The first two YES albums are vastly underrated; strangely relaxing / calming to listen to with jazz influenced spacey jams courtesy of Banks and Bruford.......RIP Squire Chris and Peter Banks you especially are not forgotten.........
+Harold de Mure my favourite all time records from yes are the first three...i adore rick wakeman but the first records with kaye have a special mood, less obviously baroque but the way tony kaye played the organ is impressive, and perfectly matching the style of the songs.
Chris Squire . Greatest bass player ever . LOVED that top end mettallic sound he got . Thanks for everything Chris . I'm so glad I saw you in Sydney not long before he was taken from us . You played the best lead bass guitar breaks I've ever heard .
Love the period when Jon could sing in his quieter and lower range, which is quite rich. Also love the outright jazz influence in their earlier recordings. Love what Alan White brought to the band but, Bill's departure changed so much about the band.
I was thinking the same thing. Later recordings, Jon started almost yelping the songs but this song along with Sweetness, I See You, Survival , you really appreciate Jon's high tenor vocals. I also agree the Bill leaving the band effected their sound so much. I saw an interview where Rick Wakeman said that"Bill leaving is when you can see the cracks in the scaffolding and we were never quite the same"
I too love the lower range way more than the upper one of 20 years + later. This song really brings out Chris’s playing and shows how each member especially Jon and Steve were drop dead gorgeous.
Norman, So sorry for your loss. Peter will always be in the airwaves and in our lives. He was a super super gifted person. But you know that. Peace to Peter.
I thought of the concept of MTV in 1969. Films to music when I was 15 years old. Not bragging but like you I loved the idea. MTV started in 1981 and I heard they just shut down the channel a day or two ago. No faith nor true understanding of the concept if done properly !
I played this for a young person who (1) never heard of progressive rock and (2) thinks rock and roll is ancient, yelling music. She was HIGHLY impressed!
4:33 And here we see Chris making his finest innovation. Not one on the bass guitar, no, but instead making what would become the DAB👌 👌👌 👌 💯 👌 👀 👀 👀 👌👌
@@elizabethdiggar3115 dabbing is a dance move where you give a sharp nod into your forearm while gesturing in a direction and gesturing in the same direction with your other arm outstretched.
That doesn't look like a dab to me, instead it feels more like a double and diagonal verison of the roman salute, but that's just coincidential, i'm sure there was no maliscious intent there.
As others who have said the same - been a fan since the early 70's and this is the first time I've seen this video. Was laughing and smiling all the way through,
Wow, I didn't know Yes made actual music videos like this back in the day. This is both seductively tranquil and wacky at the same time. Steve Howe's goofy face at 2:28 cracks me up every time! LOL Thanks for posting. :) Cheers!
This is hilarious. Ahead of its time, years before MTV. The Bruford/Kaye period of Yes is one of my absolute favorites. It swings, grooves, and rocks in a way that the Wakeman/White period doesn't. I wish this incarnation had remained intact for a few more albums.
Well put, I feel the exact same way. This album is great but I wish it was longer, the jazz influence and the grooviness of the whole thing is very infectious.
Yeah, this clip seemed to have a decent budget behind it, even though Yes were not yet very successful sales-wise. It still looks so great because it was shot on film.
It's deeply disappointing that as a Yes-obsessed teenager in the 70's I had no idea these videos existed and now I get to see them when I am close to 60 and the obsession has long passed, although the appreciation is still very much there. Where was TH-cam when I needed it? Love the Time And A Word album - agree with other comments that it has a special mood. Those early gigs in the Marquee Club must have been very special.
I'm beside myself. Haven't heard these. Haven't seen these. Jon Andersen and Chris Squire began something extraordinary way back then. Everything old is new again!
This is the Yes I knew before the Yes Album, CTTE, TFTO, etc. The Yes that kept playing in my mind as I went about my day, Everydays. And, Then, when I listened to the rest of it I realized we were so Close to the Edge, telling Tales from Topographic Oceans. WOW!!
Even though Steve's taking part in these promos, the guitar work was Peter Banks's, and he can really tear it up. MAkes you wonder what would happen if Steve and Peter shared a stage.
Wow! I've been following Yes since the beginning and I have not seen that video till now. So of it's time and they all look SO Young! Makes me want to go back in time to my Youth before the world got Ugly. "Thank-You" for posting it. So enjoyable. Kinda of nice but sad to see Chris though May he Rest In Peace.
I LOVE JON ANDERSON'S VOICE ON THIS. Honestly. After 1972, this Jon Anderson never came back. And I miss this one. Earthy. Bluesy. Jazzy. When he started singing like he was forming a Cult, he lost me.
Look at the sad goodbyes Everyday's are killing time Sun coming up outside No men are born this time Saturday's child stays home Nothing to say So long Well, well, well, Another day Well, well, well, Another day, day, day Grocery store Ten bucks Just making change for plastic cherries Up in a tree, jaybird Looking at me, no word Everyone looks We can't see We can't be ignored easily Well, well, well, Another day Well, well, well, Another day Soft within the wayward things Like ecstasy The sound of trees Most anything What a baby sees Beautiful face, alright Many a place, outta sight Old woman there with red shoes One million balloons, all used Drive over hills, forget your fear Getting it out of second gear Well, well, well, Another day Well, well, well, Another day Songwriters: STEPHEN STILLS
Such a cool choice for a song to cover. I wonder if Stills has ever heard it. They made some very interesting choices on what to cover; along with some interesting arrangements. Stuff like "Every Little Thing", "America", "I See You", "No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed"
Agree,a wonderful cover that I only recently discovered after decades of dipping in and out of YES. Now one of my all time favourites, for as you mentioned,it's arrangement etc. The strings and vocals especially, give it a beautifully dreamy feel. Do like Buffalo Springfied's original,but this is far superior, in my opinion.
Thanks! Never knew this video existed. Maybe a parody of the Hard Day's Night intro and other scenes from a few years earlier where mobs of girls chased The Beatles through the streets.
I've always felt songs like this would feel appropriate in a coffee spot, like Starbucks; it just gives a chill atmosphere, like you're waking up or just chilling.
I know most people wouldn't agree with me, but it would've been f*cking hilarious if Emerson, Lake and Palmer just showed up out of nowhere and joined the guys as they were running away from that nun. XD
Plot twist: The nun is actually Robert Fripp, chasing after Bill.
LOL!

