R.I.P. Mr Squire. Chris you are SO missed my friend. ⚘⚘⚘
and Alan 😓
You have to know their history and evolution of the band to understand how they got to 80s YES. Keep listening to their early stuff, there is a lot to hear.
My alltime favourite Yes song.
'91 Union Tour in the round. PHENOMENAL tour!
Hey 214, Yes first thing in the morning ain't life great
Chris is the meanest and most intense yet graceful bassist ever . To me ,miss him so much
Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth. Next on your journey to the altar of Yes should be the ultimate prog piece called CLOSE TO THE EDGE. A symphonic masterpiece and just one of eight such pieces. However if you want the most beautiful love song written, for your wife, a song called Turn Of The Century off the album Going For The One is a must and the best live version is off their 35th Anniversary Tour called Songs From Tsongas. Awaken from the same tour is also a must, hell anything from that tour is amazing. Saw Squire 36 times. RIP 👑 🙏
Man you are so lucky 36 times good God
Shows you how well I listened to FRAGILE in high school lol. I never got far past Roundabout on that record... didn't even know Heart Of The Sunrise was the last track. Awesome song!
Great. Anderson's voice & expressiveness is really good.
Thanks so much for share it, great song, performance and arrangement. Live
The Union tour was something special. For a while (after arguments) there had been two "Yes-Bands". One with Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe not allowed to call themselves Yes because Squire had the naming rights, and the "rightful" Yes with Squire, White, Rabin and Kaye. "ABWH" had already released a new album. A short time later the two bands "reunited". That's how the Yes album "Union" came about, and that's how it happened that there was an unusual amount of activity on stage.
I saw this tour live. The level of joy and work on the stage was "scary!" You have Bill Bruford (digital kit) and Alan White (acoustic kit) playing parallel. I remember how I was after this show: exhausted. It was (IIRC) about 2 1/2 hours. It was life changing ... and I was familiar with much of their catalog to that date. Yes: Union, and Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman & Howe (self titled) both stand up well.
As you journey into Yes, be prepared for there to be seemingly abrupt shifts in song themes and musical lines. There is always a point, but it may not be immediately obvious. ;-)
And, yes, Chris Squire is big and tall enough that he's holding a full-sized Rick like a ukulele, and flinging it around like a toy.
Good on you that is exactly right and Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe was a great album too!!! But yes that is why they decided to restart again, Union shows were just killer
Was a magical night 4 hrs of Yes music. Jon Andserson, Rick Wakemen, Late & great Chris Squire, & Alan White who passed away this May, Trevor Rabin, Tony Kaye, Steve Howe, Bill Bruford, all those members on stage at once, except Peter Banks & Trevor Horn, incredible, fantastic, performances, the sights & sounds of Yes Arco Arena Sacramnto CA 1991
Thanks Justin!
What a memory. Saw them during the Union tour in the Meadowlands in NJ. Got kicked off the Henry Hudson Parkway because we were in a pickup truck with commercial plates. Had no idea what to do after that but we made it to the show. Had to be around 1989 or so?
The 1991 Union tour brought together all 8 current, at the time, and former members of the band.
😎
The greatest band ever!!!
I believe the stage revolved slowly
Saw that tour. EPIC.
I was there during that tour. It was amazing!
I was lucky enough to see Yes on the Union tour in college in 1991. The band hadn't broken up, but had gone through several membership changes over the years, so this wasn't a "re"union tour, it was the Union of several generations of the bands' lineups, hence 2 drummers, 2 guitarists, etc. It was theater-in-the-round style, with a circular stage allowing for full-360 visibility of the entire band for the whole show from every seat in the house. The band made sure to play to every sector of the arena throughout the show. It was amazing.
Chris Squire was a beast with a base in his hands!!
The young, muscular guitarist, Trevor Rabin, is South African, and he brought that South African vibe to the band in the mid 1980's. For those of us that loved the 1970's Yes, we really had to change gears to get into. Needless to say, Steve Harris wouldn't have founded Iron Maiden, if they sounded like that, when he started listening to Yes.
Addendum: Same for Getty Lee and Rush
The round stage was great. For one thing: they can put an ass in every seat in the house, and it's a visual treat for the audience. I saw them in Ottawa the first time they performed in the round, the "Tormato" tour. It blew my AC/DC addled teenage mind. I already liked Yes and prog in general, but had no idea they could do that shit live. "Heart of the Sunrise" was definitely the highlight of that night for me, followed by "Awaken". I have to get this concert on DVD.
