My Dad made me a double sided mix tape as a 16 year old of Yes and a little bit of Olias and I nearly wore the ribbon out. My love (for the original line ups) has never waned since then!
This IS progressive rock. This is a classic Yes piece. I heard this for the 1st time in 1972 when I was 12. Yes put me on the path to my love for progressive rock. On a side note; you are very easy on the ears. 😊
Welcome to the 70’s Yes world, and their wonderful work from that era…Yes, in my books, are the most influential progressive rock band that this planet has ever seen.
My favourite track on Fragile, followed by Roundabout and then South Side of the Sky. What an amazing progressive album from when I was a 15 year old (1971). But a year later, their masterpiece was released - Close to the Edge. CTTE is my all time favourite piece of music; it's perfectly complete.
This and ELP's Brain Salad Surgery were the stoner go-to albums in the 70s when I was in school. Pure musicianship. Great to see younger generations digging it.
Saw them live six times in the 70s. 70s progressive rock bands made it the best time of my life. I still get lost on a wave that I was dreaming with the wind's arms all around me.
One of the greatest song in one of the greatest albums in Prog Rock History!...the intensity, the preciseness...the dynamics....I have no words to utter....it surprises me everytime I listen to it.
Total classic, one of many they seemed to effortlessly roll out from the period around 1971-1977. Here, love the build-up at the beginning with the bass and drums, the strings mellotron floating in, intensity building, building…then bam! And Jon Anderson’s vocals by the end of the song really evoke this sense of passion and spirituality.
You'll like a short little song called Wonderous Stories off the Going For the One album. This album and the Yes Album before it don't have one bad song on them. The next album Close to the Edge usually wins Prog polls as being the best Prog album of all time. My two favorites are Relayer and Drama. Great reaction!!
My favorite song by a band with dozens of gems in their catalogue. A perfect showcase for my favorite bassist, Chris Squire, RIP, and favorite drummer, Bill Bruford (you really need to listen to some of his work with King Crimson sometime, another prog essential). The rest of the members of Yes aren’t too shabby either. 😜 Keep up the great reactions. 🤘
This Yes lineup is easily my favorite. And Bruford was in Genesis, not as a writing member, but rather as a member for Genesis live during a tour until Chester Thompson would fill that position while Bruford would get busier with King Crimson.
Such a great band , especially live. I think you will really enjoy them more and more. Very diverse catalogue;, progressive ,jazz-rock fusion , rock , some folk rock mixed in , classical, etc.Thanks for reacting to them and other great bands . There is so much great music from the 60,s to the mid 90’s.
The first Yes record,.bought it after seeing them play " Long distance runaround" on British TV, another track on this album. From 1972 till about 1978 Yes were the masters of Prog rock, then, for me, went off the boil with various personnel changes. There's some great albums to listen to from this era. The Yes Album, the previous one to this is also great.
Bill Bruford was with Yes for the first 5 albums. Then he moved to King Crimson. Played on the 1976 Genesis Tour when Phil Collins took over the lead vocals. Nothing Else to do with Genesis. But he has a fantastic career with his fusion band Bruford and his jazz group Earthworks.
Oh, yes, not just "considered" progressive rock, but one of its defining exemplars by one of the genre's earliest and best exponents. And it's now 51 years "old", but still timeless.
Chris Squire (bass) tells a pretty funny story of the night he met Jimi Hendrix at the Marquee Club in London. He was playing bass in a band called "The Syn" and they were scheduled to play the opening slot that night: January 24th, 1967. It's here on YT.
Well you dove into Floyd and Genesis and so it was only a matter of time before you got to the third leg of the 70s prog rock stool YES. I think that you are going to be here for a while!! Enjoy, there is so much innovative music in their locker.
The genius of Yes and it was better live. Love your reaction. Enjoy the Yes journey I'm sure you are going to love it. South Side Of The Sky should be next, live version from Songs From Tsongas 35th Anniversary Tour is my favorite, I've seen Yes 36 times.
Yes, I think they acknowledged that the main riff of this song is influenced by King Crimson “21st Century Schizoid Man” (think of the middle section riff of that song).
Great reaction! The drummer 🥁 Bill Bruford was Phil Collins first choice for the touring drummer for Genesis after he took over as vocalist after Peter Gabriel. Search TH-cam for Genesis live 1976 for live footage. Bruford was a founding member of Yes and then left in 1972 for King Crimson. Another album to check out with Bruford is Yes bassist Chris Squire’s 1975 solo album Fish Out Of Water. Bruford and Squire are my favorite rhythm 🥁 section ever! Also check out the 1978 debut album from the band UK with Bruford and King Crimson bassist John Wetton. And yes this is definitely progressive rock. 😎
I would like to suggest you a song by Jon Anderson (singer of Yes). "Song Of Seven" from the album of the same name. th-cam.com/video/YelYHltApsQ/w-d-xo.html Have fun.
Don't stop reading at difficult words, sound them out, no one will be laughing at you. I would much rather hear you give it a go than give up. We learn by doing. I'm sorry to hear you have been ill, I'm glad you are better. 🥰
They were so good with Bruford. A White was awesome but they were something special with Bruford. At the end of this song if you wait there's a little reprise from the Jon Anderson piece We Have Heaven. Like how you just got into the song didn't spend 5 minutes on pointless intro.
Yes our aliens because I don't see any other band ever being able to do what they did ever again and the band Rush will probably even tell you that too.
