Hasn’t left the disc player since I put away the Christmas music. And it’s one of only three cds I keep in the car(gotta replace that one with the Rhino expanded edition). You’re correct, it never gets old.
This song is one of the most influential and important in Music History! From the complexities and musical compositions, every musician going forward after this took something from this song! And this was in 1972! 👀. Yes, thank you for creating this Masterpiece and inspiring so many musicians to follow ❤️😎
I remember when Jamel reacted to this, he was entranced...... This is definitely a song that can take you many places, & awaken parts of your mind & soul that are usually on autopilot...
Great reaction! Yes is musical geniuses making genius music. Keep going to side B. Those two tracks are equally as amazing! The Yes well goes very deep. I look forward to your discoveries!
@@kurtboyer299 The original drum track may well be impossible to replicate, especially-every- night. Alan White played Close To The Edge on many tours for Yes. Bill only a couple, few times. The Alan v. Bill debate could go on forever as indeed it may. I’ve settled on being happy Yes were so fortunate to have such great drummers supporting the band.
This Masterpiece has sustained me through life's up and downs for 50 years now and I'm still Close to the Edge, but I've found light at the end of the tunnel. 🎶🕊🫴🇨🇦 🎶
Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Squire and YES, the greatest show on earth. Brilliant reaction! It brought tears to this silver top's soul. A YES song I've been dancing to for 53 years is Roundabout off the Fragile album. Enjoy your divine journey with YES 🎶🙏🎶
In an interview, Jon Anderson, the lead vocalist talked about how Eddie Offord the sound engineer, had strips of tape recordings, all labeled, and arranged on a board for later splicing, and had also left some pieces on a table, and during the night, the cleaning lady for the studio had scooped the strips on the table up, and thrown them away with the rest of the trash. The next day they came in, and realized that several pieces were missing, and someone realized that a few were on the table, and probably got thrown away, so they had to dumpster dive to get the tape pieces back. Eddies contribution to the recording, as the engineer, and with the band throughout the 70's cannot be overlooked, he was also a Master at his craft as well.
YES is the greatest progressive rock band in my opinion. I just subscribed. I subscribe to anyone who reacts to them as will many other YES fans so keep them coming. Loads of greats including "Roundabout", "Awaken", "The Gates of Delirium", "And You and I", "Turn of the Century", "Starship Trooper", "Perpetual Change", "The Revealing Science of God", lots more.
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to be in my teens to hear so many artists come out with such creative simply amazing music. No other time since the 70's have so many artists started their musical endeavor. And yes, YES was a very captivating, musically stimulating band that fit so well with the times.
This is the finest piece of music ever created by humans beings. Best band ever. From the best album ever. The remaining 2 songs on this album are great also. JMHO.
At 11:04 "It feels like I'm going through different phases of life here". Indeed. Here's my take on those "phases": Anderson said the lyrics were inspired by Hermann Hesse's 1922 novel "Siddhartha", which charts a journey of self-discovery and spiritual realisation, so... It opens with the peaceful sounds of nature, followed by the chaos of individual life in human society, the search for spiritual enlightenment, the notion that it cannot be found in human society ("Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space, He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race, I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place"), and ending with the sounds of nature one again (the Buddhist idea of enlightenment as being one with nature). The end of the journey was thus there at the beginning, all along. But while the author has attained that higher spiritual plane, they are still physically bound to the material reality of their lower, Earthly existence; so as seasons pass by: I get up, I get down. Released in 1972; 50 years after the novel, and now 50+ years ago, but still timeless.
I'm glad you enjoyed this. I've been enjoying it for over fifty years now. And it still sounds as fresh and as energetic as it did the first time I heard it. You asked a great question early on in the performance; something like, "How do you even go about writing a 20 minute piece of music?" Well, they did it. I don't know how, but to my ears this is as relevant as it has ever been, maybe more considering the pathetic state of popular music today.
Hi man, enjoyed your reactions. First heard this at 12 or 13, still stays with me. The church organ just takes me back to the cathedral on a Sunday. That whole weight of heaven hanging over you. Love from Scotland.