I nearly spit my drink when I read your comment
I LAUGHED OUT LOUD
It's because Jon and Chris both missed choir practices a few years earlier ... :)

I agree! I've always said that too. They are incredibly underrated.
people seem to forget how much Anderson, Bruford, and Squire brought to the table when they consider the first 2 albums
I hope I will never forget these first two... ! :)
Oh man, the two first albums are the best indeed. I really love the vibe there
Been a Yes fan for over 30 years and have never seen this video before, thanks for sharing!
Nice! 40 for me! 🤟😎☮️
You have not been chased by a woman, until you have been chased by a nun to jazz fusion soundtrack. ;)
Wow. Fisrt time i see was in 2008. Been 7 years a YES fan by the time.
They were unique from the beginning. That voice will never be duplicated. Long live YES.
yeap ...we will never hear their likes again .....kind of sad.
Chris peeking out from behind a tree has to be the most endearing thing I've seen today.
Chris Squire . Greatest bass player ever . LOVED that top end mettallic sound he got .
Thanks for everything Chris . I'm so glad I saw you in Sydney not long before he was taken from us .
You played the best lead bass guitar breaks I've ever heard .
Yep. I think the bass guitar sound on this track is the best ever recorded, any where by any one.
Jon is so precious
How many people does it take to chase down Yes?
Nun.
lol!
@Tango Jones because they’re treasures
🤣👍 underrated comment! ❤️
Great musicians but they look like they've never run before!
Lol
Yes, Emerson lake and Palmer, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, The Mahvishnu Orchestra, Gentle Giant, Return to forever. What a decade!
and ZAPPA!
Soft Machine
& Gong & & PFM !
Genesis!
bastidface And Magma, Happy the man, Brand X, UK, Gryphon, Camel, Colosseum II. And all the ones that you guys mentioned.

