Steve Howe comes off as a joyful person. And he is always complimentary of other bands and guitarists like he is in the interview of David Gilmour and Eric Clapton.
A personal favourite of mine, as well as Yes. One of the all time great guitarists who is an essential part of Yes, as much as John Anderson.was. A superior musician.
I thought Bruford and White were fantastic drummers. Rick Wakeman became a star and was amazing. That said, for me, yes, was always about the interplay between Anderson Howe and Squire.
The interviews with Steve Howe are always fun ones. He always has a plethora of stories to go through. Such a fantastic virtuoso guitarist. I still would love to see a Hackett and Howe combined interview.
A super musician, and no illusions bless him, the real deal ! he`s lived the life walked the walk and has done it all.its good to hear mr Howe`s recollections from what is a legendary career, and in such a down to earth way.
I meet Steve back in 1989 when I was working in a shop in Teignmouth, Devon, and he walked in, it was quiet in the shop so we had a nice chat, very nice and a nice surprise, great musician.
Steve ( IMO) over the decades has provided the fans of bands he was involved in a complete historical perspective- interlocking with first the London scene, then Europe and the world .
That was great! A friend of mine from High School (late '70s) said Yessongs was like the told Steve Howe to "just wail and we'll be alright." Wail he did, and still does!
Despite being a big Yes fan, wasnt too knowledgeable about Steve Howe. Delightful fellow to listen to, esp with his history and knowledge of the music scene going back to the 60s.
I had always gotten the impression that SH was a rather dour fellow, especially in these later years. Nice to find I was wrong. I was not a fan of his guitar tone in the early years of Yes (too brittle), but Relayer was IMO his finest achievement.
Great interview. I watched Smashing Time recently. I think it's the best 60's film ever made. I searched in vain for a shot of Steve but couldn't find him in it though. Blow Up, I thought was tedious and bizarre. Jeff's smashing of the cardboard guitar doesn't quite come off either.
Steve Howe is in my top 5 guitarists in this order: Jeff Beck Jimi Hendrix David Gilmour Steve Howe And a 4 way tie for 5th place: Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola and Steve Hackett.
Personally speaking; the omission of both 'shy boy' & 'auntie Nellie's...' Is very disappointing. The irony being that both of those two songs are quintessential British psychedelia! Lovely interview & thank you.
Great interview, I was thinking to myself, I hope he asks about The Blowup Movie, and you did. I would have liked to hear more about Syd Barrett with Floyd though, but very nice work.
Another great interview Barry, you certainly bring out the best in Mr Howe. He always has something interesting to say and seems on good form. Hope you can interview him when the new YES album comes out, I'm hoping its an improvement on the last one, which was a bit tepid.
I’m not an expert on Yes. I’m not familiar with the Tomorrow album??? What is it exactly & was this remastered or something by Steve Howe? Thanks for the info in advance!!! 😊😊
Amazing history. Steve's first album he bought was Elvis. What can you say, those were the days. My first album at 15 was Rod Stewart: Every Picture Tells a Story. Such great music on the shelves then.
I'm currently making my way through Steve's Autobiography, and with each chapter, it becomes more challenging to stay engaged. The constant stream of calendar dates is tiresome (to put it mildly), making it more and more difficult to focus on the essential details. What's particularly disappointing is Howe's tendency to air grievances without ever reflecting on his own actions. He consistently portrays himself as faultless, while eagerly highlighting others' shortcomings or trivial issues, like still complaining about his vocals being in a mix. This bitterness permeates the narrative and detracts from its enjoyment. The book's lack of transparency regarding certain events, like those surrounding ABWH, is frustrating, especially considering Howe's prior openness. Additionally, his omission of his involvement in the Peter Banks incident during the UNION Tour is glaring. It's reminiscent of Jimmy Page's unwavering belief that Phil Collins ruined Led Zeppelin's Live Aid performance-an example of Howe's inability to self-reflect. Not a shred of self-criticism. A little introspection is offered when talking about his family. Every artistic endeavor requires a guiding hand; any song or album needs some kind of producer, just as every good book needs an editor. Howe's approach to going it alone seems to stem more from ego than artistic vision. In contrast to the warmth and humility of Pete Townshend's biography, Howe's memoir lacks moments of genuine reflection or gratitude-no moments of joy, no flickers of light. Overall, while the book has its merits, particularly for fans, it falls short in delivering a balanced and engaging narrative.
It’s amazing he never has had anything bad to say about anyone in all the years of interviews. Positive man. Very classy
Unless they are a lighting guy

