Yes Guess Who III - 708

·48 min·3 clips
Bill Bruford recalls Blaze's as "a rotten, boring night" with "two drunks and a couple of waitresses."
The episode opens with the familiar welcome and the promise of another fan-led look at Yes. Kevin Mulrine introduces episode 708 and sets up a fresh round of Yes, Guess Who?. He says this one felt harder than the previous two outings. The game keeps its rules straightforward: two points go to the correct quotation attribution, and one goes to the decade, even though that is treated as the least reliable part of the challenge. A bonus point is available on one question. Kevin and Mark Anthony Kaye trade guesses and explanations as they go, and the back-and-forth stays friendly even when the answers are uncertain. One answer leads into a Bill Bruford anecdote that revisits a Blaze's gig and the idea that the story may have been embellished a little in the retelling. Another clue lands on John Anderson, which Kevin gets right on the person but not on the decade at first; the correct year is 2011, not the 1990s. The hosts also drift away from the quiz in a two-pence segment that was meant to touch on Yes and Yes-related Record Store Day releases. It wanders a bit, but the episode seems content to let the conversation loosen up. The closing section thanks the patrons who support the show, then ends with the usual reminders about the site and social channels before signing off in familiar Yes Music Podcast style.
