciation from withn the ambient music scene.I do hope you enjoy this episode.Mathew Woodallhttps://www.facebook.com/share/1F15mx4ea3/https://buymeacoffee.com/lownoiseWhy buy me a coffee?Low Noise is proudly ad-free.

One of the more underrated - some might say virtually lost - bands of the early rock era is Delaney & Bonnie.  This singer-songwriter duo is made of session guitarist/vocalist Delaney Bramlett and his wife and former Ikette Bonnie Bramlett.  Just as important as this founding couple is the number of talented musicians they brought into their recordings, with albums often being referenced as recorded by "Delaney & Bonnie and friends."  These "friends" included luminaries such as Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Duane Allman, Greg Allman, Steve Howe, and Rita Coolidge.  D&B Together is the sixth and final album from Delaney & Bonnie.  Originally entitled "Country Life," the album was delivered to Atco/Atlantic Records behind schedule and rushed into distribution.  Although Atlantic executive Jerry Wexler was a friend of the duo, he didn't think the quality was where it needed to be and withdrew it from the market.  He later sold the contract and the album's master tapes to CBS, who reordered the running sequence and re-released it in March 1972.  In addition to frequent collaborators Eric Clapton, Leon Russell, and Duane Allman, this album also contains the work of "friends" like Dave Mason, Billy Preston, and Tina Turner. Despite the title, Delaney and Bonnie would divorce shortly after the album came out.  Drugs were taking their toll on the couple and their relationship could not survive it.  However, they did have a daughter named Bekka Bramlett, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1993-1995 and had a long career as a backing vocalist in the music industry.Bruce presents this underrated rock/soul album for this week's podcast.Comin' HomeThis song was released in December 1969 by Atco Records (US) and Atlantic Records (international).  It was co-written by Bonnie Bramlett and Eric Clapton, and features Eric Clapton.  It went to number 84 on the US pop charts.  The lyrics are about being on the road and getting ready to come home to the one the singer loves.  Only You Know and I KnowDave Mason originally wrote and recorded this song in 1970, and it became his first charting single, going to number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Delaney & Bonnie re-recorded it and took it to number 20 on the same chart.  This single was released in 1971, another single that came out before the album.  I Know Something Good About YouThis is a deeper cut on the album with an upbeat, funky sound.  It was written by Delaney Bramlett and Joe Hicks.  Groupie (Superstar)Most people recognize this as a hit from the Carpenters, but this is the original.  Rita Coolidge came up with the idea after observing female groupies with rock starts in the late 60's, and the song was written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell.  It was the B-side to "Comin' Home."  Richard Carpenter picked it up for the Carpenters, and changed some of the lyrics to be less risqué.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the television series The RookiesThis police action series debuted in October 1972. STAFF PICKS:And You and I by YesWayne leads off the staff picks with an excerpt of the 10+ minute work written by Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, and Chris Squire. The entire song consists of four parts, but the first two were released as a single edit which hovered just outside the top 40 on the Billboard charts.   You Wear It Well by Rod StewartRob brings us the first single from Stewart's fourth studio album, "Never a Dull Moment."  It went to number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 1 on the UK singles chart.  Many consider this an arrangement of Stewarts hit "Maggie May."  As with his previous album, members of the Faces join in as musicians on "Never a Dull Moment."Lean On Me by Bill WithersLynch features a song written and performed by Withers.  It was inspired by his experience growing up in a mining town in West Virginia. The community ethic of that town was something Withers missed when he moved to Los Angeles.  It was the first single from Withers' second album, "Still Bill." Turn to Stone by BarnstormBruce brings us a song inspired by frustration over the Vietnam War, the Nixon Administration, and the protesting that was going on at the time.  Joe Walsh left the James Gang and formed a group called Barnstorm.  The group put out three albums including one with the wonderful title "The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get."  This song is off the group's self-titled debut album.  COMEDY TRACK:My Ding-a-Ling by Chuck BerryWe close out this week's podcast with Berry's double entendre masterpiece, on the charts in this month.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

Dynamic drummer talks about his work in the studio with Ralph Towner and how language often misconstrues the significance and magic of music.

English drummer talks about time displacement and how he created seminal beats for psych rock outfits like Yes and King Crimson.

This Yesshift News Desk Edition begins with an acknowledgement of Oliver Wakeman's Birthday, new work he's alluded to, and an article about his time with Yes. There's also a unique project Adam Wakeman has taken part in, press interviews with Bill Bruford and Steve Howe (separately) containing interesting info, an upcoming Trevor Horn conversation tour, and more.

