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.

I was exempt because I needed to act as referee and moderator - or at least that's my excuse. Steven Wilson Remix vinyl If you're a fan of YMP deep dives, you're in for a treat. If you're not a fan of that kind of thing feel free to take this week off - not really, it's all fascinating stuff. Is remixing Yes albums ever a good idea? What has Steven Wilson done to Tales? Has he improved it?

In Production: Tales from Topographic OceansListening guide Sign up to the e-newsletter updates for exclusive access to the PRESALE! TormatoBook.com Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Mark and I had a great conversation with the legendary Michael Tait this week. Here is what the biography on his Mickey's Black Box website says: "Michael “Mickey” Tait landed in London from his native Australia in 1967. It was his third stop, after Hong Kong and Tehran, in what was meant to be a 3 month “Visit the Motherland” working vacation. His first job was bartending at the Speakeasy, a private club frequented by the who's who of the music business. Rubbing shoulders with rock stars led to his second job: Road Manager for the newly formed progressive rock band YES. During his 12 years on the road with YES he advanced the art of stage production and was a driving force in the new field of tour lighting. He is credited with building the first pedalboard for guitar, the double Mellotron, the flat mirror ball, the 400-watt Leslie speaker box, and one of the first pin matrix lighting consoles. Next came self-contained lighting units consisting of genie lifts in large road cases with integral 4 cell par 64 lamps. These became known as “Tait Towers,” hence the name of his soon-to-be lighting rental company. Perhaps one of his most important innovations was the portable rotating stage used by Yes in the 1970's. Inspiration struck Tait while delivering a can of 35mm film to Morgan studios, where YES were recording. The concept, initially met with skepticism, was soon embraced as it gave everyone in the house a better view of the band and also increased the ticket gross dramatically." Despite recovering from COVID, Michael was generous and open about his recollections of working with Yes, particularly around the time of Tales from Topographic Oceans.

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week Mark and I watched the video compiled and edited by Hed Gilboa and posted to the YMP Discussion group on Facebook by Doug Curran that contains all the known crowd-shot footage of Yes on the Tales Tour of the US and Canada in 1974. One mistake I made (presumably amongst many) was to say that the Super 8 film format became available in 1975. Of course, I meant 1965 otherwise this tour couldn't have been captured using this technology. Also, as Mark mentioned later in the discussion, we do have a great opportunity to see what the stage scenery looked like in action during Ritual via the 1975 QPR film, clips from which are spliced into the Yesyears documentary, released in 1991. However, this is the Relayer tour and various elements of the stage production were enhanced by this time so it may be slightly different. I think I'm still correct when I say that there is no known professional film from the Tales Tour itself. Anyway, historical minutiae apart, I hope you enjoy listening to Mark and me geeking out about this video and discussing aspects of the Tales Tour. You may well want to watch the video itself and look at the screen grabs I've included in the show notes for this week before listening to us banging on as it may help to contextualise our ramblings. What was it like to attend a concert on the 1974 Tales Tour? What is the video evidence like? What can we learn about how Yes played Tales live? Let us know if you agree with us!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week we had a great conversation with the delightful Pete Greenwood about his recollections of the Tales Tour when it visited Manchester for two concerts in 1973. The gigs spurred Pete on to pursue his own bass playing and that eventually led to him performing all four sides of Tales himself with the Yes tribute band, Seyes. Fortunately for us, the Tales concerts left an indelible impression on Pete and he shares lots of stories from 1973 with Mark and me. I'm sure you will enjoy listening to those as much as we did. What was it like seeing the Tales stage set for the first time? How did the audience react to the brand new music? Did Rick Wakeman really eat a curry?

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. GENNARO-RIPPO-CVDownload 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? Let us know if you agree with us!

Steve Howe talks to us from the old house and studio in Devon where they rehearsed ‘The Yes Album' in 1970. He's been recording there for 54 years and is part of the current line-up about to set out around Europe. He looks back here on what he's learnt from 60 years onstage and mentions …   … the effect of seeing Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins and The Animals in 1964. … playing old Shadows tunes at the Barnsbury Boys School in Holloway, aged 14. … how Yes songs evolved and the cover versions they used to play (America by Paul Simon, Something's Coming from West Side Story). … “the dark 1968 that followed the rainbow 1967”. ... Duane Eddy, Hank Marvin, Chet Atkins, Alison Krauss and the Big Three. … how Sgt Pepper – and blues, jazz and classical music - lit prog's blue touchpaper. … the value of “homework” and the hours of painstaking rehearsal that allowed them to play Fragile onstage. … how Iron Butterfly helped transform the Yes stage show. … Starship Trooper, Roundabout and other songs they're guaranteed to play. … old memories of Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe. … and the road ahead: “I'll keep going while I can still do the twiddly bits”. Yes tour dates: https://www.yesworld.com/Subscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free - access to all of our content, plus a whole load more!: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Mark and I had a great conversation with Ian Hartley this week. As mentioned last week, Ian has produced his own 50th Anniversary box set of Tales from Topographic Oceans and we were keen to know what motivated him, how he went about it and how it fitted in with his own Yes story. If you haven't already watched Ian's YouTube video where he unboxes his own box and also shows off some of his Tales collection, then please do - it's embedded into the show notes below. Ian was very generous and it was a treat to speak to another dedicated Yes fan who has been collecting the band's output (particularly live recordings) for many years. What was the motivation for producing this set? What would Ian like to see in the future from the band? Is this the first time Ian has done this?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week Mark and I take a look at and have a chat about what Yes fan Ian Hartley has done to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Tales from Topographic Oceans.