I wait for "You and I" every time I see Yes.
From one of the best tours EVER!! And “weird” parts? What? It is pure brilliance you are hearing. The most talented group of musicians…Chris Squire and his striped jacket, infamous. To be such a tall guy, and bigger than life live, and chatting with him, it suits his gracefulness on stage. I’ve been a rock jock since 80, and a concert goer since 74. Zep was my first, 6 th row center. Yes live is better than anyone. And I’ve seen literally everyone except U2. My fav band in the past 15 years or so is Motionless In White. They put on a great show. Chris is a great frontman for them…
You mentioned they have two drummers two bass players etc you may already know but this was the union tour where they brought all the previous and all the present and all the players that have ever been in yes together and they would bring them out at different points during the show and when they weren't on stage they would go under the stage and there were times when they would have just the old players just the new players and then all together on the stage at once it was incredible.
Yes is so amazing. I’m not sure why they skipped my attention when I was young. Now at 59 I’m digging deep and loving it. My father passed away and now I’m working a lot on his former home. I listen to Yes while doing all the construction solo. It’s cathartic and deep music. I may enjoy them because now I have an ear for Jazz, their music has all the sophistication with a rock sound.
It'll be good for you my friend I've always felt that Yes was a very spiritual band to begin with that's always good for the heart, & healing take care God Bless
You and I are the same age, music got me through a whole lot, I am the last living member of my family, one day it won't hurt sooo much, promise you that, sorry for your loss
Been a Yes fan since 1971 - age 18. I was lucky to see Yes live many times, including this Union tour show in Toronto. Classic prog has not been equaled, IMO.
I saw Yes live on their Union tour. So awesome!! This song is the final track from the Fragile album. Eighties Yes was very good but 70s Yes were on a different level completely.
I always enjoyed jammin this bass part out. Definitely a challenge. Keep in mind this has a lot of improv which is just fire.
I saw this concert when they came around to Philadelphia in the Spectrum. Alongside Peter Gabriel Secret World Live Tour it was the greatest concert I've ever seen.
Justin just read your bio. Well done ! Love your Fender on the wall, I played one in the 70s gave it to my best buds daughter.
I was at one of the London shows. I know there was a bit of aggro going on behind the scenes but for me this was probably the best concert I've ever seen.
Wow. I really liked that. Thanks!
Once you learn the song, and can anticipate each part, you can truly appreciate it. I'm in awe.
Union tour 91' featured all members of Yes, except Peter Banks & Trevor Horn. Best concert, my top three of all time. For me it
I was 21 when that Album released, Police had also just came out with a new album around the same time called Syncronicity, Men at Work Cargo, Rush had the Signals album on the charts, which was actually recorded in 82' but they were touring on the album in 83', Wang Chung, Howard Jones, there was a lot of good music beginning to arrive on the scene, if I'm not mistsaken Midnight Oil, was getting started too
Awesome… loved seeing Bruford playing with Squire…. I sent you the isolated bass on the original studio recording… it’s pretty awesome…
The concert was in the round, & the stage rotated to give you angles to see the band, everyone could see Yes. We could see them exit the stage, go down the steps for changes & preparing more setlist activity, very interactive..... so cool
"Union" old Yes and New. Chris was the only constant member. And owned the name.
People always say their aged singers' is exactly as good as it ever was.
Jon:
(no comment because he doesn't think that way. But I do... 97.235% there.)
South Side of the Sky is a real smokin tune from Fragile. I do a cover of Yes Arriving UFO from Yes Tormato.
You're on track!
Forget the, we can't do Pop years
I was at this very show! This was probably when I fell in love with Heart Of The Sunrise. Great memory! Great reaction!
Union is an album worth checking out. The two branches off the trunk of yes got back together.
You have to do "Close to the Edge" - (studio version full album). "Awaken", "The Gates of Delirium", "That, That Is", "Turn of the Century", lots more.
"Heart of the Sunrise" is the closing track of the SECOND Yes album released in 1971, 'Fragile.' Obviously, you have heard the opener, "Roundabout." I have been a HUGE fan of Yes since 1974.
