Happy Birthday Igor Khoroshev – 635

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week Mark and I wish Igor Khoroshev a slightly belated Happy Birthday by talking about some of his greatest moments for Yes. We have chosen our favourite 3 examples of the great keyboardist’s work with the band so keep listening and see if you agree. I’ve embedded YouTube videos of each song we discuss in the show notes for this episode, just in case you don’t have copies of Open Your Eyes, The Ladder and Live from the House of Blues. What did Igor bring to the Yes keyboard role? Did he have all the skills he needed? What are his highlights? Let us know if you agree with us! https://youtu.be/Ex3oO4hovqQ?si=lZf_24NXViDLuTON https://youtu.be/UlzumP5AvRU?si=M963Fz-7XoRQ8glQ https://youtu.be/P3HTXebhPNo?si=Nh_vtBaEwDHNQyfp https://youtu.be/kn8ocOsdbEo?si=lWHv3XclZchiC7of There are only 100 of these packs available, so buy yours now! (Opens in a new window) Check out the progress on my other podcast - https://anthem52.com/ In Production: Tales from Topographic OceansListening guide Sign up to the e-newsletter updates!

This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert – I put it together from: archive.org
