Yes, “Heart of the Sunrise” from Like It Is (2015): One Track Mind
Most of the focus, fair or not, with Yes’ upcoming live project will be on Jon Davison. The band’s current frontman, he played a major role in their most recent studio effort, but is only just now being included on Yes’ live recordings. And so, long-time fans will likely be studying Davison, more than the rest, as he works his way through a legendary moment from Yes’ vast discography like “Heart of the Sunrise,” originally the epic closing track from 1971’s Fragile.
There is, however, a lot more to Like It Is: Yes at the Mesa Arts Center, as the bracing news of bassist Chris Squire’s serious illness continues to reverberate. The project, to be released as a 2CD/DVD in July 2015 via Frontiers, gives us another chance to fully explore Squire’s genius at the bass.
...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.