The band changed dramatically with the 1983 album release, '90125.' The truly progressive Yes that most of us love ended with the 1978 album, 'Tormato,' although some may argue that 'Going for the One' (1977) was the final prog record with the classic Yes lineup. I, personally, cite the 1980 album, 'Drama' as the last one, even though it had Trevor Horn on vocals (he produced '90125') and Geoff Downes on keyboards (he is currently with Yes).
Yes has had quite a few lineup changes over the decades. Fortunately, we have tons of audio and video of them! Oh, and if you have the opportunity to see Jon Anderson on his current tour, GO!! He has lost a little of the volume in his voice, but he still sounds like an angel!! And at 77 years old, that's saying something!! I saw him in 2013 and 2014. Outstanding! ❤❤
Hi Justine.
Just a reminder that Fragile was the fourth album by Yes. It was the second to feature Steve Howe, and the first with Rick Wakeman.
For me, peak yes was the 70’s. Back then, they were exploring the outer reaches of what was possible in a ‘rock’ song, and were still young enough to have fire in their bellies and to push their instrumental capabilities to the max. Steve Howe played a big jazz guitar and jazz guitar licks but with a rock guitar sound - before it all got a bit too clean from the mid 80s on…
They had an immediately recognisable sound, but part of the joy was that it often required multiple listens to really get into many of their songs. The first listen was enough to tell you that you liked the overall sound, but the songs could be so complex and layered that you’d only begin to ‘get’ them after several listens. Heart of the Sunrise is a good example of that. I guess that’s why those earlier songs lasted so well - there was a lot more in there to begin with compared to the later more commercial stuff.
In more recent years I’m afraid Yes became a bit of a bad joke. The line-up changes made Spinal Tap seem like a model of stability by comparison, and the new line-ups could never match the performances, sound or energy of the earlier incarnations.
pretty awesome
The Union album/tour is the melding of the early version and the later 80s/90s version of the band so that’s why you have doubling of the instruments except for Chris who was with YES in every incarnation.
Actually the commercial stuff from 90125 is great, it's just different, don't be afraid of it. Check out Close To The Edge, Awaken, Sound Chaser, Gates Of Delerium, to get your mind blown.
One of my favorite Yes songs to introduce someone to what prog was all about. This performance is a little overly busy, because everyone had come back together for an album and tour amd everyone needed to add their flourishes. I prefer the album version, but this is a great performance.
Edit to add look for their live in-studio performance of Your is No Disgrace on German TV. I believe the TH-cam channel is Beat Club.
I actually did a Reaction to that exact performance of Yours Is No Disgrace and when I uploaded it to TH-cam it was Blocked Worldwide unfortunately.
@@JustinPanariello well crap. I guess Beat Club is on top of their copyright.
Here is my Reaction to YES Yours Is No Disgrace at Union Tour out today!! --> th-cam.com/video/Yomgq53K19Y/w-d-xo.html
YES is greatest prog band
Don't let "Owner of a Lonely Heart" scare you off all the other songs they put out in the 80's. For instance, "Changes" from the same album has an interesting intro, and "I'm Running" off the following album is excellent outright.
owner of a lonely heart was more of a Trevor Rabin song for his cinema band, who changed their name to Yes when Jon Anderson re joined for the 90125 album.... steve and jons influence was missing, hence the pop vibe
It was called UNION because the staqe had everyone who had ever been in Yes to that point...
Except for original guitarist Peter Banks, and Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes from the Drama album.
Yes and the writings of singer song writer Jon Anderson made my spirit soar. You should check out Relayer with pianist Patrick Moraz playing keyboards not Rick Wakeman. If I recall, Wakeman was a classical pianist where Moraz was a jazz pianist. .
Yeah those Patrick Moraz stuff is awesome. Jon is just the "Man" did you see him with Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakemen concert? It's called Yes 50th Anniversary Anderson, Rabin, Wakemen it was recorded during their tour in 2018, absolutely spectacular performance.... so much juicy musical goodness. Jon Anderson's voice powerful & exciting, Rabin top form, Wakemen? What else can I say its Rick Wakemen, concert is beautiful, intimate & stellar, awesome audio reproduction, I found it on TH-cam. I liked it sooooo much, I ordered the blu-ray arrives tomorrow from Amazon. Also ordered the Union tour on DVD, found it ebay for $18.08, worth it, that will arrive Saturday, my musical brain is on overload right now, I also wanted to do this to keep the memory of Chris Squire & Alan White alive.... they left us fans with soooo much good music long live Y e s ....
