LINK: Yes drummer Alan White recalls historic sessions with John Lennon, George Harrison and Joe Cocker



Since 1972, drummer Alan White has been best known for keeping the beat for British prog-rock titans, Yes. He'll be with his main band on Sunday, March 3, at Seattle's Moore Theatreas the group performs not one, not two, but three of its most critically acclaimed albums, “The Yes Album,” “Close to the Edge” and “Going for the One."
We'll have a related story in this week's print edition. Until that hits the streets, you can listen to this outtake from our interview with White, a longtime resident of east King County. He's played with a ton of classic rock acts, and we asked him about some of his favorite non-Yes recordings which jarred memories of historic sessions with John Lennon, George Harrison and Joe Cocker.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
