- Without a doubt, YES was and is still a major influence in music from then until now. You can hear it in so many different ways in so many of the prog-rock bands....
So maybe the meter changes on CHANGES look like this?
Measure of 7 "2+2+3" then a measure of 10 "2+2+3+3"
YES Changes:
• Yes - Changes - Remast...

The entire 90125 album got so lost in the synth-pop of the 80s that people forget (or never realized) what a prog masterpiece it is.
I think it was an awesome slap in the face to people that turned their noses up on the 70s bands for being too far out there and wanky.
“Ok. We can right one of the best pop/rock albums of the 80s if you want. Check this out.”
YES LITERALLY. Danny Carey has said Bill Bruford was his favorite drummer. I know this is Alan White, but Yes was a huge influence on Tool and so many bands
I also believe he’s said Alan white is in there on the list of influences. I’m not sure how true that is, but I saw it in his biography on drumeo.
That's cool, I've never even heard Tool mention Yes. They mention Rush all the time. Years ago Rush (Rush's true prog days) would say they were most influenced by Zep and Yes.
I'd say almost all prog today has been influenced directly or indirectly by Yes. Good DNA.
I agree with the Bruford reference. I think I've heard Danny mention Lenny White even more (Return to Forever, Chick Corea...) I'm not a huge jazz-head but knowing some jazz is essential to musical growth.
@@ThisIsTheMajor Cobham is a complete monster...but one HELL of a nice guy!
Yes had some of the coolest music with some of the most talented all around musicians. They've influenced prog rock for generations.
This is really not some random person reacting to songs that the YT algorithm likes. Your videos are real enjoyment for people who are music nerds, failing to make friends or/ and family understand why some certain band or song is simply genius and life-changing. This makes us feel like home! Thank you for the great content! I so much prefer watching people enjoy and engage into music than simply "reacting"
Thank you Sabrina :) 🤙🤙
Their 90125 tour was the first concert I ever went to, back in 1984.
It was maybe my second or third (after Genesis and Rush).
And my second, not long after Van Halen 😆
Jealous.
The live version of this song recorded in 1985 (I think) is absolute killer. Still puzzles me how they could make this sound even better live.
Jon Anderson has said in various interviews that Yes music is usually composed with performing it live in mind.
Agreed, I thought this was an almost perfect recording but that live performance just has something extra that I can't explain and works so well.
Check out Yes from the 70s. No non-linear editing, razor blades and tape and some of the best songwriters and musicians to ever vibrate air.
I'm much more of a Bruford fan (his drumming and Yes music while he was on board), but this album and Big Generator really attracted me for the overall impact and production at the time.
I'm not a drummer (a guitarist, sort-of) but I'm a huge fan of them. Bill Bruford is a different animal, a Jazz/Fusion guy with all that makes a "Rock" drummer. But Alan has that BIG sound, and more noticable footwork.
Now, I challenge you guys to re-hear the "Big Generator" album, because about 12+ years ago, listening on headphones, I SWEAR that the engineering/production is so clear, you can actually hear White's foot pedal hammers rest on the bass drums, and when they are clear of them (sorry, don't know the right terminology). Alan has great foot control.
But Bill Bruford on the debut "UK" album . . . don't even get me started :p.
Bruford is well accepted as the basic yes drummer. But my favourite drummer will always be alan white. his small lack of virtuosity in comparison with bruford is more than sufficient replaced with his clear articulation of complex rhythm changes and childish joy of drumming. whites real highlights are to be found on "big generator".
Trevor Horn (Yes) and Hugh Padgham (Genesis/Phil Collins/The Police) were two of the first producers who caught my attention for making sonic choices in the production that were always ear-catching, brave and integral to the compositions of the songs they were producing. “Changes”, “Owner of a Lonely Heart”, “Leave It” (90125) and “Big Generator”, “Love Will Find A Way”, and ‘Shoot High, Aim Low” (Big Generator) top a long list of Trevor Horn productions that I totally love.
Simple Minds - Street fighting years - is my favourite sounding album. And "Slave to the Rhythm".
Man, I love Shoot High Aim Low. Such a brilliant track.
This song is so good that it brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful vocal and instrumental composition, such passion and enjoyment from the band, and so well recorded. You can tell these guys really cared about their sound and giving their all to a performance!
This is one of my favorite Yes songs. An old band of mine covered this one. It was so much fun to play!
