Jon Anderson interview w/ Allison Steele – 76

Thanks to yestopographic73 for this series of slide show videos enhancing the probing and thoughtful interview of Jon Anderson by New York DJ Allison “The Nightbird” Steele in 1976.

Some months ago, long after I posted these videos, rapidshare advertisements were added to the videos, obscuring the slide shows. All of the actual interview is included. Missing are the opening words by interviewer Allison Steele and the song To the Runner in the first video, and video 3 which was composed entirely of the song Meeting (Garden of Geda). The audio tracks were removed from the Youtube uploads in each of these two cases.

The playlist is here: Jon Anderson 1976 interview w/ Allison Steele.
