- Live at Montreux 2003 is a live album from the English progressive rock band Yes. It is a live recording of the group's headlining concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival on 14 July 2003. This is the first official album to feature the classic line-up of lead vocalist Jon Anderson, guitarist Steve Howe, keyboardist Rick Wakeman, bassist Chris Squire and drummer Alan White since the 1996/1997 Keys to Ascension live albums, along with a DVD also entitled Keys to Ascension. The album was released on September 3, 2007, during a hiatus in the band's activity following a tour ending in 2004.
"The Fish" was Chris Squire's nickname. He earned it primarily due to his very long baths he would take, back when several members lived in the same flat and had to share the bathroom. Bill (Bruford) especially was not amused. He also happens to be a Pisces.
The subtitle for this song is "Schindleria Praematurus," which is an obscure, neotenic marine fish from the Pacific ocean. "Neotenic" means the adult fish exhibits no adult characteristics, only juvenile characteristics. The story is that Chris Squire had the melody and wanted to sing the name of a fish that had eight syllables, and dispatched a roadie (Maybe Michael Tait) to find one. The best he could find had nine, which is why the last syllable kind of trails off.
Squire's solo also incorporates much of the bass lines from the song "Tempus Fugit", which is a Latin phrase usually translated into English as "Time Flies".
What moves us through the silence of Chris Squire's passing is to know that he will live in our hearts always. What he leaves behind is not to die, but to live on in the minds and hearts of those who loved him. Chris, you made part of this life shared very special for both of us. R.I.P dear Chris ~ Bass Player Extraordinaire ღღღ
In the love of There, as in the love of Here, we will think of him still as the same ...
1948~2015 ~> You (Chris Squire) were a superb talent. YES!
RIP- (Dan & Donna) ~ Forever fans ...
Amen. RIP this beautiful human being Chris Squire, A real genius.
P.S. Quire. I'm really glad he's known to be late. What a guy.
I would have loved Chris to have been able to read your comment - so touching 😢❤️
Nicely put.
Chris was a wonderful musician but kind of a turd personally. I was in a band called Roots Of Consciousness that opened for them in Atlanta on....the Talk tour?
Jon brought us out around the stage with them before the show because they were going to do Purple Haze as an encore, and he couldn't remember the lyrics. His bright idea, which was incredibly fun for about 10 minutes, was for us to help him re-learn the lyrics.... until Mr. Squire came out and said, if I recall, "Get these twats out of here."
We got a smile and a wink from Jon and split. Still love you Chris.
When I was a kid, my friends wanted to be guitarists or drummers. I wanted to be Chris Squire. Thank you Chris. R.I.P. :(
pop gun Me, too. I am sure, many more young bass freaks wanted to be like him, to sound like him...and to copy his signature stereo Rickenbacker sound. A major impact in progressiv rock for all who came after him.
Indeed. And Eargasm @ 3:33
pop gun really? Great! I think Chris was One of greatest bassist of every time.
pop gun ohhhh i don't know i cry for this wonderful lost 🎶Musican 🌿❤️🌿❤️
i still do!
Chris Squire, pure genius, you are so much missed!
Please YOU TUBE, don't delete this video. In memory of Chris
The best ever
One of the greatest of all time! Amazing player. I saw Yes live several times. You could feel that bass right down to your bones. The feeling would stay with me for days, weeks. I can still feel it if I really try. A tiny bit of him lives in anyone who ever felt it.
Indeed- "A tiny bit of him lives in anyone who ever felt it." The man is legendary...
Yes/I want him back /I'm still learning /and than /gone /most difficult//for the living /and lucky very/experience/
Not just beautiful bass playing on Chris's part. Beautiful support by his bandmates, allowing him to show his stuff.
This was probably the last time in their touring career they were at their best. Howe was simply a virtuoso, White hadn't started to decline yet, Squire was alive and at the top of his game, and Wakeman was awesome and with the band. I loved this group for 50 years. RIP Mr. Squire and Mr. White. You are missed.