Rush.... YYZ. Its the Morse code identifier for Toronto Airport. The rhythm of that Morse code is in the song.
Wow, didn't know that - SO COOL!
I knew that! My local airport is MME which is musically boring
@@KeyOfGeebz Awesome! "Y": ting-ta-ting-ting "Z": ting-ting-ta-ta. Put it together (YYZ): ting-ta-ting-ting-ting-ta-ting-ting-ting-ting-ta-ta
I like to count it in 10/4 (or 4/4/ + 6/4).
@@paulbennett772 Hello UK! "MME" Not so boring, actually _ _ _ _ . dash dash dash dash dot can create a pretty cool pattern in 9/4 or 9/8! I live near Milwaukee WI USA. MKE is _ _ _ . _ . so I've got patterns in 5 (or 10) to work on. Cheers!
Love Rush!
My God man, I haven’t listened to that in 30 years...Thank you. I miss those days. I’d love to watch ya react to some Boston. You pick.
Same. Almost forgot about this masterpiece.
"YES" was the first concert I ever saw. Still a huge fan.
almost 40 years old and to my ears one of the clearest and most well produced and engineered albums ever made. The clarity is amazing.
Dude, I'm loving what you're doing with these videos so far! As an aspiring musician, your videos have been helping me become more aware of the complexities and the dynamics of what I've been subconsciously reacting to when listening to music. Thanks for putting your knowledge out there to all of us on TH-cam, and keep it up man!
Few words can express how magnificent this song is... the move from marimbas to the pop guitar in the intro is just cathartic
I'd never heard this song before now. Thank you for making this video! I love this song now. You really should make more of these types of videos.
Love what you're doing! Don't be shy about the theory stuff though, we love finding knowledgable people that can educate and bring greater levels of understanding to music. Your engineering and writing background is clearly extensive, the more you bring of that the better for all of us. There are tons of reactors who don't know anything about composition and engineering, lean into it and your channel will separate itself from the pack even more. Cheers!
I'd echo this. I'm not a musician at all, but hearing your input on the theory and especially the engineering is super interesting to me. Especially if you're talking about a lot of progressive music - the audience for those types of bands are going to be far more interested in that type of analysis IMO
Thanks. Yes is probably my favorite band of all time along with Jethro Tull and of course, Led Zeppelin. Yes still exists although always evolving, led by Steve Howe, joined by Geoffe Downes, Alan White, Billy Sherwood chosen by Chris Squire to replace him, and vocalist Jon Davison. Joined by White's probable replacement Jay Schellen for live shows. The last three mentioned have a new project Arc of Life, which could mean new Yes music to come?
Yes, for sure, more YES!
You had mentioned this song the other day when you were reviewing Rosetta stone. YES is the original band who has the most complex and unorthodox time signatures and tempo changes within their compositions. Absolutely wonderful music to listen to.
I dunno, King Crimson is up there. Also ELP.
Anyone ever listen to much Gentle Giant?
Dance on the Volcano is worth checking out as well.
I absolutely love Hearts.
Such a great track for sure!
Hella underated track there. I love it.
Shoot high Aim low I am African American 50 years old and grew up with gospel sang in choirs and made a Christian Rap album with Bongo Bob Smith I reel you this
Yes has always been my favorite band hands down. I know nothing about theory or recording but I loved your passion then you said shoot high aim low.. I threw my hands in the air Brother that has been the song I have played the most from Yes ....Drama is underrated Close to the edge is mesmerizing Bless you
Another dissection of a Yes song would be awesome. Maybe Shoot High, Aim Low like you mentioned. Or maybe something along the lines of Heart of the Sunrise. I’ve been wanting to learn a lot more about Yes and you’d be a great way to do that. Keep it up!
I appreciate your engineering perspective, I’m not an engineer or a musician unfortunately, but I love music, always have. Numerous genres as well. You open up a whole new side of music for me, I really enjoy it. Also, if memory serves me right, Tool was influenced by King Crimson too.
MORE PROG PLEASE. This is great. I'd love to see your take on some King Crimson or ELP at some point
King Crimson seems to get blocked a lot. I’d go for the Claypool/Lennon experience performance of “In The Court Of The Crimson King.”
Fripp won't allow KC on TH-cam for © reasons
From ELP either Karn Evil 9, or Tarkus are my favorite.
