      @johnwalker1089 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I only wish the band had stayed on this path. Absolutely no telling what they would have come up with! I like Wakeman but his gigantic day with Yes was CTTE. Fragile,GFTOand lots of Tormato are great but he was not into Topographic Oceans. He said lots of it was awful, threw darts with Black Sabbath in studio, did some work on their album and got paid with beer and then ordered curry in the middle of a show while touring. I like the direction they went with Moraz. I only wish they had kept him for some more music. Maybe the outdid themselves with Relayer. How do you follow something like this? Like Robert Plant sang in Going To California-" I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today"

    One element of Yes that never seems to get sufficient praise is their incredible vocal ability. Obviously Jon Anderson is seen as a special singer, but the harmonizing of Chris Squire and Steve Howe was always so dead on, so incredible in range, and all done on top of seriously complex guitar parts. That steady three part harmony always added so much to how they sounded, so impressive.

      Meaning the music was commercially successful, which does not necessarily imply that the goal was money first, music second.
      Isn't it kind of amazing that such a weird band was so successful? Yes is something of an anomaly. We should be grateful for that, not cynical about it.

      I think you misunderstood He was critisizing modern money based pop not YES. Secondly. Yes are not a weired group. In the 70's they were just about the biggest band on the circuit.
      If you want weired try King Crimson. Never as commercially successful. Just mega talented musicians asa lot of the 70/80's guys were/are

    Great to see Chris and Steve rocking out together at 12:00 while Jon gives Alan a run for his money on bonkers percussion. Thanks so much for posting!

      i never realized til now.....Jon is doing his "Jamie Muir" thing on that side percussion!
      (2 years earlier, Bill Bruford quit YES to join a new King Crimson, and Jamie Muir was their wild-man percussionist....but Jamie only lasted one year.....then went to be a monk! No way is Jon A not channelling that here!)

    Greatest symphonic rock band ever.
    They are the heaviest - without distortion - band ever.
    No one sounds as heavy as Yes with nothing but clean guitars!!
    Of course King Crimson, Genesis, Steve Hackett, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Rush, Asia, Peter Gabriel and a few others are right up there on top. Along with some other solo members of these bands.
    More recently Dream Theater though more metal than symphonic, Porcupine Tree, Iona - highly under-known underrated but fantastic with a beautiful Celtic flavor, The Flower Kings, Marillion, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, a bunch of operatic new bands could be mentioned and etc.etc.
    Early pioneers besides the above, that could be included:
    The Nice, The Move, Electric Light Orchestra, Gentle Giant, Steve Miller specifically "Children of the Future" and "Sailor", Soft Machine, The Who "Tommy", Mahavishnu Orchestra and Chick Corea's Electric Band though more jazz fusion, ...

      Exactly what it is: symphonic rock, entire classical compositions like a piece of well done art down to every detail. Lika old classical music, thus survives time. Just see newer generation discovers this music composed almost 50 years ago!

    Alan White's greatest overall contribution to Yes is Relayer hands down; especially Sound Chaser. He is almost as Jazzy as Bruford.Beautuful song along with Close To The Edge,The Revealing Science of God, and Awaken.Spiritual with power and it will surely enlighten you. It sure did to me.

    Funny you ask. I've been a bass player since I was 12 and played professionally in the 80's and 90's. Chris Squire was my teacher, mentor and favorite. Studied for a lifetime. Squire plays off the keyboards a lot so when the keyboard player changes so does his approach. The entire Relayer album is absolutely brilliant bass playing and impossible to master without using a pick. I'm still learning it and forever loving it. So in answer to your questions,......... YES!! Agreed.

    • @josbruls
      @josbruls 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      "Owner" was produced by a very different band (no Steve Howe, no Rick Wakeman).

    • @williamwinslow6582
      @williamwinslow6582 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jos Bruls No Wakeman here either --- Moraz. It is one thing that distinguishes Relayer from most classic Yes.

    • @josbruls
      @josbruls 9 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Absolutely right.
      I think that Moraz was into areas that Wakeman had not yet discovered. And Howe's guitar playing on Relayer sometimes sounds like Moraz's keyboards.

    • @bricebu
      @bricebu 9 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Yep. I love Wakeman, but Moraz brought something new, different, and completely worthwhile to the table. Howe's switch to Telecaster also helped define the new sound of Yes - the "relayer" sound.

    • @Pjaypt
      @Pjaypt 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      +Jos Bruls That's because, when Moraz joined the band, most of the music was already done (but not recorded); the songs were made without keyboards in mind, with guitars filling the role; and when Moraz came in, they adapted some of the guitar parts to the keyboards.
      So, in fact, it is Moraz's keyboard playing that resembles Steve's playing. Imho.

    You've got to hear the whole song together - it's essential. I remember when this came out how terrible I thought it was. The many years have brought great appreciation of this piece. To me most of the song is insane like war - and then Soon at the end the war is over and there's peace. But you got to hear the whole damn thing together to get the effect.

      @LarreeHollywood 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I had to go listen to the song... after reading this thread. Just to be sure I was reading it right. Yes was one of the greatest bands ever. The Yes Album is in my all-time most impactful and life-altering albums in my life mix. The string of albums released by Yes from The Yes Album to Relayer is perhaps the most amazing body of work ever recorded by anyone. And Soon, taken in the context of being the last song if you take it in order, is one of the most beautiful, tear-inducing melodies ever written. I can't believe anyone could hate it.

    Yeah....if only Beethoven would have skipped those 33 minutes of noodling in is 9th and gone straight to movement 4 he would have had something. If Wagner would have cut out all the crap and gone straight to Ride of the Valkyrie he would have had a tight little song. Really? Yes this mix leaves a lot to be desired and Moraz's sounds were a hell of a lot nicer in the studio but Jesus Christ! These guys were phenomenal! I saw this tour and it was transcendent in every way. Gates of Delirium was, and remains, an amazing piece of work, by courageous musicians who utilized each others strengths as well as any band ever.

      right on my friend, like in the movie Amadeus when the court composer said his opera had; "too many notes!" what a freakin joke, many folks don't get this era of Yes....its about bringing you though a very intense journey.....there is no "incoherent noodling" or "too many notes", there is just enough to portray the journey as envisioned!
