I was born in 1958 and I feel so damn lucky and blessed to have grown up with all these great bands... I can't even put into words how grateful I am. So I'll say it here, thanks to all those guys, geniuses every one be it Yes, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Stones, Who, U2...god damn it's a long list, too long for this place. I'll never take this amazing music laden gift of a lifetime for granted and will go to my grave thanking my lucky stars each and every day for all that these artists have given us.
I saw Yes at a Warehouse several times and I must say that it was Phenomenal, the real show was of course Wakeman, but the Bass player was superb, the Guitar was very very very good, the Drummer was impending on the I the non other than the one who was in Heaven, he put on a show, well rambling, jűs sāyīn !😎✌😎!
I mean... people constantly say how much Danny Carey lifted from Bruford's style lmao. I can't listen to Tool a ton (brings back bad memories) but I've practiced a lot of Bruford's parts and Tool seems to be much easier to play after doing so
Well I'm sure you are aware of John Anderson, Chris Squire, and you don't have to be in a Bill Bruford in the other God on KEYBOARD AND THE SUCH; Rick WAKEMAN Steve HOWE I'm OBMF
I saw this tour in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Their musicianship was a real treat to experience. I sat about 40 feet away from the stage and it only cost $21 per ticket.
They are are superhuman maestros, but Wakeman is the virtuoso who holds all their greatest albums together. “Going for the One” is Wakeman’s masterpiece. The organ and choral arrangements blow that album into the stratosphere.
Incredible! Bruford has played with some of the best. I've seen him with Yes, Genesis, and one of my favorite concerts... KingCrimson for Discipline in '80,'81? Ardrian Belew, Rober Fripp, Tony Levin and Bruford...crap they were GREAT!
I'm amazed that 2 drummers, 2 keyboards, 2 guitars can be so tight, sounding like a single unit, with such crazy, precise rhythms... you can even tell just by their loose appearance that they were all in the zone.

You can good see, how they look at each other to get that precision.
Both era of Yes reunited = frightening display of musicality. my mind is simply blown. this is the most beautiful version of Heart of the Sunrise. even better than the original studio version.
Found this song from a movie called Buffalo 66'. I wanted to see if Yes sounded as good live and I'm completely blown away with how great this is. They were truly a band ahead of their time and I wish more people my age respected true artisty.
The first 3-4 minutes of this song is one of my favorite sections of prog, ever. And this performance absolutely knocks it out of the park. So damn good.
Had front row seats and backstage passes for this tour at the Garden. One of the highlights of my life. Thanks WNEW-FM. Your memory lives on. Special shout out to Dave Herman for choosing my name as the grand prize winner...
I just don't see anything like this being created today. I'm glad I got to witness it first hand at the garden in ny and then again at Roosevelt stadium in jersey city. what a ride thanks for the memories.
I was in my late 19 yrs (now 64) and introduced by a friend to Yes (thanks Rob). First album I heard was ‘Tales from Topographic Oceans’. Immediate an addict to the Yes music. Now 40 or more years later I still love it. It never got bored. Still baffled by the drawings of Roger Dean as well.
Thank you for this, this is sweetest in a long time. I remember wanting to yell "marry me Chris" for his genius & a Hendrix National anthem thing on bass. Masters 🌟
Heh . . . they didn't get along EVER. It must have been one of the most acrimonious bands ever to have existed. You can see that just from their insane personnel changes.
Wakeman has said that they all mostly got along on this tour. Squire was always a very self-involved person - it's the main reason Bruford left - and Howe has never quite gotten over the fact that Rabin wrote and played on YES' most successful song, which of course eclipsed Howe's own _Roundabout,_ the song which previously held that honor. And when players of that caliber get together, squabbles are unavoidable. But the music is what drew them all together, so whenever they were on stage it was time for them to reap the reward of all the time they spent having friction with each other. Led Zep was actually an oddity, in that they were a great band full of great musicians who all got along just fine with each other. Rush was another such oddity. Most of the super-legendary bands, by the time their first albums had come out, had that friction with each other.
