- From the YESSONGS album and video. My favorite version of Starship Trooper. Only the end was included in the concert video. I created a whole video using other footage from the show and the real ending. It will have to do unless the original film surfaces.

I think I've listened this song more than ten million times for the last 40 years. Still not tired.
It is worthy.
Absolutely the best.
Stupendous tune, it wears rather well.... I'm only up to about 6.2 million myself :-)
Same here, I was 14 then_and saw Yes as one of the first bands I saw. have all albums on vinyl. strength of emotion I feel listening to Yes is just as powerful now as then
Dave Scheff
That guitar solo at the end in epic. Been listening to "yessongs" since 8th grade, never gets old.
Seriously, how do you down vote Starship Trooper? Anderson has the voice of an angelic alien. Chris Squire kills here. The whole band rocks. This is fucking perfection.
His singing feels effortless which to me is a sign of real natural talent.
7:32 is arguably the most epic moment in prog rock keyboard history. All hail Rick Wakeman!!
No love for Keith Emerson? Also a few of Crimson's keyboardist even original Tony Kaye? Prog Rock=constant change in not only the songs but band members. Glad I got to see Wakeman, Emerson and Ian McDonald. Rare breed these keyboardist-very rare breed. Wish Bruford had joined King Crimson from their inception, think he was invited but declined joining" Mabel Greer's Toyshop." That's hear-say of course. Heard a few times at concerts.
Huzzah! Three cheers for the Wake Man!
@@kennethgilbertdds7249 Guess not... More keyboardist around than Rick-try searching for them on here.
@@chrisbaker9887 I love Emerson, Tony Banks, Kaye and McDonald. But I have to say that I agree that this is the definitive Minimoog solo.
I prefer the Keys to Ascension version.
Wakeman coming in with the mellotron choir during the guitar solo really elevates this performance. Pure magic.
Ikr, real cherry on the cake but at the same time so much more than just a cherry on a cake.
It's not an easy decision, and it changes daily, but today my favorite band of all time is Yes. This music so so complex and so perfectly executed that it makes me weep with joy.
Can you not find something yes for every emotion mood
Amen!!!
Yes is not my favorite band, but there’s nothing like them. They reach this mystical place that taps into that British sense of magic and enchantment, better than Led Zeppelin. Their marriage of classical and rock music is wholly original. There’s a version of And You and I here on TH-cam that I stumbled on. It took me to a place of pure joy, where I just was carried along by the variations in the theme. They are unequalled in this genre of rock.
Holy Shit. That was literally the best and most epic guitar solo I have ever heard in my life. I wish I could time travel.

And this one ... that guitar is only a little smaller than my first car! LOL
This is the live version off of the live album called Yessongs.
Howe still plays this live, the end of every one of his version of Yes shows. I have heard it live a dozen times
Those last 4 minutes are absolutely breathtakingly epic
Bill Bruford pulled out of this tour just before the band left for the USA, Alan White stepped in at the last minute, and having never played with Yes before, learnt the full set lists within a couple of days, and played drums on this tour and for a long time after....brilliant to see them in their heyday again..just awesome
He probably fucked up alot at first.
The Wurm.. Always near the 6 minute mark. One very good reason Chris was the true force on a Ricky. Howes double neck.. Rick's solos.. The 70's folks. The fucken' 70's!!
Lee Ross its a double neck
S G but thats ok.....he's a badass nomatter what he plays....♡☆☆☆☆☆♡
Amen
The 70s definitely RULED.
i feel ya, bro!
The 70's... Relayer, Selling England by the Pound, Animals, Brain Salad Surgery, Thick as a Brick, The Dark Side of the Moon...
the most epic song ever written and/or performed on any planet
My hipster bandmates made me listen to REM and Van Morrison back in the mid 90s....I made 'em listsen to this.
Sal Puma dude I agree. love REM but Yes was awesome!😎
Yes stood alone in their prime with progressve rock in musicianship and artistry. No band could come close to the pictures they would paint with their instruments and vocals. An ingredient that only they had blending blues and rock with classical, folk, jazz and fusion. The Ultimate Musicians Band that appealed to the masses in Music. So creative, inspired and influential was the music of the 1970's to me as a teenager. The most amazing decade in all music that will never be matched or ever flourish with musical ideas like that again either
Van Morrison was good. The trouble that I have with REM is that their songs all sound alike to me.
