Close to the edge, Yours is no disgrace, Roundabout, Soundchaser, Gates of delirium. Many songs to choose from, these are just a few. These guys are extraordinary musicians.
don't joke, Yes you have to listen from first second to the last second of their Long Plays
Tales from topographic oceans is another absolutely mind boggling majestic album
"Yours is No Disgrace" is another amazing Yes song...
1 of my fave songs too
Yes listen to this whole album , its my fave
same album as well..
You are one of the rare observers to note that Jon Anderson's lyrics for YES were _poetry._ Not the kind of poetry that relies on rhyme & alliteration, but rather the free-form poetry that was popular in those days, where nouns and verbs were presented in ways that seem disconnected to evoke images & feelings that the poet's wants the listener to _piece together_ to try to guess what shehe's _hinting at._ As he said it in Starship Trooper: "take what I say in a different way and it's easy to say that this is all confusion." He's knows some aren't going to recognize or appreciate what he's trying to accomplish with his words, but it's there for all who have the ears to hear. :)
That's Bill Bruford on the drums. One of the best living drummers today. Unfortunately was only with Yes until the Close to the Edge album. He went on to be the second drummer for Genesis on tour when Phil Collins took over vocals and worked with King Crimson.
Agree on Bruford's amazing inspirations on drums. Unfortunately, he felt drawn to follow an even more experimental fusion path and left YES at their peak of creativity. Thing is, _if_ Bruford's name & contributions to music are remembered decades from now, it will be for what he contributed to YES in their most stunning period of achievement. He left that to become lost in a crowd of other fusion drummers whose skills were equal to his. Still shaking my head at his wtf decision...
@@JJ8KK Pretty sure Bill Bruford has zero regrets and you can stop concerning yourself with this. :)
@@ClueSign Well there's little doubt that Bill has always had a very high opinion of himself & would not be crushed to hear that an observer found his decisions back then perplexing. You can probably stop concerning yourself with this... :)
It was Chester Thompson formerly drummer with the band Weather Report who toured with Genesis as the main drummer.
Phil would periodically join him on a second drum kit during breaks from singing
@@ClueSign relax
More YES, More YES More YES Close to The Edge is the prime example of great Prog rock a masterpiece Chris Squire Is in my opinion the GOAT of bass players RIP Chris
“Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever”. Think about that. All living things can be lonely. You can make a difference!!
I actually think you get it. Yes isn't your every day band. They transcend ordinary music, and they enter a realm that reaches into your soul and touches those inner places that just register pure emotion.
Those rising organ chords with the crashing drums at the end gave me a vision. I saw people speeding in cars in reverse over speedbumps to cure stuttering. This music was so inspiring and magical - kinda like Fruit Loops on acid in a cinnamon sky.
Since you've started with Starship Trooper off of The Yes Album, I suggest you continue on with the _other_ masterpiece composition on this same album, *_Your's Is No Disgrace._* Starship Trooper was the very first YES song I heard on the radio as a senior in high school & I was completely blown away by what I was hearing. So when they came to town (Tampa, FL) I had to go see them. That's when I hear *Close To The Edge* for the first time and my decades-long worship of this band continued for the next few decades. IMO, YES is THE single greatest band of all time. You have a wonderful YES journey ahead of you, my friend :)
Back when FM played the entire song more than 5min.
A good album to explore, beginning to end, is another one from Yes called 'Close To The Edge'. Start with its first song of the same name. There are only 3 songs on that whole album! Another awesome Yes concept album released shortly after the one you're doing here is 'Fragile' and one you should do a video on each song at a time, beginning to end of the album. You've already done its first song "Roundabout" (which I watched! 😁) so continue with that album for sure! One set there in particular is the double-song "We Have Heaven" and "South Side of the Sky" which should be done together as they blend in. In fact, "We Have Heaven" is only a minute and a half long and is really a warm-up to "South Side...". They did that sort of blending often, like Pink Floyd, Beatles and others. Of course, the Beatles started that trend!! Yes is one of my favorite progressive rock bands and glad to see you get into it! Hey Biz, can't wait to see you react to "Close To The Edge" as it's REAL deep! And almost 19 minutes long!! And talk about switches!!! You'll enjoy it. ✌️😎
Close to the Edge is the 19 minute song you were trying to think of. It is the title track of the album by the same name!