One of the top five progressive rock bands, along with Pink Floyd, early Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and King Crimson. A wonderful track. Some more amazing Yes: "Starship Trooper", "Close to the Edge", "And You & I", and the deeper cut "Lift Me Up". If you want to explore more prog, try "Take a Pebble" and "From the Beginning" by Emerson Lake & Palmer, and "Fallen Angel" and "Elephant Talk" by King Crimson.
This is the thing: if humanity somehow survives (which I find doubtful) for another 100 years or more, music of the future times will be completely different than it is today (and, most probably, even more "unlistenable" than it is today). But Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple - and literally hundreds of other bands and performers, too numerous to mention, of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, will continue to mistify, perplex, wow, captivate, delight, dazzle and enrapture future generations to come. They epitomise the highest in professionalism, musicianship, hard work, talent, and divine inspiration. There has never been, and never will be, such a great period in music as there was within those three decades. And they will never be outshined or surpassed by all the Beyonces and Lady Gagas of today. Even - and I know that I may make some Readers irritated now - the rock of today is but a pale shadow of the soul and utmost musicianship the band members of those three decades had put into their "soul-children", their songs.
There is a Latin - American band that comes very close… please listen to “Los Jaivas” I happened to have seen YES and Los Jaivas only days apart in the 80’s. Many attributes herein mentioned by you!
Being an old man now, the same age as Jon, Steve and the other members of YES. 1971 it started for me, saw them on the Fragile tour at the Chatham Central Hall, Kent. Once a YES fan always a YES. Sadly Jon was taken ill and the other members saw fit to get rid of him, a black day for the fans, then Chris past away, but we have his legacy to listen too. The lineup on Fragile is YES at its finest. There is only YES.
This makes me laugh because you're who I think I would be if I was a woman. T-shirt, no makeup, pony tail, and fluck off if you wanted more. Life's too short. Exhibitionism is a waste of time. Don't get me wrong: you're a beautiful person, but I'm already like that as a guy and I get it. I'm naturally good-looking and I have a magical metabolism that makes me seem fit even when I'm not, but I always have a scraggly beard, long hair that's always in my face, and I generally wear whatever happened to be in arm's reach of my bed that morning. That tends to be a common trait amongst prog rock people. We're so obsessed with our art that we don't care how smelly we are while we're making it. Every second spent putting on eyeliner or cologne is a second that could have been spent writing or listening to a song.
At 7:30 you say “this is incredible…” - pretty well sums it up. Brings me joy and a bit of a tear to see you swept by the music of genius so. Because I know exactly what you are feeling: squire’s bass like thundering water, bruford like hail on a summer roof, wakeman like a meteor shower, Howe like sheets of coruscating lightning, and…ever ethereal…Jon. And best of all, if you are careful with it, it never gets old. We who did our bildungsromaning in the 70s were blessed. Thanks for sharing.
This album is an amazing feat of Prog-Rock. My fave Yes song too. It's also one of (if not the only) studio album where each member has a solo song. Might I suggest Genesis - "Supper's Ready"
I can't add to these comments, we know peak Yes. They are all showing off, especially Bruford and Wakeman. The penultimate Yes song after CTTE, with an inclusion of Gates....Chris's favorite.
All of Yes is progressive to some degree or another. This particular combination of talent meshed and worked the greatest advance and influence for progressive rock/fusion bands. This album brought Yes to American and wider audiences. Their next album is IMHO the pinnacle of Progrock, the platonic ideal. So happy to see you appreciation of something I've loved most of my life.
I was 21 in 1971 when that song came out. Our reaction to it was just exactly the same as yours! It is so cool to see a young person your age loving the music that we loved and being amazed! A new subscriber.
Great reaction to this classic!! You should check out a recent live version of this with Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, and Rick Wakeman live from The Apollo. It's from 2016 and it's amazing!! There is a live DVD from that performance.
Check out a band called UK, Bill Bruford on drums, John Wetton on bass & vocals, Eddie Jobson on keyboards & violin and Allan Holdsworth on guitars. In The Dead Of Night blows away the cobwebs.
Yes used to open their shows by a classical orchestra recording of the dramatic finale of The Firebird Suite by Stravinsky (stra-VIN-skee). He died in 1971. One of the early pioneers of modernist classical music. Great piece of music. Gives me goosebumps. Here it is being played as they take the stage at one of their 35th anniversary concerts. th-cam.com/video/lZTZNNpMJP8/w-d-xo.html
This is what happens when you have a LOT of talent, a LOT of creativity, a lot of time, and a lot of drugs. Those albums from this classic lineup are arguably the best rock music ever made. Definitely it's progressive rock. These days, when progressive mostly only exists in its metallic form, a lot of young folks might not associate this with prog. In particular, the drumming on this one is exceptional. Bill Bruford was a frighteningly good drummer in general, but this one stands out even for him. And of course Chris Squire on bass here is doing some of his best work also, and that's saying a lot.
I'm 56 yo. My brother is almost 8 older than me. He bought this album when I was a little kid. Believe me when say that I pressed my ear to the speaker to listen.
New sub off YT's algorithm rec. Great reaction! While the song was going, it looked like you pointed to your left ear about the guitar being panned there and I thought "Oh no! She's got her headset the wrong way 'round!" Haha. But then thought "or maybe her camera's reversed . . ." You cleared that up at 14:59, thanks!