Crazy my two fav. bands R.E.M. and Yes!!!
lol.
Oh man. I can't believe Chris is gone. Yes has been so much a a part of my life for so long. He will be missed..Rest in Peace, friend.
standingwave73 what do you mean chris is gone? please don't tell me chris has passed.the best bassist ever and YES the best FUCKIN group yhere ever was. John K.
John Kerrigan Yeah, he was all of that. He passed away June of 2015. RIP
amen...I was always entertained the many times I saw yes and i was at the taping of yes songs...rip Chris
standingwave73 wow chris Mcquire is gpne
I think that in modern times , people have forgotten just how effortlessly talented Rick is.
RIP Chris Squire. Thank you for all the wonderful music.
Still is and always will be my favorite band. So much of my life and youth with this band. I love them.
and Howe
same for me & Whats not to love? used to follow them around And see them all over the midwest, You know Like
YES HEADS....TRUELY A
PHENOMENAL BAND...Pure Raw Excruciating Talent Here, Thankyou YES.... ♡☆☆☆☆☆♡
M 54. the complexities of
the music they were doing
as well as theyre intense
presence onstage, wow !
Seeing them in every stage
of their respective selves..
It freaked my friends out,
They just didn't get what
was going on, & thought I
was strange. ...Yes ...
Always Something Special
About Their Shows. "Love."
& ...once somthing Is
Fabulous Musically It Stays
That Way. Always.
Love Yes..♡☆☆☆☆☆♡
When great bands ruled the world :)
This is my favorite Yes song with the original members. Every member stands out especially Chris Squire.
Technically, only 2 original members on this recording.
As he was making his way to the revolving stage I got to shake his hand and thank him. Beautiful memory that will never die. I was 17.
Possibly one of the GREATEST guitar solos ever starting at 8;05. Incredible...
I love this song!! Play it over and over
I am currently toasting this true genius of our time, Mr. Chris Squire. Peace, my friend, and cheers! You are already sadly missed.
Him and Alan are jamming again as we speak.
One of their best songs and the ending simply awesome
In 1974 they were the first band I ever saw live. This video gives me goosebumps even today.
I rarely get goosebumps from music-but this one did it. And then I read your post. Amazing. Only Yes.
Indeed. All these years later it sounds great. Here's to another 50+ years. RIP Fishy - you will be missed by those who know.
And It Will Always Give U Goose bumps. ..Once Somthing is This Good, It Remains This Good For All Time. Wow Here They Come Again & Again. Thankyou for This Crispy Excellent Mix On This. ♡☆☆☆☆☆♡
AH YES...
Gotta love the Rickenbacker grumble. Chris Squire was an amazing bass player!
"Tonight gentlemen, we wear.... CAPES!"
I believe this is their opus. I've been a Yes fan since forever and have heard each and every one of their songs at least 1000 times. Starship Trooper gets my vote as their best song. ✌
@Satanic Panic Fun and Games Yes' 2nd best composition (you call it) is better than the work of most bands, past or present.
I may say I have since 74!
Easily one of my favorite songs of all time. So grateful for outlets like TH-cam so we can see footage like this.
I need a ciggarette after that....and none of my clothes were off......lol
Second half of this performance always gives me chills
This starts off pleasantly mainstream enough with it's almost soft-rock melody, but a little after midway into the song, there is an ascent that crescendos to the unparalled pinnacle of rock. They be jammin'
This song, and specifically this version makes me incredibly sad, as it was the last song on the triple album, Yessongs, which was my first Yes purchase. I was hooked and have played the record, (and CD) thousands of times. Just introducing my teenaged kids to Yes. It's my Dad duty.
Nothing can touch this song! A masterpiece!!!
7:32 Best MiniMoog solo ever.
Absolutely the best version of this one.
