When this debuted on MTV, they had 17 or 18 versions of the video. And I agree: A very groovy track indeed! That drum smack at 1:00 always gets me. Fantastic.
I always thought this would make an amazing piece of music for a school choir to do. Could you imagine the reaction of parents as their kids pull this one off?
Found Trevor Raymond when I was 18 years old and I followed him religiously and he went with yes and my wife knew how much I really liked his music so she bought me sooner stage tickets right at stage level about 30 feet away from the stage And yes was unbelievable they were fantastic it's hard to describe I had never been to a concert that I was sitting in the perfect seat it was incredible those guys are so polished and it was 90125 tour
To see this live, wow. I remember a handful of kids from my tiny northern Arizona hometown coming to school on Monday with their concert tees on and feeling like I missed something epic... I wasn't wrong. Iconic album. I will bet the concert was something amazing.
Simply Amazing music. Chris Squire RIP your bass playing was such a gift to us. Alan White RIP. I saw YES several times from Going For the One tour to 90125 and beyond six total. It was always something where I just sat in awe of what I was seeing and hearing. YES seemed to only care about the music and nothing else.
Saw them in Cincinnati on the 9012LIVE tour. If I recall correctly, before the show, the audio playing was the remix of this song. First time I saw lasers at a show. Seeing a globe in the middle of the arena spinning and then a pulsing block "YES" really got the crowd into it.
I heard this song on the radio when I was around 9-12 years old around 85-89. It has stuck in my head since then. I’ve been searching for this song a long while. I didn’t know the name of it, then I heard it playing at Ellis Island Casino. I used my SoundHound App turned it on, and it helped me with the Title to this song. I’m glad I finally found it again. Great Harmony, Lyrics, Beat, etc. Awesome 👏🏾 Song!
It was overdubbed....a bit...but I was at both of the shows MTV recorded in Edmonton in 84....and trust me....the sound was just about the same......don't underestimated them......we were floored....and very lucky to see this performance live ..
Dan Nadeau Yeah. Pretty overdubbed. They really are great in concert, though...at least, I saw them & had a great time. It was the only concert I couldn't remember much of cuz I was soooo stoooooned. I was in grad school, and with other grad students, gimme a break :) Aren't ya supposed to get stoned at a Yes concert? Yes???
I can only say I have seen Yes many times, and they always sound almost exactly like the studio recordings. They are a musician's musician. That being said, though, these vocals do sound like they were arranged later, but I would not be surprised if it was all live, because YES is so talented.
Well, there’s so many voices multitracked and things, so it would be hard to recreate that just with the guys on stage. There’s definitely some pre-recorded tracks in there.
Like a Country/Western Yes tribute? Are we changing "Roundabout" to "Traffic Circle"? "Owner of a Lonely Heart" already sounds Shit-Kickin' so...yeah...that'll work.
Pardon my language, but what a fuckin' MASTERPIECE. WOW !! And even though parts of this performance are mixed with the original recording, I still find this to be the BEST version of this song.
Does anybody know for fact there are overdubs? I have my doubts Yes would lip sync. All five are singing, my guess is a choir patch from the keyboards.
Did you ever listen to their Trilogy, ''Close To The Edge'', ''Tales From Topographic Oceans'' and ''Relayer'' ? Try it, and you might change your idea then about your most favorite version of Yes.
@@danielblanchet7577 That may be your favorite version of Yes, and this might be his. Everybody has favorites and opinions and not everybody is going to agree on the same thing. It’s life.
I saw the band on this tour (front row). This was the one song where it was obvious that the studio track supplemented the band. We hear a lot more than 5 voices here! But it was still fun. Thanks for the upload!
Both "90125" and "Drama" are unique sounds to Yes. Both also have tremendous input from Trevor Horn, either as writer/performer or producer. There will always be the classic vintage 70's Yes, but there's something edgy and appealing about these two albums that will keep them fresh.
One must listen to this with headphones/earbuds/airpods, whatever. AMAZZZZZING. **I witnessed this masterpiece performed LIVE in 1984. I was never the same after seeing YES in concert. Pretty epic event in my young life at that point!
enhanced or not...experience the sound of musical perfection...I've seen Yes several times and the vocals were nothing short of sterling, so stop hating and enjoy real talent at its finest
@@dave30076 If You see Yes with Howe Headlining he takes total control - it's like the Steve Howe Show not Yes - It's very good he talks he plays amazing riffs but it's not Yes
There are NO Yes cover bands.... Any band tight enough to cover these guys are going out and doing their own stuff. This band keeps up with any of the all-time greats... Supertramp The Little River Band Steely Dan Chicago Toto and more.

