I met Steve Howe in a guitar shop in Denmark street in 1994. He was buying strings. I said Hi and he started talking about getting a guitar repaired - he asked if I knew Turn of the Century and I said "of course" and told me it was the guitar he used on it. He then said "cheerio" and got into a Landrover Discovery driven by a minder and sped off up Charing Cross Rd at great speed. I was alone and thought no one is going to believe this. A true gent.
I’ve met a couple musicians while at shows as they just wandered amongst the crowd. Carlos Santana and Michael Hedges. So I absolutely believe your story.
I don't think Squire is stoned, I think he just has that very slow way of talking. :D Fish out of Water is one of my favorite albums, especially as a bass player. Squire is one of the greatest bassists of all time, no question.
They did quite a lot of the old smoking of pot back in the day! I am under the impression that it was only when not working though! They were disciplined in that way!
In the early 1970's a colleague in the office was a Yes fan. I remember him bringing the latest LP into the office & we all looked at the art work with amazement. Happy days.
The interviewer is Bob Harris, regular presenter of The Old Grey Whistle Test, also fondly known as "Whispering Bob" because of his soft voice - nobody did it quite like him. He was a contemporary of John Peel and responsible for airing a lot of the less mainstream or up and coming bands. I guess their place has been taken these days by Jools Holland. I remember watching Steve Howe on this programme in the seventies when I fancied myself as a classical/ prog rock guitarist. We can all dream!
Steve Howe is the best guitarist to walk the planet, He says..."I dont pay attention to what key the music is...I just have fun. If Chris and Jon like it, they lay it down...If they dont, I just try something else."
Steves playing thru the 70s was unlike anybody else. From the yes album to Drama he was out of this world, then his powers waned. Untouchable in his time though.
my first yes show was in the round in 1978, it was f'n amazing...I was only 15, I can remember hearing the ad on the radio the very afternoon on the show and I couldn't believe I was going to see those guys...
I love you for postng this, im 49 and i think you can hold up any music from the sixties and seventies to todays sad manufactured/selfobsessed music and think, how lucky i was to be in the time of Great bands like Yes,.,.,.,.,
Unbelievable to think that the 5 years before that they did The Yes Album, Fragile, Close To The Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans and Relayer. All classics and about 5 careers worth of albums bands would kill for. The fact they were about to do Going For The One is the icing on the cake. WTF I'll even add in Tormato as love that album.
if you listen to other interviews chris gave, even decades later, it's pretty obvious that chris just has that slow, measured manner of talking and isn't stoned at all. he's rather like steve winwood that way--the kind of guy who prefers to let the music speak for itself. what a fascinating interview for a great album! miss you always, chris.
+rockisheaven He spoke slowly, but thought quickly. Chris Squire, like his fellow Yes bandmates and so many other musicians of that era, were very talented men given about as much artistic freedom as could be afforded by their record labels. Wish I'd been around to experience it, though I did get to see Chris Squire play live once though; the sound he conjured from his bass was astonishingly powerful.
Yeah he's baked alright LOL. Great bassist. It was so much more interesting it seems, when the guys could go on and on about " we had a break in touring, and that is when I conceived my album, and defined the arrangements etc etc", and people actually cared. I do have to say that the Howe piece was pretty bad. How many times was that thing supposed to end?
I am very grateful that you took the time to share this wonderful post. This discussion shows how serious the BBC took fans of these great musicians. Bob Harris has contributed to a valuable archive of TV presentation which preserve the creative thinking that went into making this music. It was a good time to be a music fan. Thanks .
That's always great to hear from the MASTERS , talking 'bout their creation scene They are the best. I listen, at least, one song by YES everyday Of course , I try to play some of them Those moments are funny.. Playing YES is a great lesson for any instrumentist and mainly for a good vocalist. Good luck and have fun on YES.
they were both so gifted around that time and made some amazing music. Perhapd a little self indulgent at times but, more often than not .musical genius's And its taken me about 46 years to fully appreciate some of it.
Great quality uploads! Thanks Dreamer3355. It's so sad that an Anderson/Squire/Howe/Bruford/Moraz lineup of Yes never happened; it would have knocked every other incarnation into a cocked hat.
