- The footage and the audio are from two completely different performances of the song but I matched them up (or at least attempted to do so). There will be some obvious jump cuts throughout the video but it was the best I could do.

I feel sorry for everyone who didn't get to be a teenager or young adult during the 70's. It was pure magic.
I grew up with teenage brothers and Classic Rock radio during the 70s.The absolute best music
TRUTH!!
Class of 79 ✌️
Sure do miss those days of really good music
Truth. I was born in 1993 so 99 percent of the music that came out when I was growing up was dog crap lol.
You mean better than 2023?
I was born in 71
But had a sister who was 10 years older
And we had to clean our rooms
She would blast Yes
I grew to fall in love
My sister passed 12-5-22
Today I had the strength to come back to the music ..happiness in a pool of tears ❤rip
nice
RIP Miss
So sorry Michael. This music cuts deep for me too. Hang in brother! ♥
Sorry to hear and celebrations for such a joyous soul.
I have heard Yes because of my elder brother, who was born in 1964. God Bless your Sister, shining in the light of the sunrise,
I'm 29 and will forever be thankful that my 64 year old dad taught me what good music was 💚
Qué vivan los padres que enseñan todo lo bueno a sus hijos!!!
🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
At 73 I am overjoyed that the awesome music I enjoyed on the way to being 'adult' is being enjoyed by younger enthusiasts today. 50 years ago this track blew me away, it still does.
Lifts my 60 year old heart and makes it feel like a teenager again. We were so lucky to experience this in real time.
me too..its beautiful out here on the east coast..summer almost...so in view of these awesome lyrics and performance how bout we just "think" we are 25 again? ...atleast for a wk..maybe the whole summer..aching bones be damned! all us progressive rock fans! we just gotta watch this video once a day!
@@tomq5180 You have got a deal. ❤
@@pamwatson5905 😄
Agreed Pam, I'm just a young guy at age of 63. But I saw them 4 times in the 70s in Vancouver BC concerts.
Mine too! The best years of life!
I am 67, and so glad I grew up in this era...Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, ELP, King Crimson.....
just to name a few.......such variety, such great music, such memories.......what a time to reflect now....
I'm a 64 yr old black male who loves all types of music thanks to my brother and my cousin sharing MUSIC WITH ME !
I'll be 67 in 2 weeks. My first 8 track was a bootleg of the Yes album.
David Bancell I am 67 also. Those were the greatest music of all time.
I'm 67 today and still loving this. Our generation were so lucky. My children are envious of what we had. It breaks my heart.
right there with you guy .. im 66 myself and still listen to all those bands that u mentionned and most likely will till the day i die ....,
Steve Howe is so underrated as a lead guitarist.
I don’t know what you mean. All the guitarists I knew in the 70’s liked him.
Technically and spiritually superior. Honestly.
Guitar Player magazine best overall guitarist 5 years in a row. He kept winning so they created the Hall of Greats and he was inducted into it and no longer eligible for voting.
Anyone who rates Clapton and Page above Howe can’t be a guitarist. He mops the floor with them.
1000 years from now this will still be good.
You're right. It does.
One million years
Agreed but will anyone remember or understand it.
@@christiancamlin13 - we "haven't got time to make you a wife" is understandable across space-time.

I am 65. The band Yes changed my life. We were suddenly hearing music no one had done. Along with Yes came other greats. Genesis - Selling England by the Pound, King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Santana and plenty of bands great bands like Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers. We were so lucky to have grown up with such great music and such talented bands to blow our minds. King Biscuit Flower Hour was key in introducing us to so many bands.
Don't turn your head too soon, or too far away from the maddening crowd...
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of Kingdom and pope
Like good Christians some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And till the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
The Blue and Grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war was over
They stuffed it just like a hog
And though the past has its share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But its protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey
The spirit was freedom and justice
And its keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'
The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner we can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'
America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster
America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster
America...

I agree. The late '60's and 70's were phenomenal for music. I was lucky enough to have seen Yes twice. It was amazing. Yes, they changed my life as well. Prior to them I was really into Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, UFO, Humble Pie... all bands I still dearly love. But Yes was different. They brought a higher dimension to music. Jon Anderson's lyrics enfolded a spiritual perspective that I had not encountered before Yes. Though I still love all my favorites such as Foghat, J.Geils, Mountain, Robin Trower, Yes I think was the only band that inspired me creatively in a spiritual way. I sawTed Nugent around the same time and he's a killer guitarist. But, "Got you in a stranglehold baby, you best get out my way..." just cannot compare to, "The truth is written all along the page/How old will I be before I come of age, for you?" And that is one of the more transparent, less complex lines in Yes! Anyhow, Just amazing...!
