You’re going to love Starship Trooper and Yours Is No Disgrace!
Awaken, Ritual, Siberian Khartu, Close To The Edge, Turn Of The Century are just Some of the Great MASTERPIECE'S they Have In their Catalog of Magnificent Arsenal Of Music !!!!!! You Need to Get Really Deep Into there Full History of This Journey You Would Take Yourself On. If you Pay Close Attention to the Words of Some of the Great Songs it Will take you On A Spiritual Journey To ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Heart of the Sunrise
It's so complex but also simple and beautiful. It is truly my favorite Yes song. And definitely a headphone couch song. It takes you through so many emotions. Thank you for listening to this song!
This is the kind of music we all sat around and got high and listened to the whole album without a lot of talk! 💜👵🏼✌🏼🌻
Yes performs this at every concert. It's a love song to his wife.
OMG, so young and you get it! You are amazing, young man! Music should make you feel something, beauty, pain, love, even just happiness from a great beat…something. ☮️❤️
If you can't perceive beauty, GODLIKE MAJESTY, while listening to Jon Anderson's voice and lyrics, you have my pity.
I have to close my eyes when listening to this master piece, it takes me out of myself❤☘️💃💃
Since you started the Close To The Edge album by listening to And You And I first, you really ought to listen to *Siberian Khatru* next, before listening to the title cut, Close To The Edge. Siberian Khatru is the song on the album that immediately follows And You And I. It's kinda neat how after listening to And You And I, they take you right into the funky groove that drives Siberian Khatru. You'll see...
...pontificate away. That's why we are here. 🙂
Thanks! I would recommend "Awaken" or "Heart of the Sunrise" for your next Yes listen
I started being a rock DJ in Dallas at 21 years old. 1980. We played everything. Yes was, and still is, my favorite band. Length of the song didn’t matter, content did. It was AOR back then Album Oriented Rock. I have had the luckiest life.
That is awesome! RockON!!!
In 1974 i would do just that. Come home from school and put this album on lay across my bed and soak it all in, enjoying the cover and reading the lyrics (which were included). What a time to be alive listening to great music.
If I remember correct when I had the album back in 1974 it was black italic lettering on a green background😊😊,I think 😮😮😮
Me too as I listened to my older brother’s album at the age of 12!
the epitomy of prog rock, this LP was so far ahead of its time
It's the press that invents terms such as prog and punk. The musicians themselves don't really relate to the terms. They do their thing. We react.
Thats not true at all, at least when it comes to the term “progressive.” There are literally hundreds of examples of interviews and articles by prominent musicians from the 1960s using the term “progressive” to describe the music of their contemporaries. This term began being used frequently by British musicians in 1966 and 1967, albeit, before progressive rock was more formally established. Many of these musicians specifically stated that they wished to be more progressive with their music.
This is a MASTERPIECE. It is one of the most beautiful songs written by Yes, along with "Turn of The Century."🎉🎉🎉 Great Reaction!
Don't forget "Awaken"
"To Be Over" as well.
Let us not leave out Survival 😊😊😊
The tiny bell at the start is a ritual bell, used to open a prayer or meditation session or to focus the mind. Well done 😊
You have discovered one of the Greatest Progressive Rock Albums of all time. Peace Brother
"In the end we'll agree we'll accept we'll immortalize that the truth of the man maturing in His eyes"
I think the word for the feeling you were looking for is not sad but melancholy.
Majestic. Just fucking majestic.
Old yes makes me tear up. Early happiness alone, listening to lp's
Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and YES, the greatest show on earth. 53 years I've been listening to And You And I and the divinity shows up every time. 🙏🎶
👍😎
bought this album the week it came out I still get goosebumps when I listen to it
i was in high school when this was on the radio. I graduated in 1978. It was a popular band then. I would very much recommend that you listen to Traffic. Traffic is incredibly awesome. You will be blown away. Listen to the song Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Steve Winwood is incredible
Yo just on Roundabout. Jon wrote the song travelling from a concert in Aberdeen Scotland to the next one in Glasgow passing through roundabouts and mountains.This track is a masterpiece from the greatest prog album ever by the greatest band that has graced this planet.
By Jove, I think you got it! You're feeling the way they had intended my young friend!
Always Loving this Album💞
Progressive rock is generally described as music that continually transitions from one segment of music to another!
I saw them perform this in the 70’s at Madison Square Garden in NYC on their round revolving stage! It was amazing. I was in high school (now 62) and yes……I cried with emotion I couldn’t contain! They’re still my favorite band.