'Close to the Edge' and 'Awaken'. Studio version though first please before you watch anything live. You have to hear the intention before seeing the recreation with these two pieces 🙏🙏
This is the last track on Fragile.
Seen them in 1975 with Kansas.Close to the edge is an epic song and highly recommend the studio.It’s lengthy but an amazing journey
The Union tour with different generations of Yes members was good but for even better concert performances I would recommend their Montreux 2003 shows ; two songs you would like are YOURS IS NO DISGRACE and SIBERIAN KHATRU.
Thanks, Philip.

@@JustinPanariello 👍👍
PROG ON
His jacket looks like a backgammon table
you got the bass hang on the wall, slap that bass man. you might want to get the yessongs , turn that baby up to 11 and enjoy
yes has some of the greatest musicians, Steve howe turns that jazz box into a rock machine, rick Wakeman , probably the best master of keys alive today, bill Buford also a master of his craft, Alan white, came to yes after finishing one of John Lennons last albums. and Chris squire, took playing bass to new levels never heard before that has inspired many of the greatest. and the vocal range and creative mastery of song creation of Jon Anderson truly unparalleled.
Saw them live several times in the 70’s. In the round was a trip, with trap doors being used to pass instruments back and forth for different compositions. This video shows a handful of the greatest prog rock musicians that have ever stepped on a stage anywhere, anytime. Go back to their first five records. This was what was on radio in the 70’s daily, along with Pat Metheny, ELP, Steely Dan, Tull, (Jeff) Beck, Floyd, Zeppelin, The Who, Purple, Sabbath, for variety etc. The 80’s Yes was an attempt to expand fan base and remain relevant in a changing music environment. It WAS perfect for it’s time, as evidence of sales, and achieved the goals intended. Hate if you want, which is understandable. However, their skill remains Top Shelf in any era, especially this one, and undeniable. Rick Wakeman ( formally trained at the Royal Academy) is still producing music and TV projects of very high quality. Regards
Nice man
The 2 mastersSquire on Bass guitar, Bill Bruford on drums. Add Steve Howe and then add Alan on the other drums just incredible like when I saw them at MSG in 1979. Most talented and entertaining band on Earth!👍🏻🎸🎹🥁☮️
If you want "Off The Chain" Controlled Chaos, I would recommend both from YESSONGS, "Yours Is No Disgrace", and "Siberian Khatru". Then Relayer
Here is my Reaction to YES Yours Is No Disgrace at Union Tour out today!! --> th-cam.com/video/Yomgq53K19Y/w-d-xo.html
Yes knew perfectly well that there is a very thin line that separates virtuosity from self-indulgence and they never crossed it. ELP crossed it. Well, maybe Yes crossed it too in TFTO.
The 80s sound different once you digest the 70s.
I saw the Union Tour at MSG 10th Row.
Time for the song awaken
There "pop" stuff was actually very prog and technical, even if it came off as superficial. If you do listen to it, listen past the ear's penumbra
Everybody I’ve asked why they don’t like has said some variation of, “it’s to busy, too much going on all the time, I can’t focus on one part”.
Which of course is why I like it.
Oh young padawan, I would NOT recommend using the Union tour as one of your first ever Yes live experiences! 🤣 Not to get too far into the weeds, but this tour was a management/label scheme to make money off of two quartets that both thought of themselves as Yes, but who weren't talking to each other. Both were essentially floundering in the late 80s, so lots of money was waved in their faces, and bingo: you get the Union tour (and album, but that's another story.) What's crazy is that of the 8 people on that stage you're not only seeing the band members who originally recorded "Heart of the Sunrise" and the rest of the Fragile album in 1971, but there's also everyone who recorded the PREVIOUS album -- The Yes Album in 1970! And then there's Trevor Rabin, the guy who wrote their big 80s hit, "Owner of a Lonely Heart". But yeah, if you really want to kiss a bunch of your life away just start digging into what was happening with Yes in the decade or so leading up to the Union tour.
Jon Anderson, Tye man, the myth and The Voice! Add Rick Wakeman on keyboard/ synthesizers and Magic!