Fifty years on, we all still get chills listening to this.
Absolutely!
My Dad made me a double sided mix tape as a 16 year old of Yes and a little bit of Olias and I nearly wore the ribbon out. My love (for the original line ups) has never waned since then!
Me too
Same.
Bruford and Squire, perhaps the greatest rhythm section in rock........ever
Anderson…Bruford…Howe….Squire….Wakeman….it don’t get any better than that Laurie ❤️
Another amazing Yes song, I'd also recommend South Side Of The Sky from this same album.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Yep, I think it doesn't get enough attention. My favorite from Fragile.
This IS progressive rock. This is a classic Yes piece. I heard this for the 1st time in 1972 when I was 12. Yes put me on the path to my love for progressive rock. On a side note; you are very easy on the ears. 😊

My favourite track on Fragile, followed by Roundabout and then South Side of the Sky. What an amazing progressive album from when I was a 15 year old (1971).
But a year later, their masterpiece was released - Close to the Edge. CTTE is my all time favourite piece of music; it's perfectly complete.
From The Yes album try Yours is no Disgrace and Starship Trooper and I've Seen All Good People.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Genesis too!!!!!!!!!
“ sounds like 2 or 3 songs in one “ Yep thats progressive rock for ya 😃
THE Very Best Progressive Rock allowed by Nature! YES...
This and ELP's Brain Salad Surgery were the stoner go-to albums in the 70s when I was in school. Pure musicianship. Great to see younger generations digging it.
Oh yeah, this is most definitely prog rock. Bill Bruford's drum phrasing is so tasty, I dropped the guitar and dedicated myself to drums.
Saw them live six times in the 70s. 70s progressive rock bands made it the best time of my life. I still get lost on a wave that I was dreaming with the wind's arms all around me.
One of the greatest song in one of the greatest albums in Prog Rock History!...the intensity, the preciseness...the dynamics....I have no words to utter....it surprises me everytime I listen to it.

Outstanding song, perhaps the best Yes ever did. Bruford was from another planet. About 50 years ago and I am still listening to it.
You'll like a short little song called Wonderous Stories off the Going For the One album. This album and the Yes Album before it don't have one bad song on them. The next album Close to the Edge usually wins Prog polls as being the best Prog album of all time. My two favorites are Relayer and Drama. Great reaction!!
You should to a blind reaction to the Yes song "Sound Chaser". If you like this song, you should like/LOVE it.
My favorite song by a band with dozens of gems in their catalogue.