Progressive rock was firsf named as a genre in the early 70s, but it had already been coming tbrough in the 60s. The style was generally more orchestral and often featured long epic arrangements with a complexity and sophisticaton that only exceptional or extraordinary musicians could handle. YES just happened to be five of the extraordinary kind. They were particularly spiritual with their messaging and their music was exuberant and uplifting. There are jazz fusion elements, classical, folk, soul and blues. Unlike most groups, the bass playing is up front and center, ripping your face off. Other important pioneers of prog are:
King Crimson
Gentle Giant
Genesis
Pink Floyd
Jethro Tull
ELP
You’re picking a lot of the stuff I grew up listening to. Yes has some amazing musicians
Thumbs up back at ya sir! Ty for reaction. Fovorite band after Zep. They are amazing. Jon's voice had me at Wondrous Stories, then I further lost it hearing in the theater at close of Legend. Just a rewarding rabbit hole friend. New subscriber!
The lyrics are poetry; meaningless, sounds, meter, rhyme, emotion, spirit, ponderous. Delivered with the most transcendent voice. ❤
This masterpiece slowly draws you into its beautiful and mystical world.
Close to the Edge / progressive is deep in meaning. It’s for those of thought rather than mindless people who just want the fun and games. I’m proud of a person who likes thinking about the message.
Listening to Yes is like going to college, you're not the same person afterwards.
The music is anything but boring and repetitive. It is uniquely enlightening and does make you reflect on life.
So glad you like the vibe.
Here are some more recommended bands to sample from that era:
Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Bruce Springsteen
Bad Company
Elvis Costello
Foreigner
George Thorogood
Peter Gabriel
Santana
The Guess Who
Alan Parson's Project
Jethro Tull
Moody Blues
Styx
Love the Band and music, seen them live 3 times. Great shows!
buying a Yes album in my day was an event,and the album cover with such convenient thing to get things together on........
One of my favorite Rick Wakeman quotes: Jon is trying to save this planet while living on another.
I was very fortunate to have been born in ‘58, then to have seen YES perform some 30 times since ‘75, and to have met & talked to Anderson & Wakeman in ‘16. The nicest guys ever, they were sincerely interested in me, I could not touch the ground for days.
I've heard this about them. Sublime musicians, as nice as the come, and just a little profane.
@@aprilstewart5929 & Wakeman has an awesome sense of humor. He even hosted some kind of comedy show.
@@kenbarton2920 Oh, he is a TRIP!!! Profane as possible, always makes me ROFL. Have you seen the induction of Yes into the RRHOF?? Wakeman's speech was gob-smacking!
One of my very favorite prog songs. What an album!
The most mind blowing of the Yes catalogue is "The Gates of Delirium" - from the album "Relayer".
Yes, I have "Relayer" - good album.
The Yesshows version even more so for me.
Maybe try first before Gates:
Starship Trooper
Yours is No Disgrace
I’ve seen all Good People
Wondrous Stories
South Side of the Sky
Awaken🥰
Close to the Edge 🥰
then maybe Relayer!!!❤❤
Gates is the pinnacle of Yes tied with Close to the Edge for me. Gates inches a little higher most days, yes ❤
Jon Anderson describes progressive rock as 'adventurous', which I think pretty much sums it up.
Cool!
Progressive Rock has a few properties which differentiate it. First, length. Commercial radio rarely played anything past 3:30. Once in a while there was a long song and the DJ’s considered it a bathroom break song cause they weren’t confined to the 3:30.
Second is time signatures. Almost everything on the radio was 4/4 or 3/4. You can dance to it. Progressive not only uses odd time signatures, it tends to change them up during the song. Rush is a good example of changing time signatures.
Basically, progressive is a deviation from the standard 4/4 blues progression. Another staple is unusual instruments.
Progressive breaks the mold and jumps out of the conformity box.
Edit:
Also, the structure of commercial music is a formula. Intro, verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus, outro. Almost every commercial song follows this basic structure with slight variation.
Progressive Rock ignores the formula.
good prog rock should illicit and my an emotional
We had 1 AOR (album oriented rock) station in mid Iowa market that would do the longer cuts. Midnight weekends put on a whole album just stopping to flip it
Think that was the first time hearing this from start to end
Not sad. I think melancholy is the word. This band catches emotions so well!
I like them playing this live!
I love a lot of rap specifically for the word play, that's what's so fun about watching someone like yourself who has trained his ears for that to use those skills on other genres of music. I think a lot of people our age who grew up in the 70s can be a little snitty about modern music, and that's a shame. I love roots rock and blues, jazz and funk, progressive and alternative.