I saw Yes in the mid 70’s at the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Arena..saw many of the great bands of that era, went to countless shows. Yes IMO opinion was the most talented band I saw, they had a rotating circular stage and each amazing musician would be rotated by you throughout. Insanely talented band!! All time great prog band for sure
IMO The greatest prog rock track of all time! I saw Yes play this live. I've been lucky enough to see all the prog rock greats, Yes are the GOATs and always so uplifting. This song starts seemingly out of control with a band trying to bring it all under control. Thank you for reacting to Close to the Edge! Would recommend Awaken next!
The somewhat chaotic beginning of this trsck is almost like a sonic pallet warmup to acclimate the listener for the journey they are about to embark on. Possibly the greatest progressive rock song ever composed . 5 of the mist talented individuals in rock history that used to perform this masterpiece live in jaw dropping delivery. Instrumentally and vocally perfect. When YES was on top of their game, they seemed super natural. Try “Roundabout “ next for a different yet extremely welcoming serving of Yes.
Great choice mate👍 Great to see the diverse listening audience this is now attracting.... keep on the journey👊 Keep on listening to this over and over..... it never gets old and you always hear something different every time you listen to it.
One of the best songs no compositions I have ever heard. It is just as amazing now as it was when it came out. This is truly a case where they don't make them like this anymore. Unless you go to classical music or maybe jazz, but there are no rock bands that can do this any more.
Been a huge yes fan since 72. Great catalog, and Chris Squires solo album Fish Out of Water is absolutely incredible. Probably nothing like you've ever heard. Hope you find time to listen to it. Lead bass is something to behold❤️
It’s all about the sounds: that voice, those instruments, that composition. Indeed, the music Yes made between 'The Yes Album' and 'Tales from Topographic Oceans' approached a level of elation that not many bands were able to approximate... This song really does go places no other band has done; or rather, it’s a gold standard that was never surpassed... Every aspect of this, the consummate Yes song, in terms of conception and delivery, is virtually flawless: from the slow-burning build-up to the crashing intensity of the first several minutes, to the operatic (yes, I said it) majesty of the middle section, (“I get up, I get down”), to the effulgent conclusion, bringing the end right back to the beginning before fading out... “Close to the Edge” maintains an unprecedented (and unparalleled) force of conviction that never flags: it’s just under 19 minutes of ceaselessly renewed ecstasy. - edited from PopMatters
Great reaction to one of the most orchestrated, complex epics in rock history. No rock band will ever achieve anything like this again. So much time, talent and hard work went into this. The sound was terrific by the way, no issues with your sound.
The way I look at Close to the Edge is that it an amazing piece of musical art. So original and needs a few listens just to wrap your head around what you are listening to. Yes has so many amazing songs. This song should not have been your first Yes song you have to build up to this. I would try Roundabout or Starship Trooper next. By the way great reaction.
Yeah the process was straining. So much do the drummer quit after it was complete. He couldn’t handle “the process”. He is a great drummer! Bill Bruford.
Great reaction to my favorite all time musical Masterpiece! And thats since age 16,and im 62 now. As other have said , Side B top notch as well!. And Yes has so many other classics from the 70s to experience . I usually dont recommend diving into CTTE first, most start with Roundabout, but you did it!
Glad you enjoyed it but, trust me, listen to it a few more times and you’ll come to appreciate it even more. The song is indeed a journey and (if you see it that way) quite spiritual. Now 70 years old, this “masterpiece” is (in my mind) the greatest composition of all time. Jon Anderson’s vocals are unparalleled, Chris Squires bass and backup vocals are outstanding and Rick Wakeman is a wizard on the keyboards. Thanks for the review and giving us the opportunity to listen to this awesome track once again!
“I feel like I am going through different phases of life.” Oh, buddy, they are just getting started. 😃 Don’t try to figure it out. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
after the middle interlude that is a real pipe organ in a real cathedral. Rick Wakeman the keyboard wizard. All throughout the album. Chris Squire on the monster Rickenbacker bass
'Close To The Edge' is my favorite Yes album. Furthermore, it is among my top three or four favorite albums, period. Ironically, my favorite Yessong is probably 'Starship Trooper' from 'The Yes Album', but I digress. Anyway, 'Close To The Edge' (the whole album) is a transcendent experience and an absolute masterwork.
