Just Pros who wrote it !! Lol Look at Y-tube now, there are so many talented people that can play every note of Guitar, Bass & Keyboards perfect !! Here is a guy doing the Bass just like Squire !! : D th-cam.com/video/OWobfxBI5_8/w-d-xo.html ... Enjoy
To all the older fans complaining about the mix I'm just happy to know as a 20 year old who never had a chance to see Yes back in the day I'm happy I can see some sort of documentation of Yes in the 70's regardless of the mix..
@@cmerton Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City NJ. As with all the 70's Yes live performances, they crushed the studio album's to dust. Moraz's warm-upriff tell's it all. th-cam.com/video/w9glBGeN3qQ/w-d-xo.html
Wow, they actually played "The Gates of Delirium" that well live! Unbelievable! I never thought I would see footage of my favorite, albeit somewhat obscure Yes song. Truly superb!
Sorry but l don't consider any song from Relayer obscure, even albeitly. Who's with me on the brilliance of Relayer. My eternal thanks for posting and bringing another concert attended what seems so long ago back to life. I'm in total agreement with superb!
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.
Waited all day in the sun, to see YES play later that night, as the top billing at a stadium concert in 1975. I will never forget that. It was magical.
I was fortunate to experience the Relayer tour in June 1975 at Long Beach Arena and SF Cow Palace. Grew-up listening to Yes, ELP, Genesis, Vangelis, Supertramp Camel and other prog rock groups. Those were indeed the days.
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"
Not one piece of sheet music among them- all by heart, with heart. Only just stumbled on this- being a fan for 40 years, kind of embarrassed. Awe inspiring performance .
My parents saw them in 75 and were right in front of Chris. They said his bass was so loud it felt like their hair was standing straight up. I’m a very jealous son.
saw this on the masterworks tour in st louis--closing section brought tears to my eyes--thought this is what byou might hear on the way to heaven after a life well lived..
Heaven has a new bass player. RIP Chris Squire. Saw their very 1st live performance of TGOD, late in 1974 at the Boston Garden. Patrick Moraz's 1st appearance with them. To this day I have only one word to describe that incredible night......RELIGIOUS !!!
My first time seeing YES was in 1970 and have since seen them 817 times since up to present 2024 and saved all my ticket stubs.. Every time they played gates i was more amazed each time. THANKS FOR OVER 54 YEARS OF MEMORIES
This was an absolute perfect performance. In fact, as intricate and complicated this piece is with it's myriads of chord changes and melody lines, I can hardly even believe that it's real. I am hard pressed to find a better live performance from anyone else.
Saw this from the floor of the Astrodome in the mid-1970's. Mom drove me and my date an hour from Conroe, and then waited in the car the entire concert.
I saw Jon at Woodstock this summer. The man still has the same sound. I saw YES in Chicago in ‘74. Seeing him this time took me backwards in time. A Wonderous Story, indeed.
Why compare musicians when you can have it all? The Gates of Delirium is a masterpiece of symph rock. I was 12 when they released it. Now I am 53 and still dig it like then!
relayer is my favorite YES album , this was their best years w/ Patrick Moraz on Keys!!!!! They were so good back then, soundchaser is my favorite song on the album, Gates and to be over are great to!
Мораз на клавишных более вменяемый и чёткий))) А по уровню игры не ниже Уэйкмана. Потому сам альбом Relayer на мой взгляд более вменяемый (хотя и более "тяжёлый") чем предыдущие. Разумеется, "эра Уэйкмана" неприкасаема))))
Even with the "sound problems" this is still one of the best of YES you'll ever hear/see. This line-up runs DEEP. GATES could never be pulled off by ANY other band period.
I wouldn't call Tales my favorite but it certainly up there among few others. Not an album for everyone, especially not critics. And that's all fine.Even the band had issues with it and among themselves at the time. The ugly duckling that turn out to be a swan. Good if you like swan.
WOW! It's a shame the mix is wonky but this performance is absolutely incredible. A+ performance all around! The way Jon's voice gets aggressive at those sections like around 5:00 is so kickass!
Wow... As a Yes lover who saw his first show in 1984 and then saw them many times afterwards, I must say that this performance sent me to the mountain tops.
The Gates of Delirium es de lo mejor de Yes y del siglo XX. Ojala las nuevas generaciones puedan apreciar este valioso aporte del Yes para todas las generaciones de jóvenes.
Essa música é muito pesada!!! Esse peso das músicas do rock progressivo é encantador!!!😱😍😍😱😍😱 Eu tive a sorte de conseguir esse disco em uma compra a cega!!! Obra prima!!
