Episode Synopsis

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius



This week, Mark and I discussed the 'solo' songs on Fragile. Each band member contributed an individual project, some with more success than others. The style and approaches used by Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe and Squire are very different and they certainly prompted an interesting discussion as you'll hear.



Drama and Fragile Live!



With Yes soon to embark on playing the whole of Fragile live for the third time, we also touched on how these songs come over live - and if it's even a good idea to include them alongside the 4 'proper' songs.




Which of the solo songs is the best?



How do they differ in approach?



Should they be played live?
