Ce numéro commence à l'heure zéro : "In The Court Of Crimson King", par  KING CRIMSON, 1969, LE disque considéré par beaucoup comme étant l'acte de naissance du rock progressif avec son rock aux influences musiques multiples : du classique au jazz, au psychédélique ou l'expérimental. Certes la voie avait été préparée par d'autres acteurs depuis 1966/67, notamment par les Moody blues, que je cite car c'est à leur producteur Tony Clark qu'ont fait appel les sujets de ce roi cramoisi pour finalement le remercier et produire eux-mêmes cet album, chose encore très marginale à l'époque. Extrait de cet album pour lequel Robert Fripp et ses amis ont omis de créditer votre serviteur qui a prêté sa bouille sur la pochette ! (vous comprenez pourquoi je fais de la radio et pas de la télé !!) Quelques années plus tard, la vague punk, new wave et la direction de plus en plus commerciale et de moins en moins artistique des majors aura raison des apprentis sorciers de ce courant musical. Heureusement, le néo-prog est arrivé à la rescousse dès le début des années 80 ! Si MARILLION n'est pas le 1er groupe à relever le défi (Pendragon était né juste avant mais leur 1er album est paru après "Script For A Jester's Tear"), le groupe vocalement représenté alors par Fish était alors le vaisseau amiral de ce rock progressif nouveau. Mais pour le représenter, j'ai choisi un titre issu de la discographie période Steve Hogarth qui fêtait son 70ème anniversaire la semaine dernière (bien qu'il ait oublié de m'inviter !). Extrait de "Brave" en 1994. Petit rappel, le groupe passera par la France en fin d'année avec Lazuli en 1ère partie mais attention, c'est presque partout complet !  Retour sur le rock opéra de FOREIGN : "The Symphonie Of The Wandering Jew". Souvenez vous, le 9 avril dernier (le podcast est bien sur toujours disponible sure cette plateforme) , je vous présentais le single "Activated", extrait de cet album initialement paru en 2014 mais dont deux titres ont été réenregistrés et ainsi publiés cette année par son créateur Ivan Jacquin (également aux commandes de Psychanoïa et Raging Project). Le 2ème single, "By The Sea", à l'instar d' "Activated", est réinterprété par Amanda Somerville, une voix qui compte dans le monde du métal symphonique, je  laisse vos cages à miel vous l'assurer !     Décidément ce premier semestre 2026 aura été riche (enfin plutôt dépensier ! ) pour les fans de YES… Dès le début d'année, le groupe aujourd'hui mené par Steve Howe à publié une réédition de "Yes Symphonic Live", puis du monumental "Tales From Topographic Oceans" (1973) avec notamment son remixage par Steven Wilson et autres performances alternatives et en live. Il y a quelques semaines est ressorti "From A Page", un disque particulièrement intéressant dans la discographie yessienne ! A l'origine, il s'agit d'un EP regroupant quelques titres écrits principalement par Oliver Wakeman, héritant des claviers de son célèbre papa Rick, ce dernier présent dans la grande période du groupe et notamment "Tales..." Ces titres de "From A Page" ont été écrits entre 2008 et 2011, période de réactivation de Yes, sans son chanteur d'origine Jon Anderson en "arrêt maladie"... mais avec la voix du canadien Benoit David. Puis ont refait surface les deux membres des Buggles, Trevor Horn et Geoff Downes (ce dernier étant depuis le claviériste officiel de Yes). Ce duo avait intégré la formation pour l' unique album "Drama" en 1980. Un titre, "Fly From Here" avait alors été ébauché et mis de côté.  Alors en 2011, fort de ces retrouvailles, Wakeman, le fils est invité à laisser sa place à Downes et c'est donc avec cette équipe de "Drama" que le groupe va publier l'album "Fly From Here".  Et puis 2015 est marquée par le décès du bassiste Chris Squire (seul membre a avoir joué sur tous les albums depuis son origine). Oliver Wakeman va alors proposer à ses anciens collègues de publier le matériel enregistré avec lui, ce qui sera validé par Yes et le mini album "From A Page" sera publié avec une édition bonus proposant un live de l'époque (enregistré à Lyon). Cette nouvelle version de "From A Page" est intéressante car outre les titres déjà présents sur la 1er version de 2019 (mais ici remasterisés), l'album propose aussi des titres de travail de cette époque 2008/2011 retravaillés ultérieurement par l' équipe de "Fly From Here" voire carrément inédite pour deux d'entre eux. Résultat, cette nouvelle édition de "From A Page" est plus cohérente et complete que la 1ère version et offre des versions alternatives aux titres entendus la 1ère fois sur "Fly From Here" avec un