Listen "YesKit Part 4 - Jon Anderson Edition - 697"
Episode Synopsis
Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius From a tiny idea I had about Jon Anderson's use of instruments live with Yes, Mark and I managed to bang on for ages again this week. Hopefully, you will find the discussion as interesting as we did, particularly as I noticed some definite links between the band's sonic changes over the decades, Jon's development as a musician and the instruments he used. In order to create some kind of helpful structure to the conversation, I managed to find the earliest examples of each kind of instrument Jon uses live in the photos on the amazing Forgotten Yesterdays website and I have embedded them into the show notes for this week's episode - do take a look at those and add a comment if you can think of any other Yeskit Jon used live with the band - or add a comment even if you can't. What are all the instruments Jon used live with Yes? When did he start playing tuned instruments? What can we glean about the band amd about Jon from his choice of instruments?