Steve Howe is a Rock God! Trevor Rabin wasn't too shabby either :o)
Playing this yet again for how many times I just do not know but as time goes on it just gets better and takes me back to the Rainbow when I first saw them perform live simply blew me away
Spent my life since i was 13 (I'm 59 today) listening to YES day after day. What a very sad sad news to hear that Chris as passed away on June of 2015 certainly one of the worst day of my life with those of Alvin Lee, Greg Lake, John Wetton and David Bowie.....And even today when I listen to that masterpiece (especially the outro) I always get goose bumps...YES forever 😍❤
It's time to remaster Yessongs - it's been over 40 years. This is truly an extraordinary performance by incredible musicians.
grandpa ken they did it! Rhino records just put out Progeny: Seven Shows from 1972. All remastered from original multi-tracks, it sounds like it was recorded yesterday. No Starship Trooper on it, unfortunately.
Saw jon live a few weeks ago with his new band. He looked and sounded amazing. Still has it going on at 75 years old.
I saw them 4 times and still couldn't get enough.
If I could 'liquify' this music I would take it in IV, 24/7, ... 365 :D
(Or at least 'pour' it into my thirsty ears)
Honestly, this is as good as live music gets. Astounding.
That why that blew our minds even more. To see YES especially back in the day was something to BEHOLD... on the deepest level. They were truly spiritual events with no exaggaration and we all knew it then how important this band was. So sad to see what's happened to them and that the mainstream hasn't a clue anymore
An incredibly underrated song. It throws everything at you in different parts. AWESOME!!!!
Saw them In the Round at the old International Amphitheater in 1979. Incredible Musicians! John Anderson on top of a spinning wedding cake of a stage!
The 70's were incredible
The Yes album got absolutely thrashed when I bought it back in the day.....that & Dark side both classics 😍
Im very sad today...
RIP Chris, and thank you.
Rick's and Steve's solos are mind blowing. I could listen to this a thousand more times. Light years better than anyone out there today, and they were just one of many great bands of the era.
The escalation back and forth between them towards the ebd :)
It is a seriously good instrumental. Wůrms
70 people didn't like the greatest outro of all time! :-( )
70 idiots
it's a great outro.
Pieterson
74 now! :/
ippolytos1 Most amazing outro that I never tire of listening to over and over again to be honest. Fantastic. Part of the reason I still am interested in playing guitar myself every time I get fed up with it. I believe that part is called Wurm. :)
Daniel Lawrence-Thomas There is no
holding place in my mind, or way for me
to process the reaction that I get from all
the people I have met over the years
regarding YES. I have met only 3 people
in my life who like YES, like I like YES.
How can I play this song for people, and have them not at least give
the credit for the consummate performance?
I can't help it, it tends to color how I think
of people who don't like YES. Everybody has
their personal preferences, but This Band
supersedes mere preference.
Their compositions are Masterworks!!
My favorite Yes theme. Brilliant solo by Rick Wakeman in the end.
Don't forget Steve's solo...Fabulous !!!
It should be an international crime to have a TH-cam ad separate the solos of Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe.
This is a great song. One of my favourite songs from Yes
Out of all the amazing songs yes has created this is my favorite
RIP Chris Squire, March 4 1948 - June 27 2015
I saw them 3 times in the '70s. All I can say is that I'm grateful to have had the chance. Only one other artist (Neil Young) has meant as much to me throughout my life as Yes.
Oh, one other thing. There's a video now on TH-cam I highly recommend for Yes fans. It's "Yes- The Lost Broadcasts- Remastered" The first few songs show Yes, Tony Banks on guitar, playing from Time And a Word. The last 2 songs are with Howe but still with the original keyboardist playing from the Yes Album. It's fascinating.
I play it on The Music Lounge during my 'throwback' show...Come like The Music Lounge on FB ~~DJ Rick
standingwave73Crazy Horse. It's hard to come to terms that our world is gone. by that I mean the human world is gone.
standingwave73 Maybe you should listen to RUSH?
Craig Manning Used to have one of their albums, actually. What I heard was long hard rock songs. Couldn't call it Prog though their technical abilities are impressive.
standingwave73 Peter Banks rather than Tony?
In my humble opinion, Steve Howe can be mentioned in the same breath with Hendrix, Clapton, and Page. My all time personal favorite.
No disagreement from me. Steve Howe should be mentioned. Another guitarist that should be mentioned is Terry Kath from Chicago
@@cyyoung7840 Hendrix, I believe, proclaimed Kath to be his favorite guitarist
@@calvinmark2112 yeah Hendrix thought Terry Kath was amazing
Yep. Me too. Steve Howe is a genius.