Sounds great !! One of the best pieces of music written in the 20th century. It is a true blend of modern and classical music.. First, the lyrics of the early Yes songs is not very relevant, the voice is more of an instrument. The stuff is very trippy, the lead singer Jon Anderson is a yoga and meditation hippy. This song is a metaphor for the Bands history. Chaos as they talk about forming a band and what it would be like, with a breakout of various melodies as they write and develop a catalog. The tours start with the first Down by the river.. The are spaces after each tour and time for, and sounds of, new development. As the song progresses they mirror the success with a sound that is more regal and elevating.
If I only had one song to listen to for the rest of my life it would be this. The more one listens to it, the more one gets out of it, and the bigger the journey one takes. There is always something new between beginning and end...it transcends time.
you started with maybe the best yes song but many would say Roundabout but all their songs are fantastic. You will see that Bach, Mozart are all with us. Progressive rock is classical. You have to hear it a few times to get use to itl.....
Yes is really the best, nobody like them. You dove in at the deep end though. This song is wild and unusual, with so many changes, it really takes listening a bunch of times to really get songs like this. I recommend going a little earlier and listen to Roundabout, then Starship Trooper, then Heart Of The Sunrise. Then do more of the longer epics, anything else on Close To The Edge, Relayer, and Going For The One. Then do a few 80's hits from their 90125 album.
Many groups and artists need deep dives not one offs. Certain groups need really deep dives. YES, Peter Gabriel/Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, PF and more.
Mug!! Great pick for a band to review. Awesome musicians and a wide selection and variety of style. Sonic in all their tunes. A music enthusiast knows Yes immediately. Great review of this one! If you look for another vintage Yes song that has a constant DRIVING rhythm, check out Tempus Fugit, crank it to 11 in your car and you can't do the speed limit. Trust me bro. Peace.
"I think"...THIS is the best song on the best album ever created. PLEASE react to the other 2 songs on this album..."And You and I" and "Siberian Khatru".
My first thought after seeing the TH-cam thumbnail- oh man he just heard it! Jamel, is the philosopher of the reactors. And the keyboard solo towards the end, does *not* suck and it grabs your attention. It took me the 41st time listening to it to understand the background music complements the solo so effortlessly.
Can't wait to see your reaction to this my first thing I saw was your covering of Van Halen to and I didn't remember if the song was on that album I'm 55 and old LOL but they were my first concert ever
If you think of YES especially the bigger longer songs, as a classical composition like Beethoven or Mozart, then you will get the composition more clearly. Instead of thinking of the as separate parts think of them as a whole piece with variations upon a central theme each part or section may sound like a different song but YES does tie them together along the way if you listen carefully. There are interludes, passages, motifs.
Now you just have to listen to it a thousand more times. It never gats old.
Hasn’t left the disc player since I put away the Christmas music. And it’s one of only three cds I keep in the car(gotta replace that one with the Rhino expanded edition). You’re correct, it never gets old.
You're absolutely right. It only gets new.
A Masterpiece. 100+ years from now, people will be listening to it, & calling this "Classical Prog." With reverence, like with Chopin and Beethoven.
Just imagine sitting down in 1972 putting on this album and just living this for the very first time.
Sure did on lsd
Yup, that was me in 1971!!!
Well late 1971
This song is one of the most influential and important in Music History! From the complexities and musical compositions, every musician going forward after this took something from this song! And this was in 1972! 👀. Yes, thank you for creating this Masterpiece and inspiring so many musicians to follow ❤️😎
Yes. They did this live!
Still as magnificent as it was in the Seventies.
This is music that will change you... if you let it. 🙂
A lifelong obsession for me. They channel the divine here ❤
Best band, ever. Period.
@@YESFan1971
100% You couldn't put five better musicians together.
So happy you enjoyed this magical piece....thank you ......