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.
This track blew me away in '75 and still does. Yes were my second top band to King Crimson. This would not have been out of place on one of their albums.
It is a masterpiece also without Wakeman, This is Yes at their most fierce, and this maybe due to Moraz, Relayer remains my favorite Yes-album, even after almost 40 years, it still sounds fresh, timeless and challenging.
Musicdudeyoutub 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
Saw them play this at the Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence, KS, Dec 6, 1974. The concert was delayed over an hour because a KU basketball team had to practice first. Was sailing on "chocolate mescaline" and entertaining my friends with a bunch of Firesign Theatre while we waited in the foyer. It had been raining steadily outside and by the time the main doors to the gym opened, way too many people had crowded into the foyer to get out of the rain. The crush to get into the gym was insanely intense and we narrowly avoided a Who-Cincinnati disaster. Once we got safely in, we chilled and the concert started. The music was awesome and the Roger & Martyn Dean fiberglass set pieces worked fantastically - what a crazy light show!
12:50 Epic Bass Line, Thanks Chris! 13:30 one of prog rock's most beautiful moments in time! Thank you Yes for the Years of service. Now we just need Anderson and Wakeman back with Howe, White and did I forget anyone ;o) J/K Chris (The Rock)! Cheers
One of Yes greatest moments, saw Gates... live for the first time in the late 70th and latest on the 35th tour, fantastic sound and they still could still make the house rumble!
Mark infla is mandatory that some berk on YT describes any musician as UR, and it's mandatory for someone to point out that it's just effin incorrect. Just how anyone can describe thusly someone who's repeatedly recognized as one of the greatest axe merchants is plain bonkers.
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, ...
Hari. 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!
It wasn't 1973, but I was blessed to see Chris Squire play live in 1997. His playing is a force that's forever unmatched. No question - no debate necessary. This is my favorite Yes song. Immortal.
Guess i'm the only one that actually Moraz' playing here..oh well I think this is great and would have loved to have been able to see this tour (or any of the 70s era shows for that matter /cry)
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.
I can hear Alan White kicking ass on the drums, but no one is filming him. What is that all about? Sure would have enjoyed seeing him doing those fast perfect rolls.
Back in the day, titanic, analog T.V. cameras were too large and unwieldy (with giant wiring, voltages, and small stage areas to fit in between giant P.A. stacks & drum risers) to get back there most of the time.
I saw this amazing 1975 tour in New York at the Nassau Coliseum. The soundboard recording in this video does not reflect the way the show actually sounded to the audience. I remember the show having a perfect sound mix. Also there was a very cool laser light show that shot out from the stage about 3 feet over our heads.
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!)
Saw this show in Milwaukee, great great show and great light show. Was just getting into Yes at that time, wish I would have known their music better at that time, but made up for it in the years to come. One of the greatest bands of all time, and definitely the greatest musicians. Today's music has nothing to compare to this.
I saw this tour and i was 14 at the time Saturday 19th of April in Glasgow my grandfather was dying and my big brother and i left him knowing we would never see hilm alive again but granpa wished us to have a great evening and said life must be loved and lived it was my first big concert 💔 😢 and during To be Over i saw the clock ⏰ and knew my granpa had passed on and over ive never felt like that ever and treasure it with all my heart ❤ when we returned home we knew he had passed on and when my mum told me what time he drew his last as my family were all with him it was the time i looked at the clock ⏰ an evening as such lives with you forever Yes were magnificent its as though they were playing for gramps and my brother and i truly wonderful ❤
Wonderous story
With my brother peter Liverpool empire Magical Yes Yes❤
Beautiful❤
This is colossal prog rock by genius experts. Awesome.
I've been listening to this for 20 years, and I still don't know how they managed to play it live, but it really works! What a bunch of geniuses!
Just Pros who wrote it !! Lol
Look at Y-tube now, there are so many talented people that can play every note of Guitar, Bass & Keyboards perfect !! Here is a guy doing the Bass just like Squire !! : D