    Back in the 70s I was a huge prog rock fan and an offshoot of that fandom was discovering jazz fusion. I think Jean-Luc Ponty was the first proper fusion record I ever owned. I believe I was a fusion fan before getting into jazz in general.    I've been planning on creating a fusion mix for months but just haven't gotten around to it. Then last month I was sipping coffee on a cold morning, listening to a fusion playlist, when a couple of laid back tunes came up. I immediately started a new playlist for quiet fusion tracks. And this mix is the result.   It's got some of my all time favorite jazz fusion artists - Alan Holdsworth, Brand X, Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock & Miles Davis. But surprisingly, not my fav fusion artist - Bill Bruford. He just didn't have anything quiet enough that worked with the mix. But at least his guitarist, Alan Holdsworth made the cut.   I hope you enjoy listening to this little diversion as much as I did creating it.   Cheers!     T R A C K L I S T : 00:00   Herbie Hancock - Vein Melter (Head Hunters 1973) 08:50   Allan Holdsworth - Distance vs Desire (Sand 1987) 13:56   John Abercrombie - Timeless (Timeless 1974) 21:38   Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays - September Fifteenth (As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls 1981) 29:06   Jaco Pastorius - Continuum (Jaco Pastorius 1976) 33:30   Soft Machine  - Between (Six 1973) 35:33   Joe Zawinul - In A Silent Way (Zawinul 1971) 40:11   Gong Emotions (Downwind 1979) 44:50   Jean-Luc Ponty - I Only Feel Good With You (Cosmic Messenger 1978) 47:38   Brand X - Black Moon (Masques 1978) 51:55   Miles Davis - It's About Time (The Complete In a Silent Way Sessions 2001) 60:49   e n d

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Mark was back this week and we welcomed YMP listener and Patron Jon Pickles onto the show to talk about the time he was a 'tea boy' at Trident Studios in London. You'll need to listen to the interview to hear all about it but Trident was the world-renowned studio where, amongst unnumbered highlights of rock music, Yes recorded overdubs for their first album, Queen recorded their first two albums and The Beatles recorded Let It Be and other seminal songs. Listen out for stories about Rick Wakeman, Bill Bruford, Trevor Horn and many more! A screenshot from the video below showing Trident Studios - note the control room above and the Bechstein Grand piano used by Rick Wakeman, Paul McCartney etc. What did Jon have to do as a 'tea boy'? Who did he meet and work with? What was it like being in Soho in those days? Let us know if you agree with us!

Yes had achieved chart success in the U.S. beginning with their third LP, The Yes Album. Original keyboard player Tony Kaye would be let go after that album, with former Strawbs keyboard player Rick Wakeman joining in mid-1971. Both the albums Fragile and Close to the Edge would be considered both fan and critical favorites, with a successful tour a triple-album live album and concert film in Yessongs. However, during that tour drummer Bill Bruford left for King Crimson and was replaced by Alan White, and Jon Anderson and Steve Howe began working on new music that would become one of the band's most controversial albums - Tales from Topographic Oceans.

We've developed our On First Listen series to give us a chance to explore albums that we didn't know but had heard about for years. Maybe a friend recommended it, perhaps it was popular at a time in our lives when it slipped past us or maybe we'd seen in on all-time lists. King Crimson's debut fit into the third category as many progressive rock fans hold In The Court Of The Crimson King in very high regard. And with many talented line-ups over the years including Greg Lake on bass & vocals, Ian McDonald on keys and many other things, and Robert Fripp on guitar on this album (with future versions featuring John Wetton, Boz Burrell, Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, Adrian Belew, Mel Collins and many, many more) we figured we'd give it a go. However, while the musicianship is off the charts and they experiment with many keys, times and toys (the new mellotron was driving much of their experimental sound), sometimes it's not terribly listenable. 21st Century Schitzoid Man is abrupt and in your face as a protest to the Vietnam War but isn't a toe tapper. The wistful I Listen To The Wind is 180 degree turn as a lovely ballad but is more than 6 minutes long. And Epitaph, Moonchild (nothing like the Iron Maiden song) and The Court Of The Crimson King though they have moments of beauty and style fail to land in the fun zone. While many will appreciate the music for it's complexity and degree of difficulty, it's not an album you put on in the background of a party. Perhaps our blues based rock brains aren't mature enough to understand but we find 70s era Yes and Genesis far easier to digest and enjoy. Note: We recorded this a year before releasing it as we planned for it to be our first On First Listen but scheduling necessities caused us to leave it on the shelf. We mention that it's 54th anniversary is coming up but as we release this it's the 55th anniversary of original release. And it was before we interviewed director Toby Amies about his fabulous documentary King Crimson: In The Court Of The Crimson King for episode 158.