A lot of other reactors have been listening to Close to the Edge recently and they are all blown away! It's not a painstaking 19 minutes at all, in fact it keeps you fascinated throughout!
Feels more like 6-7 minutes ♥️
One of my favorite bands. Keep going. ....."Yours is no Disgrace" "Roundabout" "Siberian Khatru" ,"Heart of the Sunrise " to start. :)
Kathy is 100% right. Also "Soon" which is like part of a bigger tune on Relayer (I think)
CLOSE TO THE EDGE!!! A masterpiece!!
The general consensus is that their peak period was the three albums: The Yes Album, Fragile, and Close to the Edge,
Fragile and Close to the Edge both had their classic lineup and were released in 1972, other highly recommended albums: Relayer (1974 )and Going for the One (1977)
This is from "The Yes Album", definitely a great starting point
I would reccomend NOT doing "Close to the Edge" until you have weakened your immune system first.
Say Long Distance Runaround, Perpetual Change, or Heart of the Sunrise.
Then and only then let "Close to the Edge" infect you.
Good one!! LOL! Yes. Best to get newbies immune to Yes a bit, before going close to their edge! LOL!
Have you done "Close To The Edge" by YES? If not.....than I request you do it!!!! It is a MASTERPIECE!!!! It is Total FIRE!!!! I request the whole album without stopping it......the album, "Close To the Edge," by YES.
This is a great album. Fragile is also a good album. The holy trinity of Yes is these two along with Close to the Edge. Choose one of these three, you can't go wrong.
BizMatik, Some people have an ear for Yes, and some are out of there when they see it’s longer than 3 minutes and not in 4/4. For someone as yourself who clearly hears it - you referenced “Close To The Edge.” It’s (arguably) the pinnacle of both this band, and this whole genre of “progressive rock” in general. Perhaps not for everyone - but I think it’s for you.
Heart of the Sunrise, Close to the Edge, Sound Chaser
Yes pushed the envelope on what music can be, uplifting and spiritual. Glad you enjoyed. Been listening to this since the age of 7, had a much older brother, now 58.
Biz, Yes are a phenomenal progressive rock band so please do more of their catalog!!
Believe it or not the Live version from Yessongs takes this song up several more levels. The Outro Live is EPIC!!!!!!
Any live version does, I prefer 2000 to 2003, and ABWH live.
yep
On the guitar track part of this called "Wurm" , I always love how the Guitar is constantly changing as if it is having a conversation in its own language.
Bill Bruford is the epic drummer who left the group in the middle of their tour the next year after completing this album. He went on to be considered one of the greatest drummers of all time!
I would suggest Close To the Edge if you want to do a whole album of theirs. As far as more songs do Awaken, Yours Is No Disgrace, America or Long Distance Runaround/the Fish.
I will put this one in my top three of theirs, easily. They weren't afraid to take you on a journey.
I was a teenager , that's how long I been diggin this band , Yes!!
From The Yes Album through to Relayer...don't get too hung up on the lyrics. They are often a story that makes sense to jon Anderson...or are phonetically pleasing to him. As Rick Wakeman said - Jon is the only guy he knows who's trying to save the planet while living on another one! "Going for the One" is exceptional for its lyrics making sense - in my opinion, of course!
You got the great sht playing now , Yes is fantastic 😄
you have great comments that show you are paying attention to both the words and the music on a fairly complex song
Great reaction! The rest of The Yes Album is a great place to start and then you could revisit Fragile (the album with Roundabout, which you already heard) and the album Close To The Edge will kill you. Anothrr album that not enough people react to is Going For The One from 1977 with a ton of different song styles including Awaken, one of their epics. Looking forward to watching you experience their catalog!
The entire FRAGILE album. Beginning to end!
"I wasn't even born when this came out, and it still sounds good." Indeed, everything that came out before you were born sounds better than everything coming out today. Music is not dead, but it seems to be dying.
"Yours Is No Disgrace" would be great for a next listen; "Going For The One" is an overlooked, wicked track. If you decide to do "Close to the Edge," make sure you don't have anything else planned that day!