But Yes is something different entirely for me. Glad you're enjoying your journey.
There is so much Yes stuff. Heart of the Sunrise and Wonderous Stories are two that show the versatility of the band.
It is wonderful to witness you hearing music I have loved my whole life, for the first time... magical!
It was so nice to spend a few minutes this morning watching your reaction to one of my favorite YES songs. I'm looking forward to tuning into your journey with YES. Thanks!!
Yes... is the answer.
Hello from England.
Another great reaction.
Two years ago, aged 68, I discovered reaction videos. Since then I've had a great time watching intelligent young people discovering and appreciating the music that I grew up with.
lt was also two years ago that I discovered Band Maid.....
You can't imagine. Years with nothing new worth listening to and then a tsunami of extraordinary music from Japan of all places.
Oh, and if you want to go on a real trip with Jon Anderson....
Olias of Sunhillo....
Keep up the good work kiddo.
Sidenote: Those cool guitar sounds at the beginning are called "harmonics". You can see youtube videos explaining what they are and how they are produced.
Yes! 😊
You have to do "Awaken", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium", lots more.
Ah Yes! What makes them stand apart from the other prog bands of that era is that they always sound fresh - none of that typical '70s 'style' of playing and instrumentation. They are one of the very few bands i still listen to - i'm now mainly into electronic music. Every single song they produced in that decade can be considered a masterpiece - there are no duds/filler tracks, every song is a statement. What other band could that be said of? It boggles the mind at how creative they were and their wondrous musicianship. Enjoy the journey of discovery!
Enjoy!
Starship Trooper, See n All Good People, Aim High Shoot Low, Changes..
Have to agree with an earlier comment that this is the best prog rock album of all time. Siberian Khatru is a great song, and Close to the Edge has been ranked by many as the the greatest song of this genre of all time. I'd wait on that though and get a few other great Yes intro songs under your belt. Yours is No Disgrace is a good starter song as is Starship Trooper, or even Heart of the Sunrise. My favorite is The Revealing Science of God on their follow-up album to Close to the Edge - Tales from Topographic Oceans. My preference is also early Yes as they somewhat peaked very early on much like Pink Floyd IMHO.
Swear to gawd this song brings me to **Tears** cuz of the just incredible **Beauty** of it ALL there is NO explaining it to me anyway i have no words for how or why it makes me feel so emotional except **Pure Musical Magic** by **Magician Musicians** OH & P.S. i am a big time lover of old school Rap/Hip Hop as well heh used to be a **KickAss** **BreakDancer&Pop&Locker** heh YAY **PixieHugz&Luvz**
Nice reaction. Yes's musicianship is unmatchable. I would recommend listening to the classics of the Yes Album and Fragile before hitting the epics. You listened to Roundabout, the classic YES tours ended with Roundabout and Starship Trooper, Try Trooper next. Enjoy the buildup of the masterpieces before the epic songs of Close to the Edge, Awaken, Gates of Delirium and one I say is an epic is In The Presence Of. Hope you keep exploring the greatest band ever!
And You and I is my fave Yes track. Particularly the live version on Yessongs - they completely change things around. Alan White plays the triangle - it is so simple given Yes excel in the complex. There is a live film from that era and you really get the sense of the musicians 'feeling' the music. Like Jimi Hendrix. The guitar solo on the live Yessongs film version of Yours is No Disgrace you think 'is Steve Howe even playing the guitar anymore?'.
Came here to say the same thing. As good as their albums are, the live Yessongs is simply incredible.
OMG OMG OMG!!! ahaha YESSS to **YES** & YAY Ha THIS is one I **Requested** YAY! (Ha tho i am SURE like LOTS of others requested it too heh) BUT rarely do reactors actually do the ones i suggest in comments so yea heh i feel **Special** & once again **Spoiled** by **YOU** cuz once again **Two** of **MyMostFavs** in ONE day! SO **Luvit** Thank YOU!!! **RockON!!!** & be ready to be taken into another **BeautifulDimension** heh Weeeee! **HappyPixieTwirls**
Steve Howe, Chris Squier, Rick Wakeman, Bill Bruford... all virtuosos. There is a reason no one can cover Yes songs successfully. One song off their 90125 album I think you would really love. Please react to Changes.
I think you can safely say that Yes is one of the bands that defined progressive Rock.
Just a fun comment. When they released the single version of Roundabout the company executive lifted the needle at 3 minutes 50 seconds and said 'that's the single'
🙋🏿♀️ May I suggest 'Owner of A Lonely Heart'! 😏 YES had a #1 Grammy Award Winning 🤗 Club Hit! 💃🏾 I wore the grooves out of this song!