mixage que je trouve plus favorable ou en tout cas mieux équilibré avec les claviers. En comparaison, ceux tenus par Downes figurant sur "Fly From Here" paraissent plus en retrait. A vous de vous faire votre opinion mais cet album "From A Page", même s'il est plus orienté rock-pop qu'un "Close To The Edge" (on n'est pas à la même époque ! ) reste pour moi un excellent opus ! Extrait dans cette émission avec l'un des deux inédits de cette réédition, un titre à plusieurs voix dont celle de son compositeur Chris Squire en lead, émotion garantie … Et ne rangez pas trop vite votre monnaie, prochaine sortie officielle de Yes dans trois semaines avec cette fois un "vrai" nouvel album qui aura pour titre "Aurora".  Direction la Nouvelle-Zélande pour découvrir (en tout cas pour moi) une artiste atypique :  ALDOUS HARDING. Je la découvre avec déjà son 5ème album "Train On The Island". A l'origine musicienne plutôt folk, j'ai trouvé plus que cela dans sa musique. Aldous Harding dépasse ce genre pour des compositions et des sons plus alternatifs avec parfois des influences psychédélique. J'ai pu lire qu'il y avait une certaine filiation avec un certain Sy Barrett, et ce n'est pas faux ! On retrouve sur cet album (j'avoue ne pas encore avoir écouté les précédents) une interprétation oscillant entre minimalime et fantasque. Extrait dans ce numéro et découverte d'une artiste, qui certes ne fait pas à proprement parler de rock progressif mais sa musique s'intègre parfaitement dans notre univers ! A découvrir pourquoi pas sur scène, par exemple le 12 juin, salle Pleyel à Paris ?  Un p'tit tour du côté du rock progressif italien avec MARY NEWSLETTER, formation débarquée dans le rock prog au début des 90's. Malgré un nom mystérieusement anglo-saxon, le groupe joue bien en version originale. Un extrait de leur album "Del Perduto Corragio" et un son assez atypique, mélange de ce rock progressif particulièrement lyrique comme il se doit de l'autre côté des Alpes mais avec un apport psyché/expérimental tel que pouvait l'être un Pink Floyd pré-Dark Side Of The Moon, le tout très bien produit. Du bon son pour nos oreilles gourmandes !  Si "Cunégonde" nous rend visite régulièrement tout au long de la saison, j'ai ce soir mis de côté ce nouvel album d' ANGE pour un voyage dans le temps, plus précisément en 1974, et dans un univers moyenâgeux et fantasmagorique avec un extrait de l'excellent "Au Delà Du Délire". Un album qui ne rappellera pas forcément de bons souvenirs scéniques à son auteur Christian Décamps qui s'était littéralement explosé un talon lors des répétitions de la tournée consécutive à la sortie de ce disque, l'obligeant à chanter sur un fauteuil roulant lors des premières représentations.    Connaissez-vous DENNIS ATLAS ? Personnellement pas jusqu'à présent malgré un 4ème album solo à son actif et son entrée comme claviériste et choriste dans le gigantesque monde du groupe Toto depuis 2024. Ce californien a été bien éduqué puisque nourrit de Styx ou Queen par exemple, nous propose donc cet excellent opus "Principle" qui vient tout juste de sortir du four. Une bonne part à déguster dans ce numéro. A l'instar de Toto, l'histoire de DEEP PURPLE est parfois ardue à suivre, puisqu'en 1971 à la sortie de "Fireball" il y avait déjà eu quelques modifications depuis la naissance de la formation en 1968. Ils en étaient déjà à leur 5ème album et malgré toutes les difficultés, le groupe est toujours actif avec un nouvel album attendu le 3 juillet prochain : " Splat !". Ce sera leur 23ème forfait en studio et l'occasion de profiter de leur passage dans la région à deux reprises : le 18 juin au Hellfest et le 13 novembre au Zenith de Nantes ! En attendant, retour sur "Fireball".   En matière d'instabilités de formations, l'émission se termine avec un champion du genre puisque GONG ne compte plus aucun membre de la formation d'origine suite au décès de son créateur Daevid Allen en 2015 (il avait fondé Gong en 1967 à Paris où il était exilé). Mais surtout les membres restants ne collaborent au projet que depuis quelques années (aucun ne l'a connu au 20ème siècle), on peut s'interroger plus que pour d'autre cas similaires (Yes) de la légitimité du nom, alors que des branches dissidentes ont par le passé œuvré sous d'autres noms mais avec tout de même des membres d'origine ou presque  … Cela dit, je ne suis pas là pour débattre de l'usage du nom de Gong, mais vous proposer un extrait de son nouvel album "Bright Spirit", rassurant sur le respect de l'héritage des aînés, une galette fort recommandable !  Thierry Joigny AMAROK, chaque jeudi, à 20h