And of course Chris Squire. His harmony vocals are unique.
We went to that concert at the Academy of Music in New Yorktook my mothers car it started snowing and we drove home following the snow plows to Long Island in about 8 inches of snow.
My very first concert was YES in 1972, on their CLOSE TO THE EDGE TOUR. (The Eagles, believe it or not, were their opening act.) They were amazing and overwhelming!
Starship Trooper is probably my single favorite Yes song. It is a powerful, driving epic from beginning to end. Steve Howe is the greatest and most technically brilliant guitarist in rock music history, and he demonstrates his elite-level skill throughout this soaring masterpiece. I am a hard-core ELP and Seventies-era Genesis fan, and I believe that Starship Trooper rivals the outstanding compositions of both those bands. Yes was a rare group of virtuoso musicians and genious-level songwriters. They were and always will be giants in any musical genre.
This song gives me life.
God blessed us all with Yes. Just awesome. Thank you!
I saw Yes on this tour but I still can't understand how Jon Anderson could hold that note 'follow ' , just makes my heart stop now even 💗🌹💗🎸💗
This is one of those songs I listen to that just instantly makes me happy.
BEST VERSION ON TH-cam, thanks for making this!
Jim Patterson absolutely, I saw the movie Yessongs in 1975. After seeing the movie and hearing this rendition I became a Yes fan for life. Still my favorite version
This song makes me weep with joy
I'll never forget when KCFX played this album late at night when I was 12 lying in bed listening to this on headphones. Amazing.
Steve Howe's superb solo. Smooth!
OMG I saw Yes in Concert. Unbelievable. I still have the original Yessongs Vina oops.l. Those were the days you could see all the security standing there watching everyone smoking pot and doing nothing. YES
I remember them doing this song in '79 at the Spectrum in Philly" in the round".Rick Wakeman literally shook the building when he played.I'll never forget it!
I was there as well, the Spectrum version (video is on here) was the best ever, hands down.
I was at this show
R.i.p chris squire
excelente version en vivo de esta bella cancion,lo que me hace seguir,y seguir buscando mas musica de Yes,Genesis,y otras bandas afines...
Still shocked by the passing of that legend Chris...RIP Chris,
Heard most of the live versions, jaw drops. Just WOW!!!
Literally one of the best songs Yes has ever made in my opinion. Also don’t you just hate it when you’re not even halfway through this amazing piece and youtube gives you two five-second ads?
Yes was a whole band of virtuoso musicians. All of them amazing at what they do. Steve Howe is an awesome guitar player, Jon Anderson is an exceptional singer with a great voice, Rick Wakeman is absolutely flawless at playing keyboards, Bill Bruford was arguably the one of the pioneers of Progressive rock drumming paving the way for Neil Peart and Chris Squire influenced a Legion of bass players for over 40 years! What an awesome band!
O Ya it's all coming back to me now. Wait. Now close your eyes and remember, think hard. Yes its coming back now. 1975, Fall, Capitol Center outside Washington D.C. Saturday, there's 10 of my closest friends, been partying for hours. My beautiful girlfriend Sara with me. A flask of wine, some "bud" some micro-dot and Yes I remember. Yes, there was probably no other group better in concert then YES. The music, the mellow crowd, and what a show. Good times many, many years ago. I do remember.
Yes, we partied in style those days. Purple crazy, Colombia's finest, gorilla biscuits, etc. and all the great bands in their prime.
YES!! The best sound system and precision i ever heard besides Pink Floyd, Wish you were here tour.
Oh yes definitely purple microdot.........YES rules.
I was there, one of the best concerts ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reading your memories of this perfect band. Thanks guys. ❤️
The rhythm section is together again!
R.I.P. Alan and Chris
Thank you gentlemen!!!
🧠🌌♾❤
Lol 5 years past since my first comment. I still get that same joy i got 50 years ago when i play this song. 💖🤗💖
A fun and beautiful song, this version is the way I liked it best!
I wish they had the actual video for this, like the rest of yessongs. I feel like something amazing was lost.