🎼 ProgRock is known for its smooth rhythmic beat changes & Sychopated Rhythmic Time Signatures. Doesn't have to be long. 'Lonely Heart' by YES & 'Tom Sawyer' by Rush are 2 📻 Radio Friendly Prog Song. 😁 Both were played sooooo much on Radio. 🥰🐰
*Disclaimer: Not a Music Theory Major. Just an Accountant fortunate enough to know a few Prog Bands.
And you and I climb,
Crossing the shapes of the morning.
And you and I reach,
Over the sun for the river.
And you and I climb,
Clearer towards the movement.
And you and I called,
Over valleys of endless seas...🤟☺
There is a magnificent hopeful melancholy to the whole vibe of this piece of work. ..
What you just heard is The Definition of "progressive rock". If it reminds you of this in some way then those who love labels could probably put a prog-rock sticker on it...
The light show for this song when I saw them in 1974 was infuckingcredible...
🤩💫
Here's a suggestion Steve Miller Band "The joker" "Take the money and run" "Fly like an eagle" "Jet airliner" "Swingtown" "Rock'n me" "Jungle love"
I've just seen Rick Wakeman performing this song with his own band, including his son Adam. The song is still amazing.
Where did you see Rick and is he still grumpy?😊😊😊
He is touring the UK. I saw him at Symphony Hall Birmingham. He was very ungrumpy, especially when his son took an awesome solo. He looked like a very proud dad.
Everything you said about what you like from music back then, applies to Progressive bands like Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, Supertramp, and Led Zeppelin. When I think of my favorite Classic Rock like these bands, I think of Rock, with Classical music elements. It's rock, like you said, with individual movements and time signature changes, tied together with lush, unique instrumentation and flawless transitions. All of Classic Rock isn't like that, but all of Progressive Rock certainly is. You need to react to Supertramp, starting with their early, moody music like "School" or "Rudy" from their Crime of the Century album, which really ought to be listened to in one sitting. And ALWAYS listen to their studio stuff, not live.
YES❣️The greatest band on this or any other planet❣️❣️❣️🪐🪐🪐⭐️⭐️⭐️🎵🎼🎶🔈🔉🔊👍😎
Another convert 214 👑
Another legendary band/song from the history books - don't sleep on their later stuff as well. 90125 and Big Generator have some bangers too! #shoothighaimlow
The Ladder and Magnification 😊😊
I truly believe you are blessed if you relish Yes, you are different from the rest, in a great way of course,it is definitely special 😊😊
You are digging into all that great prog rock!
Rock= 3 chords played repetitively. Progressive rock= not just longer but not repetitive. It’s a story or a journey, progressing from start to finish. Kudos to you my young brother!
I was lucky enough to see them play this many times. Incredible. They used to open the show with Siberian Khatru which is on this album. That would be a great next song, but definitely go back to Fragile album.
Progressive Rock is sort of a wide ranging catch all. In the 70's the music business and radio business were tied together much more than today. The 3 to 4 minute song was still king, and FM radio was still in its early childhood. AM radio was still king in the 60's. The 70's transitioned to FM for its new higher quality technology, and the commercial introduction of "stereo" on FM stations opened up a lot of time slots for air play. Also consumer radios were becoming better and more affordable. Again, technology change where consumer radios with transistors were taking over from vacuum tube equipment. (Yes, stereo was a new thing commercially in the late 60's).
The growth of FM drove a lot of the explosion in the music business. Stations were also transitioning to being 24/7/365 businesses, something that was more common in large cities started being a thing in the smaller markets. More empty hours needing content. In steps progressive rock, with long play songs, and full albums, many of them two discs. Space and time filler, in stereo and hi fidelity. Just what FM radio stations needed. The air time allowed bands to experiment with longer form content. Progressive rock is a child of its time in history. Also a lot of jazz, funk, blues, country, classical, and pop.
If you like early keyboard and synth sound, dip into Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. After you get done with Yes.
FWIW, I saw you also sampled Boston. I like to think of that album as the beginning of the transition into studio focused/produced music versus live music.
Yeah Jon Anderson said that it wasn't so much what the lyrics meant, but more of how they sound.
I was really hoping you'd get to this one. It's my favorite Yes song, and wasn't at all easy to pick just one favorite. A unique feeling and experience to listen to it for sure 😁
Common musical characteristics in prog rock: rhythm changes, key changes, multiple instruments, changes in dynamics, lyrics with deeper meaning. The Led Zeppelin song Stairway to Heaven can be regarded as prog on these criteria.