I’d agree with that…the tempo sadly dropped to a snails pace after this then they began replacing Jon and it was just a sad sight to see…
I’m sure The Steve Howe experience play more like this now but I don’t care for tribute bands…
Loved 🍅
RIP Chris. I hope your spirit is soaring to the Heart Of The Sunrise right now.
Rest in Rock Chris Squire and Alan White, greatest rhythm section ever
Hard to believe they both gone
Umm that's a bit of a stretch. Best rhythm section would be either The Who or Rush.
@@Silenceeify Start your own thread.
Looking at the smile on chris's face you could see that he loves what he's doing. you can't wish for more than that.
Nobody Sounded Like Chris. Even Geddy Lee was inspired by him.
You are so correct. *Nobody* sounded like Chris. His gift of creating melodies for such intensely complicated music is unsurpassed. Geddy was indeed inspired by Chris and you can hear much of Chris' soul in Geddy's playing. I expect that's what led Geddy to begin his career playing a Rickenbacker bass. Chris was the epitome of the phrase "Man on Bass."
MysticRhythmsLive Chris said his bass had the sound that it did because the back pickup was never that good.
@@nickavenoso7851 I had never heard that! If Chris said it, it must be true. Ricks have a distinctive high end sound and "growl" that I love. One thing's for sure, nobodies Rick sounded like Chris Squire's.
MysticRhythmsLive He talks about it in the rig rundown he did with Premier Guitar. Some of Geddy’s playing on Cygnus X-1 Book 2, actually kind of reminds me of Chris. You can definitely hear Yes influences in Rush’s earlier material. I also remember hearing Geddy say that Yes is the only band that he waited in line for hours to see.
Chris split his signal output going to a bass amp and a guitar amp. Additionally, when Chris strikes a string with a pick his thumb follows it a split second later giving each stroke a slight chorus effect.
Braveheartness bass, warrior of love ! Sir Squire, what an honor having heard from you and having seen you, we hope meet you one Day for ever !
Indeed ... thank you for a great comment!
So Sad that Chris and Alan are no longer with us. Chris is a legend and a true innovator. One of the best to ever play the instrument. Not to mention his contributions as a vocalist and songwriter.
The FISH is now forever in The Topographic Oceans... R.I.P. CHRIS... and thanks for the MUSIC !!!!
AWESOME.I JUST LOVE WATCHING CHRIS WITH HIS MAGIC
He did make magic! YES! -:)
Mr. Squire's tone, dynamics, depth and soul are unbeatable... those basslines, those notes, they belong to a spectrum that you can hear, you can listen, you can enjoy, but you can never reach. His passing is just a detail, of course he will never leave us... still here, always.
Beautiful words my friend. Truly.
Indeed ... his legacy lives on ...
For bass players like myself, the late, great Chris Squire is always a source of inspiration
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for commenting!
The most perfect band to ever walk our mothership!!! ☮️❤️
The world is at such a loss without him
Steve Howe + Chris Squire = Musical Perfection!
I agree completely! R.I.P. Chris "The Fish" Squire
I loved seeing Alan and Chris together. They were always having so much fun. They were smiling, laughing, and giving each other looks. Just shows the difference between an actual musician and a cocky show-off.
This is how I like to remember the big fella, such charisma on stage. Brilliant !!
That he was ... brilliantly shining as a star, even then ... RIP Chris.
I feel like a lost a childhood friend, Fragile was one of the first albums I purchased, I remember how amazing it was to listen to it for the first time. Brilliant RIP Chris.
My favorite part about Chris Squire's style, is that he played the bass in a way that reminds me of the way I, a clasically trained flutist, play my instrument. Not exactly going full improv, but rather focusing on remembering every note and the correct timing of it.
Chris Squire's unique tone was very clear and distinct, and his playing was noted for being aggressive, dynamic and melodic. A true artist!
He mastered his instrument and complemented Yes's sound perfectly. And his tone was addictive. RIP legend
@@sibro4747 Thanks bro ...... "RIP legend"
chris was a great ham,and i loved it,he was a genious and master of his craft and enjoyment.
He was! And we hadda' love that! lol...
