The book featured not only his Beatles photos from that day, but also lots of other great pictures from the heady days of the 1960s.

Anthony Rowsick — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 13:00:35 +0000

Another oldie but goodie that I thought could use a little remaster: The Psychedelic Special!

A special feature on a very fascinating time in the history of music. More specifically, the Psychedelic period in the mid-to-late 1960s. This was a very creative and fertile time in which established bands such as the Beatles, the Who, the Moody Blues, and Cream figured prominently. It also saw the arrival of important nascent talents such as Pink Floyd and the young Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood, David Bowie, Steve Howe, and Chris Squire, to name but a few. We’ll hear from all of these and more on the Prog-Watch Psychedelic 60s Special! So come along for a fun ride…it’ll be groovy, baby!

Anthony Rowsick — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 13:09:20 +0000

Prog-Watch 930 – Shaking the Yes Family Tree (Remastered + Bonus Track)

Anthony Rowsick — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 13:21:25 +0000

I sometimes listen to old shows to see how I’ve progressed. In listening to this first edition in my “Shaking the Tree” series, I really liked the content, but feel the sound quality leaves a little to be desired. So I decided to remaster it, and in many cases used tracks from remastered versions of the albums. Since I had time, I also included a bonus track at the end. Sonically, the program is far superior to the program (although there was only so much I could do with the voice track).

Anyway, without further ado, I present Shaking the Yes Family Tree (Remastered + Bonus Track), with music from The Buggles, Trevor Rabin, Refugee, Asia, Flash, Esquire, Levin-Torn-White, Badger, Bruford, and Chris Squire!