Alan White was a great drummer, but Bill Bruford was more than a drummer, he was on artist/composer level.
"A Hard Days Yes"
DJ Soulie hahahahahahaha
Lol
Yup saw your comment after mine. Its nice Yes had a sense humour, Anderson now says he was high most of the time lol
Yes is so complex there music is just what pics you up on a down day😊
@@GordonEngels really? High? It's not obvious.lol
So young! So happy! So full of energy!
I love that there are humans that exist in this world that can make this kind of artistic music (and videos)
This is in Bruges, Belgium. I had no idea they had done these videos back then. Fun to see.
man us children of the 70's had a goldmine! who would have thought it at the time we were living in perhaps the most talent rich era in rock history!
Inderdaad in Brugge
oh thank you :) .. I was wondering..
I thought it was the river Cam that winds thru Kings College in Cambridge. Are you sure it's Belgium?
Oh yes, I’ve been on that canal many times.
Amazed it has Steve Howe in the video even though he never played on this track
It was my late friend Peter Banks RIP
Peter Banks was amazing! (Flash!!)
Norman, So sorry for your loss. Peter will always be in the airwaves and in our lives. He was a super super gifted person. But you know that. Peace to Peter.
Norman Clark Miss you, Norm. Had a blast hosting you and treating you to Hippyfest. R.i.p.
I'm a huge Yes fan, and knowing that you were friends with the founding late guitarist. I'm so sorry for the loss of Peter Banks.
Always loved Chris's bass-line in this. An early gem...
Always loved the intro to this song, it's so pretty and dreamy. The video is great because you get to see Yes when they were so very young!
I didn't know these early music films existed for YES. I love them!

I played this for a young person who (1) never heard of progressive rock and (2) thinks rock and roll is ancient, yelling music. She was HIGHLY impressed!
I really love these vintage and exclusive videos shot in Belgium back then in 1970. Bill Bruford's peek a boo at 2:24 is my favorite.
It was always one of my favourite song of Yes.
The string arrangements are particularly brilliant.
4:33 And here we see Chris making his finest innovation. Not one on the bass guitar, no, but instead making what would become the DAB👌 👌👌 👌 💯 👌 👀 👀 👀 👌👌
On the dumb founded side here what is the dab term b4 my time

Put in a little Brylcreem. A little DAB will do ya.

The perfect rainy day song!
Bill looks like having fun, not only playing drums but also running ha-ha.
One of my favorite bands since 1971.

And people say prog rockers have no sense of humor.
And then Chris “I’m just gonna stand here”.
This is hilarious. Ahead of its time, years before MTV. The Bruford/Kaye period of Yes is one of my absolute favorites. It swings, grooves, and rocks in a way that the Wakeman/White period doesn't. I wish this incarnation had remained intact for a few more albums.

One of my all time favorites from yes , absolutely beautiful song
I totally agree...
You can thank Steve Stills for that.
@@markhunter8554I think a lot of viewers have no idea.
@@markhunter8554 th-cam.com/video/Vqo-cs4SZUs/w-d-xo.html
Jon and Steve at the end are just pure vibin.
Tremendous talent from the power Trio here: Jon, Chris and Bill. Really some impressive musicianship here!
Beautiful mesmerizing and poetic piece of music. Love early Yes...
R.I.P. Chris Squire
Cool video! Vintage cameras captured beautiful light and emotion.
I Agree... Seems more Real than anything Digital today... Much more Fluid.
Yeah, this clip seemed to have a decent budget behind it, even though Yes were not yet very successful sales-wise. It still looks so great because it was shot on film.