Can you imagine the hours of rehearsal, practice, to do this stuff? Love it!
backstagebob1 ha no way, these seasoned pros got it on the 1st take.
Chuck Hanson sorry, I couldn't think of a wiseass reply.
PRESSUREWORKS 😁
See you at 6 again
When you're THAT talented - I don't think it takes too much rehersal or practice. By the way - I think this is their best album.
When they started the song, it was daytime. By the end, it was getting into the night.
Ypsilanti MI? That's where I saw this tour.

Wonderful so glade I grew up well from 16 till now listening to yes 46 years now
My first yes concert 1972. Never gets old listening to them
Im on my 6th viewing. That makes in my opinion over 100,000 fans rocking out to this.
My parents saw them in 75 and were right in front of Chris. They said his bass was so loud it felt like their hair was standing straight up. I’m a very jealous son.
I got a front row seat for their reunion tour. My hearing hasn't been the same. I think I would have been better of 20 or 30 rows back. It was loud.
Low frequency at high volume would actually blow your hair
Tony Levin did that to me at an early Peter Gabriel show.
I felt it in my bones..
I got to be in front of Steve in 75.
Loud but not close to Lemmy...my ears rang for days!
saw this on the masterworks tour in st louis--closing section brought tears to my eyes--thought this is what byou might hear on the way to heaven after a life well lived..

Saw this 75 and 76 Roosevelt Stadium Jersey City .15th and 16th Summer's .I am truly blessed
An audio and visual treat. You wouldn't get any bands doing great music like that now.
Nobody does build-ups to blissful crescendos quite like YES !!!
Amazing analysis, it's utter genius isn't it?
Saw this from the floor of the Astrodome in the mid-1970's. Mom drove me and my date an hour from Conroe, and then waited in the car the entire concert.
Patrick really makes that Hammond roar!!! His synth sequences are perfect..
The greatest piece of music of all time ... only after listening to it and realizing it will one actually see this ;) be blessed
mesmerizing piece of music! The Gates of delirium is definitely one of the best progressive rock songs of all times. it blows my mind away.
The fact that Yes could pull off these magnum opuses off on stage made them immortal.
I saw Jon at Woodstock this summer. The man still has the same sound. I saw YES in Chicago in ‘74. Seeing him this time took me backwards in time. A Wonderous Story, indeed.