“Aim High” is SO GOOD, do it! Big Generator and 90125 are why I went back to older yes. I learned some of the bass parts to this song and drums as well, just to dream to play that good! These 2 albums also sounded and sound great in “monster car stereos” and used a few songs in car stereo competitions in the 80’s. Thanks for your “reaction” to this!!!
My husband is a musician, studied engineering at Berkeley and now is world renowned acoustician and studio designed…he recently designed Trevor Horn’s last studio after his previous one burned down(Yes has recorded in this new studio)….which is cool to me cuz I was a HUGE Yes fan growing up. My brothers best friend had a studio and we would blast 90210…..loud is the only way to truly appreciate Yes🔊🔊🔊😁
Edit: hubby also designed the drum Hover Deck (and GAMMA)….you being a musician may be familiar with those sound isolation products.
Amazing breakdown!!!
🙂🙏🏼💜✌🏼
Hey. Dude. Reaction vids are awesome, don't stop. What I also want to see is more educational videos regarding composing music. You obviously know your stuff. I want to hear about your methodology.
More to come!
@@KeyOfGeebz That sounds excellent!
My favorite song from this album. When I first heard this song in high school, what got me was that strong chord in the midst of the second verse...it vibrated my soul so strongly I nearly broke into tears 😢
I saw you look at the camera when it happened and thought, yeah! Awwright 😂🤙
Love this concept! Talk about your favourite tracks instead of others!
More from Yes, please!!!! ❤️ Greetings from Chile!! 🇨🇱
I used to steal this cassette from my dad to listen to it when i was a youngun.... still love this band.
Thanks again for showing me a new song!!!
You got me into my downward spiral of Oingo Boingo as well, haha!
Awesome!!! I'm a Big Big fan of Yes since i was a little child in 80s and it's a Big influence for me (i'm a prog metal fusion guitar músician ) so thanks a Lot for make this vid.lml
Also, do you have notes in front of you ever?! You're amazingly structured and linear in your thoughts. Super easy to follow, and I don't seem to see much editing. Very admirable, especially if you aren't using notes.
The keyboard/guitar meter contrast at the beginning of Changes kind of reminds me of the two separate musical lines going on in the instrumental break in the middle of Perpetual Change. All of it comes back together when the vocals come back together with the instruments in the chorus. It is a little more subtle and in the background with the guitar in Changes and featured more overtly contrasted musical phrases in Perpetual Change. In a way a it was a similar sort of thing. Ironically The Yes Album was Tony Kaye's last album with Yes prior to his returning in 90125. More specifically it starts at the 5:10 part of Perpetual Change. It is kind of jarring in the sense that one phrase is playing on the left stereo channel and the other that leads into the chorus is playing on the right channel. Big Yes fan here too. :)
This was my favorite song on this album. Some of the guitar passages are heavenly and the transitions illustrate what phenomenal composers they were along with being third eye purple level musicians. I saw them in So. Cal on their Reunion Tour back in the early 90's. Absolutely mind blowing.
YES! I was one of those in that new audience when 90125 was released. That album was probably one of the last one I bought in vinyl before I switched to CD's. Great track. I did check out the album after 'Owner of a Lonely Heart', but 'Changes' was my most played track, likely with the most scratches from dropping the needle again and again as well (together with 'It Can Happen' btw). The polyrhythm surely did tick me as a person who heavily tends to drum along with every bodily appendix with any track when diving in. At the time I was deeply into Genesis, Marillion, Dire Straits and similar bands as far as I can remember. That evolved to grunge as I moved to uni and became angry young student ... and to later move (back) to prog metal with Tool, The Gathering, etcetera. May have been a 'naturally logical' move idk?
Great analysis and explanation. Really enlightening. Thanks!
LOL(knew you’d go back to this after the reference in last Tool reaction)... one of the BEST tracks from my youth! This song (and album) really gave them an entirely new lease on creative endeavors. Always dug the vocal layering in “Love Will Find A Way” on Big Generator. Excellent production on both albums from the 80’s!
It's good to see you talking about the classics as well as finding music that is new to you. Always good to hear your thoughts.
I really enjoy watching your reactions - and I even more appreciate that you are using this medium to influence us as your audience. You are an expert in this, while most of us are arrogant music snobs, and I appreciate your insightful, introspective, and technical perspective on today's music scene. Thank you for doing this.
