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..
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"
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.
No autotune, no backing tracks, no stupid choregraphed dancing...... just sheer talented musicians. Yes in their prime. With Wakeman or Moraz, Yes were absolutely brilliant. So glad I grew up with this great music.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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..
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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))))
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
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.
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.
Reminds me why Yes are hands down my favorite band! Awesome musicianship! And Steve Howe used to actually tolerate Chris squire on his side of the stage....
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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

With my brother peter Liverpool empire Magical Yes Yes❤

This is colossal prog rock by genius experts. Awesome.
When they started the song, it was daytime. By the end, it was getting into the night.

Many Yes songs are larger than the whole Bible.
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

49 for me
Who are listining to this masterpiece in 2024?
I have loved YES for 50 years. I will always love YES until my dying day....
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..
The fact that Yes could pull off these magnum opuses off on stage made them immortal.
Good to see more people talking positive about Patrick Moraz's contribution to Yes. I think he did a GREAT job here.
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.

THIS IS NOT ONLY PROGRESSIVE ROCK THIS, THIS IS THE PROGRESSIVE LIFE!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Best music ever, along with CTTE.
Im on my 6th viewing. That makes in my opinion over 100,000 fans rocking out to this.
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
No autotune, no backing tracks, no stupid choregraphed dancing...... just sheer talented musicians. Yes in their prime.
With Wakeman or Moraz, Yes were absolutely brilliant. So glad I grew up with this great music.

I always say YES was CSN but with incredible rhythm and instrumental arrangements...
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.
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.
Saw this 75 and 76 Roosevelt Stadium Jersey City .15th and 16th Summer's .I am truly blessed
Nobody does build-ups to blissful crescendos quite like YES !!!
Amazing analysis, it's utter genius isn't it?
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..
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!
This is not an obscure song for fans of Yes!
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!
Truly.
one of my favorite records from yes Relayer!
I saw yes 17 times and loved it every time
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....
Patrick really makes that Hammond roar!!! His synth sequences are perfect..
I´m 24 and i love this kind of music...
Im 34 and I dont care
You have a great musical taste, you’re intelligent and keen.
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!
Yes was some of the most talented musicians ever. Cincinnati loves yes .
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!
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.
I went to a concert just to hear this song. And i cried from joy.
This album, as well as 'Close to the edge' are, in my opinion, by far the best works of YES
Agree.
Relayer to me is the true sequel to Close to the edge. Same structure, same brilliance. Tales from topographic was its own thing
Jon's voice is amazing in this!
An underrated Yes gem, performed immaculately :)
IMHO I don’t think it’s underrated.
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!!
What a farkin' excellent band..... !!!!!
An audio and visual treat. You wouldn't get any bands doing great music like that now.
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.
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.
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 !!!
chet dempski we still have these people but in a bitter Sweet way🧖♀️ I'm great full I can watch them and think wow they are still great
You said it. TT2022 YHWH
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
Bad Ass! They pull off this extremely difficult song flawlessly live! Bravo!
Thanks for share.. Great YES...EVER...THE BEST PROGRESIVE ROCK BAND...Great quality and sound
Seeing chris again make me so happy. What nice hair. Jon too.
Wow. The BEST!
This song is beyond words. Superb!!
Oh yes, it is.....!!!!
Saw all Pittsburgh concerts. Favorite all time band
Squire the heart and soul of this great band
I wonder if you talk to Steve Howe about this
I bet ge would say all three songs on Relayer were master class compositions
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.
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
The greatest piece of music of all time ... only after listening to it and realizing it will one actually see this ;) be blessed
Thanks for uploading this! It's the only acceptable LIVE performance of GoD I've ever heard.
This DVD was easily one of the best live DVD's I have ever purchased. Thank you for this.
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.
I cried slowly reviewing Chris, thanks forever !!!!
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.
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!

Never has there been a more engrossing live group than YES! Never.

This was amazing to watch. I wish it had gone into "Soon."
I bought the vinyl the moment it came out . . .instant magic!
Reminds me why Yes are hands down my favorite band! Awesome musicianship! And Steve Howe used to actually tolerate Chris squire on his side of the stage....
It seems like there was a lot more interaction and smiles, especially back then. What a shame 😢

BANDA SUPER TÉCNICA...MARCA REGISTRADA DO ROCK PROGRESSIVO...SOON - OBRA PRIMA DO YES...
Amazing.
They were on this tour when I saw them. Relayer is a towering artistic achievement. They were as gods back then.
Saw them in 2001 in Vancouver, performing "Gates of Delirium". Without a doubt, it was the highlight of the concert.
Cary Heuchert That might have been the first and last year they'd played it since 1976 eh?
Sonzeira! Nem todas as bandas atuais juntas não fazem um som desses...
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.

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.

Impressionante lavoro musicale. È un capolavoro!

Their music stands up so well over all these years. Complete pioneers 🔥
ARRRRRGGGGHHHH! Can't believe the ending was cut off! What a drag! They were soooo good!
🎉en Argentina recién ahora lo veo es magnífico como pueden hacerlo en vivo una maravilla
Best Album YES ever did
It is two great songs in one. Oh soon the light~
Gates of delirium: just brillant....
久々にじっくり聴きました。春になって雪解け水が山から里に溢れ流れてくるようなイントロにジョンアンダーソンの少年のような音色のボーカルがかぶさる。そんな曲のタイトルが｢錯乱の扉｣という不思議。
Patrick Moraz "came" four times (and I counted them)... wow... what an experience that must 've been between the monitors...
Such a great band...Got to see this live in Memphis in 1975...Amazing show
La performance de Anderson en este track es impresionante.
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!!!
Great song . One of my favorites by Yes .
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.
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.
Amazing!
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, ...
Procol harum are definitely early pioneers. They had a side long prog epic called “In held twas I” in 1968
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!
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!