This is my Fav Band Anderson Wakeman Bruford (White) Howe Squire

And UFO
Oh, yes, not just "considered" progressive rock, but one of its defining exemplars by one of the genre's earliest and best exponents. And it's now 51 years "old", but still timeless.
I am 65 and started with Yes back in 1972. It is still remains music from the future and a different planet.
Chris Squire (bass) tells a pretty funny story of the night he met Jimi Hendrix at the Marquee Club in London. He was playing bass in a band called "The Syn" and they were scheduled to play the opening slot that night: January 24th, 1967. It's here on YT.
Maybe one of their 5 greatest songs… I just love it, can't get enough of it…
Well you dove into Floyd and Genesis and so it was only a matter of time before you got to the third leg of the 70s prog rock stool YES. I think that you are going to be here for a while!! Enjoy, there is so much innovative music in their locker.
Still needs ELP...
I'm glad you're feeling better and back to reacting!
I saw YES in 71 U was 16... Changed my music knowledge. Still gives me goose bumps.
Great song as are all Yes songs, My favorit being Wonderous Stories... Like to see your reaction to this song Laurie.x
If Mozart, Beethoven, Stravinsky, and Tchaikovsky formed a rock band it would be yes.
The genius of Yes and it was better live. Love your reaction. Enjoy the Yes journey I'm sure you are going to love it. South Side Of The Sky should be next, live version from Songs From Tsongas 35th Anniversary Tour is my favorite, I've seen Yes 36 times.
Only 36? You rookie! Lol. I guess it's a start. Lol!😎
@@jeffschielka7845 FYI childhood bud has seen Yes in the States, twice in Hungary, Germany and about 20 times in Canada
@@lesblatnyak5947 So? Lol!!!!!!😎
Really enjoy your enthusiasm for this song/band and in music in general. Three classic Yes albums are The Yes Album, Fragile, and Close to the Edge.
Bruford and Squier sure got into some heavy sh*t together. These are the godfathers of prog.
My favorite song ever by my favorite band ever!!!
Hey Scot! I miss Chris SO much. Now Alan too.😭😎
HOTS was my favorite song yesterday. Today it's Ritual. Tomorrow? 😎
I think its Prog, or just Yes being Yes
I haven't heard this for SO LONG!
Always reminds me of King Crimson too
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou
Yes, I think they acknowledged that the main riff of this song is influenced by King Crimson “21st Century Schizoid Man” (think of the middle section riff of that song).
Thank you for reacting to this track, very awesome album!🙂
Just in terms of having absolute mastery of their instruments, I think Yes is the greatest band of all time.
It never gets old.
Yes are the best. Thx. 👍💪
Great reaction! The drummer 🥁 Bill Bruford was Phil Collins first choice for the touring drummer for Genesis after he took over as vocalist after Peter Gabriel. Search TH-cam for Genesis live 1976 for live footage. Bruford was a founding member of Yes and then left in 1972 for King Crimson.

Phil Collins was a Big fan of Bill Bruford before he joined Genesis.

Starship trooper, you should take a listen
I would like to suggest you a song by Jon Anderson (singer of Yes). "Song Of Seven" from the album of the same name.
th-cam.com/video/YelYHltApsQ/w-d-xo.html
Have fun.
This song is a rollercoaster ride! To answer your question: is this prog rock? YES.
this the all-time highmark of progressive rock. PROG ON!
Nice review of a great song!
You should listen to Tales from topographic oceans. Great album!
Don't stop reading at difficult words, sound them out, no one will be laughing at you. I would much rather hear you give it a go than give up. We learn by doing. I'm sorry to hear you have been ill, I'm glad you are better. 🥰

Progressive rock fused with jazz and classical undertones style arrangement.
As an old geezer.. I am very happy you discovered this music from my youth.
As an Englishman... I find your accent adorable!
Yes our aliens because I don't see any other band ever being able to do what they did ever again and the band Rush will probably even tell you that too.
I consider YES the father's of progressive rock.
I knew and love Heart of Sunrise since 80's but realize how cool Bill Bruford drum works in this song in 2000's.
I love to see a young person get it, really get it. Yes is a deep dive, go for it!
Wonderful. Great choice. The musical grandiloquence of a prodigious band. Congratulations!
One of the top five progressive rock bands, along with Pink Floyd, early Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and King Crimson. A wonderful track. Some more amazing Yes: "Starship Trooper", "Close to the Edge", "And You & I", and the deeper cut "Lift Me Up".

How can the wind with its arms all around me?
Yes darling ,it’s about as prog you get
Is this progressive rock? It’s the acme!
'oooh that bass' everyone on every yes song ^w^
You need to listen to the whole Album!
What an amazing track. Great reaction.
everything in life is yes music lol
This is the thing: if humanity somehow survives (which I find doubtful) for another 100 years or more, music of the future times will be completely different than it is today (and, most probably, even more "unlistenable" than it is today). But Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple - and literally hundreds of other bands and performers, too numerous to mention, of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, will continue to mistify, perplex, wow, captivate, delight, dazzle and enrapture future generations to come. They epitomise the highest in professionalism, musicianship, hard work, talent, and divine inspiration.