Thanks Mick 🤙🤙
This is perfect. I also agree with the Rick Beato reference. You just know music, and I learn so much watching you analyze and talk.
All of these bands so far are right up my alley. Came for the Tool, stayed for the Yes. I'm gonna put this record on right now and rock out.
Great idea for a video, I hoped you would do this when you mentioned it in the Rosetta Stoned video. Listening to Shoot High, Aim Low right now, thank you ✌️
Shot High is another classic - hope you liked it 🤙🤙🤙
This is my 2nd video to watch from your channel (just watched Meshuggah),
This track, "Hearts", "Cinema" and "City of Love" are my faves off this album. The intro, since the album was released, STILL gives me goosebumps. I Love the lyrics, Alan White's drumming and "footwork", and Rabin, with his voice along with the angelic Jon Anderson, his playing was what YES needed to ressurect the band.
I was late with Yes ("Drama"), and then went backwards in their catalogue about a year before 90125 came out. Even though I heard tracks on FM AOR Radio (especialy after 10pm - those were the days). I'm 57 now, a HUGE Metal (most of its subgenres), Progressive Rock/Prog Metal fan. Yes will always be in that Top 5 bands of all time.
A track I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend (other than the Classic Epics of theirs); From the *Talk* album: "The Endless Dream", an Epic from the Rabin era, so many layers and moods, and over the top musicianship, yet also gorgeous/angelic voices, the lyrics, just make it one of the Best EPIC tracks of all time. Yes "Shoot High, Aim Low" is a fave from Big Generator. Also "Final Eyes".
It also brings up 2 other layered EPIC tracks from the band "Frost*" and the instrumental opener "Hyperventilate" and the title-track "Milliontown" . . . Please, check these out Geebz, and your audience.
. . . I have soo many bands for you to checkout, many sadly that may not get requested. You have a new subscribber.
Great Album! I still have it on vinyl. This album holds amazing memories. 🔥
Such an underrated song by Yes. Trevor Horn is likewise a vastly underrated producer who made so many great choices on this entire album, one of which being Trevor Rabin keeping the bulk of the vocal work for this track. Rabin clearly had a much more traditional "rock" sound to his voice and fit the lyrical theme of this tune like a glove. And of course when Anderson comes in for the chorus and the bridge, it's just a spectacular contrast that elevates the song further. "Changes" and "It Can Happen" are my two favorites from 90125.
Great track. Remember playing thiswhen I was about 18 months into learning 6string, the only place I could get away was to set up in grandmas kitchen after dinner! Good track for floating in the dark too a la those first wow moments, dark side of the moon, whole lotta love, etc
Saw them four times. With Bruford and White. The syncopation, meters and overall musicianship is impeccable. Like Tool, their live performances were spot on!
Yes and Tool are the two best bands EVER. I have Tool and Yes videos on my youtube channel. I first head Roundabout when I was 19 in my sisters car, and now that I'm 35 they have been my favorite band almost half of my life. I discovered Tool about 4 years ago and they've found a spot next to Yes. Welcome to the Tool army. PLEASE READ TOOL LYRICS AFTER YOU LISTEN TO THE SONG. YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON A LOT.
With that in mind, listen to Disposition/Reflection/Triad next. Song trio that needs to be played with no gaps. Don't let streaming ruin the song transitions. Just like multiple Yes songs flow together, so do Tool songs.
Easily one of their best songs from the 80's Yes era, and from that album! Thanks for this, I've loved this song since the first time I heard it 15 years old, it blew my mind.
Thank you for this nice flashback moment. Yes was one of my favorites back in the day, I had all the albums up to 90125. I saw them in concert at the Cow Palace in SF 1984 & remember being entranced (I think I did smoke something) by Chris Squire. He moved like a cat so graceful wearing a long white kimono type thing with a big red Heart appliquéd to it. I am waxing nostalgic & I like it!
Just three months ago I listened to this entire cd again for the zillionth time. Thanks for the ride, this is such a great record!
There's an interview with Danny Carey where he discusses some of his influences, look for 1996 Danny Carey Interview+ Soundcheck [TV]
@70'sDave34 Ayup, most appropriately.
Changes was great, but I really loved how it flowed into Cinema and Leave It. It wasn't just this song, it was how the whole flow of songs ... flowed.