Steve Howe is a fantastic musician and person.
Steve è un musicista straordinario, una persona gentile, simpatica e umile.
Lo seguo da anni, assieme al compianto Chris Squire 😢
Fascinating interview - Steve was in a grand mood! Please have him back to speak to the new YES album in May. Excellent.
That's the plan
Fantastic interview. Steve really loosens up when you are the interviewer, what a treat to listen to. I could listen to these interviews for hours.
Glad you enjoyed it
I meet Steve back in 1989 when I was working in a shop in Teignmouth, Devon, and he walked in, it was quiet in the shop so we had a nice chat, very nice and a nice surprise, great musician.
Yes, he lives down there
Wonderful interview-love the "I was looking for a band with frighteningly good musicians"-he certainly found them!!!.
I’ve seen YES over 40 times since 1972 and I’ve never heard of Tomorrow! I’ve got to find this album.
Great channel Barry!
Same here!!!
Many thanks Steve and Barry. Insightful and engaging listen.
Excellent interview 👍 Thank you so much 🙏 Love your channel 💕cheers from Houston TX 🇺🇸🇺🇸✌️
Steve Howe is in the same class of all the great prog players of his time.... great work!
Man... I'm geezin'.
Gonna go break out my "Tomorow" album.
Thanks for the blast from the past.
Peace on earth.
Great interview Barry and Steve Howe always makes for an interesting interviewee.
He does
Fantastic interview from the greatest guitarist in Rock music

He was amazing on yessongs. That is one of the best guitar albums ever made.
@@uv77mc85 no doubt!
Wow another fantastic interview with a legend 😮
Despite being a big Yes fan, wasnt too knowledgeable about Steve Howe. Delightful fellow to listen to, esp with his history and knowledge of the music scene going back to the 60s.
Another entertaining and nicely questioned interview! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great interview and really enjoyed hearing some insights. Thanks for sharing this with us. Best wishes from the Lake District 😎😎🎶🎶🎶🎶

"Brittle"?
Great interview.

Very enjoyable watch
Glad you enjoyed it
I honestly didnt think I would like this interview but I did against my expectations.
We didn't talk about Yes at all.
Great interview......👏

You are so welcome!
Great interview, I was thinking to myself, I hope he asks about The Blowup Movie, and you did. I would have liked to hear more about Syd Barrett with Floyd though, but very nice work.
Great suggestion! Check out my other interview where Steve talks at length about Syd
@@classicalbum Cool, I sure will!! Thanks.

It is an improvement and I am hoping to speak with Steve again soon. I think he likes the probing and interesting questions
From my white bicycle to future memories keep on riding.
Is he related to Gordie? They look related are both incredibly talented.
Shy Boy Rules.
Liking the T Shirt ;)
I love the horned headgear. .. I'd like to where that for my next interview
I luv tommorows verison of ( Strawberry fields forever)which has not benn released on any S.H. collections unfortunaley,oh well
Steve is a nice bloke.. Can't think why Yes don't get on.
I’m not an expert on Yes. I’m not familiar with the Tomorrow album??? What is it exactly & was this remastered or something by Steve Howe? Thanks for the info in advance!!! 😊😊
it is a psychedelic classic
Looking forward to hearing the new mix but that album cover?! Oh it’s so baaad.
Steve Howe is my favorite guitarist but Pere Townshend is right.
Love Yes and Howe but they are still naive about human nature and not all people and cultures are the same.
Giles Martin!
I said Giles Martin.... didn't I?
@@classicalbum I'll get my hearing checked. It must be in a bad way if it heard you, and then Mr Howe, say Charles.
My pronuciation is a little garbled due to a bad cold
Steve's great but the interviewer doesn't follow up on anything, he just asks another question on his list. Maybe he's not actually paying attention
Sorry - Townsend was right.
I shall put that question to Ian Anderson, and I bet I get a totally different answer than Steve's