Its got to be out there somewhere because they showed the concert with this version of Starship Trooper on British television way back in 1973 or 74 on a show called "The old grey whistle test", I had never heard of the band in those days and so when I watched it as you can imagine I was blown away by it, So i have been a fan ever since.
In high school in the 70's turned on my friends to Yes after finding my sister's CTTE album and greatly digging it.... I caught all kinds of crap because it was so different from what we were used to.... needless to say, everyone in short time became total Yes-heads..... thank God I had my sis and all the great music she tuned me on to!
This song always takes me on a trip. Whatever mood I was in when I start listening, changes to good. Thank you YES!
astonishing...
YES YES YES THEIR MUSIC MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD! GOT MY ENDORPHINS FIRING!
I saw this Live at MSG in NYC in 1974. I've seen them in ever line-up up till 2007. I am a Fan. We used to play Relayer at school Dances. Amazing Band. This song used to run through a Marantz that used a Kustom 200 and 3x15 and a 2x15 as slave amp and speakers. You could hear it a 1/4 mile away. People would come from the park looking around. My neighbor's houses shook. BUT, that was then. Rick Wakeman, when he hit the lows, MSG shook. Amazing stuff. Only ELP was able to achieve that as well. WOW. Just WOW. Thank you for posting.
I was fortunate to see them at Capital Center in Largo Md, Tales of Topographic Set. Still one of the fondest evenings of my life. I not only love this band, I love those who love this band. Godspeed.
I remember tripping to this song when I was young....lol
A great song to trip to.
@@billdunn8542 Yep, countless times. Wow, this brings back memories of what seems like a different world.
R.I.P CS :'-(
During the recording of this album many of the songs were recorded during a single tour at various locations. I was a sophmore in high school in Ohio when they appeared in Cleveland to a sold out show in which i recall every show was sold out in 72/73. I think this particular piece was recorded in Cleveland mainly on the strength that it was the oncore and there was an individual directly behind us with the most shrill whistle i had ever heard. Piercing and loud. We were 3rd row center stage and then after picking up the album, when my friends were gathered to party a little and listen we all looked at each other with the same look when we heard the whistling at the end of the song. More than a concert to me. It was an expierience like a living creature of immense capacity for love. I am 64 and love to play the drums, and guitar while listening to this album. Certainly one of the best live albums ever!! From one of the greatest bands of all time!!
Been 47 years since i saw yes on this tour. i loved there music then and still to this day. Sadly some are gone now but there music will live forever 🙏🏻
Awesome song and band!!
I love it
dam is that you in the profile pic sexy
Um, no offense, Louise X but why did you assume James Mollo was referring to you? The OP would seem to be giving you a run for your money. Personally I think his question could apply to either of you.
As for XXXREBXXX1: you might wanna quit taking those angry pills or whatever makes you that rude. No call whatsoever for that, mate. Besides, you don't know who he's directing his question to for certain, do you?
Nice legs" wot time do they open. ?
There will never be another Chris Squire! May he rest in peace.
My favorite alltime guitarist, keyboard player, drummer (on the Imagine album)
and bass guitarist, (singer's not too shabby)...I've seen them many times since
1972 when I was in the 9th grade and am still in awe of the talent!
Does it get any better than this, I was in 8th grade (1972) when I went to this concert, and 40 years later I am still listening to Yessongs, the best live album ever to spin on a turntable!!!
Chris may be gone but the music lives forever...He's the Starship Trooper now~~~~
I don't know why, but this is the song I thought of immediately on seeing the news about Chris Squire's death. I always loved the line, and picked up the bass (35 years ago?!) as a kid because of CS. RIP
ive seen yes 11 times throughout my life and have never been let down.my all time favorite band.
Steve Howe's guitar outro solo at the end has to be one of the best of all time.
Just found this. My gosh Howe was insanely good! A lot of names are tossed around as the greatest. To me a pointless argument prone to too much subjectivity. I will say this guy was up there with the most skilled. Complex patterns, with speed, and very melodic. More important, is that he played into the songs. It wasn't just a show case for his skills. The whole band was incredible and unique.
Still gives me chills....
Wakeman solo towards the end is something to behold.
A great great song. The band seems to hit you from all angles with this number. Incredible diversity. Just awesome!!!