@@a2ndopynyn Since Steve wrote all the music except for OLH, I don’t think he was too concerned about Trevor. Steve played these songs the way they were suppose to be played. Without Steve Howe there would be no Trevor Rabin
@@a2ndopynynLed Zeppelin also all had dirt on each other whereas no one in Yes ever did anything seriously heinous. Can't kick anyone out of the band because they'll spill everything lol
Saw this tour in Denver A co worker in the biz worked on the McNichols arena crew and got a couple passes. This was in the round with a revolving stage. Sat second section on floor which was just far enough to enjoy the full light show and still close enough to see them really take to the moments . What a hoot to see Tony Kaye and Trevor Rabin along with Bruford and the rest of the boys play these tracks so well, together !
Bill........ he is so distinguishable from any other drummer on the planet. What a treasure trove of compositions. When they went into the Pop world, I lost interest; but their early works up to Topo are masterpieces. Magnificent!!!!!! RIP Chris
I can remember seeing them do this in Philly in the 70s. The end brought tears to my eyes! I dont understand how music can evoke so much emotion, especially when I have no clue what the words mean!
Mind Blown, everytime I watch this, I notice, more nuances, that I never realized were there... Simply incredible..... The level of skill of each player on that stage, is off the charts.... Amazing...
I've seen so many lives shows but nobody sounds as good as YES live it's as close to studio music as you will ever hear. YESSONGS is a prime example you feel like you're there with them
I grew up with a heavy DAILY dose of their perfect musicianship in the 70's and in a lot of ways, was the reason I started drumming (along with ELP and Rush). This concert in the 90's and the stuff that's posted from their 2001 concerts in Amsterdam are truly AMAZING. However, what I've seen on TH-cam from a March, 2011 show was really disheartening. I just think it's better to remember days gone by and bask in what was 'the perfect musical storm'. God bless all the original members.
I saw Yes many times throughout the years starting in 1972. I would have seen them in 1971 on a bill with ELP but was too embarrassed to ask my friends for the $4 ticket price. Can you imagine how many times I've kicked myself over that? I saw this show also in Costa Mesa, CA. One of the best!
Saw YES play one day (actually three times) so satisfied I saw them play but never really realized that the UNION tour was a union of all members in one show. Amazing...
Gotta love Wakeman - man is as much a virtuoso on keys and Chris and Steve are on their instruments. Being classically trained definitely has many advantages. Jon is a phenomenon all of his own. Love YES Saw multiple x since late 70's.
Wonderful to see Steve and Rabin on stage together. I wonder if they got along. I heard there may have been some acrimony but who knows for sure? We know Steve eventually got control of the band and didn't call Jon back.
2 guitars, 2 drums, 2 keyboards, 1 bass
RIP Mr Squire
Union of the old members with the new...
and Jon Anderson
...and the bass definitely wins!
Very Very quaintly put!!! :)
Lol

Well said! Me too--and we get the bonus of recordings!! Peace !
It will follow us forever….even greet us in the heavenly realms (which was the real influence for yes)
You are one year younger than me, and I totally agree with your post.

I was born in 54, I agree 1000%
There will never be another Yes.
Yes.
As in, I agree.
There've been two or three.
Check out the Geeks with Jon Anderson going on tour in 2025 the closest thing to Yes you’ll ever hear great to see the music continuing
Jon Anderson has one of THE best voices in Rock. PERIOD.
💯💢💥💫👍👍👍
Like... how do you even start trying to write a song like this and then flawlessly play it live??
“How do you even start trying to write a song like this and then flawlessly play it live??”
Very succinct Enrico
I have thought this often-
The Force...of Course!
A: Genius
From 1971 album
Eternal question 😊
The music of Yes is just as beautiful in 2024 as it was in the ‘70’s. ❤
opino lo mismo
Bruford is a real beast in this. His timing and presicion is easily one of the best ive ever heard, along with Neil Peart and Danny Carey.
I mean... people constantly say how much Danny Carey lifted from Bruford's style lmao. I can't listen to Tool a ton (brings back bad memories) but I've practiced a lot of Bruford's parts and Tool seems to be much easier to play after doing so
Phil Collins....
Just don’t care for all those electronic drum effects though
@@Oh_I_Will Agreed… acoustic all the way! But this was the way of the late 80s and early 90s.
He doesn't get enough credit.
Can't put into words how much i love this band.
Thinking persons Rock....🤔😁
My favorite band
Totally agree...there are no words to describe my level of appreciation of this phenomenon of music. YES is a gift to the ages!!!