Almost breaks ones heart knowing that wonderful time is gone.
We're still here so it's still going on.
Alex Cooke Yeah but Davison is also here so that doesn't help
@Gar Goil and good original music too.
@Gar GoilAnything that great couldn't last 4 ever.
Almost?
Such talent. The virtuosity of performing rock musicians in the 1970s was simply off the charts
As a kid growing up in the 70s, dam we had some great music.
Yes, Zeppelin, Wishbone Ash, Pink Floyd , Deep Purple to name a few , never tire of listening to them.
we did not have great music.... we had the best !!!!!!!!!!
...eSPECIALly in MO-KC.ity! WE had Cowtown Ballroom!! (google it )
@@bobbywolff1274 Kansas City 👍
And they're still playing it. The new ones can't compare.
On February 26, 1972, the band I was in, Genya Ravan's "Baby", played a gig with Yes at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey.
We were scheduled to open for them at this show and we rolled in during the early evening. It was freezing cold and we all kept our overcoats on even in the theatre. I had heard both "The Yes Album" and "Fragile" by this time and I was, of course, duly impressed.
The stage was set with Yes's equipment (Steve had piles of various Fender amps and Chris used Marshalls) as they were going to do the first soundcheck and then their stuff would be moved back so that we could set up in front of them and do ours. Our stuff would remain there and we would open the show. After our set, our stuff would be removed and their stuff moved up.
Except for their equipment, the stage was empty as we came in, except for one guy sitting at the grand piano on the right of the stage (from the audience). After going back to our dressing room and removing my winter coat and all, I went onto the stage and over to this guy who was playing the piano bit from "Morning Has Broken", the Cat Stevens song which was then all over the radio.
Well, this guy had long blonde hair and was playing the song so wonderfully. I sat on the bench with him and he looked over to me and smiled and he continued to the end of the song. I introduced myself to him and told him that I was in the opening band. He introduced himself to me as Rick and said he played in Yes. We shook hands and talked for a while.
He said that his wife was expecting a child that very night and that he was nervous and excited about it. I congratulated him and assured him that everything would be alright. He smiled, thanked me, and we continued to talk. When I asked him why he was playing that song he said that he had done the arrangement and had recorded the piano on Cat Stevens' record. He said that he really liked that piano part and that playing it helped him to warm up his hands and his head. His son, Oliver, was born that night which was announced from the stage during their show.
As the other guys in Yes took the stage for the soundcheck I went to the back of the theater to listen. Genya was there with me, too. She had never heard Yes before and she was curious as to what they were about. I told her that they were incredible and very original and that she would be knocked out. They opened their soundcheck with "All Good People" and their harmonies and all were immaculate. Genya was impressed and said so. I said, "Just wait." When they finished the first part and went into the instrumental for the second part of the song they just blew the roof off the place and Genya just about dropped to the floor.
Chris' bass was so enormous it filled every inch of the room, Steve's guitar was sharp and clear and brilliant, and Rick and Bill were just as good as possible. They were the best band I had ever heard except for possibly The Who at The Village Theatre (later The Fillmore East ) some time before.
We were an R&B-based band. We did our set and got a very good reception, but when Yes came on stage to the last few minutes of Stravinsky's "The Firebird" playing over the P. A., I knew that we were completely outclassed and obsolete. These guys were the future and their sound was from another place entirely.
Their set was so amazing that I'll never forget it. We did a second show and I was inspired by Steve and Yes to do some further improvising on guitar, but our thing seemed to me to be so dull compared to what they were doing.
I later met Chris and we became friends. He was an R&B fan and loved our stuff. I told him that it didn't stand up at all to what his band was doing, but he assured me that it did and that he liked our set. He was a nice guy. I miss him.
After "Fragile", just as did Bil, I too found that Yes was moving into a musical direction that seemed to be complexity for its own sake. To me, "Fragile" is their high-water mark.
