Video version coming in a little while! On this last Yesshift episode for the year, we get festive by talking about Christmas solo albums by Yes members. We begin by reviewing Rick Wakeman's Christmas Variations (2000) and Christmas Portraits (2019). The album cover of the former has, fittingly, had variations over the years. We also touch upon the "I Saw Three Ships" cover that Oliver Wakeman performed on with Jeff Scheetz, John Payne, Oliver Wakeman, Pete Coleman, Bob Catley, and Rodney Matthews. Then we talk about Chris Squire's Swiss Choir (2007), followed by Jon Anderson's 3 Ships (1985), including the 2007 bonus tracks. Dan and Steven even each have a story about their respective friends being involved in the "3 Ships" music video and the 2007 bonus track "Give Hope!" Happy holidays to all!