Two of the very best musicians that I've had the pleasure to hear and see play. Chris Squire is one of those bass players (like Jack Bruce) that I will actually focus on during shows. That is, until Mr. Howe takes us one of his journeys...
As a 56 yr old YES fan, I still love YES in all its previous incarnations up to the current "Fly From Here" and Jon Anderson's recent solo work too. Plus "Squackett" too! Thanks for posting this...cool!
Absolutely love Yes…have many of their cds…I believe everything they put out through Relayer..I also have Chris’ solo album Fish out of water…damn good album, I just listened to it in my car just couple weeks ago…greatly saddened me when he passed away few years ago…one of the greatest bassists of all time, every single member of Yes such talented musicians including line ups that didn’t include Wakeman and Bruford..the line up that includes those two is the best/classic imo
Just amazing musicians RIP Chris. An inspiration to so many and gone way too soon. This was a cool video. Too bad the Fish Out of Water video pieces were not in it. Great stuff.
rip Chris Squier ~ Christopher "Chris" Russell Edward Squire was an English musician, songwriter and singer, best known as the bass guitarist and backing vocalist for the progressive rock band Yes. Wikipedia Born: March 4, 1948 (age 67), London, United Kingdom Died: June 28, 2015 Music groups: Yes (Since 1968), The Syn, XYZ, Cinema Spouse: Scotland Squire (m. 2003), Melissa Morgan (m. 1993-2004), Nikki Squire (m. 1972-1987)
Just thought you should be informed that Chris's passing is officially recorded on 27th June 2015, perhaps you just made a typing error, happens to the best of us! Love and respect for Chris always , he will be grately missed and always remembered.
Patrick Moraz is a great great keyboard player I don´t know why they think of him like he was beginner. there`s no place for comparations with Wakeman I think both are great players
Coye and Fish, I agree with you. Taking nothing away from Keith, I like him, this is mind boggling. I am a massive Steve fan and he deserves so much more recognition. He is on of the greatest musicians gracing this world. For me he is the maestro!
Love this! YES is my favorite band ever... I met Chris in 1991. Such a class act, as all the YES-men are... And cover artist Roger Dean too, who kindly showed this visitor his art studio.
Chris AIN'T stoned! Yes didn't really do that stuff! He's just smokin' a regular cig! (And it's NOT a 'jazz cigarette', either! ) lol Thanks, Dreamer3355 for this upload! RIP Chris Squire - the world lost a maestro... 😔
Amazing ! Thank you so much for sharing this rare interview in excellent video quality ! The whole part would have derserved to be on the Deluxe edition of Fish out of Water, which is one of my favourite record of all the time ! And I love Chris' look (hair and clothes) at the time :-D, it's nice to see him !
I have seen his band over a dozen times in my life and never amazes me on how tight they still are. John Anderson was the first to sort of loose his voice but last time was in July 2002 at the Paolo Soleri Amphitheater Santa Fe, NM with Rick Wakeman, was with a fitting lightning storm while the concert was going on at night. Steve was understandably fussing about his rack gear when it started to rain, but after it stopped the band came back on and just continued the show.
Elvis, Keith, Lemmy - sure ......but to my mind Chris is the true king of rock'n'roll coolness! Love his style during this era. Thank you very much for uploading this superb little gem!
I've seen YES several times. Squier & Howe are virtuoso musicians. Chris, Steve and Bob look baked... good for them. You can just tell there speech and mannerisms glassy eyes and grins after all this was the mid-70s. Look at some of the interviews much later on they're totally different Howe is a grumpy old man now. RIP Chris
i know what you mean. i remember in the 80's it was frustrating looking at guitar magazines and seeing Angus Young getting best rock guitarist for several years and people like Steve Howe and Alex Lifeson weren't recognized. don't get me wrong...Angus is good in his own right, though i'm not a huge AC/DC fan, but i really think the others should've gotten more credit and recognition than they did. i'm speaking more from a musicianship standpoint because i'm a musician myself.
Greg Woodie You just listed my top two Lifeson and Howe. I've said the same thing. So I realized the list was bullshit which is why I'm glad Alex mocked it with the "blah blah blah" thing.
***** anyone with ears was influenced by Joni...perhaps THE most influential melodic/lyrical of the late 20th. Simon and Dylan, both great, but Joni did things beyond either of them that are far reaching in scope. Anyway, just another blowhard opinion. Too bad Squire didn't record more solo LPs, love his stuff so much. YES and Squire will grow in stature as the years go by, mark these words.