The Capitol was a great place for concerts. Plus, there was a bar a block or so away that filled our cooler with beer from the tap....for $5!
That was such an awesome personal story to hear, thank you for sharing it God bless the internet too bad everyone can't experience everything
@@christophersims7060 You're welcome. Well, that is true, but we can all share our experiences with others.
Great story!
omg, I am choked up ..... thanks for sharing. .................... phew ............................. :'(
Steve Howe was absolute savage. His playing is mind blowing.
Especially on that hollow body.
You nailed it one hell of a guitar player
If only he were not so bitter towards Jon we could see them play now.
@@christiancamlin13 I'm not sure about this, but I thought that I heard that Steve Howe went to that great concert hall in the sky. If so, it would kinda prevent any type of collaboration.
@@SaltyDraws Wonderful. Thanks for the heads-up. For some reason, I thought that I heard that he moved on. It seems as if we lose one the greats every other week.
This was the Close to the Edge tour in 1973. Saw them in Nashville at War Memorial Auditorium. It was amazing. At one point, Steve Howe very humbly came to the microphone and said, “I’d like to now play a tribute to the great Nashville guitarist, Chet Atkins.” He was immediately greeted with boos from the audience. He looked over at Jon Anderson, who shrugged his shoulders, smiled and continued on with the next song. I’ve always wondered what that tribute might have sounded like, but we’ll never know. I’m sure it would have been incredible to hear! Stupid people.
I saw them at Municipal in 71. I was 14 and in the nosebleed seats as high up and as far away as you could get! It was still amazing.
@@rockinredneck57 Those seats were all I could afford as a kid but so glad I took myself to those concerts back then
Really? The booed Chet Atkins in Nashville? WTF.
I graduated from high school at the War Memorial. Chet Atkins is a legend!
@@rockinredneck57wish I had been there! I saw Led Zep there in 70
"Don't surround yourself with yourself" - how prophetic - I have that phrase posted for my students.
ill get a magnet, paper, crayon and post it on my fridge :)
Do the students have any idea who this band is?
@@musicstewart9744 I see it as an opportunity to introduce them to real music. Some like it - and that is good enough. Even if it is only one - the torch has been passed.
yes ideed
Smart teacher
Nothing can touch music from the 70’s.
Outstanding harmony! And all way before computers. What awesome talent this under-rated band has. Hair is raising on my neck.
I remember the first time I heard this song, I was in high school( 1975) I instantly went out and bought the yessongs album. Some 44 years later I can't imagine my life without the magic that is Yes music. RIP Christopher Squire, a truly gifted and in my opinion , the best base player ever.
Same here - in Hungary, so there was no buying western vinyls at all in the late sixties, early 70-ies, just listening to Radio Luxembourg...then Yugoslavia helped - all leading bands' LPs could be bought from there, years later...Now I have YES inside all my home computers and mobiles(cell phones), hard drives, floppys and CDs, DVDs, mp3s, original vinyls in the wardrobes, and old tapes and cassettes, all over in our house... I can't imagine my life without this magic, too. From their very beginning, a lightning revelation.
I experienced Yes in their prime ('71-'73), while I was in high school. Very unique brand of music.
Chris Squire...amazing human being...RIP
Hear! Hear!
I was also High in School in 75, I bought the 8trck from Columbia :;))
One of the best groups of the 70's,
Doesn't get better..This was the only Golden age in rock..so far hopefully lol This period of the 70's allowed so much artistic impression..the major labels bought in..until 77 78
Sophomore year of college {1971}, I was walking down my dorm hallway and heard this song coming from a room. I walked in to hear who it was. I've been hooked since. Fortunately, a KMart nearby had all 3 released albums.
Was my freshman year...Changed my life!!
Geddy lee loved yes and Chris squire, he loved his tone on bass and it shows with rush he was a big influence on geddy. 👍🍁🇨🇦
Llalal
Geddy played like a disciple of Chris and sang like a disciple of Jon.
@@christiancamlin13 just a bit harsher voice…
watch geddy playing with yes at their induction into HOF its truly great!
Ok actual goosebumps when they start rocking out. No hiding places. These guys were amazing.
I cannot believe that I was only 15 when I saw Yes live on stage at The City Hall in Newcastle upon Tyne,I'm almost 62 now and still have a special place in my heart for these 5 amazing people
Dude has the most unique voice
He is from Accrington, a town in North East, Lancashire and he sings in the local accent.