Well I'm sure you are aware of John Anderson, Chris Squire, and you don't have to be in a Bill Bruford in the other God on KEYBOARD AND THE SUCH;
Rick WAKEMAN Steve HOWE I'm OBMF
This is not music, it is art! I have been enjoying this song for over 40 years now.
But it's still music...
Truly
👍👍👍
Bill and Chris back at it. That’s what makes this special.
This is pure perfection!!
Squire is a god on bass. Got me into the instrument, love him to death. RIP.
Chris and Jack Casady!
And let's not forget Geddy Lee, and Tony Levin.
g o d
This song is a celestial trip, Fragile is a mind blowing record. God bless Yes
Oh he'll yeah.. I'd smoke a fatties, and turn up the volume... the best high ever
Hell yeah...
I remember cranking this song in the my parents basement in the 70's and knocking crap off the walls. Good memories 🙂
Congratulations
RIP Mr Squire, my favorite Yes song
+Matt LeDonne Don't you remember? That was a million miles away.
What song is that?
I saw this tour in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Their musicianship was a real treat to experience. I sat about 40 feet away from the stage and it only cost $21 per ticket.
I love how Wakeman applauds at the end of the song. He knew it was a smokin' performance.
They are are superhuman maestros, but Wakeman is the virtuoso who holds all their greatest albums together. “Going for the One” is Wakeman’s masterpiece. The organ and choral arrangements blow that album into the stratosphere.
Yes... the soundtrack of my youth and backbeat of my life! What a band! What a song! What a performance!
parents took me to see this for my 10th bday present. Best thing they ever did for me :D
100 years from now, I'm certain that they're going to look back on this band with complete astonishment. No rock band is ever going to top this.
Early Genesis already did...perhaps a tie
This, rush, and floyd is all i need. Throw abacab and Duke by genesis and some good weed im done
I completely agree. I love all the others but this is just something else. I can picture aliens listening to this and being very interested.
@@nigelfarage4119 Yeah. No. Sorry. Not even close in my opinion.
@@DrumBass98 Yeah no Yeah no Yeah no
God. Bill Bruford should have never left. His drum parts were epic. Yes Album, Fragile, Close To The Edge....wow!!
Bruford, Squire, Howe, Anderson and Wakeman. Quite possibly the best lineup of anything, ever.
@@as7river Deep Purple MK 2.
No history should’ve went as it has because Alan White gave us brilliant drum parts on Tales and Relayer and GFTO.
But Alan White was his equal, if that makes any real sense - both = great
King Crimson: Then what about us?
Trippy memories of driving to Ca from NY on cassette.
You had a bootleg copy of this gig on cassette….awesome
Can't believe I've forgotten Yes....
Jon gave his all there. Brilliant.
To see Trevor and Steve up there together is freakin fantastic
I listen and I'm 16... again. ♡
I was 16 too 1972
I'm 15 now :D, kinda jealous tbh...
They were perhaps the most flawless live band ever!
Chris Squire was a bass god. I cried when he died.
Me too 😢😢😢
Incredible! Bruford has played with some of the best. I've seen him with Yes, Genesis, and one of my favorite concerts... KingCrimson for Discipline in '80,'81?
Ardrian Belew, Rober Fripp, Tony Levin and Bruford...crap they were GREAT!
Tony Levin is still making new music to this day... absolute fucking beast. LTE3 is scheduled to release this March!
Yeah me too ... Crimson "Discipline" at one of my go-to spots in SF back in the day ... "The Old Waldorf".
Good thing this was recorded. Otherwise, future generations would not believe such a combination of virtuosity was humanly possible!
This was their best line up, best time and their finest hour.
Hmm, not if you saw them in the early 70s it wasn’t.
I'm amazed that 2 drummers, 2 keyboards, 2 guitars can be so tight, sounding like a single unit, with such crazy, precise rhythms... you can even tell just by their loose appearance that they were all in the zone.
You can good see, how they look at each other to get that precision.
Both era of Yes reunited = frightening display of musicality. my mind is simply blown. this is the most beautiful version of Heart of the Sunrise. even better than the original studio version.
Exactly. Lotta ego up there. The Union Disa----- Tour!
@@larryhyde7048 the union tour was great the union Album was a mess
How on earth did they remember it all? It doesn't get any better.
The most proficient instrumentalists in rock!