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is the second edition of the broadcast releases special. The first was way back in November, 2016. It is time to do it again with a new batch of previously broadcast goodies. Every piece of music on this show was originally broadcast on radio or television, and then subsequently released on cd or video. Because there were two major outlets for such broadcasts, the BBC in the UK and The King Biscuit Flower Hour syndicated broadcast in the US, those will be the major sources for the music here. However, the show does feature broadcasts from other sources including an internet only source. Most, but not all, of the music here is performed live. So get set for that old-time feel of the radio broadcast event on Sound Chaser. Playlist1. Porcupine Tree - Where We Would Be [Radio III Poland 6/4/01], from Warszawa2.

Steven talks about some news again! The Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks single "Shine On" is out now! But before going into that, Steven touch on other news topics. There's a surprising addition to the Cruise to the Edge lineup, for example, and Bill Bruford will be involved in a conversation in conjunction with the upcoming Progject tour. Steven will even review the Jazz Sabbath Show he attended last night at the Catalina Jazz Club, which featured Adam Wakeman, Tim Landers, and Tal Bergman playing jazz versions of Black Sabbath songs. He acquired both albums on vinyl, so will also do a Steven's Vinyl Adventures segment here. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yesshift/support

In 1974, in the wake of the release of their magnum opus, Red, Robert Fripp made the decree "King Crimson is completely over. For ever and ever." And he meant it... for a time. For the next few years, he left the music industry completely to focus on himself and his spirituality, but he wouldn't be out for long. In the late 70s into 1980, Fripp was pulled back into the fold, laying down guitar work for legends such as David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, and Daryl Hall. Finally, the need to be in a group resurfaced, and he enlisted Adrien Belew (who had just come off the "Remain in Light" tour) and Tony Levin (a master of the Chapman Stick) to join himself and Bill Bruford in a New Wave band calling itself Discipline. It wasn't very long before it became apparent that this grouping was the next incarnation of King Crimson, and in 1981, they wowed the rock world with a completely new sound for the band. It was New Wave, but still with all the Prog polyrhythms that defined them in the past. Whatever you think of this point in their discography, it's clear they were masters of reinvention.

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are with guest Brad Birzer. Brad is the Russell Amos Kirk Chair in American Studies and Professor of History at Hillsdale College. He is also the co-founder of and Senior Contributor at The Imaginative Conservative, and the author of a number of books, including Neil Peart: Cultural (Re)Percussions. Find him online at bradbirzer.com or @bradleybirzer on Twitter.Brad's Music Pick: YesTell the moon dog, tell the march hare! We take you close to the edge of the south side of the sky this week as we discuss the early adventures of Britain's answer to all the questions raised by hippies during the Seventies, the New Age of Atlantic: Yes. Yes were one of the pillars of British progressive rock music, but also (perhaps surprisingly) a major commercial success in America long before their peers. They were also a truly singular band during their lengthy heyday; the band underwent endless lineup changes as personalities clashed and artistic visions ran amok, and yet they have always sounded like themselves and nobody else successfully has.Starting with local janitor Jon Anderson on countertenor vocals, Pete Banks on Hendrixian guitar, Tony Kaye on groovy late-Sixties B3 organ, fussily precise jazz drummer Bill Bruford keeping time, and Chris Squire playing a bass so aggressive it intimidates people into crossing to the other side of the street, Yes exploded out of London's club-gigging scene after drawing inspiration from watching a newly born King Crimson play the circuit. Their early style mixed originals -- first halting, then increasingly assured -- with spectacularly imaginative covers of everything from West Side Story to Buffalo Springfield and Simon & Garfunkel. But as Banks was jettisoned for Steve Howe, and then Tony Kaye traded in for Rick Wakeman, Yes ascended from a series of records beginning with The Yes Album and Fragile (1971) to superstardom, with all that entailed: sidelong songs, triple live albums, and extended soaks in the topographic oceans. All set to some of the most inscrutable lyrics but gorgeous music written during the decade.So turn on your lava lamp and get ready to call over valleys of endless seas as you and I climb crossing the shape of the morning -- it's time to sink into a elevated musical fantasy world created by Yes during this, the first part of their career. We take the story up through Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973); next time around, we'll get a relayer to go for the one without too much drama, but for now click play and enjoy the sound of perpetual change. 