Unique can't be qualified. It's one of a kind. It can't be most one of a kind.
@Kathleen Heiser look dummy it CANNOT be most unique or "so unique". It's either unique or it isn't.
@@zapkvr Who cares how he said it? He's right just the same bro!
@@zapkvr Of all the unique voices his is the mostest uniqueisist.
I was blessed to see Yes, ELP, Pink Floyd. Tull, Moody Blues, Genesis. Marvelous times.
I’ve seen Yes, King Crimson twice, Pink Floyd, Elton John the one I wished I could of caught was The Who
Lucky!!
@@csnyder23 The Who still tour and put on a phenomenal show. I see them 2x in past few years
Everything cool but Genesis is not the same as those great line ups you mentioned.
@@csnyder23 sorry I missed issed King Crimson.
I saw Yes when Steve Howe had just joined and it was in a small venue in Devizes in the UK, there was no stage and about 300 people, he had to learn their songs in about one month....fantastic days and never will forget
Awesome!
Saw Yes a few times. Memorable 1976 concert in Balboa park in San Diego with Peter Frampton and Gentle Giant opened. Can not leave my car until any Yes song playing is over.
i saw that tour at the cow palace in sf. amazing. i went both days.
You're a lucky man! What year?????
I saw that 1976 show at Anaheim Stadium. Frampton Comes Alive had just topped the charts and the place went crazy for him and some left after his set.I came for Yes. The previous summer I saw the tour where they recored Comes Alive.Sabbath headlined, then Skynyrd, Frampton was 3rd on the bill, Gentle Giant and Black Oak Arkansas opened the show at the Orange Show Speedway in San Berdino.
Alex Cooke 1976...myself and 2 friends drive cross country to attend summer school at UCSD.
Okay, first Tobiah, Frampton was on top of the world in '76, and he's second on the bill? Granted, Yes was a stud act, and deservedly so, even though in my opinion, they peaked in '73. Frampton released that monster 'Frampton Comes Alive' album in summer '76, which rocketed him to the top along with Fleetwood Mac's new lineup. (Buckingham/Nicks)
Chris Squire "R.i.P" 🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊
Still listening in 2020 !!
Thank God for that yes that's how I got through college. University of Tampa.
So am I ! Have seen Yes at least 12 times. I remember Long Beach Arena in CA and Yes opened for Deep Purple. Can you imagine? My ears still ring but the memories are exquisite!
Rodrigo Godoy yesssss!! I’m a musician and this is the type of music I listen to!!!
me too
70’s had the best music
With sadness I learn that the great, gifted Alan White passed on this past weekend. Rest in Peace
!
Probably met with some good ol' friends such as John Lennon, George Harrison and Chris Squire.
Thanks for your talent and the good memories.
Chris Squires harmonics on the bass strings is a great touch during Part One. The guy was and is a deity.
The day when we saw “all good people “in a band. The love you hear in Jon’s voice transcends time . They wore capes because they were real super hero s ! Thank you Yes for the music that made my life .
Anderson’s angelic voice backed up by Squire and Howe was pure magic. Not to mention the playing…
YES had two of the best musicians in all of rock music in Steve Howe and Chris Squire. These guys were unreal talented! Love this band for so many reasons!!
Don’t forget Rick Wakeman
Y Rick Wakeman...y Jon Anderson...y Alan White (que venía de estar con John Lennon), o sea, era "un seleccionado" mundial de la música progresiva !!!
Don't forget Bill Bruford and Alan White
Three...Rick Wakeman
You know that Anderson wrote most of their best songs? The whole band were amazingly talented.
YES and QUEEN are two of the most talented vocal bands of all time. What a great live performance.
Alan White is enjoying himself on the drums!!
RIP Alan!
My husband & I went to the LA Forum to see them live in 1973. Our show had the stage set up as a lighted chessboard. The floor would light up every time with the music and the guys would actually move from square to square. Left an indelible memory in my mind. Every time I hear it I see it in my mind and makes me smile. The squares were neon green and black. Absolutely blew me away. Thanks for the post and sweet memories.
That's the coolest thing I've ever heard. I hope footage of this concert exists.
I would have liked to see that!