If you want to understand fully what we are banging on about (if that's even possible) then watch the video Ian made of the set which I have embedded below. What has Ian been up to?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller It was a delight to welcome the bass maestro Miguel Falcão back onto the YMP this week. As you would expect, he knows a lot about how Chris Squire created the bass lines for Tales from Topographic Oceans. You may have heard Miguel's bass covers of both The Ancient and The Remembering, and if not they are embedded below. We found out many things including what basses Chris used to record and play Tales live. So stand by for a massively in-depth look at the album...once again... What basses did Chris use to record Tales? Were there differences when Yes played Tales live? How does Chris' playing on Tales differ from Close to the Edge?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week we are back to the epic in-depth study of Tales from Topographic Oceans. We asked the ever-generous drummer of Yes tribute band Total Mass Retain Joe Cass to join us to talk about Alan White's contribution to the classic album. You won't be surprised to hear that Joe managed to help us to uncover a wealth of detail about the percussion on the album and the musical and personal character of the late deeply missed Yes stickman. Thank you to Joe for his insights. I've had no time to do a proper update on all that's happened over the past week but please do visit the YMP Discussion Group on Facebook and the X.com @yesmuispodcast feed for all the details. However, it's worth wishing Jon Anderson a very happy 79th birthday and noting that Steve Howe's damaged finger seems to be sufficiently healed to allow him to play again this evening after having to cancel some shows on the US tour. What did Alan White contribute to Tales? Is that him singing backing vocals? What do we mean by 'melodic' drumming? Let us know if you agree with us!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week Mark and I returned to Tales form topographic oceans to consider Steve Howe's guitars, based on Mark's expert knowledge and thanks to Geioff Bailie kindly sending us photos of the Steve Howe guitar collection book. After recording I also heard from Nick Kokoshis that he has assembled a set of photos on Facebook all about the guitars on Tales so please see the link below to see what he has found out. You may need to join the Facebook group to view the photos. What guitars did Steve Howe use for Tales and why? How did he create consistency? Did he use his 'usual' guitars?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller The hugely knowledgeable Sid Smith joined us again this week to chat about the context of Tales from Topographic Oceans. Sid wrote the sleeve notes for the Steven Wilson remix of Tales which was released by Panegyric in 2016. He also wrote the remarkable book, 'In the Court of King Crimson - An Observation over Fifty Years', so we were delighted to be able to ask him about the relationship between Crimson main man, Robert Fripp, and Bill Bruford. Why did Fripp want Bruford? Why did Yes decide to push the boundaries even further with Tales? How influential was the album? Let us know if you agree with us!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell and Ken Fuller This week we are joined by Yes book author, Simon Barrow, to talk about the concept behind Tales From Topographic Oceans. We get into a lot of detail as you would expect and explore some pretty fascinating areas of concept music - whatever that actually is! What is a concept album? Is Tales a concept album? Does it even matter? Let us know if you agree with us! Some of Kevin's copies of Tales The actual footnote Jon Anderson based the concept of Tales on:10-6: Pertaining to the shastras, literally, “sacred books,” comprising four classes of scripture: the shruti, smriti, purana, and tantra. These comprehensive treatises cover every aspect of religious and social life, and the fields of law, medicine, architecture, art, etc. The shrutis are the “directly heard” or “revealed” scriptures, the Vedas. The smritis or “remembered” lore was finally written down in a remote past as the world's longest epic poems, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. Puranas are literally “ancient” allegories; tantras literally mean “rites” or “rituals”; these treatises convey profound truths under a veil of detailed symbolism. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/7452/7452-h/7452-h.htm Simon Barrow at a Yes concert!

Plonger dans l'une des œuvres oniriques de Roger Dean et s'y perdre avec délectation, c'est s'accorder une salvatrice bouffée d'oxygène où l'art dépasse le simple cadre du beau pour devenir curatif. Visionnaire, magique, futuriste, épique, poétique… l'univers coloré de Roger Dean a d'abord émerveillé les amoureux de pochettes de disques, érigeant ses créations au rang d'œuvres d'art lors de sa longue collaboration avec le groupe Yes, fer de lance du prog rock britannique. Depuis Fragile en 1971 et sa terre vue du ciel en passant par Relayer ou encore l'hypnotique Tales From Topographic Oceans, Monsieur Dean a donné naissance à un sublime trait d'union où le visuel s'invite tel le parfait prolongement d'une musique pour le moins avant gardiste. L'empreinte de l'artiste, dont le bleu cobalt est devenu au fil des années une marque de fabrique, a inspiré jusqu'au septième art et un film, Avatar, dont, pourtant, on lui a refusé la paternité jusque devant les tribunaux. Architecte de formation, Roger Dean imagine depuis six décennies le futur, dessinant les contours d'un jardin d'Eden en suspension où la nature aurait enfin repris ses droits. Et puisque « Tout ce que nous voyons ou croyons n'est qu'un rêve dans un rêve », espérons que celui de Roger Dean devienne un jour réalité !