Found this song from a movie called Buffalo 66'. I wanted to see if Yes sounded as good live and I'm completely blown away with how great this is. They were truly a band ahead of their time and I wish more people my age respected true artisty.
Great flick. Vincent Gallo was a huge Yes fan and said Squire was his favorite bassist. Gallo has a solo album as well that I highly recommend.
@@mattbrodeur4671 big King Crimson fan as well
Ah, the days when true artistry/musicianship was appreciated by the masses
No one in rock could touch this level of musicianship
The first 3-4 minutes of this song is one of my favorite sections of prog, ever. And this performance absolutely knocks it out of the park. So damn good.
look at Trevor smiling knowing he's with the greatest band of all time!
One of the best bands EVER!!! Technically superior in composition and performance. Showmanship now seldom seen. One of a kind... Bravo!!!
Had front row seats and backstage passes for this tour at the Garden. One of the highlights of my life. Thanks WNEW-FM. Your memory lives on. Special shout out to Dave Herman for choosing my name as the grand prize winner...

Chris Squire.. one of the BEST bass guitar players... ever!!
RIP friend
All of these guys are brilliant, but Anderson really makes this song tops.
The best song ever written. My swansong.saw it performed in the round nec Birmingham. My life was complete that night.
The way this song stops on a dime...CHILLS
Musicianship at its finest. A lost art.
Thank you for this, this is sweetest in a long time. I remember wanting to yell "marry me Chris" for his genius & a Hendrix National anthem thing on bass. Masters 🌟
This really is one of the greatest musical performances I’ve ever seen. Pure gold.
On ne pourra jamais faire plus beau que YES
I heard these guys didn't get along on this tour. This performance is amazing. Really historic.

Please, do tell us, what "dirt" they had?
The absolute state.
Love all of it, but Steve Howe & Trevor Rabin are both so good.
Like both keyboarders.
You are kidding me, that was so ridiculously AWESOME!!!
My Lord, Jon Anderson's voice is incredible! ❤❤❤❤
Bill Bruford! My god!!!
RIP Chris you are missed so much
Hands down top bass player..what a legion of musicians and lead singer no one like him!top notch, Yes cant be topped !
Grandioso que seria del rock sinfónico sin estos grandes nadaaa gracias
The greatest version of an absolute Yes Masterpiece!!
Wow, what a version. Proof this will be eternal.
This song without Bruford had always felt off (and all Yes albums with him on drums), so this version is my favorite live version!
couldn't agree less
I love Bills playing but he was kind of a #### for quitting YES three days before the tour......ALAN saved the day and has proved himself.............
@Satanic Panic Fun and Games exactly….but at the same time, I always liked the ever changing lineup up until Jon leaving….
Damn! I'll never, never tire of listening to this performance!!!
never gets old..just like fine wine...some of today's musicians can learn from these masters
SIMPLESMENTE ESPETACULAR!!!! CHRIS SQUIRE RIP,
I can listen to this all day.
YES
a true supergroup the world will never see the like again
I sure hope you are wrong
That soundboard person is really good. Fast. And cares.
These are some of the coolest humans ever to walk the earth. 1959
I absolutely prefer one of these lineups to the other, but watching them together was magical.
Steve Howe totally intrigues me. He's one fabulous guitarist, mystical and magical ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Völlig überschätzt😢😢😢

THE MASTERS OF PROG ROCK.
BEST ROCK GROUP IN HISTORY
EVANGELIST ROGER MANSOUR
FORMER LESLIE WEST DRUMMER
Maybe, just maybe the best art prog rock band ever!!
one of my favourite Yes songs too
I've never seen this version.....it Is one of my favorite Yes ditties..... man Everyone shines here! Just the best!
Impossibly brilliant . Yes never played better than this , and they knew it . The audience knew it too
this is without a doubt my fave Yes song ever best musicians ever.
Uma banda que só reuniu músicos feras!
There's no music like that anymore 😢😢
YES is the greatest rock group but ONLY with the voice of Jon Anderson
Exactly, the guy they have now is a cheap replacement 😢😢
HOLY CRAP WHAT AN INTRO!!
What a masterpiece...
Mind Blown, everytime I watch this, I notice, more nuances, that I never realized were there...
Simply incredible.....
The level of skill of each player on that stage, is off the charts.... Amazing...