Join us as we celebrate the birthdays of Bill Bruford, Rick Wakeman, and Jay Schellen (all in one go given our schedules) and talk about stuff related to them, including news of the upcoming Fragile and King Crimson USA rereleases coming from Burning Shed, the Songs from Tsongas concert turning 20 this week, and Mirror to the Sky turning a year old! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yesshift/support

This is a focus on King Crimson. This is one of the essential Progressive Rock bands of all time, and the band have incorporated many music styles from jazz rock, psychedelia and then updated their sound again for the 1980s. This is Robert Fripp's creative genius expressed thru the varying lineups of the band. Please have a look at these special interest sites.If you would, please make a donation of love and hope to St. Jude Children's HospitalMake an impact on the lives of St. Jude kids - St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (stjude.org)Get your Vegan Collagen Gummies from Earth & Elle, available thru Amazon at this link.Amazon.com: Earth & Elle Vegan Collagen Gummies - Non-GMO Biotin Gummies, Vitamin A, E, C - Plant Based Collagen Supplements for Healthier Hair, Skin, Nails - 60 Chews of Orange Flavored Gummies, Made in USA : Health & HouseholdKathy Bushnell Website for Emily Muff bandHome | Kathy Bushnell | Em & MooListen to previous shows at the main webpage at:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1329053Pamela Des Barres Home page for books, autographs, clothing and online writing classes.Pamela Des Barres | The Official Website of the Legendary Groupie and Author (pameladesbarresofficial.com)Listen to more music by Laurie Larson at:Home | Shashké Music and Art (laurielarson.net)View the most amazing paintings by Marijke Koger-Dunham (Formally of the 1960's artists collective, "The Fool").Psychedelic, Visionary and Fantasy Art by Marijke Koger (marijkekogerart.com)For unique Candles have a look at Stardust Lady's Etsy shopWhere art and armor become one where gods are by TwistedByStardust (etsy.com)For your astrological chart reading, contact Astrologer Tisch Aitken at:https://www.facebook.com/AstrologerTisch/For booking Children's parties and character parties in the Los Angeles area contact Kalinda Gray at:https://www.facebook.com/wishingwellparties/I'm listed in Feedspot's "Top 10 Psychedelic Podcasts You Must Follow". https://blog.feedspot.com/psychedelic_podcasts/Please feel free to donate or Tip Jar the show at sonictyme@yahoo.com

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Mark and I had a great time this week thinking about interesting or unusual Yes musical textures. We both came up with 3 examples that we thought were surprising or different so do have a look below to hear the clips we are referring to and add your own examples to the comments section. You may be surprised with some of our suggestions - that's somewhat the idea, after all. What interesting textures can you think of in Yes music? Is it down to instrumentation, arrangement or a combination? Do Mark and I choose the same things again? https://youtu.be/2NhfSgV81Lk?si=79bCEUyQJCmKZTWr&t=294 Kevin - Church bell texture! https://youtu.be/I4EPABbDdCQ?si=30GQZ5lPIDGnwJ4t&t=859 Mark - Weird electronic sounds in the drum solo https://youtu.be/pkrz5PBhhtM?si=tSYyLMSK4mc83k1w Unable to embed this one - Mark - Tom Brislin playing the electronic sounds in perfect synch with Alan White - Ritual https://youtu.be/BBb5mcz8nik?si=TtKnrjBtDgo3dbMQ Kevin - the orchestral and band textures throughout Dreamtime, especially when the orchestra takes over towards the end https://youtu.be/GGaai0AII3E?si=9q3q2-cCLxfvaeLT&t=479 Mark - Steve Howe's Coral Sitar guitar sounds in the mix https://youtu.be/ydAANC7sl0Y?si=O-cJYtQmIts8XFNq&t=182 Mark - The Coral Sitar again in Siberian Khatru https://youtu.be/Z-cEyiM9adE?si=R0E5Ax3cvoWH-i6F Mark - Sitar in the introduction https://youtu.be/3W36uAXOMxw?si=PPvCLC1X3keofDof Mark - A real Sitar this time played by Deepak Khazanchi on It Can Happen from 90125 https://youtu.be/xN68e-ZVaqM?si=r90MkBuV72Mks9dC Mark - this is the Danelectro Coral Sitar guitar as used by Steve Howe https://youtu.be/L7ccHlqQ1M8?si=0uRPU5w5GLojtDZI Kevin - the amazing texture of Tony Levin's Chapman Stick and Bill Bruford's electronic drums https://youtu.be/YWZKAadMJiQ?si=_BIuk4_QlJb6OPy0&t=59 Mark - Alan White's amazing electronic drum sounds https://youtu.be/Hrowi4hHz8A?si=hWM5FIizubQ7GXcR&t=212 Mark - Chris Squire's harmonica solo!

