Let’s sort through Yes’ Steve Howe-written song “Hour of Need,” which went through a myriad of versions between 2005 and 2018.
Mike Tiano recalls when Yes guitarist Steve Howe incorporated one of his ideas into the set during the band’s 2001 symphonic tour.
Songs on this album were credited to Yes as a band, but “Soft As a Dove” sounded like another classic joint effort from Jon Anderson and Steve Howe.
“Nine Voices (Longwalker)” is a loving tribute to the man who helped Yes to produce their best work for many years.
This album-closing song actually makes a great jumping off point for then-new two-guitar version of Yes.
Yes’ ‘Open Your Eyes’ contains many strong songs, but it certainly could have benefited for more of a unified vision.
A rare instrumental, “Sign Language” closes out arguably the best Yes album to that point since 1983’s ‘90125.’
“Be the One” was a strong start to what should have been the opening song for a new Yes studio album.
The finished version of “Dangerous,” released on Yes’ 1991 album ‘Union,’ stands in stark contrast to Steve Howe’s original demo.