Thanks for share.. Great YES...EVER...THE BEST PROGRESIVE ROCK BAND...Great quality and sound
This song is beyond words. Superb!!
Oh yes, it is.....!!!!
I have loved YES for 50 years. I will always love YES until my dying day....
I went to a concert just to hear this song. And i cried from joy.
I saw yes 17 times and loved it every time
Bad Ass! They pull off this extremely difficult song flawlessly live! Bravo!
Thanks for uploading this! It's the only acceptable LIVE performance of GoD I've ever heard.
Yes was some of the most talented musicians ever. Cincinnati loves yes .
the end is lost! the most important thing of this piece that i love over approx. 50 years is: ataraxia. once i was lucky to hear it live. lucky me!!
Even with the "sound problems" this is still one of the best of YES you'll ever hear/see. This line-up runs DEEP. GATES could never be pulled off by ANY other band period.
Maybe Gentle Giant......maybe....
Phenomenal song. The band sounds & looks great. Look no iPads on stage no lipsyncing no auto tune when bands played & looked like real musicians.
Well that's because it's Yes
I cried slowly reviewing Chris, thanks forever !!!!
Yes! Still my favourite piece of theirs outside of Topographic Oceans.... Critics got it all wrong with that one! ProgRock at it's ultimate best this!
John Murphy mine too
I totally agree. Tales is my favorite album not only by Yes but in any genre.
I wouldn't call Tales my favorite but it certainly up there among few others. Not an album for everyone, especially not critics. And that's all fine.Even the band had issues with it and among themselves at the time.
The ugly duckling that turn out to be a swan. Good if you like swan.
Agree. Tales is soooo underrated.
WOW! It's a shame the mix is wonky but this performance is absolutely incredible. A+ performance all around! The way Jon's voice gets aggressive at those sections like around 5:00 is so kickass!
I know! I was SHOCKED by this!
Like they'd gone punk-noise-rock, BEFORE it was invented!
I wonder if you talk to Steve Howe about this
I bet ge would say all three songs on Relayer were master class compositions
Jon's voice is amazing in this!
Wow... As a Yes lover who saw his first show in 1984 and then saw them many times afterwards, I must say that this performance sent me to the mountain tops.
Chris Squire, The Sky has a new Star
It pisses me off that the R and R hall of fame waits until after he dies to induct YES , how can it be YES without Chris Squire ?
Ja.
Chris Squire: You left a Legacy of Love and Enlightment. We owe you all our knowledge of Intelligent Love. :-)
At there very best
Could not have said it any better. Touche.
This is the best video I have seen of his lead work. Wicked. Anyone who wants see how Steve Howe plays, this is the video.
An underrated Yes gem, performed immaculately :)
IMHO I don’t think it’s underrated.
Wow. The BEST!
The Gates of Delirium es de lo mejor de Yes y del siglo XX. Ojala las nuevas generaciones puedan apreciar este valioso aporte del Yes para todas las generaciones de jóvenes.
That musicianship. It's a symphonic poem of the highest quality - what a pity it stops abruptly. Chris Squire is amazing, as is every other.
Soon should have been included.
This DVD was easily one of the best live DVD's I have ever purchased. Thank you for this.
What a farkin' excellent band..... !!!!!
Seeing chris again make me so happy. What nice hair. Jon too.
Jon Anderson's voice is really raw and powerful in this performance. I like it better than the studio version.
Agree. I think the intensity fits the song far better than the "mellower" studio version, especially considering the subject matter.
Awesome. I love the sudden tempo change. Took a little while to get into Relayer, which I believe is the mark of a good album.
ARRRRRGGGGHHHH! Can't believe the ending was cut off! What a drag! They were soooo good!
I bought the vinyl the moment it came out . . .instant magic!
WOW - I thoughght Close to The Edge was powerful and then listened to this... these guys are something else that NO-ONE can touch. Mind=BLOWN!!!
This album, as well as 'Close to the edge' are, in my opinion, by far the best works of YES
Agree.
Such a great band...Got to see this live in Memphis in 1975...Amazing show
Essa música é muito pesada!!! Esse peso das músicas do rock progressivo é encantador!!!😱😍😍😱😍😱
Eu tive a sorte de conseguir esse disco em uma compra a cega!!! Obra prima!!
This was amazing to watch. I wish it had gone into "Soon."

Patrick Moraz "came" four times (and I counted them)... wow... what an experience that must 've been between the monitors...
Just bought a telecaster and I had to pull this gem up, and both kick ass by the way !.
Wow. No one sings like John
Squire the heart and soul of this great band
One of the best yes songs. One of the best songs ever.
Great song . One of my favorites by Yes .
This track blew me away in '75 and still does. Yes were my second top band to King Crimson. This would not have been out of place on one of their albums.
It is a masterpiece also without Wakeman, This is Yes at their most fierce, and this maybe due to Moraz, Relayer remains my favorite Yes-album, even after almost 40 years, it still sounds fresh, timeless and challenging.

Seen them 5 times between 1974 threw 1979 Steve Howe very underrated .Reylayer one of my favorite album from them

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, ...
Procol harum are definitely early pioneers. They had a side long prog epic called “In held twas I” in 1968

I can hear Alan White kicking ass on the drums, but no one is filming him. What is that all about? Sure would have enjoyed seeing him doing those fast perfect rolls.
Jim Cramer are your eyes closed look again, he gets some screen time. Looks like there's only 2 or 3 cameras, so comeone
Back in the day, titanic, analog T.V. cameras were too large and unwieldy (with giant wiring, voltages, and small stage areas to fit in between giant P.A. stacks & drum risers) to get back there most of the time.
Amazing.
I saw this amazing 1975 tour in New York at the Nassau Coliseum. The soundboard recording in this video does not reflect the way the show actually sounded to the audience. I remember the show having a perfect sound mix. Also there was a very cool laser light show that shot out from the stage about 3 feet over our heads.
Oh my goo'ness absolutely splendid. "Thanks" in any and all possible languages
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!)
Saw this show in Milwaukee, great great show and great light show. Was just getting into Yes at that time, wish I would have known their music better at that time, but made up for it in the years to come. One of the greatest bands of all time, and definitely the greatest musicians. Today's music has nothing to compare to this.