The guitar you asked about in the beginning of the song is a 12 string acoustic guitar.
Top 5 song in the history of music, from the best band in history, and 1 song from the best album in history. Not everyone will agree with me, and I'm OK with that. Love ya anyway.
That was good advice concerning Jon's lyrics; I like to think of it as several related thoughts linked together into a song. He doesn't write lyrics that tell a story, like other bands. The lyrics are simply thoughts and feelings linked together into a full song. Once you accept that, it's more enjoyable listening to the music as a whole. My all-time favorite group; my all-time favorite album; IMHO, the greatest complete album ever released, by anyone. My favorite song (isn't on this album) is Starship Trooper.
You have a good pair of ears young man, acute perceptions and a nice voice! 🐱
I would recommend the whole album! Another tune to checkout from Fragile is South side of the Sky. ROCK ON BRO!
I'm 58 year old. My oldest brother bought this album when it came out, I was about 7 and instantly loved it and still do. Welcome to the world of astounding music.😊
This whole album is great 3 songs first "Close to the Edge" This song "And you and I" and " Siberian Khatru" I recommend finishing out this album So next up would Be Siberian Khatru. Thanks for reacting To YES its great to see this music live on!
Oh to me progressive rock means they don't follow rules of normal music like constant Count and can go into different places, but with YES it makes sense its just not changing beats to change it actually goes places that means something.
Awesome reaction! Im 22 so we're in the same age group, and i can tell you this is by far my favorite band. I suggest listening to a few more of these length songs before getting into their longer pieces like the title track of this album, Gates of Delirium, and Awaken to get a better feel for their music. But if you really grow to like them, you're gonna love those monster tracks. There is nothing like it
Got it thank you! Happy to know someone in the same age group can help provide suggestions and insight thank you
@@MDreeezy Absolutely man! Like i said there's nothing that sounds like Yes. They're all classically trained/top musicians so its definitely for those who appreciate higher musicianship. My suggestion is starting with songs off 'The Yes Album' and 'Fragile' and moving forward from there.
I like your style! 👏😁
Soo…Progressive Rock-it is all those things you said..but Prog rock is about experimentation-No limits-orchestras, electric and acoustic guitars, All types of keyboards, some classical themes- not to mention All the time changes! Like I said-they did whatever they wanted! And YES is # 1!❤
Not sad....melancholy!
Agree with "melancholy" but, melancholy mixed with hope. :)
one of the best live bands ever. I don´t understand "reacters".
Progressive Rock doesn't follow normal rhythm patterns,,,,it changes often. Usually it'll come back to a common cord progression to let you know it's still the same song. 👍🤪
Listeing to YES for the first time is like being introduced to Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin for the first time to a modern audience, as is an introduction to the Moody Blues. I grew up during this early era of progressive rock, and I am so blessed because of this. I turned my two sons on to this music in the late 90's and early 2000's, and they got it.
"Prog" isn't necessarily about length of song, other than a sense that bands wanted to break out of being forced by the music industry to seek commercial success through 3 minute songs that all the kids would buy. It just so happened that a) after the Beatles' Sgt Pepper (1967) music industry execs were prepared to support bands like Yes in their explorations and b) the music-buying public were interested enough to spend money on the music. But that sense of exploration inevitably became more remote and self-justifying on the back of that success, so "listen to this 20 minute song so I can keep driving my Rolls Royce" didn't cut it, and the music-buying public turned to punk and disco.
"Progressive" was rock that would entertain you while you were sat at home getting high. Whereas rock had originally been dance music and short songs for radio shows, as you said, so Yes and others did albums rather than singles.
Actually, prog rock originally was called classical rock back in there dim days.
@@lesblatnyak5947 Well, I'm English and I don't remember anyone saying "classical", but maybe some people did.
@@andymccracken4046 and I'm old and Canadian
Indeed, @@andymccracken4046, not in the UK
good prog rock should illicit and my an emotional
sad in a good way = meloncholy
One other song you should check out... awaken . By yes.
Well done, Dreezy! We asked, and we received. When I was a young lad (back in 1972), listening to this album (and many others at the time), I thought the music of the future was going to be amazing! Then came disco, then rap, then electronic. What TF happened? Anyway, I digress...there's 2 more songs on this album that will knock your socks off... "Close to the Edge" and "Siberian Khatru". Too bad you listened to the "middle of the album" first, but...no matter. Wise choice on the deluxe edition also.
Wow ❤ Very Relaxing 😎☮️
Sssssssssssshhhhhh