On the one hand: this sounds so corny and dumb!! On the other hand: I would have given my left nut to see those guys, live, in their prime... You were blessed.
I was there as well
Saw them in Las Vegas either right before or after their Forum show in spring of '73. I think, due to a forced change of venue due to a riot at the 7k seat Convention Center, (when Deep Purple cancelled after their preliminary act finished), Yes shelved their obvious stage set up as a chessboard, due to the small venue (Ice Palace-1500 capacity) and it's small stage. To their credit, (they easily could have cancelled the Vegas show) Yes played anyway, and we're everything they should have been at the time, and that was maybe the hottest band for that two, three period ('71-'73). In addition to Yes being rescheduled from the larger Convention Center to the much smaller Ice Palace, TYA also kept their date, and Mr. Lee didn't disappoint, while Jeff Lynn and ELO did the same. Great three concert stretch at the quaint 1500 seat Ice Palace. (good memories-senior year '72-'73)
I could listen to this tune every day for the rest of my life and it wouldn't be enough. Bliss.
Fall, 1972 ... Me and my younger brother would sneak this album out of our older brothers' room just to listen to Chris Squire's amazing bass playing and we'd go absolutely bonkers when Chris would hit that certain low, floppy sliding note every now and then...I miss u, Danny...R I P .
I love love this band. It takes me back to happy times. TY YES
I was born in 72 and was the only kid at school who was into Yes. I'm so glad I discovered this superlative band at such a late stage. They are timeless, cosmic and RIP Chris Squire.
Great taste. In '72 when you were born? Yes was at their peak and I was digging them at 17 years old. Incredible collective musicianship in that band.
To be alive in the 70’s 😭💔 as a 30 year old who missed the mark by 20 years I hear stories about these times. Oh boy what a time I missed 😭😭
Has to be one of the all time greatest songs in rock n roll history. Loved it back then, still love it now!
I'll be 64 this year
They were the best of times
They were the worst of times
But they made me who I am
I will never regret that
So very grateful that I got to grow up in the 70's! As a teenager this was the music I loved and still love to this day, April 17 2022!
I saw Yes a couple of times in the 70s, this was my favorite tour.
This song has really held up well, 50 years later, it still sounds so good.
Those were the days. Wish I could live them all over again.
Dont we all
everything was new at that time, the chorus, the mandolin, the spanish guitar on some songs, the keyboard, the drum like Bill Buford played (although in the video is Alan, everything was innovative....and then Jon's voice. So much talent
I liked alan white better!!!!!!
@@jimbosteen2935 different styles but both made a great contribution to Yes' music!
Nobody's mentioned Rick Wakeman--a virtuoso keyboard/piano talent.
I first saw Yes with Jethro Tull at Sacramento Memorial Auditorium... and I was blown away... and this song brings it all back. Love you all, thanks for the heart stab.
I saw them in 1973 in Germany. One of the best concerts I`ve ever seen. I was in the Army at the time.
I'm so fortunate to have grown up in this era , listening to some of the greatest music ever produced. Bands like Rush, Led Zeppelin, Boston, Aerosmith , journey, and so many others. This is true rock ‘n’ roll music. This was true talent.
And these guys were such stunningly skilled musicians.
When this tune and Roundabout came out in 73, rock n roll was peaking. Real musicians, real singers, real music with lyrics, ballads, political messages, and the everlasting quest for love and peace. Good times our kids and grandkids will never know like we did.
Off the chart musicianship all around. I defy any modern band/artist to come anywhere close to this for technique, originality and just being so damn tight!
Darn straight
I would not hold my breath looking for a more talented group of musicians......
amen
This here is the reason why we, of that generation, ridicule the "artists" and music of today.
I'm a few years outside that generation, having been born in 1973. But I 100% agree. It's up to us to keep true talent and meaningful music alive forever.
because you're old and ignorant. I'm old too, but I can play music and know you are full of it. Stop being old and cliche. .here are some yes covers i did. soundcloud.com/morbidman/close-to-the-edge-yes-cover soundcloud.com/morbidman/gates-of-delirium-yes-cover
i cant imagine how sad it must be to truly believe all new music is bad. what a dismal world to force yourself to live in.
@@morbidmanmusic Reread comment again. You didn't get it.
@@methyod Reread comment again. You obviously didn't get it.