@@francus7227 there are some great bands in your list. I’m glad to see you included Little River Band. I consider them to be Australia’s version of the Eagles.
This was one of the times I missed them in concert with this lineup. I have Already seen YES 8 Times with the different lineups they had back in the day. One of the Better Concerts was this One when they were doing the In The Round ( A Revolving Stage )with Two of Each Members playing there instruments 🎸 🥁🎹 but there was only one Bass player if I’m not mistaken which was Chris Squire (RIP) back in the 80’s at the Rosemont Horizon Theater near Chicago,Illinois . All of the concerts that I have seen were Great but this One was A Little Bit Different because of the different members playing on stage together from different decades apart.
Can't believe it was that long ago. I remember when this song was on the radio. It was my first Yes album as a teen and it's still enduring. I really love this iteration of the band. It has a modern-pop edge that is commercial enough for mainstream yet still has elements of their progressive past. Rabin really fit yes and moved them ahead. Tony may not be as technically adept as Wakeman, but he was an excellent player who fit this group dynamic (I really like what he contributed).
I saw them in Atlanta on the Big Generator Tour, and they did this pretty much as here, and It was Awesome!! I'm a fan of Older Yes, but I like Much of the Energy of 'some' of this stuff. I'm not a Snob about it, the same with Genesis. I like Music that does Embrace the Times, but still Remains True to their Prog Origins, Yes, actually, has done rather well at this. I like elements of Techno and Dance, too, they way Afro Celt Sound System Integrates it, and that is 'something' I want to do as a Musical Artist, as well. ;)
I'm not sure if this is what I'm talking about, but it sounds pretty close. I remember when the first sattelite dish was 12' across, and I had just bought one, with the built in custom computer chip descrambler, which enabled the aparatus to tune into any channel, for free. I think I saw this live via sattelite when it debuted. It was fantastic. I may be wrong, if I remeber correctly the pianist was wearing a futuristic metallic silver lame space costume, with the pointy shouldlers.
They sounds WAY too good here. This sounds very close to their studio recording. I'm going to call shenanigans here and say that they might be lip syncing over the track here...which isn't unheard of.
Mmmm.... The background vocals are from the original recording as they are not doing them live. Its too perfect and you cant get this with 4 or 5 people singing this live. Listen close kids and youll see...
This was such a fantastic album, a testament to the mines and the band that wanted to put something superlative out, they went and found Trevor Rabin and got the biggest album of their career - Leave it! is a badass track in the acapella version is great too
You have to remember on this song, they have 3 guys who sing in the band, Jon, Chris and Trevor, and easily 6 or 7 backing vocal tracks. Of course some is overdubbed.
90125 never gets old! Still listening to that album nearly forty years later.
Probably their best album
I can't believe this isn't the most famous song on the planet. This is the best groove ever.
When this debuted on MTV, they had 17 or 18 versions of the video. And I agree: A very groovy track indeed! That drum smack at 1:00 always gets me. Fantastic.
Makes me want to find a pair of parachute pants and wear the hell out of them.
Raspysquares Well, its not the best song from them and because of music tastes changing, they wouldn’t list this as the best song ever.
That's funk music they made from Prog Rock.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere probably that either a Oberheim DMX snare drum or Linndrum snare drum sample triggered by SIMMONS drum pads.
Come ‘on the whole friggin album 90125 is a rock masterpiece!!!
That was an awesome album.
Couldn't agree more and still listen to it often ..90125!!!
I know very little about yes other than that album. blew me away.
What's most impressive about 90125 was that John Anderson wasn't even part of the album until about a month before it was finished.
I always thought this would make an amazing piece of music for a school choir to do. Could you imagine the reaction of parents as their kids pull this one off?
+Steven Silverstein You have issues!
I've seen school choruses do this song on youtube. its worth a search.
Neil and you are an idiot.
It would blow them away.
Steven Silverstein How cool such a kick'n tune ❤
Spectacular voices, musical genius everywhere and maybe the greatest bass player that ever lived
Saw Yes 90125 concert in Columbia, Maryland. They were phenomenal. Their best lineup and their greatest album.
Trevor Rabin was great and perfect timing for Yes in the 80's
Found Trevor Raymond when I was 18 years old and I followed him religiously and he went with yes and my wife knew how much I really liked his music so she bought me sooner stage tickets right at stage level about 30 feet away from the stage And yes was unbelievable they were fantastic it's hard to describe I had never been to a concert that I was sitting in the perfect seat it was incredible those guys are so polished and it was 90125 tour

This is one Yes song where their vocals just SHINE!!! This five part harmony is gorgeous!
Simply Amazing music. Chris Squire RIP your bass playing was such a gift to us. Alan White RIP. I saw YES several times from Going For the One tour to 90125 and beyond six total. It was always something where I just sat in awe of what I was seeing and hearing. YES seemed to only care about the music and nothing else.
A very complicated orchestrated song. Love it, because there is nothing like this today!!!

