Ep 10 - What If Yes West Went On Without Jon Anderson?

When Jon Anderson went off to do ABWH, Yes members Tony Kaye, Trevor Rabin, Chris Squire, and Alan White were left to ponder what to do next. They considered continuing as a quartet, and then considered replacing Anderson with Billy Sherwood, Steve Walsh, or Roger Hodgson. On this episode, we discuss what it might have been like had Yes West gone on without Anderson. Dan recalls when Alan told him about the touring plans with Supertramp before the whole Union thing came together, and we go over the tracks that Yes West worked on around that period, ending with each of us saying what we think the ideal track list for such an album would have been.