That was AWESOME!!! There’s NOTHING like that happening in today’s groups…
Ah Yes, back when you had to be an actual musician to make it!
your'e right pal..
AMEN TO THAT !
Steve Howe was a great string man-loved his mandolin stuff in concert. Squire? Because of Yes's music structure, his bass came off as sounding like no other, while the 'Wizard' Wakeman was an accomplished musician- a session player in demand his whole playing life.
Couldn’t have said it any better
Jazz Mystic Amen to that!
This has got to be the most underrated band - with so many hits, some of the best vocals known to man and probably the best Guitarist known to man.
Coincido plenamente !!!
En su momento quienes (pocos) escuchábamos rock progresivo y sinfónico, teníamos 4 ó 5 bandas en nuestras afinidades. Pero luego con “la masiva” llegada de videos (MTV, primero…TH-cam, luego), más un “buen marketing” (ejemplo, la película de Alan Parker “In the wall”), marcó diferencias en el “conocimiento” del público respecto a la existencia de las bandas. Eso hizo parecer que algunas fueran “superiores” a otras… Es un tema para “debatir” ampliamente!!! 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Two words: Roundabout live.
As a kid from the era, this music may never pass our way again. Relish it while you can and turn your kids and grandkids on to it so they may keep it alive.
I was lucky to see YES back in the day at the Whisky a go go , bombastic energy as displayed here
RIP Alan White - I first saw Yes live at Madison Square Garden NYC in 1977 and was blown away by your performance. Thanks for the music!
My brother took me to see the Reunion tour for my birthday that year... I am so happy I got to see Yes, Pink Floyd, and Rush live in my life. The best shows I've ever seen.
Hearing him sing “all we are saying is give peace a chance” in the background. Makes me want to cry
My god do I miss the 70’s
Having been born in 1948, I lived through the 50's genre of music, and even as a child I thought it was great, and I just figured it would go on forever like that.. But then, along came the 60's, with a whole new sound, and with its own brand of music, and its own great, talented writers and performers. But, who would have guessed that the 70's would equal, if not outdo, the great groups and artists of the 60's? Of course, then all of that was followed by more fantastic music of the 80's and 90's! And looking back, only now do I fully realize and recognize just how fortunate those of us who lived in those years were to have experienced live concerts with those wonderful musicians, artists, writers and performers. It was such a marvelous era, one that I don't think will ever be duplicated. Even now, who could ever tire of listening to those amazing, legendary sounds? I feel blessed to have lived through those years, and will always have wonderful, fond memories of them, and of the music that brought us together and lifted us up during those days..... Peace, everyone!
All theses years later and the music still sounds soooo good!!
There is nothing more perfect than this. Period
I saw Yes on stage back in the early 70’s and they were great! One of my favorites to go see. Along with Jethro Tull,Uriah Heap and Emerson Lake and Palmer.
Saw ELP a few days before I had to enter the Army as a draftee.in 1972 in NY state. They were Fab.
packers600
I saw YES at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena in 1972. Amazing concert with the J.Geils Band opening the show. The weed smoke was so thick that they had to open the retractable dome to let some air in. People outside said it looked like a cooling tower of a nuclear reactor when the dome opened. Once the smoke cleared it was listening to YES, vegetating and gazing at the stars outside. Amazing!!!!! J.Geils put on quite an act too, with some concert -goers feeling that they actually stole the show.
as it should i saw them in san deigo 75
Awwwwe, the Civic Arena brings back so many memories ! Native Pgh'r here 👍
Seen many shows at Civic.
Did they open up the dome ,? Saw them going for the one tour open up the dome in the winter, snowing and everything, a!!!!, the best
Hard driving man,J Geils rock!+
Saw this in 1973 and loved them ever since. Will be in York UK very soon and am sure will be as wonderful as it has ever been. can't wait x
I’m 54 years old and I got into Yes in the early 80s. I had bought the Yes Album and Fragile. This is one of the best songs off the debut.
The Yes Album was one of the best gifts I ever got. Some find it dated---the sort of people who can't see what's so special about the Beatles. So many fantastic albums toward the end of the 60s by bands that became legendary.
The Yes Album is fantastic while The Beatles are just "meh".