So good. I envy everyone at that concert.

Yes???
Yeah they rock would have loved to see them.
I ain’t even mad. This would be an insanely difficult song to perform 100% live
Saw them live in the 80s. Great band and this album is timeless.
I can only say I have seen Yes many times, and they always sound almost exactly like the studio recordings. They are a musician's musician. That being said, though, these vocals do sound like they were arranged later, but I would not be surprised if it was all live, because YES is so talented.

I'm forming a tribute band called, "Yup" 😃!
I was thinking of NO
@@lisamoroney3036 lol
Fuck yeah!! ✌️😎
Like a Country/Western Yes tribute? Are we changing "Roundabout" to "Traffic Circle"? "Owner of a Lonely Heart" already sounds Shit-Kickin' so...yeah...that'll work.
Lovie it!
This song gives me goosebumps.
Pardon my language, but what a fuckin' MASTERPIECE. WOW !!
And even though parts of this performance are mixed with the original recording, I still find this to be the BEST version of this song.
Vocals sounded near exactly the studio version- scary
The harmonies were all pre-recorded. Only the lead vocals were done live.
Does anybody know for fact there are overdubs? I have my doubts Yes would lip sync. All five are singing, my guess is a choir patch from the keyboards.
@@jeffpower7464 I'm only ASSuming lol
My parents had to peel me away from my boombox in 1984 because I wouldn't stop listening to this entire album. Brilliant and timeless piece.
Still to this day, my favorite version of Yes.
Did you ever listen to their Trilogy, ''Close To The Edge'', ''Tales From Topographic Oceans'' and ''Relayer'' ? Try it, and you might change your idea then about your most favorite version of Yes.
@@danielblanchet7577 That may be your favorite version of Yes, and this might be his. Everybody has favorites and opinions and not everybody is going to agree on the same thing. It’s life.
This is the awesome sound of the 80's to me, always loved it when this song came on MTV or the radio.
I saw the band on this tour (front row). This was the one song where it was obvious that the studio track supplemented the band. We hear a lot more than 5 voices here! But it was still fun. Thanks for the upload!
I’m pretty sure a lot of the vocals for this song live are prerecorded
The harmony is fabulous 😍
Fantastic!! absolutely amazing the harmonies!!
MAN ROCK BANDS WERE SO COOL BACK THEN. MY FAVORITE YES SONG. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO.
Proud to say I saw them for this tour 40 years ago or so.
Both "90125" and "Drama" are unique sounds to Yes. Both also have tremendous input from Trevor Horn, either as writer/performer or producer. There will always be the classic vintage 70's Yes, but there's something edgy and appealing about these two albums that will keep them fresh.
I love this song! Big fan of Yes!!
Brilliant! Moved to tears. Art is art.
One must listen to this with headphones/earbuds/airpods, whatever. AMAZZZZZING. **I witnessed this masterpiece performed LIVE in 1984. I was never the same after seeing YES in concert. Pretty epic event in my young life at that point!
I saw this live in the round at James Madison University and it was perfect.
Yes...truly one of the greatest bands ever...may their music always live on...Rest in Peace Chris Squire and Peter Banks...
Love this band and love This song.
Now THAT is the Yes I love, this song is absolutely in their chords. They are showing what they can do vocally and musically, I just love this song.
Yes was always my toe tapping, karaoke , air guitar type band. This song is one of my favorite from Yes.
enhanced or not...experience the sound of musical perfection...I've seen Yes several times and the vocals were nothing short of sterling, so stop hating and enjoy real talent at its finest
They seem so much happier without Steve Howe even though he's a musical genius - I seen this in Concert it was Amazing
Steve Howe seems like a hateful old crank, talented as he is.
@@dave30076 If You see Yes with Howe Headlining he takes total control - it's like the Steve Howe Show not Yes - It's very good he talks he plays amazing riffs but it's not Yes
Just heard on Good Girls lol its in the intro s4 epi4 ha reminds me of the seventies, eighties in Detroit🥰
And people say 90125 is “radio friendly”. This song as well as “Changes” shows this album is something that most bands won’t be able to cover.
There are NO Yes cover bands....
Any band tight enough to cover these guys are going out and doing their own stuff. This band keeps up with any of the all-time greats...
Supertramp
The Little River Band
Steely Dan
Chicago
Toto
and more.
@@francus7227 there are some great bands in your list. I’m glad to see you included Little River Band. I consider them to be Australia’s version of the Eagles.
one super song on any list please
Thanks, one of my favorite songs & performances by Yes!