When the history of late 70s punk music is discussed, a point often raised is that bands like The Sex Pistols and the Damned and The Saints were reacting to the over complexity of prog bands. Certainly, it makes for a good quote, but Steve Jones is on the record as being a fan of Fleetwood Mac and Queen and other “dinosaur” bands punk was supposed to sweep away. I can't recall for sure, but I THINK I read somewhere that Yes was some punk guitarist's favourite band. Really, if so much of that early era of British punk was about great pop songs with buzzsaw guitars, I believe I can make a case that Yes was a band (unlike, say, early Genesis) that also played around with standard pop structure…..just for considerably longer than 2 minutes at a time. There's the link between punk and prog (at least Yes' approach to it). Welcome to episode 174 of Love That Album podcast. For the first LTA of 2024, I am joined once again by Bondi Cigars' guitarist Shane Pacey to talk about what is often considered the pinnacle of prog rock, Yes' 1972 album Close To The Edge. We talk about rock music's progression to....ummm...prog rock, the Bill Bruford vs Alan White debate, and we also bring up Bach, King Crimson, AC/DC and Cossack Funk (you read that right!!!). …..and Shane tells a first hand account of an unexpected musician who was a big fan of Yes (and was Shane's first guitar teacher.....you gotta tune in to find out....) We had a lot of fun with this one You can find Shane's music on line at https://shanepaceytrio.com.au/ or https://bondicigars.com/ or https://shanepacey.bandcamp.com/album/the-gardener.

This week's guest is THE Bill Bruford. Bill is a legendary drummer whose illustrious career spans over five decades, marked by pioneering contributions to progressive rock, jazz fusion, and beyond. Emerging onto the music scene in the late 1960s, Bruford gained prominence as the drummer for progressive rock icons Yes, where his intricate rhythms and dynamic playing style helped define the band's sound. His tenure with Yes produced several critically acclaimed albums, including "Close to the Edge" and "Fragile," solidifying his reputation as one of the foremost drummers of his generation. In addition to his work with Yes, Bruford became a founding member of the seminal progressive rock band King Crimson, where his innovative drumming continued to captivate audiences and influence generations of musicians. Over the years, Bruford's musical journey evolved, leading him to explore jazz fusion with his own band, Earthworks, and delve into experimental projects that pushed the boundaries of musical expression. A prolific recording artist, respected educator, and insightful author, Bill Bruford's multifaceted career is a testament to his unwavering dedication to pushing the limits of creativity and leaving an indelible mark on the world of music.

On this Jeff Berlin interview: his early childhood trauma and how it impacted him, “falling apart” from years of emotional pain and his subsequent recovery… his awkward first meeting with Eddie Van Halen, early lessons learned playing jingles in NYC after Berklee… great story how he hooked up with Bill Bruford and the doors that opened up for him as a result, his Top 3 Musical experiences (VERY cool), funniest things that happened to him in the studio and on stage, backstories to some of the tracks on his new Jack Songs LP & hard-earned lessons he learned from making this record… best decision he ever made, great advice for musicians, and LOADS of stories. Awesome interview, very courageous and sincere Cool Guitar, Music & ELG T-Shirts!: http://www.GuitarMerch.com  Originally from NYC, Jeff is one of the most highly-regarded jazz and fusion bassists of the modern era, and a well-respected bass educator. He's known for his tone and technique, and has been one of the major figures in firmly establishing the electric bass as a solo instrument. His career took off in 1977 when Yes founding drummer Bill Bruford handpicked him to play in his band. Jeff's other recording and performance credits include a who's who of jazz and rock: Larry Coryell, Pat Martino, John McLaughlin, Yes, Eddie Van Halen, Frank Zappa & many more. Just to address this up front, Jeff's done dozens of interviews on the controversial comments he's made about bass players learning by academic teaching vs being self- taught. We're not going to address this issue, because Jeff's owned a lot of his mistakes here and has made public apologies to the people he needed to. But what we will talk about today is the genesis of what prompted the fairly dramatic shift in his position, and his ongoing emotional recovery from the things that contributed to this situation in the first place.  Subscribe & Website:  https://www.everyonelovesguitar.com/subscribe Support this show:  http://www.everyonelovesguitar.com/support
