- What a perfect way to end our journey through "Going for the One". An astoundingly beautiful performance from a just a straight up god tier band. The tears came at the end for sure... absolute bliss. These guys just don't miss. And I think I might have called this show "Keys to Ascension" but its not lol sorry!

hard to believe, but back in the day, the music press were slating Yes, saying they were pretentious , pompous, irrelevant and overblown....how wrong they were
This is YES at The Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. The greatest band on this or any other planet❣️❣️❣️😎
They really are the best, Jeff. There is no more question. 😁
@@L33Reacts Welcome! You are now one of us!!!👍😎
@@L33ReactsAwaken is my favorite song in all music history. I call it the star song of hope. The crescendo near the end is the instrumental representation of the rapture of the church. That stargate event is the blessed hope of all Christians, and only Yes could do justice to that subject matter. And they did it big time. My first Yes concert was in 1977 for Going 4 The 1 tour. Amazing show.
To reiterate the greatest band that has graced this planet.
I can honestly say that Yes is my favorite band on the planet. I've been listening to them and going to their concerts for over 50 years and watching your reaction to this masterpiece brought me to tears, 😢 it's how their music just hits you to the core if you get it, and you definitely get it Lee, I'm so glad that you discovered them. Thanks Lee ✌️
Wow Joseph thank you so much... that really made me smile. I needed that, thank you. You can hold the tears back as long as you can but eventually they just force them out of you!! They are so special and I know that I was meant to discover them. They honestly have changed my life for the better.
Thank you for watching as always my friend 🙏
@@L33Reacts You bet, keep the music 🎼🎶 in your soul. All the best to you and yours.
I have seen YES maybe 30 or 35 times. I have cried at their shows before. That is how great they were.
Weep sweet tears of joy.
Yep, me too.
If they don’t move you to tears of joy, they’re having an off night. ❤😀
I know it's not orthodox to keep re-visiting the same track on reaction channels, but I agree with other commenters on here.
You should definitely check out Jon performing this number with the Icelandic group Todmobile.
They have a symphonic orchestra and choir backing.
It's remarkable
I have gotten too many requests for it not too do it :) I will give it like a month or so but I will come back to it, I promise.
@@L33Reacts Absolutely gotta do it man! It's an amazing rendition and the recording is mind-blowingly good.
It is really good
A definitive rendition
One of my favorite Yes lyrics: "Like the time I ran away, (and) turned around and you were standing close to me..."
OMG! It's one thing to listen to "Awaken" in the studio, and another to see it done live. I'm soo grateful that this shit is "down for Posterity" to be seen/heard by all. That last line..."like the time I ran away, turned around, and you were standing close to me"...means so much to me, and I know, so many others. Glad you listened to the studio version (with authentic pipe-organ) 1st, but...MAN aren't they magical to see live!? Well done Lee! Thanks.
This was one hell of a performance and it brought me to tears by the end. The studio is amazing but this took it to another level... absolute ecstasy at some points.
"At the end of the day, it's going to be okay." Great sentiment. Glad this reaction got through, especially since it's my favourite Yes song.
Very glad that some young people discover and love the bands of my time ! now at 67 years old i still enjoy and it reminds me so much times of the good old days ! Have a nice day ! 😎
First part of the song, Steve is playing an electric 12--string guitar. It's headless so it's less apparent, but that's what makes it sound so rich and full.
That voice man ... that voice... oh my God this is heaven for sure 😍❤
Such incredible prog musicians. 'Awaken' may be my favorite Yes piece. This has Rick Wakeman at his most musical best. Grand, sweeping work of art.
Now THIS is a Masterpiece
After seeing a dozen live Yes shows since 1973 (and several of Jon's solo performances), I've learned to watch Jon's hand and body movements during the song. He uncovers all the "odd" rhythms hidden within the music, which I would otherwise not have noticed. Especially in Awaken. Check it out. I trust many Yes fans may have noticed the same. With Peace and Love to all! (Michael)
I’ve watched this Live ‘Awaken’ video over and over and will never tire of it. No wonder it brings you to tears. I’ve been lucky enough to have ‘Yes’ be a part of my life, since 1970, aged 14. Magical, goosebumps all the way. Saw Jon live this July just gone, (2023), in London and he still sounds as incredible as ever. He was age 78 at that Show. Sensational. 🎶❤️🎶
How many times, did we Purge during a YES SHOW ?❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for appreciating them, the way you do. Yes, has always brought Joy to life.❤
Thank you for the kind words carole... this band is pure magic. I love them so much 💓
This song is so beautiful it makes me😢😢😢😢😢 with joy😊😊😊
What a great performance! Perfect way to end GFTO. Thank you!