We hope you've enjoyed the zany antics of YES.....stay tuned for "The King Crimson Comedy Hour."
"Featuring Jamie Muir and his fur coat".
Featuring Jamie Muir and his fur coat
What an amazing band. And to think that this was only the beginning.
This is the Yes I knew before the Yes Album, CTTE, TFTO, etc. The Yes that kept playing in my mind as I went about my day, Everydays. And, Then, when I listened to the rest of it I realized we were so Close to the Edge, telling Tales from Topographic Oceans. WOW!!
Yes being chased by a nun is probably the highlight of my year.
The woman playing the nun is Chris Squire's ex wife Nikki Squire.
@@jenniferfelan694 Thanks for the info. The same woman in the Fragile booklet?
Time has no effect on masterworks. The 60s-70s have been the Renaissance of music and the wave is still flowing.
YES por siempre, lo máximo del rock progresivo
I've always loved Chris Squire's last bass riff at the very end of that song - so perfect and so tight!
5:25. Steve dreaming how to tour with the 25th iteration of YES 53 years later lol
This is hilarious. And I've always thought that it was The Buggles who brought Yes into the music videos.
Time and a Word is a classic album! I never thought of the sensation of running in the middle part, but now I'll never get that image out of my head.
Their music is habit forming!
@4:33 - Squire invented the Dab
I might just start dabbing now
My life is now changed forever
He was the best damn Bass player that's ever lived Rest in Peace Chris Squire.
And that obscure guitarist before Chris Squire invented the metal....
Even though Steve's taking part in these promos, the guitar work was Peter Banks's, and he can really tear it up. MAkes you wonder what would happen if Steve and Peter shared a stage.
In 1991 Steve refused to share the stage with banks. Sad.
@@leandroitapolis Yes, very! I would think that a genius like Steve would not be so insecure, but I guess I am wrong.
Thanks for clearing that up. The description makes it sound as though this was recorded exclusively for Belgian TV.
@@beatlesrgear spot on!
Yes. That's my one criticism of Steve too.
He doesn't like to collaborate.
The thumbnail never fails to make me smile. Godamit Chris
У меня идут мурашки ,и я плачу . Yes, спасибо 👏🏻
This song,,Jon Anderson,,is the Sweetest vocal in music history....almost eerie sweet
Jon is the man
Wow! I've been following Yes since the beginning and I have not seen that video till now. So of it's time and they all look SO Young! Makes me want to go back in time to my Youth before the world got Ugly. "Thank-You" for posting it. So enjoyable. Kinda of nice but sad to see Chris though May he Rest In Peace.
So lucky to have seen their “Going For The One” live gig at Wembley Arena in 1976 with Donovan opening up for them.
Saw the same lineup in Vancouver in Sept ‘77. Remarkable night.
@@hklinker Bingley Hall Stafford UK in 1977. Brilliant gig.
Donovan in support,WOW that’s some gig 😮
I was them in SF (1st time)
*saw
This music speaks to me on another level; a higher plane of consciousness; a place beyond space and time where only spirits dwell.
I saw this as a teen on television back in the 70's and have been wondering if I was having a false memory of it. Thanks for upping it!
❤️ the guys being adorable
this is adorable.
Seriously, I love Chris and Jon 💖
What a wonderful track this is! It amazes me that such a bunch of talented and creative individuals can find each other and produce such magic.
5:12 Bruford tokin' those dank leaves
BetrayedColt I don't know what he was doing with the boot, drinking out of it?
I LOVE JON ANDERSON'S VOICE ON THIS.
Honestly. After 1972, this Jon Anderson never came back. And I miss this one. Earthy. Bluesy. Jazzy.
When he started singing like he was forming a Cult, he lost me.
Look at the sad goodbyes
Everyday's are killing time
Sun coming up outside
No men are born this time
Saturday's child stays home
Nothing to say So long
Well, well, well,
Another day
Well, well, well,
Another day, day, day
Grocery store
Ten bucks
Just making change for plastic cherries
Up in a tree, jaybird