My first Yes purchase was the triple album - Yessongs, which was from this very video. The only song I knew at the time was Roundabout, but after listening to 6 sides of the 3 records, I was hooked. I'm 64 now and have enlightened my 2 teenage kids about the great music from my era. If they don't love and appreciate Yes, they are cut out of the will.
magical 50 years later still brings tears to my eyes!!
What a hell of band they were especially this line up. Guess the 73 dislikes were folks that watched this and realized they will never play this well in their lifetime. I also love the line up with Pete & Bill. Man i saw them back in 72 & am still awed by them. We miss Chris as well.
One of the most amazing bands of our times!! Thank you for your music !! New music has no soul these days...digital music sucks...
The first concert I went too was YES! They played at the Forum in Montreal with Rick Wakeman. What a great time that was. The 70’s gave us some unforgettable music!
Another song etched anologally onto a cassette; I even remember having to clean the tape deck's head after repeated plays...... I drift back in time to my teen years, rock on.
This is my all-time favorite group and what a beautiful song I have listened ever since I was 14 years old I am now 62 I will die with this music in my heart
Lo escucho y lo vuelvo a escuchar...y con el transcurrir de los años NO salgo de mi asombro!!! Cada vez disfruto más de esta, y todas las canciones de YES... Y les hallo mayor gusto, placer, etc...!!! En definitiva..”se paladea” como los BUENOS VINOS !!!
DIOS bendiga la música de YES !!! 🙌🏻🎵🙌🏻
Yes had some of most talented musicians of our time. Howe, Wakeman and Squire were beyond awesome. I can't believe Howe played this song with a Gibson Switchmaster. Only he could have pulled that off.
Saw them live in Sydney in the 70s , exquisite, fabulous
This was an amazing moment caught on film! Steve Howe and company are simply amazing here!
Listening to this, in fact, this version is pure poetry! Brilliant rendition!
This song and group transcends the era and typical rock music. It's one of the immortal classics that is difficult to categorize.
Grew up listening to them, late at night, on the radio as a 4th grader. Then in '79 saw them in all their glory. What a band. What a brilliant band.
Just two words, BEAUTIFUL SONG, even more beautiful in this excellent live performance.....
Music for the brain. Music for the heart. Music for the spirit. Music for the ages.
My dad was a jazz piano player I was always bringing home bullshit music for him to get his approval. Always crickets.This almost twisted his head off.These guys are fantastic.
Back in the day, I had the honor of seeing this wonderful band in concert. One word - GREAT!!!!! I loved the show. And I still like this band.
God they were such a great live band. To play on that level and also sing those intricate harmonies..... incredible. Anderson was on point too!
R.I.P to one of rocks greatest and most underrated drummers of all time, Alan White! Hope he and Chris Squire are both jamming out to Yes songs in Heaven.
One of the Absolute Progressive Rock Bands of the 70s!
ELP were the best. They were extraordinary Take away Jon's voice, Yes are pretty ordinary. Jon has the greatest rock voice of all time. Better than Don Van Vliet. better than anyone.
@@zapkvr Oh come on now, one of the guitar greats, a keyboard wizard, as unique and idiosyncratic bass player as anyone could want, a superb drummer and Jon Anderson, to use the word 'ordinary' is crass. True Wakeman did not have the inventiveness and chutzpah of Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer is arguably the best drummer ever, but 'ordinary' cannot be used to describe the playing here. No wonder you call yourself the Flatulent perhaps you should add fatuous to your title as well.
@@zapkvr fuck. No
One of the absolute progressive rocks bands of the 70s! (You don't need to capitalise all those words.)
Ordinary my ass, you don't know what you're talking about, at all
I heard it first in 1970--it may be my favorite song of all time, Thank you Jon. and Yes.
Truly timeless, keeps me young at heart. Making want to fire up the turntable for a jam session
Man ... they had some great songs...Don’t find bands like this anymore
wow, I remember seeing "yessongs" at the theater when I was so young with jeff, nancy, and paul. I was 18. I agree, this is the BEST version of this song. Steve was never better on that hollow Gibson....I wish the young people today would appreciate what real music, from the heart is like...
much appreciated
why in God's name does he use that monstrosity of a guitar. Must have been so hard to play and uncomfortable to use on stage
Saw them at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY, when I was in High school in the mid-70's. Just blew me away. First time I heard Starship Trooper live. Amazing show!
This song makes me so happy, I find myself smiling as soon as I hear it