Songs like this rewire the brain for music.
Can't wait for my request
MASTERPIECE 💫❤️☝️
Completely spoiled it by talking over it, listen first comment AFTER silly woman
Being an old man now, the same age as Jon, Steve and the other members of YES.
1971 it started for me, saw them on the Fragile tour at the Chatham Central Hall, Kent.
Once a YES fan always a YES.
Sadly Jon was taken ill and the other members saw fit to get rid of him, a black day for the fans, then Chris past away, but we have his legacy to listen too.
The lineup on Fragile is YES at its finest.
There is only YES.
This makes me laugh because you're who I think I would be if I was a woman. T-shirt, no makeup, pony tail, and fluck off if you wanted more. Life's too short. Exhibitionism is a waste of time. Don't get me wrong: you're a beautiful person, but I'm already like that as a guy and I get it. I'm naturally good-looking and I have a magical metabolism that makes me seem fit even when I'm not, but I always have a scraggly beard, long hair that's always in my face, and I generally wear whatever happened to be in arm's reach of my bed that morning. That tends to be a common trait amongst prog rock people. We're so obsessed with our art that we don't care how smelly we are while we're making it. Every second spent putting on eyeliner or cologne is a second that could have been spent writing or listening to a song.
At 7:30 you say “this is incredible…” - pretty well sums it up. Brings me joy and a bit of a tear to see you swept by the music of genius so. Because I know exactly what you are feeling: squire’s bass like thundering water, bruford like hail on a summer roof, wakeman like a meteor shower, Howe like sheets of coruscating lightning, and…ever ethereal…Jon. And best of all, if you are careful with it, it never gets old. We who did our bildungsromaning in the 70s were blessed. Thanks for sharing.
This album is an amazing feat of Prog-Rock. My fave Yes song too. It's also one of (if not the only) studio album where each member has a solo song. Might I suggest Genesis - "Supper's Ready"
Definitely progressive rock! Going hard through the 70's with ELP, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd and others. It was a great time to be young!
Hope you do a video where your talking soon
I will but it still hurts a bit to talk , I was struggling in this video but otherwise I feel pretty good
I can't add to these comments, we know peak Yes. They are all showing off, especially Bruford and Wakeman. The penultimate Yes song after CTTE, with an inclusion of Gates....Chris's favorite.
Listen to the drumming on king crimson allbums ,LTIA , STARLESS , RED , USA.
All of Yes is progressive to some degree or another. This particular combination of talent meshed and worked the greatest advance and influence for progressive rock/fusion bands. This album brought Yes to American and wider audiences. Their next album is IMHO the pinnacle of Progrock, the platonic ideal. So happy to see you appreciation of something I've loved most of my life.

And sadly we have lost Chris Squire and Alan White,The "Yessongs" live version of "heart of sunrise" is the best.A great album!
Yes, music for heart and soul. Fragil, Going for the One, Close to the Edge, Relayer, Tormato, 90125 and Yessongs ❤❤❤ 😊
Check out Machine Messiah of the Yes Drama album....you won't be disappointed.
You should watch a live version. Big Generator tour from Philadelphia. Union Tour with 8 performing members.
Great reaction to this classic!! You should check out a recent live version of this with Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, and Rick Wakeman live from The Apollo. It's from 2016 and it's amazing!! There is a live DVD from that performance.
I have only had 30 or so years getting to know YES. Not 50+ like many commentors... I wonder how many younger fans of YES watch these reactions...
Son monstruos del progresivo!!
Bruford only toured with Genesis in 1976 after Peter Gabriel left the band. yes prog rock. check out Genesis Return of the Giant Hogweed.
Check out a band called UK, Bill Bruford on drums, John Wetton on bass & vocals, Eddie Jobson on keyboards & violin and Allan Holdsworth on guitars. In The Dead Of Night blows away the cobwebs.
you need to listen to early genesis with peter gabriel
Yes!! Progressive rock at it's best!! Nice to see a younger person appreciate the genius of this amazing band!!
Do yourself a favor and check out Bill Bruford's solo albums. He put together a supergroup. You'll be introduced to some legendary musicians.
I like how this song was incorporated in Vincent Gallo's "Buffalo 66".
Yes used to open their shows by a classical orchestra recording of the dramatic finale of The Firebird Suite by Stravinsky (stra-VIN-skee). He died in 1971.