The biggest bass guitar in the world!!!! Great Chris we miss you
He was a monster Matt, 6'5" and Hands the size of footballs; he handled the base like a harp with grace
It's wasn't just Chris' killer playing as if that wasn't enough but, it was also his killer tone! See you at the big gig in the sky.
For those about to rock, Sir Chris Squire, we most humbly salute you.
"Sir Chris Squire, we most humbly salute you"
RIP, genius, may your sounds be a treasure for all forthcoming generations
Such an hypnotic masterpiece and a kick ass Chris Squire.
He loved to play for us! What a great big wonderful human being!
YES- he was that, and such a gift to the world of incredible unforgettable music!
We've lost another guitar hero. Thankful for the decades of great performances, and recordings to cherish for the years to come.
Its like yesterday. I remember the cool sound of Rickenbacker then I listen to the old Yes LPs for more than 30 years ago. Lying on the floor , drinking some wine with friends. Thank Yes and Chris for that never forgetting time in my life. R.I.P Miss you.
I have this on DVD, but I'll watch it here as well. This NEVER gets old. I was fortunate enough to see them on this tour in Austin at the original Backyard. Amazing concert.
Greatness never dies ... It never gets old either ... Thank you!
Am a man, and I love this man, rest in peace Chris Squire.
From men that admired a man who was like a brother to his fans .. RIP Chris ...
He opened up new worlds for Bass players.Thank you FISH!
We were lucky to be around during the same time as Chris Squire. RIP.
This is fantastic!! Love the whole band but Chris Squire has my heart,,,♥️,,,love the way he dresses~stage presence and a fantastic bassist!
Saw them on the ‘78 Tormato revolving stage tour “in the round”, a bombastic visual treat and with Alan White drumming! 😅
We'll miss this giant.
Been a good while since I've seen this. It was just insane how much Chris & AW were locked in. RIP to both of them...
Brilliant musician, good memories. Thankfully this is recorded for everyone to be able to keep enjoying Chris Squire and Yes.
I so agree! "Thankfully this is recorded for everyone to be able to keep enjoying Chris Squire and Yes." -:)
For me the greatest bass guitar player ever. From "dumdumdum" he opened new rooms for bass guitar. This was a sensation in the early 1970ies. Rest in Peace, Chris Squire.
My lovely Pamela is gone from the earth now, but this brings me back with her, if but for a brief moment, thank you..
You're very welcome. Thank you for a precious moment shared, Bill. May both Chris and your beloved wife RIP. -:)
Chris was an amazing musician. Long live his music.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Each man the best in the prog rock world...and I so love Chris...the best ever bass guitarist!!!
Sad news today, Thank you Chris Squire for all the great music. This song represents just how great Chris was.
this is not just bass solo this is the music this is soul !
To me, Chris Squire was the "musician supreme" ....and played bass so skillfully and delicately, that he still remains my favorite musician. I have the highest admiration and appreciation for Yes in every way. We have all been blessed by them all the way since their beginnings right up to this day.
I always going to remember Chris with this song. RIP.
Man he's been playing that guitar for a loooooooong time. That guitar is the sound of Yes. I bet you could plug that guitar in and smile " Yup! That's the sound on all those records."
He's as incredible among the stars, no doubt! Thanks for commenting!
My favorite bass player ever..
He's definitely one of my faves, along with Geddy Lee and others. Chris had such a great melodic style, never overplaying on the songs or trying to show he was the best. His bass lines are what made so many of the Yes songs as incredible as they are.
Every note that Chris plays reverberates from his bass strings, into the heavens, bouncing off of Asteroid (90125) Chrissquire, then returning to earth, into our ears to be enjoyed eternally!
R.I.P Chris Squire .... One of the great Bass player
There is only one Chris Squire. RIP❤️☮️🎸
The Fish is dead. Long live The Fish! RIP Chris Squire
You kinda contradicted yourself there.
You sure don't see this kind of musicianship in today's generation of so-called artists. No sequencers, no computers, no lip-synching. Just raw talent.
As raw as it gets; YES ruled the day -:)
god when he started playing tempus fugit i almost passed out omg
a true inspiration, my fav bass player forever, rest in peace Chris Squire
My favorite bassist of all time...a genius. Your music will live forever.