I remember when Jamel reacted to this, he was entranced......
This is definitely a song that can take you many places, & awaken parts of your mind & soul that are usually on autopilot...
Speaking of "Awaken"...
Great reaction! Yes is musical geniuses making genius music. Keep going to side B. Those two tracks are equally as amazing! The Yes well goes very deep. I look forward to your discoveries!
And they played this live just like this.
Absolutely correct. I only saw Squire and White 36 times and was reborn every time.
They played it better live.
If you think about it, it’s astonishing. ❤
Respectly disagree. No way for Mr. White to reproduce CTTE drum track. He labored at first, but by the 90s his new groove for it was spooky good.
@@kurtboyer299
The original drum track may well be impossible to replicate, especially-every- night.
Alan White played Close To The Edge on many tours for Yes.
Bill only a couple, few times.
The Alan v. Bill debate could go on forever as indeed it may.
I’ve settled on being happy Yes were so fortunate to have such great drummers supporting the band.
One of my all time favorite pieces of music. Thank you for your assessment, and insight into an amazing piece of music.
One of the best albums ever recorded. Yes is my favorite band ever. ☮️❤️😎🎼
PROG ROCK MASTERPIECE
This Masterpiece has sustained me through life's up and downs for 50 years now and I'm still Close to the Edge, but I've found light at the end of the tunnel.
🎶🕊🫴🇨🇦 🎶

Being 70 I listen to this in high school. I knew it was great music, but I had no clue that 50 years later it gets better each time.
YES is the greatest progressive rock band in my opinion. I just subscribed. I subscribe to anyone who reacts to them as will many other YES fans so keep them coming. Loads of greats including "Roundabout", "Awaken", "The Gates of Delirium", "And You and I", "Turn of the Century", "Starship Trooper", "Perpetual Change", "The Revealing Science of God", lots more.
Loved the track and loved your reaction. Cheers.
It's a spiritual journey. Every. Single. Time. - Keep enjoying this one. It's a gift from thre Universe. ;)
Yes is what you call Progressive Rock. Prog Rock for short. I love the bass in this song.
This whole album is beautiful.
One of my top 2 works of art. Both of which are songs written by Yes. You are stepping off in the deep end musically with Yes.
So good, this music never will die! I loved it and love it still.
Yes it should be among your top two favorite songs 😊😊
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to be in my teens to hear so many artists come out with such creative simply amazing music. No other time since the 70's have so many artists started their musical endeavor. And yes, YES was a very captivating, musically stimulating band that fit so well with the times.
We loved this as sixteen year olds too!

Released in 1972; 50 years after the novel, and now 50+ years ago, but still timeless.
"Close To The Edge" by YES was released September 13th, 1972 in the USA and September 8th, 1972 in England (The UK)
This is in the top ten prog songs of all time in my opinion. What a journey this song is
I'm glad you enjoyed this. I've been enjoying it for over fifty years now. And it still sounds as fresh and as energetic as it did the first time I heard it.

You nailed it! Witnessing the Process of Living as it unfolds
Hearing this live is like ascending to the heaven should be

''Endless Dream'' from Yes is an epic must listen to.

The sound was terrific by the way, no issues with your sound.
Nerd's with a bunch of electronic toys and this is what you get,WOW😮
Yeah you know those gadgets that didn't EXIST back then😄

Yes has so many amazing songs. This song should not have been your first Yes song you have to build up to this. I would try Roundabout or Starship Trooper next. By the way great reaction.
Glad you liked it. The audio on your recording seemed good to me.
"Acid Trip" may be an understatement. LoL
"How do you conjure up a song of eighteen minutes of...wow?" Keep listening. The rest of the album is more abbreviated, but just as much wow!
Do Not make your decision about the track until at least 10 listening's. It is a piece of music that gets better with every listen.
Yeah the process was straining. So much do the drummer quit after it was complete. He couldn’t handle “the process”. He is a great drummer! Bill Bruford.
My Favorite Band Ever!

It may not be the best song any of us ever heard... But, probably the best musical experience.