Possible aside - I heard this whole album on a road trip with my father in the 80s, on the flip side of the tape was ZZ Top's Eliminator album, and my favorite song off that is the song I Need You Tonight. IMO it's the absolute perfect blue song. Melodically, sonically, the solos, every note perfect - but it's not a song ever played on the radio. Would love to get your reaction to that song.
Have you tried out Emerson, Lake&Palmer yet? They're another set of prog beasts!
But they aren't very good
My brother in law turned me on to Yes! When I hear this song or any song off 90125 its totally transports me back to his basement shooting pool, smoking and drinkin a few! Thanks for your spin on things i really enjoy your point of view. I never learned how to read music but I do have a pretty good ear. I beat the skins a lil bit nothing better than just flowing with a song you really dig! Im no time keeper but I do ok..a lil wish washy but I really enjoy it.. I wish I had taken the time to learn how to read music when i was young. Keep doing your thing I dig it man! Catch ya on the flipside man! Peace!!
Takes me back to the early 80's, riding BART to college in SF. Glad to see someone reviewing Yes!
I saw Yes tour supporting this release. Totally amazing. Bugs Bunny cartoon opened the show :] (the one where Bugs was being chased in slow motion while on ether... omg good times)
Forgot about that... what a reminder.
Man.... Now I gotta go dig out this vinyl!
This. Is. Beautiful.
I’m so glad you did this! Hearing your technical breakdowns of these iconic songs is really interesting. I’d like to suggest “A Statue Of The King” by Avatar and “Beast and The Harlot” by Avenged Sevenfold. Both I think you will find compositionally interesting.
A7x is trash.
@@Bs73471 eh, they’re not for everyone, I get it. I’m more interested in the technical aspect of that song that Geebz could provide.
That heartbeat bass drum at the end...woah!
You should react to Gojira. Progressive Death Metal that also plays a lot with polyrhythm and odd meters. Also their riffs are heavy but different anf unique.
When Alan white, Tony kaye, and Billy sherwood were in a side project, called circa, a number of yes fans went out to dinner with them. My friend and I sat near Alan, he played changes on the table breaking down the timing and syncopation for us... 🤩
I saw this concert in Germany in 85 where I was stationed, INCREDIBLE SHOW 😅😊
Such a great song and album... I had this on CD back when it came out and you reminded me that it's a lot more than just "Owner..."
Your smile at the begining of the song tells everything we need to know
my man! Could you maybe review Tempes Fugit by Yes
"Drama" is an awesome album.
@@Easy_Skanking one of my favourites actually!
@@eshmaabeats8362 Same here. 😁 "Machine Messiah" is so cool.
@@Easy_Skanking I've loved that album since its release in 1980. 40 years later and still has a futuristic vibe to it.
@@Muckbucket It really does. It's a unicorn of a Yes album. It's a unique adventure of it's own kind but it's still Yes.
Guitar player here... enjoyed the vid with my beer... Ontario canada
If you like Shoot High, Aim Low (as I do), you might like The More We Live - Let Go from the Union album. It was mixed by Eddy Offord in “Spherical Sound” on Radian speakers. I think it went by another name like “Q Sound”. If I remember correctly, it’s supposed to sound better on your monitors than your headphones. You should give it a listen. Enjoy.
What I love about this song is that the intro sounds off and awkward and keeps the listener off balance. The polyrhythms you speak about also expresses that constant shift of change, and making you feel off-kilter, until the guitar and instrumental comes in and “smooths” things out, so you feel relief that you are starting to feel reassured of a tempo you can relax and lose yourself in. It’s great workmanship in the aural senses!
How about a live video next? Dancing with the Moonlit Knight - Steve Hackett and band. Nad Sylvan is incredible on the Hammersmith version!
90125 has been one of my favorite albums for ever! Im also a huge fan of Tool, and A Perfect Circle, Rush, ect. Love the channel, keep 'em coming....BTW, Check out a band called Intronaut, I saw them open for Tool years ago and have been hooked since. Danny Walker WAS the drummer, and is just incredible. Cheers
This is the type of reaction I want to hear...a more theoretical, exploring meters, engineering, etc. The "hey that's cool, never heard this before, kthxbai" is cool. But getting in deeper with a song is where I'm at now.
It took me years to learn that intro on guitar. I didn't count it with the beats; I did it more like "do this at 32 seconds in, 47 seconds in", etc. There was no way my brain would have been able to follow whatever beat that was.