This song was the bomb in rhe early 80's,🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
This is live - wow what talent they had!
Only some parts are live. They had samples running and an offstage keyboard player, Casey Young.
Obviously it's not 100% live. This is an insanely difficult song to do that.
Nope, just looks live 😊
The lead vocals by Trevor and John are live but the harmonies are all lip synched.
That's my new favorite yes song my first was owner of the lonley heart
Good choices, but you should check out their earlier music..the composition and vocals are phenomenal
No better sound or band on the planet. The best!
Thank you Javier for this remarkable video.
Masterfully orchestrated!
Love this track!
Can't believe it was that long ago. I remember when this song was on the radio. It was my first Yes album as a teen and it's still enduring. I really love this iteration of the band.

Tony may not be as technically adept as Wakeman, but he was an excellent player who fit this group dynamic (I really like what he contributed).
STILL does it for me! Can't even lie!
awesome..from California
Excellent upload, the sound is superb!
This song is STILL kicking ass in 2020!!! Shout out to #TrevorHorn
This sounds to PERFECT
I saw them in Atlanta on the Big Generator Tour, and they did this pretty much as here, and It was Awesome!! I'm a fan of Older Yes, but I like Much of the Energy of 'some' of this stuff.

Just pure unadulterated fucking brilliance and talent. Amazing.
Bad Assed Album! Trevor Rabin is such a talented musician.
90125 is awesome.
th-cam.com/video/7suI81Xq0Vg/w-d-xo.html
Love it just love it
They’re all awesome and “so flippin suave!”
Best vocal harmonies alongside the Beach Boys and CSN&Y. Jon’s hair looked fabulous here btw.
At first I thought it was lip-synched, but there were small, subtle things that happened that made it sound like it was at least part-way real.
Yes 😍
I love this song!!!
Rare to find bands that were able to perform live, as good as on the studio tracks that took so many takes, cuts & edits
9012LIVE Video which begat the Solos EP
Was my first Rock concert!
MaMa Rocket Mine too!
These shows were great, we came to calling them: the Chris and Trevor show.
To pull this song off live!? Wow!
I'm not sure if this is what I'm talking about, but it sounds pretty close. I remember when the first sattelite dish was 12' across, and I had just bought one, with the built in custom computer chip descrambler, which enabled the aparatus to tune into any channel, for free.

I may be wrong, if I remeber correctly the pianist was wearing a futuristic metallic silver lame space costume, with the pointy shouldlers.
Now I know where The Amazing Johnathan got his style
Yes produced some of the best music to ever break the light of day . . .
Yes!
Hell yeah they did.
I love this song from the bottom of my heart, but it's pretty lulzy that we're expected to believe that this is a live recording.
Absolutely love this and the whole album
God damn they played it perfectly. I figured a song like this would be tricky to pull off live. But of course nothing is too tricky for Yes!
They played the instruments & did the lead vocals live but the rest is overdubbed.
One of the most bad-ass vocal tunes next to, Bohemian Rhapsody. And they totally kill it, live. Absolutely Phenomenal.
They sounds WAY too good here. This sounds very close to their studio recording. I'm going to call shenanigans here and say that they might be lip syncing over the track here...which isn't unheard of.
My favorite band of all time, but....definite shenanigans!
Great idea!!!.
Thank you! Excellent sound and video! Can you get "Hold On"also?
Great example of all members of a band singing and harmonizing. . .which is kind of rare sometimes.
Mmmm.... The background vocals are from the original recording as they are not doing them live. Its too perfect and you cant get this with 4 or 5 people singing this live. Listen close kids and youll see...
lol.....
We know. However the guys actually on stage ARE singing live.
spectacularly awesome \m/
Making flash dance clothes and High harmonic voices seen badass in 2022
That Bass line
awesome brilliant
This was such a fantastic album, a testament to the mines and the band that wanted to put something superlative out, they went and found Trevor Rabin and got the biggest album of their career - Leave it! is a badass track in the acapella version is great too
Play it forward, The song of the day.
Yes looks like they raided the wardrobe of Dune here.
Great early 80's song by YES
80s hair? Check!
80s clothes? Check!
80s synths and digital drums? Check!
Awesome!
ive never been able to figure out are they really singing this or is this pre recorded if not they sound amazing!
Singing over samples.
Brilliant.
Love Yes.
Only YES could pull this off!!
Thanks Trevor
Love this song, but it's quite obvious that the opening segment is several tracks of Chris singing. Backing tracks me thinks?
You have to remember on this song, they have 3 guys who sing in the band, Jon, Chris and Trevor, and easily 6 or 7 backing vocal tracks. Of course some is overdubbed.
great song