Rip Genius Chris Squire! Rip Alan White Drummer Genius !! 😔😔😔😭😭😭😢😢😢😢🥺🥺🥺!!
Rest in peace Chris. The entire music world sheds a tear today. Thank you for giving us 45 years of your fantastic music.
Chris Squire is the best bassist there ever was. He could do it all! And he stood the test of time. Yes. Thank God for music.
Thank God indeed!😎
I first saw Yes at Wembley Arena in 1978. I remember Chris’ bass playing above all the rest. I also had the privilege of meeting him years later and shook his hand. It was like touching the hand of God. Gone but never forgotten
@@stevemerry2949 hand of God? C'mon, man!
@@lonelybro77It’s a figure of speech. Some people admire people and they’re allowed to.
Thank you Chris. Rest in peace. Fishy
farewell to the greatest Rickenbacker (4001) bass player of all times with respect to Sir Paul McCartney! rest n' peace bro'r bassist Chris Squire...your music & videos will live on!!!
Damn! When Chris goes into that Tempus Fugit riff, Chills! His sound inspired me to buy a bass although I will never come close to replicating what came from his soul.
That part was great, but the On the Silent Wings of Freedom part also gave me some chills. That song has always been one of my favorites from Yes and has some Chris’s best playing, along with Tempus Fugit. RIP Chris. We all miss you. We will continue to share and love your music forever.
steve howe with the constant rif unbelievable ...................
A master at his trade!
A fantastic giant left somewhere else... A thousand thanks, great Chris !!
Squire and White.... the engine of Yes. Rest easy gentlemen your memory will never fade.
I’ll smoke 💨 to that 🤘
OMG this has to be one of the greatest bass tone's i've ever heard, if My bass tone was like this i would never stop playing it
Flanger I believe is one of them.
@@IAmInfinitus208 Chorus would also work. It doesn’t sound very “jet like” here. And another thing is boosting lots of mids and a bit of treble too.
That's brought tears to my eyes. God bless you Mr Christopher Squire x
Mine too ... may Chris RIP ...
The Fish is no longer out of the water....Back to the river of life everlasting ...God Bless and keep you, Christopher.....Thanks for the decades of music you gave us......Amazing Grace with your bass and voice added to the rest performing in heaven eternal
His music will live forever! He will forever reign as the one of the best. We will miss his talent and love for music until we are gone. We Have Heaven!
It's just the style and presentation, the approach to this piece that makes it such a treasure. I love Squire's artistry as he plays!!
The man was a treasure. -:)
one of the greats, Chris Squire. I was fortunate enough to see YES back in the 70's
Chris with Steve Howe on the various guitars was one my favorite bass/ guitar duos.
RIP Chris.
On the silent wings of freedom now...
The Fish/Tempus Fugit/On The Silent Wings of Freedom, love the solo bass of Chris Squire, love it
Have enjoyed Yessongs for 40+ years. Geniuses who played well together. I foresee many appreciating their magical sonic tapestries for generations to come. Wish I'd kept my MoFi "Close to the Edge". Thank you for posting this piece of history. I hope to listen to Chris, Jon, Steve, Rick, Bill, Alan, et al in the hereafter. Yes w/ orchestral accompaniment--doesn't get finer!
This was a work of the heart - I thank you for the wonderful comment and well deserved accolades to YES as it was at this time. RIP Chris- you are a Star still ... and evermore.
Chris is one of my largest inspirations when it comes to my music. Rest in peace.
When a musician inspires you to that extent, it is the ultimate compliment to them. He was a giant in music. R.I.P. Chris "The Fish" Squire.
BIG FISH! Chris Squire will always be one of my favorite bass players. His style and sound made YES. I loved playing drums along with YES because of Chris Squire's bad ass bass playing!
The man was a legend entertainer! May he RIP warmly welcomed into that great gig in the sky-:)
how does one go about fretting so lightly on the guitar like Howe?? it amazes me how soft he is with his guitar
He isn't pressing the strings to the frets, he's playing harmonics.