He and Mark bang on at length about the recent Oliver Wakeman concert with his band at Worcester, the remastered and expanded From A Page album and the first single from the new Yes album, Aurora. My thanks to everyone who has wished me well, including Brian Breen, Chris Berry and Gary Betts and his wife and most importantly Mark, who has kept the wheels turning at YMP Towers brilliantly. There are also some thoughts from Daniel and Amanda about the new From A Page, especially the inclusion of the song, Aliens and do check out the show notes for a video of our own Geoff Bailie discussing the new Yes single with his Prog Report compatriots.

It's always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn't really a Yes song. We're not trying to echo the past; we're carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new”. The band are also launching the first single from the album, and you can watch the beautiful animated video for the title track, created by Matt Hutchings (Greg Lake, Oasis, Iron Maiden),  here: https://youtu.be/ETEGJTM6plw ‘Aurora' will be available as a Limited Deluxe 180g Light Green 2LP+2CD+Blu-ray Artbook & Poster, as well as a Ltd Deluxe 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook, both featuring the stunning artwork of Roger Dean and Freya Dean, as well as a bonus disc of instrumentals, and a blu-ray featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound & 24bit stereo mixes (by Curtis Schwartz).

There was no preconceived concept at the start, just a collection of musical fragments that gradually began to find one another and take form. Among these early sketches was a piece titled “Aurora,” and it quickly became clear that the name carried certain gravity. It suggested light, emergence, and a sense of vastness, qualities that resonated deeply with the band. Jon Davison remembers how “the title immediately resonated with Steve Howe and sparked visual inspiration for artist Roger Dean, setting a conceptual tone that would guide the project.” Work on ‘Aurora' began almost as soon as the ‘Classic Tales of Yes' tour ended in 2024. The idea of a new album surfaced quickly and with the label's encouragement, the band had the time to develop material organically. Rather than gathering in a single studio for months, they embraced a modern workflow; ideas were born in home studios, shaped independently, and then woven together through constant collaboration. Downes and Howe often acted as the central creative axis, with Howe, as producer, serving as the point through which all ideas eventually flowed. Across ‘Aurora', each track carries its own character. Some echo the classic Yes approach, others push into new territory, but together they form a cohesive whole that honours the band's heritage while embracing forward motion. With their 24th studio album, Yes demonstrate not just longevity, but a sustained curiosity, a desire to keep exploring, keep refining and keep discovering their capacity to create.    YES is: Steve Howe Geoff Downe Jon Davison Billy Sherwood Jay Schellen YES ONLINE: www.yesworld.com   www.facebook.com/yestheband   www.x.com/yesofficial www.youtube.com/user/yesofficial   www.instagram.com/yesofficial   INSIDEOUTMUSIC ONLINE: www.insideoutmusic.com www.youtube.com/InsideOutMusicTV www.facebook.com/InsideOutMusic www.instagram.com/insideoutmusic/ https://insideoutmusic.bandcamp.com https://youtu.be/ETEGJTM6plw?si=5W21K63dk8qY2qTU Barry Plummer 2026 Calendar is still available!