Yes did change in the 80s but it's like what Phil Collins said and I'm sure he meant the 80s changes in Genesis ' Genesis was the money cow but his real love was this' referring to his work with Brand X { Nuclear Burn )
This was amazing! You should check out their song "Yours is no disgrace" from 1991. This version of this song is amazing!!! You'll love it. The guitar and bassline in this song is flawless. Here's the link th-cam.com/video/27IpoV43ceA/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/nx_GIji9EGw/w-d-xo.html this is incredible. Late 60's live on a Swedish TV show Yours is no Disgrace.
Warch and react tothe Righteous Brothers live from andy williams show. Song was origianlly from 1955 and was written and composed by north and zaret. Watch the bros. Version from 1965. It was live but you must see the video from the start to get the minor history of them. This is a solo by bobby hatfield. They both agreed to do a solo of each for each album
All Yes fans. This is a must watch. Yes in the late 60's live on a TV show in Sweden. "Your's is no Disgrace", th-cam.com/video/nx_GIji9EGw/w-d-xo.html Steve Howe on a jazz guitar, ES-175, Allen White on a tiny drum kit. It looks like he's 17. Chris Squire on Rickenbacker. Check out the boots. Tony Kay on a Hammond organ. He's the gray haired keys player in the above video. Jon Anderson on lead vocals. This will blow your mind. The Union Tour is easily in my top 5 concerts ever.
I actually filmed a Reaction to this video you linked to a week or two ago... uploaded it to TH-cam and it got Blocked Worldwide so I had to delete it unfortunately... Great song and performance.
It's 1971 from German TV with Bill Bruford on drums.
Owner of a Lonely Heart should NOT be a Yes song. It was, unfortunately, a compromise track to get radio play. You want to be hearing: Close to the Edge, which is 18 minutes of the album of the same name; Yours is no Disgrace (from the Yes Album); I've Seen All Good People/Your Move (from the Yes Album); Long Distance Runaround (from Fragile); Mood for a Day (from Fragile) (guitar solo instrumental. If you don't know that Steve Howe is among the most talented axmen out there, you need to look into his solo work)
Here is my Reaction to YES Yours Is No Disgrace at Union Tour out today!! --> th-cam.com/video/Yomgq53K19Y/w-d-xo.html
I've seen all good People, Yours is No Disgrace, Changes, Leave It, City of Love, Long Distance Runaround, Starship Trooper, Aim low shoot high, Rythm of Love, Roundabout, Heart of the Sunrise, South Side of the Sky, Going for the One, Awaken, Lift Me Up, Tempis Fugit, Silent Wings of Freedom, Owner of the Lonely Heart, Gates of Delerium, lots of people Hate the Albums Talk & Union, I don't there's good stuff on those records. I think Talk is Trevor Rabin's best work with Yes, it's good, he left Yes after that album. I think in hindsight his direction on 90125, kept Yes out obscurity in the 80's, it was a monumental shift commercially, really put the band in the public eye, new listeners took notice. It was definetly new & unique, unlike anthing the band had done in prior years, I think the song is still cool, it has a groove & funk style playing to it & that's is cool, was so different. That album holds some really good memories for me. Going in to Pacific Stereo in CA, listening to some Acculab tower speakers, Played on Technics mk1200 Turntable with a Stanton needle, drop the needle clear clean sound brand new Yes Album 90125, minor muted drum roll, guitar starts dun, dun, dun, da, dun, dun, horn hit!!! whaaa, dalana, da, then the drum groove starts, so badass
Every true Yes fan hates "Owner of the Lonely Heart." lol. :)
They only have one pop song & Its Owner of the Lonely Heart.
I think that Love will find a way is even more poppier than Owner
That was the worst song they ever did 😢 Waaaay more gems from the Rabin years.❤❤
This show was indeed an all star show. Original drummer and ledgend Bill Bruford and later drummer Alan White. Keyboard great Rick Wakeman and Orignal Keyboardest Tony Kaye. Guitar Ledgend great Steve Howe and Later yes guitarist Trevor Rabin. Definalty ,Please do NOT listen to the Later stuff. THe early stuff was the only stuff worth listening to.
Keep listening and everything else won't so as good. 80's lineup was ok but not the same as the early music. CTTE. GATES, Awakening will blow your mind.
Funny thing... "Heart of the Sunrise" is of ... "Fragile."
I used to dislike it, because it seemed strange for the sake of strange. A lot of the the prog critics would say.
I was wrong.
Very wrong.
As you hear it more and more, you can anticipate the changes and they become more integrated without losing the brilliance of the creation.