Ken Ray Wilemon You're preaching to the choir, kind sir, & Yes is my go-to church :) & Bobby Z isn't a pale shadow of the genius that is the real lady of the canyon, imho. I just thought it was so cool he credited her. Love & fates guide her days. I hear she's talking again. Yes, love Chris. Love Jon. I have - had every single. Alas it went up in smoke. Thank fates I remain, & so appreciate finding stuff on youtube. So many really talented artists singing, learning, sharing their influence, & those angels documenting the past, & putting stunning visuals to favored treasures. See, I listen & life is a blessing, yes?
***** YES! and agreed on R.Z. Joni may yet go down as the only singer-songwriter from this era even remembered in 500 years, but there I go again, preachin'.
Oh go on... really, it's cool reading you whilst listening. I hope Joan Baez may yet grace some collective memory. She's certainly imprinted in my DNA! If the machine still grinds, it'll be Bobby D ...stealing the spotlight, & Joan a footnote. & I can see Robert Hunter's songs will be lovingly played, even if no one knows his name ~ long after the Dead
That's a great indorsement, but Page and Howe were completely different players, apples to oranges where did you read or hear. Are you sure or just made that up because those are your two favorite guitarist? They're mine too!
You're right, Billy, Page and Howe are so drastically different it is illogical to compare them in a "who better" contest. I love them both very much. Not very many guitarists can sit on thrones next theirs!
Steve thinks his shit dont stink. I was excited to meet him if it wasn’t for little Yesfreaks that bought all their 70s records they wouldn’t be touring gotta pay mortgage on those giant English castles they own
Great to see "Beginnings" played live, in a slightly different version than the studio one, as Patrick plays all the orchestral parts on the harpsichord.
Close your eyes and listen. Looks are God given, and so is the gift of being the best guitar player alive. Take a good look at yourself, i bet you have no room to judge as you probably didn't pioneer a genre of music that changed and moved music to a level that Steve Howe did. Just sayin.....
Anybody else notice how "Squire-like" the bass playing on "Break Away From It All" sounds? Apparently Steve played bass on that track. So either Steve got really good at playing bass like Chris or Chris played on it and didn't get credit for it, or didn't want the credit. Either way, it sounds like Chris's style.
I met Steve Howe in a guitar shop in Denmark street in 1994. He was buying strings. I said Hi and he started talking about getting a guitar repaired - he asked if I knew Turn of the Century and I said "of course" and told me it was the guitar he used on it. He then said "cheerio" and got into a Landrover Discovery driven by a minder and sped off up Charing Cross Rd at great speed. I was alone and thought no one is going to believe this. A true gent.
Actually met Steve Howe twice. Once with A B W H & once with ASIA. Got a picture with him first time we met.
I’ve met a couple musicians while at shows as they just wandered amongst the crowd. Carlos Santana and Michael Hedges. So I absolutely believe your story.
Nice , I would of hopped in the back with him !
PHENOMENAL STORY..I BELIEVE YOU..
I don't believe this.
I don't think Squire is stoned, I think he just has that very slow way of talking. :D
Fish out of Water is one of my favorite albums, especially as a bass player. Squire is one of the greatest bassists of all time, no question.
yea every interview you see him in hes like this. Hes just slow like you said at talking and getting his thoughts out
jeez its '75 ! everyone was high ! good weed back then wouldn't make you comatose like that 97% dab shit...Bob is high as shit !
They did quite a lot of the old smoking of pot back in the day! I am under the impression that it was only when not working though! They were disciplined in that way!
I agree. Squire and Howe talk slowly because they expect to be listened to and to listen to others rather than excitedly talk over each other.
As a player of the bass guitar for 28 years, I wholeheartedly agree!
The world is a darker place for his passing.
Rest in peace Chris and thanks for the music.
Sadly, nearly every clip I've ever seen of him he has a cigarette in hand. And he died from a blood cancer.
Chris looks very cool! I loved his look back then! And YES, he was an amazing bass player and singer!
In the early 1970's a colleague in the office was a Yes fan.
I remember him bringing the latest LP into the office & we all looked at the art work with amazement.