Steven goes over news items of the last couple weeks, including three more European dates for Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks, Trevor Horn tour dates in December, the Wakeman & Son setlist (at the very end of this episode) and more. Plus, he reviews two new releases: Asia - Live in England, and Oliver Wakeman's album Mother's Ruin 20th Anniversary Edition. And at the very end, he goes through the Wakeman & Son setlist.

As we've learned after 6 years of doing the show, once you interview someone you have a greater interest in seeing them play live. Maybe because you're invested in their career, maybe because they've shared stories of the inspiration for their music or maybe you just find them charming and want to support them. All of the above are true for Oliver Wakeman as he's been on our show several times and has shared stories about growing up with a famous father in Rick Wakeman. And because Oliver shared that Rick wasn't able to be around much as he was growing up and didn't really sit down with him at the piano, when we heard they were touring together as Wakeman & Son, we knew we had to see the show. The nearly 2 hour show gave both Rick and Oliver opportunities to play their solo material but they also accompanied each other which made for a special evening. Early on they played a suite of Yes music and jumped back and forth between compositions each of them wrote and played on. Rick also treated us to a suite of The Six Wives of Henry VIII, some outtakes from Journey To The Center Of The Earth and King Arthur. In between songs, both of them regaled us with stories and Rick offered up his legendary wit, especially when it was about needing bathroom breaks at his age. The icing on the cake was Oliver making time to see The Wolf and The Wolfcub after the show. He was as generous with his time as he was with his talent and we saw both the Wakemans enjoying their time together as father and son which was wonderful to see. It's a brief tour but if you have the chance, definitely see Wakeman & Son before they head back to the UK.

Max Foizey chats with Oliver Wakeman, reviews Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, They Will Kill You, and talks about the best movies about characters playing games.

As we've learned after 6 years of doing the show, once you interview someone you have a greater interest in seeing them play live. Maybe because you're invested in their career, maybe because they've shared stories of the inspiration for their music or maybe you just find them charming and want to support them. All of the above are true for Oliver Wakeman as he's been on our show several times and has shared stories about growing up with a famous father in Rick Wakeman. And because Oliver shared that Rick wasn't able to be around much as he was growing up and didn't really sit down with him at the piano, when we heard they were touring together as Wakeman & Son, we knew we had to see the show. The nearly 2 hour show gave both Rick and Oliver opportunities to play their solo material but they also accompanied each other which made for a special evening. Early on they played a suite of Yes music and jumped back and forth between compositions each of them wrote and played on. Rick also treated us to a suite of The Six Wives of Henry VIII, some outtakes from Journey To The Center Of The Earth and King Arthur. In between songs, both of them regaled us with stories and Rick offered up his legendary wit, especially when it was about needing bathroom breaks at his age. The icing on the cake was Oliver making time to see The Wolf and The Wolfcub after the show. He was as generous with his time as he was with his talent and we saw both the Wakemans enjoying their time together as father and son which was wonderful to see. It's a brief tour but if you have the chance, definitely see Wakeman & Son before they head back to the UK.

CarneyShow 03.13.26 Oliver Wakeman, Amanda Knox, Will Wisner, Tom O'Keefe, Brendan Wiese by

My February 101 Dimensions program features more than 90 minutes of great electronic/ambient/progressive music from Bioscope, Ian Boddy & Robert Rich, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan, Oliver Wakeman with Steve Howe, and Terry Riley!

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!

In Production: Tales from Topographic OceansListening guide YesBooks.com Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller It was a pleasure once again to welcome Oliver Wakeman onto the YMP. He came along to talk about his new album, Anum Cara, and, as you might expect, I couldn't help throwing a couple of Yes related questions in as well. Listen carefully towards the end of the conversation and you'll hear about an abandoned Yes project that Oliver would have been involved in. Head over to the show notes for this episode to see the videos Oliver has created to accompany the album and why not order yourself a copy of the CD rather than streaming the album. Is this a folk album? Who else is playing? Is that really Oliver on guitar?

