Interview with Jean-Luc Ponty from 2015

Interview with Jon Anderson from 2018

Interview with Jon Anderson from 2020

I remember when the original version of this came out wondering why a full live album wasn’t done.

Lately I’ve been breaking our old rule at Music Street Journal.

The first thing to mention here is that this is a collaborative effort between former Yes singer Jon Anderson and former Counting Crows bassist Matt Malley.

This single from Anderson, Bruford Wakeman and Howe is out of print, of course, but these days, it’s not that hard (or sometimes expensive) to get your hands on something like this.

I bought this on vinyl when it first came out. Since the onset of the CD era this has been in and out of print for a while. This is the first time I’ve owned it on CD.

I’ve put this EP in the prog section of Music Street Journal. I suppose you could say that it’s more of a folk release.

This is an excellent book in many ways. First, it’s a quick read – partly because it’s not all that long and partly because it’s written in such a way that it flows really well.

This single from Anderson, Bruford Wakeman and Howe is out of print, of course, but these days, it’s not that hard (or sometimes expensive) to get your hands on something like this.

This is a newly remastered version of the Jon Anderson Change We Must album.

This is an enjoyable read that saunters through the chronology and culture of progressive rock.

Yes seldom do anything in a small way when it can be done in an epic manner. 

This is a review of the special edition audiophile release of Close to the Edge. This is a great limited edition, numbered CD release.

Our old rule at Music Street Journal was, if it’s out of print, we don’t review it.

I’ve been going through some of my old vinyl and getting things reviewed.

This is a rather unusual album for Jean-Luc Ponty.

This box set is a class act. The whole thing comes in something that resembles a book. 

Lately we’ve been moving away from our long-held rule that in order to reviewed an item had to be in print.

Although this is out of print, I’ve decided to review it at Music Street Journal.

Certainly fans of Yes and specifically Jon Anderson will be drawn to this disc.

It seems that a common occurrence these days is for different factions within a classic band to form versions of the band and go out and tour. Well, it has now become a thing with Yes.

I saw Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe on this tour and it was purely magical.

Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman might be best known for their work in Yes, but that’s just part of the picture.

Don’t go to a Jon Anderson concert expecting a Yes concert.

Featuring a guest list that includes Jon Anderson, this is a great piece of modern progressive rock with plenty of nods to the old school variety.

I reviewed the original release of this album before, and the songs are unchanged here.

At Music Street Journal we’ve joined a number of publications in a ban on reviews of digital only products.

This is a reissue of the Yes album Open Your Eyes on 180 gram vinyl.

It used to be that at Music Street Journal we didn’t cover things that were out of print.

Going back and catching up on some vinyl releases, this one should be pretty easy to find online.

This is a new, massive box set from Yes. It includes seven complete concerts from 1972.

The old rule at Music Street Journal was that we didn’t cover items that weren’t in print.

This is just getting released on BluRay and with an extra concert.

This DVD is one of the best from Yes.

This DVD is one of the best from Yes.

I don't think I had heard of Alan Simon until recently. This double disc set captures a lot of his previous work.

This album, featuring collaborations Jon Anderson made with various independent musicians, was originally released last year, in a very limited release. 

Since we’ve already reviewed the DVD version of this set, this review will focus on the difference between this new BluRay release and that original one.

Here is another compilation of Yes music. It is the first two CDs from The Ultimate Yes, repackaged.

Going into this album it’s pretty easy to know what you are going to get.

Whenever a live album (or any album from that matter) comes out featuring two of the most charismatic and popular former members of a band like Yes comparisons to that group are obvious.

For hardcore Yes fans, this is a real treasure.

When it comes to fusion, you just don’t get a much more impressive supergroup than Return to Forever.

This 35th Anniversary collection of Yes shares a lot of material with other compilations of theirs.

The third album from Yes, The Yes Album was a transitional disc. 

There have been a few books written about the band, Yes but this one really includes the involvement of many of the members of the group through extensive interviews. 

An album that is rather maligned in fan circles, Tormato is a bit pop oriented, but really has some wonderous moments.

Like last year, there is a new Yes picture disc released for Record Store Day. Last year it was 90125. This year they turned their attention to Tormato.

I remember seeing Yes on the Union tour. It was an amazing show.

I’m sure some would make the argument that we don’t need another Yes compilation album.

This is a new reissue of the original Yes concert film. While the main film remains unchanged from older editions, there is quite a bit of added material here.