They worked out a lot of this during Rick's audition.
He joined the band when Steve drove him home and just said "see you tomorrow."
close to the edge....studio
No, Yessongs version. Period.
For the most part YES’s first five or six albums were progressive and superb. After that era starting in ‘80 they had some changes and that song, Owner of a Lonely Heart, came during the change to a more pop style. Not really progressive though much better songs on that album than that hit song.The album is 90125.
"Union Tour" was nearly each and every incarnation of the band, together onstage. Studio version is better version.
PS, How can the wind with its arms all around me?
Heart of the sunrise was on fragile
I know (now!) shows how much I remember the album from high school...
Zaney !!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a little late to the Justin #JustinPanariello party, and I'm certain other YES-Freaks have already clued you in on the whole UNION Tour (debacle). IMHO, this was far from their best effort on stage. Too many people on stage, too many competing styles. I LOVE OG YES, Quintessential YES, YESBUGGLES, YES-WEST, ABWH, and AWR... aka ALL ITERATIONS of the band. BUT, tossing every ingredient in the kitchen, no matter how good it tastes, into one pot, does not result in a good meal. Interesting, different, but not their best work. I also wish they had filmed this concert in Philadelphia where we all shut up while they play (except for some singing), then roar like mighty lions when the songs are over. The UNION audience in both UNION tour concert videos are constantly screaming... annoying!
Here is my Reaction to YES Roundabout with Geddy Lee at Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame Induction out today!! --> th-cam.com/video/5aMsIv1LIKI/w-d-xo.html
I really don't remember this song, but let me clarify that we all didn't dress like that at least I hope we didn't, I denied it, but they seem to spend a lot of time showing off their music abilities I like the singer never saw them live never big fan God bless
Owner of a Lonely Heart was commercial crap. The albums YES recorded from 1970 through 1977 were their most definitive works. Close to the Edge is a masterpiece.

Saw that live in London. 8 former members of the band but only the one bass player ❤Sadly it was ruined by bad sound and some virtuoso overplaying 😢 The song is brilliant and co-written by Chris and Jon

This version of HotH is massively inferior to the album version, and the live version from the Yessongs triple LP.
Even though you have listened to Fragile in your youth, you don't seem to remember anything about it, so this video is pretty much your first time hearing this track, and choosing this version was a bad choice.
If you have to react to live tracks, react to Yessongs and Yesshows, or the Symphonic Live Tour 2001, or Live at Montreux 2003.
disjointed ... but with purpose.... you lobbed that one to me!
Yes has no “pop” stuff. Lol. Listen again.
How can you be a musician and not be familiar with YES? Especially a bass player. As for Heart of the Sunrise -- the album version is better.
Ive heard the album version. I dont get why ppl don’t understand theres an insane amount of music out there. We’ll never get to it all. Ive obviously very easily been a musician… from age 8 to now. Making a living off music the past 2 decades… without being super familiar with the band Yes outside of having the Fragile album in high school. No band ive ever played for paid me to learn/perform any Yes song. However. I bet you theres a TON of ‘musicians’ that know all of Yes’s material but having never made enough in music to make a living/buy houses/support a family. Sooooo. Yeah I knew of Yes and had Fragile. And it never got past that for me til now. All good.
@@JustinPanariello Well, I too have made my livelihood from music (and have hundreds of music videos up on TH-cam where I play all the instruments) though I realize that doesn't mean everyone should share my taste, but YES is more than a band that I like. They are unique and important in that every member is not only a virtuoso, but the group was also monumentally successful. How many bands can make that claim? Beyond that, they each have a completely original style. Lots of guys have tones of chops. Bruford, Howe and Squire reinvented their instruments. (And Wakeman is simply a fantastic pianist who, along with Keith Emerson, introduced the concept of multiple synths to the rock world). If you're just interested in learning popular songs that can be played in clubs and /or weddings then yeah, it isn't important that you're familiar with them. But if you're interested in music that has transformed the way a generation approaches their instrument, then it's imperative that you study Yes -- from 1970 - 1976. Everything else, you can pass on.
@@NelsonMontana1234 cool man I’ll check out your channel when I get a chance. I subbed.
@@JustinPanariello Thanks. I'll check out more of yours as well. I do lots of different stuff, from jazz, to metal, to funk to orchestral. So if you don't like something, go to something else. LOL