Keyboard virtuoso Oliver Wakeman visited us on UAWIL #156 to talk about the John Wetton (Asia, King Crimson, UK) box set as it was being released. We had a wonderful time chatting with Oliver as we are big fans of John Wetton and John had been a mentor and friend to Oliver as they toured together in the early 2000s. We had so much fun that we asked him to come back to promote one of his own projects once he was ready. As Oliver has just released Anam Cara, a solo album 20 years in the making, he was gracious enough to join us again to discuss this beautiful new album. But before you dismiss this as an over the top keyboard showcase, understand that's not this album at all. Oliver talks about how he writes songs in different styles or buckets - Celtic songs, acoustic songs, keyboard prog songs, love songs - and comes up with a theme for each of his solo albums. This album is a Celtic album and though you'll hear some amazing work on the keys from Oliver, you'll also hear a great deal of acoustic melody from guitarist Oliver Day (Fragile). Singer Hayley Griffiths (Riverdance) lends her lovely and powerful voice to give these songs the heart and soul they deserve. With Tory Donockley (Nightwish) and Scott Higham (Pendragon) rounding out the talent that helped bring Oliver's music to light, you have an album rich in texture of which you will discover many layers upon repeated listens. We talk about what Oliver loves about music, how songs can change peoples lives in unexpected ways and when you might be able to see him play live in the future.

Intro music from:Arthemis - Survivor (Destiny's Child Cover)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjYCOtYjCY4The Survivor is a 1981 supernatural horror Australian-British co-production directed by David Hemmings and starring Robert Powell, Jenny Agutter, and Joseph Cotten.In Adelaide, Australia (not Eton in the UK as in the original novel written by James Herbert), airline pilot David Keller (played by Powell) survives the crash of his Boeing 747-200, unhurt despite all 300 passengers dying in the accident. With no memories of the accident, he starts to suffer strange supernatural visions.Director David Hemmings is most famous for his acting roles, including Dildano in Barbarella, Marcus Daly in Dario Argento's Deep Red, and Thomas, the fashion photographer in the hugely successful avant-garde mystery film Blowup – a role turned down by Sean Connery because director Michelangelo Antonioni would not show him the full script but only a seven-page treatment stored in a cigarette packet. Hemmings would later feature in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Connery 37 years later.Robert Powell, best known for his portrayal of a charismatic cult leader/son of a carpenter in the 1977 epic television drama series Jesus of Nazareth, also played secret agent Richard Hannay in The Thirty-Nine Steps, appeared in Ken Russell's Tommy as Captain Walker and, at the request of his friend and golf partner, comedian Jasper Carrott, co-starred in the BBC sitcom The Detectives (which ran for five series!). He also lent his voice to the 2002 rock opera The Hound of the Baskervilles by Clive Nolan and Oliver Wakeman, playing John Watson. Powell was considered for several roles in Lifeforce (featured in episode 39 of this podcast). A founder member of the Social Democratic Party in 1981, he campaigned alongside Barry Norman on behalf of the party's first leader, Roy Jenkins.Jenny Agutter (OBE), who plays the role of Hobbs the clairvoyant (a male character in the novel), is best known for her ongoing role in the inexplicably popular Call the Midwife. She also starred in two adaptations of The Railway Children, the critically acclaimed film Walkabout, and, relevant to this podcast, An American Werewolf in London (listen to episode 26 for more info). The film also features Joseph Cotten, (best man at Orson Welles's wedding to Rita Hayworth) appeared in five films selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant. In addition to these classics, he appeared in many films and TV programs, including, pertinent to this podcast, one episode of Tales of the Unexpected. He later admitted, "I was in a lot of junk. I get nervous when I don't work." This was his final motion picture, suffering a stroke shortly after working on it.James Herbert, author of the source novel, sent a note to David Hemmings offering his assistance. He never received a reply, and in 1988 dismissed this film and the later Deadly Eyes (the film adaptation of The Rats) as "They're terrible...absolute rubbish. I can only say - don't blame me." The Survivor was Herbert's third novel, published in 1976, coming after The Rats and The Fog.The music for this film is by Brian May! …but not the one you're thinking of... This is the Australian Brian May, who has an impressive musical CV, including: The Blue Lagoon, Gallipoli, Mad Max, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Missing in Action 2 and Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.This was the first Australian movie to cost more than $1 million (Australian) to make. The location was shifted to OZ as a complex tax dodge, allowing English investors to completely write-off on the whole film.