I soaked in this recording when I was in early high school, listening to it in the family den every night for about 6-7 weeks straight. 90125 is part of my DNA now and #5 on my all time Desert Island Disc list.
Mahalo, bruddah 🤙
7/8 10/8 alternating time signatures. The rhythm guitar give insight to the heartbeat (if you will) as the intro fades into the main body of the song. Reminds me of Jacob's Ladder and Pneuma (which I still struggle with tying the guitar phrasing and drums together....)
I had just started typing Shoot High...when you mentioned it. The alternating phrasing of dotted ⅛ and triplets was always a thrill to get right on the drums!!
Ok. I’m not a musician but I was just trying to count quickly and guess.. I wasn’t that far off thinking 15/16!
I always felt like it breaks up most naturally into groups of 4 and 3 eighth notes at a time... still adds up to basically the same thing of course, 7/8 + 10/8, or 17/8 , just a question of how you group it. Personally I feel where it's going best by counting it as a pattern of ( 4, 3, 4, 3, 3 ) if that makes sense :-)
Another brilliant touch is the way Squire bends his bass notes, esp holding the C just a little bit sharp in the basic D-Bb-C riff of the verse.
Yes!
Wow - As a non-musician, I always liked this song, though I was never sure why. I had an instinctive sense that it had something to do with rhythm and surprise. While I didn’t understand much of what you explained, enough got through so that I can appreciate it and other songs more. Thanks
One of my favorite bands.
Would be great if you could do a reaction to some King Crimson,especially Larks tongue era
Wow... Now THERE'S a rabbit hole. Oh and on their newer stuff, Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree) is the drummer!
@@Dwendele Saw KC a few years ago, with the trio of drummers. Holy Crap. One of the best shows I've ever been to.
Most def have KC on my short list - They are LEGENDS for sure!
Oh god yes please
This is exactly what I was talking about. You have a huge trove of knowledge, insights and inside stories.
You should take a look at Rick Beato.
I think you are on par with that guy.
@Antonio I've been watching Rick for several years, and you are totally correct.
Same. I have learned more in the last 3 years listening to Rick, than in all my 25 years of playing and am better at guitar for it.
Thanks for the memories Old Man.
That "ALLRIGHHHHT" at the end. That's a good catch phrase. 😁
Yes is such a great band!!! I havn't really ever dug into their catalog, I really should find myself in that rabbit hole soon.. Also, please check out Tangled Hair 'Keep Doing What You're Doing' (you have to watch the live video from the MIlkTimeProductions youtube channel (the audio production is studio quality. its not what you would think a live recording would sound like) The drummer is so good, the whole band is, but the drummer OMG!
If you’ve not dug into their catalog: there’s so much to discover!
Yes has a deep discography. You'll probably find yourself enjoying some album groupings more than others, but there's good music across their whole span!
Sooo goood .... one of my favourite LPs ever. All the best from Germany.
Masterpiece.
First time I heard Changes.
It was a beautiful summer day, I was driving a beach buggy with a phenominal sound system playing this song. Yes music is very powerful. 🙂
I've been a fan of Yes since 1973. Back then, music critics would say their music was 10 years ahead of its time. I guess they were right as once this album came out, the world was ready to accept them. Yes was my gateway into progressive music as they took me into Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Rush. I now hear bands like Epica and Nightwish and think of them as the great-grandchildren of the classic progressive bands of the '70s.
Yes was one of my first introductions into music as a teen, thanks for the memories!
Check out the band Strawberry Girls. Song called Spanish Bay.
and if he does, he needs to watch the Audiotree Live version.. I'd love to see some more math rock on reaction channels.
I figured years ago it was morse code, but I did not know the specifics. Thanks.
Wow this is really good.
I am 42 years old This is my favorite Yes album Ive had this record since Highschool. Loved every track
Yes!.... Yes! Lol I clicked like before watching!
Totally agree with the “shoot high aim low”….
This is by far the best track on this album...I went and saw this tour live plus one more time around 1986. They are really great and sound just like the record.
Really enjoyed your insight . I have been listening to yes since the seventies . I Really an amazing musical journey .
Meshuggah... “Clockworks” drums. Haake is a God. Very prog. Very impressive.
Love the shirt man. Great movie.
Great song, great album and some of the best production ever committed to tape
I am digging the YES