Thank you Jim! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm sad GTFO is over! 😩
❤I can't say anything!!! I was crying with you with my hands raised to the sky as if I was being lifted up to the Heavens!!! I am happily and joyously A MESS!!! 😂😂😊😂😂😊😅 A MESS!!! I love you!!! Take the Ecstasy of Yes with you in your mind and soul!!! And feel the love ❤
Beautiful stuff Lee, never be embarrassed shedding a tear when it comes to music that touches your soul as Awaken always does. Saw this tour in Sydney in 2003 after waiting 30 years for them to come down under again. It was well worth the wait & for me this was the highlight of the show. We're so lucky to have their glorious music in our lives, agree they are so very special. Recommend you check out the live video clip of "The gates of delirium" from the Symphonic live DVD with orchestra, it is phenomenal!! All the best.
Thanks for the kind words man I appreciate it so much. This song just pulls on the soul strings. In so many ways. I wish I could have seen it live. 😕 but alas.
The power or YES is so incredible
My very good friend from high school passed away 8 years ago. He was a huge YES fan. We went to many shows together over the years, etc. He came to me in a dream a couple of days after he passed, and in that dream, he put his arm around my shoulder, looked at me, smiled and said, "it's all going to be ok." That's the short version of course, but the dream was so real. That's what this music does for me. YES music has been what I like to listen to in the best of times and also in the worst of times. It always makes me feel better...no matter what. Glad you have discovered them...I hope they can do the same for you! Peace brother...😊
Awaken" - Jon Anderson & Todmobile 2013 version is incredible also.
That last little run by Steve at the very end gets me every single time.
are you catching the main thing in the song... the circle of 5ths chord progression? the full circle. through all keys. it's like nothing else. also if you haven't already I do recommend checking out the studio recording... the real pipe organ is impossible to replicate. thanks for doing this one.
God I wishI I could read and understand music enough to understand what you mean!
❤❤❤❤❤ Its sacred music. it's why it shoots straight through our natural ♥ hearts
Awaken. My favorite song in all music history that I call the star song of hope. The blessed hope for the coming stargate event that some religious folks refer to as the rapture of the Church, which is represented after the lyric "And as we look forever closer, shall we now bid farewell? Farewell!"
Best band, ever. Period.
I watched this again here. I got goosebumps again. I cried again. It’s beautiful Lee! Like your reactions!! ☮️❤️
Thank you Nancy I appreciate you so much 🙏 this music was so special. It brings tears to my eyes every time
Without YES, we'd have never have known what music can truly be! YES I was there Live again & again dreading the day when it would eventually come to a close. And it's been an unbelievable 19 years since this perfect incarnation. Holy fk! Luckily I was blessed once again to see Jon perform it again with The Geek Band (YES excellent cover band) for probably the last time in May. The actual Symphonic Tour and undoubtedly Jon performing AWAKEN Live with Todmobile Orchestra with Choir is a must. Maybe one of his most uniquely beautiful renditions ever!
teenage years with Yes, heavy influence as a drummer and musician... hard to describe
Definitely Alan playing on this live version.
Wasn't there but saw them in '79 (on acid) when they did this. There's a great recording of it on here "tourmato". There's a medley that's one of my favorite live moments from them.
Cool story: 2 fav bands, Yes and blue Oyster Cult. Richie Castellano, a newer BOC member also has a band called "Band Geeks" Jon Anderson heard them cover Close to the edge and asked them to be his band for this summers tour. I'm gonna travel to see them on July 30th, 2024. so cool
I've seen Yes once. They didn't perform Awaken but they did do And You And I. If they'd done Awaken, I think I would still be there in the venue, as a puddle on the floor.
Thank you. Wasn't there (as you asked who was). Did see the original GFTO tour with the return of Rick Wakeman (one of many) where they also revisited CTTE (my fav tune) with Wakeman's return. That show stuck with me as possibly my fav concert memory besides my first one with Pat Moraz during Relayer/Solos era. ...peace
YES, Yes was a mood ‼️‼️
Love your insights, and to clap at the end, as we all do, welcome to our club. One additional word - todmobile.+ Jon Anderson. Ps Steve Howe is playing a fender pedal Steel guitar as well as his fender telecaster 😉
I remember this tour!