Then again it may just be the best song we’ve ever heard.❤
Still for me the best prog song, if you give it a chance. A true classic, if you consider its age. Thanks for the review.

Oh and Yes was the first concert I ever went to in Seattle. I think the tickets were 5 bucks!
I enjoyed your airplane metaphor. That works well.
Sounds great !! One of the best pieces of music written in the 20th century. It is a true blend of modern and classical music..
First, the lyrics of the early Yes songs is not very relevant, the voice is more of an instrument. The stuff is very trippy, the lead singer Jon Anderson is a yoga and meditation hippy.
This song is a metaphor for the Bands history. Chaos as they talk about forming a band and what it would be like, with a breakout of various melodies as they write and develop a catalog. The tours start with the first Down by the river.. The are spaces after each tour and time for, and sounds of, new development. As the song progresses they mirror the success with a sound that is more regal and elevating.
🎉
If I only had one song to listen to for the rest of my life it would be this. The more one listens to it, the more one gets out of it, and the bigger the journey one takes. There is always something new between beginning and end...it transcends time.
Got you
gods only commercial interlude
you started with maybe the best yes song but many would say Roundabout but all their songs are fantastic. You will see that Bach, Mozart are all with us. Progressive rock is classical. You have to hear it a few times to get use to itl.....
QUITE SIMPLY...GOAT....
Go ahead. React to the rest of the album!
Yes is really the best, nobody like them. You dove in at the deep end though. This song is wild and unusual, with so many changes, it really takes listening a bunch of times to really get songs like this. I recommend going a little earlier and listen to Roundabout, then Starship Trooper, then Heart Of The Sunrise. Then do more of the longer epics, anything else on Close To The Edge, Relayer, and Going For The One. Then do a few 80's hits from their 90125 album.
Chris squire r.i.p.
Many groups and artists need deep dives not one offs. Certain groups need really deep dives. YES, Peter Gabriel/Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, PF and more.
A year ago King Crimson got me copyright struck, but Yes, Peter Gabriel, ELP those my peoples
1969/72' era is the best. They where way ahead of their time.
One of the best Transitional bands ever! The other side is just as good!
Mug!! Great pick for a band to review. Awesome musicians and a wide selection and variety of style. Sonic in all their tunes. A music enthusiast knows Yes immediately. Great review of this one! If you look for another vintage Yes song that has a constant DRIVING rhythm, check out Tempus Fugit, crank it to 11 in your car and you can't do the speed limit. Trust me bro. Peace.
"I think"...THIS is the best song on the best album ever created. PLEASE react to the other 2 songs on this album..."And You and I" and "Siberian Khatru".
My first thought after seeing the TH-cam thumbnail- oh man he just heard it!
Jamel, is the philosopher of the reactors. And the keyboard solo towards the end, does *not* suck and it grabs your attention. It took me the 41st time listening to it to understand the background music complements the solo so effortlessly.
you are correct,the sound is very "tinny" sounding. Thanks!
Yes. The greatest prog band
Can't wait to see your reaction to this my first thing I saw was your covering of Van Halen to and I didn't remember if the song was on that album I'm 55 and old LOL but they were my first concert ever
Shout out Jamel
If you think of YES especially the bigger longer songs, as a classical composition like Beethoven or Mozart, then you will get the composition more clearly. Instead of thinking of the as separate parts think of them as a whole piece with variations upon a central theme each part or section may sound like a different song but YES does tie them together along the way if you listen carefully. There are interludes, passages, motifs.
“Taking my ears on an adventure” …. you need to copyright that
Watch a live version sometime. You have good thoughts on songs. Good video.
Answer to your question: YES.
I am a huge Yes fan and love this album to death but the middle section on occasion i will fast forward. I need the energy.
Told you wrong. 4:44 performance by CLUTCH "ELECTRIC WORRY" not 4:14
Jamel only interrupted this once for a few seconds. This is music that should not be interrupted.
Damn ... that. was long. (Try "Going for the one" next.) Thanks!
I hope you've had the opportunity to try shrooms or acid. Lol. Side note lol.