The Seventies are often lampooned as the decade that fashion and music forgot. Admittedly, it was rich on Gilbert O'Sullivan The Carpenters and The New Seekers, but it also brought us Sabbath and the golden eras of both Zeppelin and Purple, so it wasn't all bad. in fact, as the snot-nosed belligerence of punk prepared to make its invective-rich entrance, the world of rock music - and especially progressive rock music - was an interesting one to inhabit. This episode features three albums from 1977 - all, coincidentally, marking each band's second appearance on the podcast - but given the releases the lads chose the theme might just as well have been Prog Bands, because all three are high on eclectic experimentation. First up was the unapologetic tilt at commercial acceptance from Yes, with their chart-bothering 5-tracker Going For The One marking a distinct departure from its often-impenetrable though never mediocre predecessors like Fragile, Tales From Topographic Oceans and Relayer. Next comes Queen's News Of The World which is notable for many things, not least the realisation that there was a time in history when the world had never heard of either We Will Rock You or We Are The Champions. And finally, but by no means least, comes Blue Öyster Cult with Spectres, which gave fans the track that has become their second most-played concert tune of all time (behind ... Reaper, obviously) - Godzilla. Make way for mellotrons, more pianos than you can shake a stick at, and a glut of cowbell.

Yes' sixth album, Tales from Topographic Oceans, was released in December 1973, and is infamous in progressive rock circles and beyond. Bloated, longwinded, full of wacky hippy wierdness, trippy and just downright strange, Tales is an 80 minute album comprised of 4, 20ish minute long tracks (one per side). The Revealing Science of God (Dance of the Dawn) The Remembering (High the Memory) The Ancient (Giants Under the Sun) Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soleil) As you can see (and as you might expect), the song titles are all a bit silly – blame Jon Anderson and Steve Howe! Rick Wakeman famously disliked the finished album, thinking that there was simply too much padding and second rate material... But I'm here to ask: is it actually a bad album? Is it actually the failure many people say it is? In spite of its reputation today, it was actually a commercial success at the time, and I maintain that there's lots of good contained within those 80 minutes of music!

Produced by Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall and Preston Frazier Tales From Topographic Oceans It’s been a week for thinking deeply...or maybe not. Anyway, Mark and I have been listening to the oft maligned sides 2 and 3 of Tales from Topographic Oceans which have not been played as often as sides 1 and 4. Why not I hear you cry. Or maybe I don’t. In any case, that’s what we will be banging on about in this episode Why abandon sides 2 and 3?Are they really that bad?What was it like to be an early audience member?

Pat welcomes Josh Fitzgerald (Movies That Rock: The Podcast!) back to the Guest Co-Host chair to discuss the music of YES in the 70's! As and added bonus Josh brought his Dad, Tim Fitzgerald, who is also a big ProgRock fan and a great addition to the show!

On this music episode, we take a listen to the legendary progressive rock group, Yes. Tackling The Yes Album, Fragile, 90125, and Union for this episode, Derek gushes and Jordan willingly tolerates the group's highest highs and probably their lowest low. Unless you really don't like Tales From Topographic Oceans... Content Warning: Strong Language Note: Jordan came in really low for this recording, so his audio has been raised in some sections. Note 2: Recording somehow had 8 minutes cut at the end, which has now been restored! Created by Derek Delago and Jordan Hester Music by Jack Ellis "Roundabout" belongs to Yes.

Segundo Episódio do DavyCast dedicado ao álbum conceitual da banda inglesa de Rock Progressivo, Yes, Tales From Topographic Oceans (1973).

Relayer featuring Patrick Moraz Produced by Robert Nasir, Jeffrey Crecelius, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier. No singles were released from Tales From Topographic Oceans - unless you know differently...so we have skipped right along to Relayer and its single, Soon which had an edit of Sound Chaser on the B side. We also discuss Cruise to the Edge and there's plenty of other news as well. What does Soon sound like, ripped out of its rightful place in Gates of Delirium? Sound Chaser as a B side? Really? Is there anything else which could have been released? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think! Become a YMP Patron!

Episode 14 – Yes Part 5, Tales From Topographic Oceans & Relayer Paul, Joe and Ken continue their consideration of the early Yes catalog by covering the two progrock juggernauts Tales From Topographic Oceans and Relayer. The group ponders topics like the influence of personnel changes (the departure of Bill Bruford’s big ball of influence and Rick Wakeman, the arrival of Alan White and Patrick Moraz) on Yes music, the heyday of early 70’s progrock, and did Genesis’ Supper’s Ready influence The Gates of Delirium?
