Excellent! I am enjoying the first part (finally). It brings back so many memories of seeing UK twice on that first tour (NJ and Wolman Rink, NYC). Damn!

Despite the varying ages, I think one could postulate that the first album caught all 4 musicians at their absolute prime.

I do wish I had received more recognition and appreciation for my work on this iconic U.K. album. It was 'self produced' by the band which puts a massive demand on the recording and mixing engineer - and we used a lot of fascinating and experimental recording techniques to create the unique sound of this album. So delighted to have been an important part of it. SWTx

Wow - thank you for all the work that you did to make that album sound so incredible. That first UK album is one of my all-time favourites and I still listen to it regularly, even after having owned a copy for over 30 years.

Watched part 2 last night. Very enjoyable. That Rendezvous 6:02 video was cracking me up with the bubbles and whatnot. I wish there had been some video of the 3 piece reunion. I saw them in Chicago in 2012. There's some really rough video of the 3 piece back in the day on YouTube. Probably been posted here more than once, but what the heck...

Thanks for sharing this. Like the first part of the series, The Yak has done a great job of covering Eddie Jobson's work. Looking forward to Part Three!

Nice one, although I must admit I skipped all live-chapters.

I consider Nevermore to be UK’s pinnacle moment
And curious to know more on Holdsworth claim that he wrote it as an instrumental and they modified it
Any other example of this type of writing by Holdsworth
The strong lyrical theme seems absent from anything else he wrote that I know of …

And here's Part 3 of The Yak's series on Eddie Jobson:

Thanks. That was a good one, although a bit long
