    Love the pod. Also, Yes did a cover of the Beatles I’m Down in mid 70s.

  • Igor left YES

    The reason Igor left YES was because of a credible sexual assault allegation … this sad history should be included in his episode

  • Love the podcast, just a shame they can’t pronounce Moog!

    I love listening to this podcast, I’ve learned a lot about Yes over the years.

    It’s just a shame the guys still don’t know how to pronounce Moog - it rhymes with vogue. This was settled back in the 70’s, keep up guys. There’s at least one YouTube video with Robert explaining how to pronounce his name, please watch it and show some respect:-)