I think you're going to really dig Yes. Heavy on instruments. ❤✌
Pretty good vocals too
Im so stoked that this was my soundtrack in my late teens
Hearth of the Sunrise & Close to the Edge and Gates of Delirium
Classic Yes.
Two epic albums are "Close to the Edge" song and album and Relayer with "The Gates of Delirium" one of their masterpieces.
Glad you enjoyed it, ponder this, I was listening to this when I was 14 ...lol No wonder I am spoiled, these guys are superlative musicians, and they can go off to never-never land sometimes, but yeah...they can play.
Thank you for reacting to Yes❤️😎
CLOSE TO THE EDGE is the album you r thinking of. This damn song is 50 years old and sounds like tomorrow.
Hey my man 👍🍺
I have no idea why you don't have 100K subs by now.
No one keeps their reactions more real than you.
You sugar-coat nothing! Cheers on you 🍺🍺
As far as YES ... They made 3 PERFECT ALBUMS where every track is a " BANGER".
THE YES ALBUM
FRAGILE
CLOSE TO THE EDGE
Don't let the length of the songs turn you away. As you said in this review "it's like 5 songs in one".
All of the tracks on these thre album are like that.
If I may suggest ...
From The Yes Album
"All Good People"
"Yours Is No Disgrace"
From Fragile
Roundabout
Heart of the Sunrise
Long Distance Runaround
From Close to the Edge
All Three Tracks!!!
Just start at the beginning of the album
Take care
Ed
Ok, bruh, you impressed me reacting to this! No one reacts to this masterpiece! I recommend “Roundabout” by Yes.
I put my first YES album on a turntable in 1974. I was seven years old. I had eight older brothers and sisters, and they had stacks of LP's. I cannot say what my favorite album was but I can say that if I had to grab three albums before leaving for a long trip, I would pick Close to the Edge, Fragile, and The Yes Album. I can remember all the cracks, crackles, skips, and static of Starship Troopers on the LP.
So far, I really like your reaction to this particular song. My line, for the last decade(s) online playing of this song, every time I hear it is - "Here it comes around again!". So, here it comes around again! I can't be sure why this is.
Great reaction.... Subbed because of it...
Love this song and their outro on this is one of my favorites.
They next new earth visioned lyrics....blessed from heaven I would suuspect
I'm glad you like. My favorite group. Steve Howe guitar and Chris Squire bass. Perfection. Jon Anderson voice.
I keep wondering if Steve Howe had the pickups on his guitar sent to opposite channels. He could have handled the "dueling guitars" at the end, all by himself, just by running the lower part of his hand between the volume knobs on his guitar. Somebody with his dexterity could easily do that with the right guitar. Then it could have been managed in the studio, or even with pedal effects. A guitarist was telling me a lot of subtle effects, like not sounding the attack of the pick on the string, are done that way. Coincidentally, he was talking about Howe on another song.
Close To The Edge is the song and album with only 3 legendary tunes on it released in 1972.It is considered the greatest album which every other progressive rock band expanded upon!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️☮️☮️☮️🎤🎼🎹🎸
Their melodies always featured Chris Squires thundering base lines...
Close to the Edge has to be your next Yes journey. Trust me, you will not regret it!
BIZ! Kansas, Leftoverture album!! Full of amazing Rock. For me, it's stood alone for over 40 years running. The whole album Biz, the whole album. It's going to blow your mind
Man , I watch your reaction since a few..Yes makes you travel in an other kind of music world ... And you love it ... Yes spirit is with you.There are not many band at this level
If you want an advice from an old Yes fan and If you want to you live a deep emotional and connection experience , a new musical opening with no word to describe ...like many people listening to this song !!! keep on now for the song :
**** Close to the Edge**** (id album) one of the best song ever writen
Then after from 'Going for the One'
- Turn of the century
- Wonderous Stories
and ***'Awaken' ***
Then after the album 'Relayer'
-Sound Chaser
and finish by ****'the Gates of Delirium'****
Have nice trips and discovery ....
This album is 50 years old now! Würm!!!!!!!!
For an album pick, Close to the Edge. It only has 3 songs but every one is a masterpiece IMO.
Do the whole FRAGILE album. It's early Yes, and my favorite.
Yes is the best!!!