@@christianfoster3806thanks for answering! That makes sense now, I thought it was just low action
The Amazing Chris Squire! Champion of the picks!! So wonderful to watch!
On the subject of fish/ Fish Out of Water was the greatest solo album of any Yes member !!!###
💯
Body is gone but the soul still plays amazing bass lets celebrate an amazing body of work and a smile that shows the love for what he does. Thank you for incredible music.
R.I.P Chris, thank you for the music!!
The last time I Chris was at a small club in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This was during the Benoit David tour. Oliver Wakeman was on keys. I was in the 2nd row in front of Steve, so I had a great view. During this solo piece, Chris would get a sly look on his face, then play a note that rattled the hell out of the building. I thought the rafters would come down! Good times. Rest in peace Chris Squire...
Chris amazed us always! -:) He made for good times like few others ever could, ever will. -:) Rest in peace Chris Squire...
__I sent a letter requesting an autograph to Chris Squire through Stone Ghost Productions about ten years ago. I had recently lucked out and obtained a signature Rickenbacker 'Chris Squire' 4001 bass guitar in one of but a very few left handed models. I was hoping that his publicist would send me one but to my surprise I received a very personal hand written and signed letter from Chris himself thanking me for my fan support over the years and asking me what I thought of the bass. He sounded like a regular, down to earth fellow. To my additional surprise I also received a 'used', signed guitar strap and a "Fish Out Of Water" CD with the case signed, "Best wishes to 'me', Chris Squire".
__Chris, I am still to this day awestruck by your kindness for taking the time to make a mere mortal like me feel like a million bucks. As if your music wasn't already enough of a gift. Thanks and I'll see ya when I see ya.....
This is such a fantastic story! I'm so glad you shared this...it's not often that I hear of things so personal and incredible. Chris really went out of his way for you, obviously a very dedicated fan. Kudos to you for obtaining the signature lefty Rick; I'm sure it's a beauty and has even more meaning to you now considering what Chris did. I assume you still have it? Thanks so much for commenting, it is very much appreciated! ~ Dan
A superlative talent! Just mesmerized by his use of percussion and harmonics! Not found, heard or seen anywhere else...ever!!! R.I.P. Mr. Squire.
RIP, Chris Squire. Loved seeing you play the bass !!
I'm glad I saw him play numerous times. He was one of the best bass players ever. Yes never stopped touring.
Had to come back here after hearing Alan White's passing today. He has now joined The Fish...
There will Never be another band like YES. They were a Gift, and a dam good one at that !! Thank you to all the members of this Phenomenal Band !!
Absolute masterpiece. Virtuous Musicians, light years ahead.
YES indeed-:)
Adios Christ, for ever in my heart, thank you for YES,GRANDE MAESTRO!!
GNARLY BASS SOUND - GREAT! I LOVE THIS RECORDING!
😎👍! -:)
Thanks, I never knew why Chris was called “The Fish”
-:)
RIP Chris, my life, and the world of music, has been much richer because you lived!
Yes is my favorite band, and Chris, one of my favorite bass players and human beings, and his solo effort, an incredible work. But for god's sake, watching this video, with so many people involved in the making I can't help but wonder if that afternoon, by some rare miracle, Chris arrived on time at the studio, or kept dozens of people waiting for him.
Forever missed, Fish. You were a musician and a soul like no other. 🎸👏👏👏👏
Was a Yes fan since 1970...saw Yes play August 15,1972 @ The now defunct Spectrum in Philly, along with The Eagles and Jo Jo Gunne ...I am a guitarist, but was totally blown away by Chris Squire’s innovative Bass technique and stage presence.
I got to met him years later, what a great guy,..tall, genteel, unassuming, and genuinely appreciative of his fans.
RIP Chris Squire.
Thanks Ron- great comment! -:)
On to the heart of the sunrise. ..such a sad day.
Rest in peace, master of the base guitar! It's been a pleasure to get to know you through yes music all over the years!
Genius! R.I.P. Chris....
Hear hear!
It's videos like this that will keep Chris Squire alive for ever! I so glad I got to take my son to see YES where he recreated this solo, nearly melting the rafters!!!
R.I.P Chris and Allan.
Peter also