Oliver Wakeman Talks to Phil Aston - The Now Spinning Magazine Podcast This is the second time I have interviewed Oliver, last time we talked about John Wetton and his time with YES. In this interview we talk about his new Celtic Prog tinged album 'Anam Cara'. We go through each track and it is amazing to hear the stories behind each song and how the album came together. This will certainly be in my top albums of 2024. All the songs and lyrics are composed by Oliver and the band he has pulled together to record this a just stunning. A special mention needs to go to Hayley Griffiths who has such a wonderful voice and here interpretation of Oliver Wakemans lyrics is amazing. The album also features Oliver Day: David Mark Pearce, Troy Donockley, Robert McClung, Mick Allport, Steve Amadeo & Scott Higham. Phil Aston | Now Spinning Magazine

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week, Mark and I talked about the situation in Yes at the time Geoff Downes rejoined for Fly From Here - around 2010-11. It's a contentious time - but then again when isn't with Yes? Oliver Wakeman had to make way for the return of Downes who had worked very closely with Steve Howe in Asia for many years and, when Trevor Horn was brought in to produce the new album, perhaps the writing was on the wall for a Downes redux. All was not well between certain other members of the band either... Why did Geoff return (trip)? Whose idea was it? Why was Oliver Wakeman 'let go'?

Following up on last week's 2023 in Review Part 1: Albums, Authors & Podcasters, now we're focused on the concerts that we covered on the show (and the ones we didn't), the artists & legends we interviewed and reveal our Top 10 Ugly American Werewolf in London episodes of 2023. Thought The Wolf had to leave Amsterdam for his homeland early in 2023, he didn't sell all the concert tickets he bought. He made a trip back in April to see Metallica on the first 2 nights of their No Repeat Weekend Tour. And The Wolf met up in Amsterdam with Action Jackson over the summer to take him to his first ever Iron Maiden concert. It was so great they went to see the boys again in Antwerp and then enjoyed some unexpected encounters at the hotel. Plus our host took The Wolfcub to see KISS one last time. We love talking with the talented musicians who make the rock music we love and we were honored to host an array of great guests from up and coming artists like Jimmy Maddon to legends like Terry Reid and Jim McCarty of The Yardbirds. Talking to Steve Kilbey of The Church was a treat and getting to know rockers in their prime like Scott Holiday of Rival Sons and Oliver Wakeman who we'll be seeing for years to come And stay tuned as we unveil our Top 10 episodes (by download) for 2023. It was a great year for The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast and we thank everyone for listening. Here's looking forward to a killer 2024!

Fans of our show know that The Wolf and Action Jackson have a special place in their hearts for 80s prog/pop rock band Asia. While we've spoken with keyboardist Geoff Downes (UAWIL 79) and drummer Carl Palmer (UAWIL 80), we never had the opportunity to speak with singer/bassist John Wetton as he passed away before we started our show. However, there have been many celebrations of John's life and works in 2023 and to tell us more about the kind of person John Wetton was, we've enlisted the great Oliver Wakeman to offer some stories about the man himself. Oliver toured with Yes during 2009-2011 and during that time, befriended John Wetton as Asia was touring with Yes. Despite Oliver being a generation younger and the fact that John had worked with his father Rick, John took Oliver under his wing and they formed a bond that had a big impact on Oliver (and John too). Oliver relates some stories of his time with John including watching him play every night, how John checked in on him as he slated to transition out of Yes and one time John joined Oliver and his band to play Heat of the Moment. Oliver will also give us some tidbits about music he's working on, including his plan to play songs he wrote with Yes on From A Page live this spring at Winters End Festival. Oliver is helping to promote the new box set John Wetton: An Extraordinary Life which is out November 24 around the world - an 8 disc set of his solo albums with bonus tracks and discs full of rarities, unreleased gems and live cuts (more information below). We had a great time chatting with Oliver and hope you'll enjoy our conversation about John, Yes, prog music and more!