One of the best reactions to a Yes song. Really seems like to got it right off the bat
Thank you
Prog Rock at its finest.
I saw them in 1971 at Newcastle City Hall in the U.K. just weeks before ‘The Yes Album’ was released. They were 2nd on the bill, with Dada on first (including Elkie Brooks & Robert Palmer) & top of the bill was Iron Butterfly who were boring. Yes absolutely stole the show.
i remember other kids briging that album to high school to show it, the mysterious styrofoam head was supposed to represent the presence of i forget who , lets say the soul of the character in their story
@4:22 “What does it meeean!?…who cares…”
I love it!!!
Keep listening. They have an extensive catalog with many masterpieces to enjoy.
If you can understand a word of this, you are quite unusual. About as much as I can make out is the repeated verse, "Speak to me of summer...." When he goes onto "Proud sons and daughters...," he's obviously talking about the people he's met on tour. Anderson likes to make the ordinary sound anything but ordinary as he drifts off into the Astral Plane.
HERE YOU GO!!!!! YOU GOT IT NOW FOR SURE. i think i messsaged you about this one...
So I'm a year late; but if you haven't heard it yet, bend your ear to "I Get Up, I Get Down."
Incredible vocals by Jon Anderson.
U got off on trooper the way I always do all the time...
"Close to the Edge" album! Classic. Epic. Masterpiece.
It's Close to the Edge! Considered the best progressive song ever made! So if you think you can handle it please be my guest! I will be looking forward to it!
And album.
Not many who aren't familiar with YES can handle Close to the Edge. hahahaha
Love your reaction!
Thank you
Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth. Saw Yes 36 times and I suggest Release Release off Tormato. Howe rocks it out like nothing else.
Close To The Edge album beginning to end.
Excellent reaction
This was very early and back in the era when people didn't really try to ascertain the "meaning" of lyrics. We just listened to the music and the voices and were probably smoking some weed. The band members of YES probably were, too. ;)
Close To The Edge album 3 songs and it’s amazing!!
Some of the most talented musicians gathered into one band.
Yes.. its true every song is a surprise you never know what there going to do next
The bass is the star of this show!!
Awesome song from Yes.....One of their best Masterpieces.
Great review a couple of songs done by Jon Anderson out with Yes are with the Great Vangelis "Friends of Mr Cairo the other one was covered by Donna Summer "State of Independence" I'm sure you'll like them both.
Young man your next choice has to be,,close to the edge ,it's a total classic . I'm not kidding you ,my friend ,😁👌👍💎
This is Masterpiece music right here , wow the feelin is amazing
South Side of the Sky from Tsongas great Yes song as well as any thing from Fragile or Close to the edge. Big Generator gets overlooked a lot but is a great reinvention of Yes in the early eighties I think!
Want a song that'll kick your musical ass? Yes - Roundabout!
I like that you can feel this. It is a great song by a great band. Well done on the review.
There is very little you can do wrong with Yes - roundabout for a funky song, Relayer album for their most crazy work
This part takes you away , God I love this
This is a great album! Just called the yes album! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It sounds so good.
And You and I, from Close to the Edge.
Thank you Biz
There is still a version of this band out there and Steve Howe, the guitarist, I'd in the group. They have just released a new album, THE QUEST.
"Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever
All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the facts there shown before you
Take what I say in a different way and it's easy to say that this is all confusion
As I see a new day in me, I can also show it you and you may follow..."
I will echo “Close To The Edge” ♥️ Masterpiece 🎸🎶🎤♥️
If you liked this, u will LOVE the live version on Yessongs.
Yours is No Disgrace, off their Live album Yessongs.
Yours is No Disgrace is definitely a great next one, from this same album, and when you are ready to have your musical mind blown, try Close to the Edge. Speaking of masterful musicians, I don't see that you've done anything by the band Jethro Tull. It is time to dive in there too - try Locomotive Breath from the album "Aqualung" or the title track. in nearly anything from 1969 - 1973 you'll find the peak musicianship and arrangements. Try it you'll like it!
For an album, try Yessongs (it's a live recording). As great as Yes is in the studio, they are out of this world live.
Do the album Close To The Edge or The Yes Album both are masterpieces!!
at last someone appreciate profesor Bill Bruford, the best rock/jazz fusion drummer.