Nowhere near as slow as Peter Gabriel.
I've had Fish Out Of Water since it was released. An absolutely superb album, one of my favourites.
RIP Chris.....follow the cosmic river.....................
I'm a bassist in my 20's who grew up on Nirvana. I've loved yes for a long while, but this made me want to become classically trained.
My Idol Chris Squire... R.I.P.
The Old Grey Whistle Test, The Midnight Special, and......Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. What wonderful ways to see bands.
Fish out of Water is a stunning album.
One of my favorite albums of all time!
@@nickavenoso7851 And mine.
Chris was the heart and soul of Yes.
One of the best solo albums ever made.
Hearing Steve's Track. I can picture him as an old Soul entertaining at a Kings Court back in the day. Very Baroque..
Quadrider50 That's something I've always said. I quite love that about his playing.
The Crimson King by any chance?

Wow, this is actually really soothing.
What a smashing Gem to find and what a spanking top job Steve and Patrick did on Beginnings such class musicians at their best.
Love you Squire. Know bliss forever.
Their accents back then were so Cockney... rest in infinite peace, Chris, if there's anyone here who deserved it that was you. :-*
That's always great to hear from the MASTERS , talking 'bout their creation
scene
They are the best.
I listen, at least, one song by YES everyday
Of course , I try to play some of them
Those moments are funny.. Playing YES is a great lesson for any instrumentist and mainly for a good vocalist.

I dont know what why all the negative comments.
You are watching music legends. So far above most musos and very in-depth music
Always loved seeing Steve perform
Great quality uploads! Thanks Dreamer3355. It's so sad that an Anderson/Squire/Howe/Bruford/Moraz lineup of Yes never happened; it would have knocked every other incarnation into a cocked hat.
Steve's solo stuff is underrated. I'm a guitar player and I was very impressed with it.

ah there is a god! Never thought I d see that wonderful film of steve playing beginnings ever again so a big thankyou from me for that.
Mistrzowie progrocka.Wspaniale było żyć w czasach takich muzyków.Dziekuje im z całego serca za muzykę.
this just made my day! videos like this are priceless to me...I love YES so much
Two musicians who have inspired many kids who struggled with their little cheap basses and pawn shop guitars to play from records long into the night.
As a 56 yr old YES fan, I still love YES in all its previous incarnations up to the current "Fly From Here" and Jon Anderson's recent solo work too. Plus "Squackett" too! Thanks for posting this...cool!
I'm about that age and I'm listening to Drama now more then ever.

Amazing , I really thank you this material , I haven't seen it with these quality , and with the Interviews , thanks a lot.
how brilliant is Steve Howe!
THANKS for posting these two videos!! So great to see Patrick Moraz again !
All these type of musicians would be successful no matter what they did. Listen to their accents..........clever young men
kelly You're right. They are the "Michaelangelo's" of rock music. They don't play for the money, it's just "in them"

0:44 chris did the signature David Cross move, priceless
Good questions from bob regarding the album.
Great live version of Beginnings for a video!
Six personal fave guitarists: Chuck Berry, Hendrix, John McLaughlin, Howe, Steve Jones and Ricky Wilson
Great to see "Beginnings" played live, in a slightly different version than the studio one, as Patrick plays all the orchestral parts on the harpsichord.
Better then .. IMHO.
God must have helped this band write and play their music .. no other explanation for them to be so good.
Every musician interviewed on OGWT was so elegantly wasted!
Great!
Somewhere I still have both these LPs, great stuff esp "Fish"
That is hysterical.. I was noticing the same thing.
Close your eyes and listen. Looks are God given, and so is the gift of being the best guitar player alive. Take a good look at yourself, i bet you have no room to judge as you probably didn't pioneer a genre of music that changed and moved music to a level that Steve Howe did. Just sayin.....
Agree!
Chris's face always looks like he's got an plastic layer perfectly placed, so his face always looks smooth!
Fish out of Water is a really interesting and musical album.
Anybody else notice how "Squire-like" the bass playing on "Break Away From It All" sounds? Apparently Steve played bass on that track. So either Steve got really good at playing bass like Chris or Chris played on it and didn't get credit for it, or didn't want the credit. Either way, it sounds like Chris's style.
