SandyHOST
You did.
BernieHOST
Next time I'm being interviewed, I'll remember.
BernieHOST
So how
MichaelHOST
many did they have to choose from in the audience, Bernie?
29 MINS LATER
MichaelHOST
But hey, first steps.
MichaelHOST
The original album was called Heavy Metal.
MichaelHOST
The... live album is him live at trying to remember Carnegie Hall and very rare for someone so young to be playing Carnegie Hall and with the music that he plays the track we're going to listen to was one of the first tracks of heavy metal it's called Love Takes Miles

will come when you get enough under your arms love will
Jon AndersonGUEST
Now I am, you know.
Jon AndersonGUEST
And so in a leap, we got Steve Howe in the band, which was like, oh, man, it was amazing because this guy could play classical music on guitar as well as great rock and roll, you know.
Jon AndersonGUEST
And we started writing songs together.
Jon AndersonGUEST
How did
32 MINS LATER
Jon AndersonGUEST
It was that kind of strange feeling.
Jon AndersonGUEST
Where is he? And, uh, so we carried on rehearsing ideas and stuff.
Jon AndersonGUEST
And, uh, I actually bumped into Steve Howe at a Holiday Inn near Detroit about four months earlier.
Jon AndersonGUEST
I'd gone past his room and there was smoke coming out from under the door and he was playing this riff.
Drew PatricksGUEST
Because I really did struggle with, well, where's the melody to this? Or where's the line that kind of can be hummable or whatever something that clicks and and so that was that was that part the middle part i was just messing around i wanted to try something a little different a little finger picking type of thing i you know done some some of that in the past um a little bit of classical guitar playing and things like that.
Drew PatricksGUEST
And so I've always kind of loved, you mentioned yes, so I've got to do Steve Howe.
Drew PatricksGUEST
You know, you do some, you know, talk about some classical playing and some use of finger picking and so forth.
Drew PatricksGUEST
Definitely thinking of that.
Tim AppletonHOST
I suppose we should also remind ourselves that this is Yes's classic line-up, according to most evaluations.
Tim AppletonHOST
We've got the singer, John Anderson, who wrote the track itself with the guitarist, Steve Howe.
Tim AppletonHOST
We've got Rick Wakeman on keyboards, Chris Squire on bass, and Bill Bruford on drums.
Tim AppletonHOST
I feel sure that they all contributed arrangement points.
Tim AppletonHOST
So there's three things I wanted to point out here.
Tim AppletonHOST
First of all, this bit evokes A Day in the Life by The Beatles, where the orchestral musicians famously started as low as they could and went as high as they could.
Tim AppletonHOST
The second thing is, it represents another sort of quasi-philosophical reflection on the nature of limits, right? If you like, it's a bass guitarist's take on the philosophy of finitude, right? To go back to what we were just discussing.
Tim AppletonHOST
And then the third thing is...
Mark Anthony KayeHOST
They said, you can give him any guitar in the world, and he's going to sound like it.
Mark Anthony KayeHOST
Just like I'm sure if you give any guitar to Steve Howe, he's going to sound like Steve Howe.
Mark Anthony KayeHOST
So you give any drum set to Bill Bruford, he's going to sound like Bill Bruford.
Mark Anthony KayeHOST
And he has done stuff that's really... good on this.

Kevin MulryneHOST
yes, because
Simon BarrowGUEST
Banks, you know, would develop his solos in all kinds of different directions.
Simon BarrowGUEST
I mean, Steve Howe did in his prime as well.
Simon BarrowGUEST
But that's, you know, having solos where people do something a bit different, rather different to improvising as a group of musicians.
Jason MatthewsHOST
Really?
DrakeUNKNOWN
I mean, there's one guy, ah, is it, I think it's Steve Howe, I think was his name.
Debbie MatthewsHOST
Yeah.
Jason MatthewsHOST
Yeah.
Merlin MannHOST
But then the two Steve's came together for like the most bananas.
Merlin MannHOST
If you like Prague guitar, you've got to hear this band called GTR and it's Steve Howe and Steve Hackett.
Merlin MannHOST
It's the guy from yes.
Merlin MannHOST
And it's the guy from Genesis.
Merlin MannHOST
I feel like it might have been.
Merlin MannHOST
It was either a music magazine or a guitar magazine.
Merlin MannHOST
And here was the review for GTR, the self-titled release from Steve Hackett and Steve Howe.
Merlin MannHOST
GTR is the name of the band.
Jon StankorbHOST
...
Jon StankorbHOST
Hendrix, Steve Howe.
Steve StevensGUEST
Yeah.
Jon StankorbHOST
Robin Trower, we had all the greats.
8 MINS LATER
Jon StankorbHOST
And it just blew me away that somebody with such chops could play all... 'Cause th- those, like, those were all my favorite players.
Steve StevensGUEST
Yeah.
Jon StankorbHOST
Gilmour, Steve Howe, the guys that were playing lap steel and nylon string.
Steve StevensGUEST
Sure.
GaryHOST
I think it's fabulous.
GaryHOST
And you would get Steve Howe eventually, one of the best guitar players of all time, and you got Bill Bruford at the time, uh, on drums, again, one of the best drummers of all time.
GaryHOST
At the time they had, uh, Tony Kaye on keyboards, who I'm a big fan of, but he's a minimalist, but that's okay.
GaryHOST
You can't, you don't always want a Rick Wakeman [laughs] on keyboards.
GaryHOST
... who was very good but, uh, he was very good for the, for the two albums that he- they needed him for.
GaryHOST
But again, they were looking for something a little bit more, just like they were from, from Tony Kaye.
GaryHOST
So right after Time and a Word, their second album, uh, Tony got the heave-ho and they got Steve Howe in, who was perfect for the band.
GaryHOST
They, they-

This is Radio Progzilla, which has been dishing you up red-hot progressive stuff and it's 24-7.
Steve GouldHOST
The rather marvelous but extremely short-lived GTR, having only made one studio album, featuring the guitar skills of Steve Howe and Steve Hackett.
Steve GouldHOST
What a combination.
Steve GouldHOST
And talking about Mr. Hackett, this Wednesday we're off to see him at Birmingham Symphony Hall.
15 MINS LATER
Steve GouldHOST
"It was totally intentional."
LouHOST
I didn't.
LouHOST
There was a link to the fact that Steve Howe and Chris Squire-
