Featuring news/updates and commentary/analysis of Trevor's career and associated projects.

Media Watch: Hall of Fame article

Some readers might recall that in January I posted an entry regarding an upcoming interview for cleveland.com, and it's been published today in advance of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on April 7th.
http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/03/2017_rock_hall_profiles_yes_in.html

Containing new quotes from Trevor and Alan White only, the two appear to be in agreement about one thing: there will not be another Union-style reunion in the future, which is a sentiment other involved parties have also stated within the last year; though fandom discussion holds out hope something of that nature will occur to mark the band's 50th anniversary in 2018.

SCORE to receive theatrical release

Last night the team behind SCORE: A Film Music Documentary posted an update on Indiegogo regarding the future plans for the film's distribution and, most importantly, when backers can expect to receive their copies.

But for all those who would like to see Trevor - as well as every other major film composer in the industry - on the big screen, the film will be released in the US and Canada on June 16th, which means it might have a shot at an Oscar nomination in the Best Documentary Feature category.  SCORE has made the rounds of a number of film festivals, with additional screenings scheduled over the next month across the US.

A tie-in book - SCORE: The Interviews - is also available for pre-order on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0692827072/?tag=epicmedi08-20

The official website for the film is:

sound matters

As I previously noted in discussion on Yesfans, there's been another change in the ARW support crew for this new leg of the ongoing tour.  Taking over for Tony Blanc at Front Of House is producer/engineer Christopher Fudurich who has a family connection - having previously worked with Ryan during his stint in The Outline as well as recently with GROUPLOVE.

A post shared by christopher fudurich (@fudurich) on
I'm always interested in the behind-the-scenes glimpses which the crew can provide.  PA technician Mark Johnson also provided a bit of documentation.

Thirty-eight years later...

I read a comment on Facebook yesterday which provides a useful lesson: while research is something fans enjoy engaging in, it's important to remember when it concerns Trevor, he had a history as a professional musician before joining Yes.

The comment was in reference to ARW's performance in Edinburgh - the poster stated that it was the first time Trevor had performed in Scotland, which is actually not true.  While it is true that YesWest never toured Scotland and made scant stops in the UK overall during their touring history, Trevor has played in Scotland before, and specifically Edinburgh.

In October and November of 1979, Trevor undertook a three-week tour of the UK to promote Face To Face as an opening act for guitarist Steve Hillage which included three dates in Scotland: Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen. So it has been a span of years indeed from November 1st, 1979 to March 22nd, 2017, and who knows...there might have been a few in the audience who were also at that long-ago Odeon gig (which began life as a cinema, became a music venue for 11 years, and then a cinema again according to my research).

People of Scotland: Trevor is back!  I hope you enjoyed him and it won't be such a long time till you see him again.

Fashion Watch: befitting an icon

As now it has been reported by several fans that the Manchester show was indeed filmed by a fairly extensive camera crew, we can see the Maestro definitely dressed for the occasion in a shirt which nicely pairs with the Balmain blazer, just as Trevor wore equally eye-catching outfits in the available footage from 1984-85 and 1991.

I proclaim this look The New Classic!

Fashion Watch: as foretold

Finally!  Those of us Rabid Rabinites long-committed to monitoring Trevor's wardrobe choices were rewarded by what I refer to as his "lucky" shirt making an appearance at the ARW performance in Nottingham.

Some of you may recall that last year I speculated Trevor would wear this shirt on tour...

It was great to see the Maestro reviving this wardrobe classic again, as to me it symbolizes his inherent rock star charisma both onstage and off.

Here is an (alleged) interesting pre-gig development...

old friends, part five

As we see here, guitarist Steve Hackett dropped in on his former bass player and other fine folk in London.

A probing inquiry

As I noted previously, there is an article on ARW in issue 74 of PROG - a six-page feature chronicling the band's Los Angeles performance - and writer Fraser Lewry was particularly proud of his singular achievement...

You don't say...

Today's tweet from Rick is pretty much what I figure he and Trevor have been doing since the day they met.  And I'd add that the same applies for when they meet up in the middle of the stage during "Owner."

Media Watch: more vintage video

With thanks to my fellow Rabid Rabinite Judy Davis for sending me the link.

Here's another blast from the past...there is a bootleg which has been in trading circles for several years consisting of Second Unit/b-roll footage from MTV's coverage of Yes' performance at the Forest Hills Tennis Center in New York on August 29th, 1984.  However, the footage in circulation is barely watchable at best.  Today, a much better quality version of part of that footage - the soundcheck of "Hold On" - was posted on YouTube.  This footage also conclusively illustrates the involvement of Casey Young as a backing player for Tony Kaye, a particular credit which has been hotly-contested in fandom for a number of years.

Hopefully this means additional restored sections of the overall footage might be available in future, such as Trevor's interview with Martha Quinn.

Media Watch: Buzz TV interview

To kick off the ARW UK tour which begins today is this brief interview with Trevor and Rick regarding their memories and impressions of London music venues.

Saturday, March 11, 2017

Media Watch: Yes Dialogue now shipping!


As I've previously reported, the new Yes interview book Dialogue is definitely a thing and has now been delivered into the hands of grateful gleeful fans.  My fangirl heart is breaking to admit I am not one of them but that's not to say you wouldn't want this book if you can afford it because it looks damn spiffy.  Unfortunately it's beyond my budget but for a glossy-paged comprehensive coffee table book you couldn't ask for much more than this, and it is the cheaper paperback version of the previous Time And A Word: The Yes Interviews publication with lots of inclusive updates.  It's also a limited edition run, so you may not want to debate the purchase for too long.

Here is the link for information regarding the book at the Stereo33Books website:
https://stereo33books.com/yes-dialogues/

With many thanks to Yesfans member Eddie Yesongs, here are some images of Trevor-related content:



If you have purchased and received the book, hit me up on email to let me know what you think!  And if you'd like to review it for the blog (keeping in mind that I prefer the review be Trevor-centric), then I'd be happy to post your submissions.
