Show notes for The AudPod, podcast Mondays from WCSL Northern California

From the show host: Two days ago I was sitting behind a mixing console with the boys from YES on stage running a rehearsal in Hollywood. Tim Nesbitt had walked in to see the guys and was chatting on the phone with Jack Calmes. I had to chuckle to myself at just how small this industry really is as Tony Kaye or Billy Sherwood, I can't remember which, caught wind of the show and exclaimed "Tim you were on that freaking plane?!" from the stage. Truly the pro industry is a relatively small brotherhood. A brotherhood with some amount of exclusivity that tends to keep to itself. The shows your about to hear were over a year in the planning and execution. The culmination of literally hundreds of emails and hours of production and research. It is a rare look into an event that changed not only the lives of those who endured it, but the very face of rock music. It is a historic yet very personal perspective, one that is shared outside the industry for the first time in 32 years as our friends both old and new, allow us this insight from the crews viewpoint, regarding one grey afternoon in October, 1977.