Nice to watch this again! Yes is Usually Spot on with their songs…this concert you hear them all improvise in bits and sounds! Love it! It felt like you are part of a special presentation!!❤
Awaken is one of my Favs(Jon’s too)!!❤❤❤❤
thanks again 🌻
Rick the MASTER
This song is gonna be played at my funeral........I've seen them play this song live in both the 1970s and 2000s. I can tell you it is a religious experience.....
I wish I could have seen this live so much... this and CTTE. Would have been complete ecstasy more then likely Lol
Yes
❤
Great reaction! I think the fragmentation in spiritual life we see today, is the result of many factors. One thing is true for me, however, an awakening is being able to see truth from bullshit, whether it's in the way a person writes or talks. If you know your own truth, who you are, then you can see others who are "true" to themselves as well, along with those who hide their intentions with lies, big and small. The truth does not "covet", whether this be material or relational. This such a great song to address all the nonsense going on. Amazing that it's from 1977, when I was 19. Lol Cheers!
Kudos young brother,it’s refreshing to see you show your emotions and love of the great music from yesterday. Keep your head up you have what it takes to thrive . It is tough out there but I see you finding your way.
Somewhat new to Yes... this does feel spiritually infused, etheric, with even a struggle throughout.
This is an experience!
Beautiful reaction video bro, I teared up at the end.
Heck YES! Love it!
Yes Alan White RIP
That is Keys to Ascencion not Synphonic Live. Tom Brislin did the Keys in Synphonic Live. Correction this is Live at Montreux 2003.
It’s o k Lee , we still cry every time
Yep, Alan White. R.I.P
It's amazing how much this sounds like the studio version. Pretty hard to do with music this complex. It such a spiritual song too. Another spiritual one is "In the Presence of" Jon says The Divine) here's a good live version: th-cam.com/video/X_KDXoMB5wg/w-d-xo.html
Simply put for me, this is the level of music that separates the men from the boys.
I totally agree bro... this is the real deal right here.
Me!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
This sounds better than the original dude 👍😁🙏
Next time you're feeling down checkout "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.
Pinacle of prog😮😢
It's a moog model D for Rick. Steve plays the fender pedal steel guitar. A bit of criticism. You speak how angelic they sound, while cursing through the whole song. Just doesn't fit imop. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing.
Its a mounted old Fender lap steel guitar, not a pedal steel.
Named for when they first came out, players played them on their lap.
Like this th-cam.com/video/HOv_g0BmoRA/w-d-xo.html
Steve playing Soon
Dude.. Guitarist is Steve Howe not Chris Squire
Definitely the ultimate version of "Awaken" is here : th-cam.com/video/d_Va3e_52TE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kuCOvzfFflSzuMl8
YES, that’s Alan!
Ok good I'm glad I got that right at least... thanks Barry 😊
GFTO was 1977.
What an album... just like Tales, I am sad it's over! This was Yes firing on all cylinders. It's like fragile and CTTE had a baby.
Lee it’s funny the YES song I been recommending “That, That Is” was new material from 1996; The Keys to The Acensenion Album , all YES songs are fabulous, but even in the late 90’s The Ladder album from 1999, Magnification is an unbelievable album from the 2001 There’s never been a group of musicians with this must talent & while some want the same old YES when in truth YES was always changing to, 90215, AWBH, The Big Generator, UNION & The Open Your Eyes Album we’re always YES pushing the YES’s musical boundaries, YES TRULY IS THE BEST!!! I saw YES IN CONCERT From 1972 Close To TheEdge in New Orleans, THE TALES at LSU ASSEMBLY CENTER IN BATON ROUGE, to GFTO back in New Orleans in 1977, my last YES Concert in New Orleans was the 90125 show & after that I saw YES at many different venues in the Atlanta, Tennessee region about 15 different shows, plus numerous solo shows of Jon’s, Rick & Steve . And of the 20-25 shows I’ve actually witness there wasn’t a bad one in the bunch, YES were the consummate professionals stars who always had a theme of Goodness, Love & Salvation you have people say Jon wrote sounds for the sound of the words, maybe a very little but all YES had a theme of Salivation. & Hope.
RIP Mr. Peter Banks, Mr Christopher Squire, & Mr. Alan White, I THANK GOD THAT I WAS ALIVE DURING THE GREATNESS OF YES.
