Geoff Downes on #Yes50 and Topographic Drama – 305

YES-Topographic Drama Produced by Michel Arsenault, Wayne Hall, Preston Frazier and Bill Govier. We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Yes keyboard player Geoff Downes onto the show this week to talk about the forthcoming #Yes50 celebrations and the wonderful, new Topographic Drama - Live Across America album. Geoff shares his thoughts on the inclusion of Tony Kaye in the concerts on the 50th Anniversary tour and how he expects it to work. We also listen in depth to the new live album and share our thoughts on that. What does the new album sound like? What are the performances like? How does Geoff see the Tony Kaye special guest situation working? Listen to the episode then let us know what you think! Become a YMP Patron!

Theme music The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert - I put it together from the following two creative commons sources: thanvannispen and archive.org