Looking at me, no word
Everyone looks
We can't see
We can't be ignored easily
Well, well, well,
Another day
Well, well, well,
Another day
Soft within the wayward things
Like ecstasy
The sound of trees
Most anything
What a baby sees
Beautiful face, alright
Many a place, outta sight
Old woman there with red shoes
One million balloons, all used
Drive over hills, forget your fear
Getting it out of second gear
Well, well, well,
Another day
Well, well, well,
Another day
Songwriters: STEPHEN STILLS
Alaways loved the dreamy parts of this song, it makes me think of London in the rain in 1970!
I love this !!!! THANK YOU my Muse Jon and all of Yes
I've never seen this before! As the biggest Yes fan in the Goth scene, I really appreciated the nun!
Yes music videos?! Yes!
Dylan Lundsten
Such a cool choice for a song to cover. I wonder if Stills has ever heard it. They made some very interesting choices on what to cover; along with some interesting arrangements. Stuff like "Every Little Thing", "America", "I See You", "No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed"
Wonder how many knew this is a Buffalo Springfield (Stills) song.
Yes did some deep album dives, picking some obscure songs from bands like the Springfield and The Byrds and totally making them their own.
Agree,a wonderful cover that I only recently discovered after decades of dipping in and out of YES. Now one of my all time favourites, for as you mentioned,it's arrangement etc. The strings and vocals especially, give it a beautifully dreamy feel. Do like Buffalo Springfied's original,but this is far superior, in my opinion.
love it.....the rampant nun chasing YES
Yes on the run, with a nun. Love it!!
Wish there were more music videos like this.
So dreamy. What else is there to say? Beautiful?
REST IN PEACE, CHRIS SQUIRE!
I've never been a great fan of this song, but this promo video (If we can call it that) gave a whole new meaning to it, specially this part 2:18 lol
Everyone I've shared this with has died from hysterical laughter!🤣
...saw yes countless times 70s 80s but this has always been favorite..
Thanks! Never knew this video existed. Maybe a parody of the Hard Day's Night intro and other scenes from a few years earlier where mobs of girls chased The Beatles through the streets.
This is such a seriously great album.
all i searched for was "yes" video clip of someone saying yes for editing and i was blown away by this
Beautiful cover of Stephen Still's Buffalo Springfield tune. Used to have this on VHS 30 years ago. Quite precious at the time! Still great!
Incredible. Everything is just right.
Peter Banks was a really decent player... You can even hear his influence in Howe's playing
Big time!
Howe is playing in this too
The bass, the bass. Great stuff. I'm going to have to revisit the band's first two LPs.
Oh my God this video is so Much fun! Especially with Bruford eating from a boot in the end xD
+Matten * drinking :-P
Been a fan since this album, but never saw this before. Hysterical! Treasure.
so eerie a cros song. a terrific classic. one you will never tire of.
Utterly sublime.
Beautiful Song great arrangement Love all the parts!
Oh my this song brings back memories. So melodic
Our beautiful Europe, when it was still beautiful.
It would be beautiful again someday
this is what gives life meaning
WOW that bassline, why am I only hearing this song now?
I would love some audio commentary from the band, the nun, everyone involved, really.
and yes another exciting tune with that percussive drummer, bill bru
I've always felt songs like this would feel appropriate in a coffee spot, like Starbucks; it just gives a chill atmosphere, like you're waking up or just chilling.
Даже в Росси восхищаются вашим творчеством!
one of the greatest compositions of all time...
A masterpiece! 👏👏👏
it's quarter past 5 in the morning and i'm sobbing, this is the funniest thing i've ever seen
Sobbing??? Like 😂?
I know most people wouldn't agree with me, but it would've been f*cking hilarious if Emerson, Lake and Palmer just showed up out of nowhere and joined the guys as they were running away from that nun. XD
