last time I was at my aikido dojo, this older instructor chastised me for being too eager. He said I wasn't a kid anymore and I'd hurt myself badly. I was 48 at the time and he was right, I hadn't recognized my aging. The following week, he was awarded his black belt and they announced his 70th birthday. This guy could toss me around like a rag doll and was a gentle septuagenarian. Blew my mind. Apparently 70 isn't dead, who knew...
I saw them on the 90125 tour in the Nassau County Coliseum on Long Island. I think they sound better here than they did that night and I am amazed that Anderson's voice has held out the way it has. I am not even a huge Yes fan, but when somebody executes well, it should be acknowledged.
To me this has been so far the best R'n'R HoF performance by far by any inductee, it's just full of energy that usually only younger performers have. These guys are just such a masterclass of how to perform their hits live.
Ok, I know he has a high natural voice, but dang Jon can still sing so well for his age. I had such a smile on my face hearing the perfection of his singing on this song in particular. Also, nobody's talking enough about Trevor nailing the guitar parts.
Watching Steve Howe play the crap out of that bass guitar was so much fun. He seemed to be having a great time doing so and honoring Chris Squire whose presence was so sadly missed at the ceremony. RIP Chris!
If "Yes" really wanted to "Honor" Chris Squire they either should have rejected their induction into the "R & R" OR when they got on stage, asked the audience WHY this took so long. Chris Squire Died while Donna Summer and Madonna were inducted into a "ROCK" hall of fame while Yes was snubbed. Chris Squire would have been better honored if Howe would have walked off the stage with Chris' bass, refusing to perform.
90125 was the first album I was familiar with (and then Drama) and I agree with you. Early 70s is my favorite but I enjoy this album immensely and this rendition is a great one with a mix of Wakeman thrown in.
What I love the most about Yes is their natural instinct to turn a 4 minute song into a 7 minute jam and you still want them to play the song another 5, 10 minutes.
@TUO___ I didn't discredit new music. There are many new things that are excellent. I sample and buy new current music every week. But there is more content that is not original, inspired or informed by what came before.
That’s funny, because in the 80s, progressive rock fans were complaining about how yes sold out with 90125. The reality is that great music keeps getting made, and older fans don’t take the time to listen to it because they are so welded to the music of their youth that they don’t bother to experience new things with an open mind. 90125 was one of the first concerts I ever saw, and I remember all of the progressive snobs crapping on this iteration of the band because it wasn’t the same as fragile or close to the edge.
@@richardberman2778 I have to agree with people having a certain age that they stop being interested in new music. Personally, I don't get it. I will always have an interest in new music that is good. Good music will always transport you somewhere. There is a ton of great music available. My Shazam app works overtime. I hear things everywhere.
@@la7dfathey changed the lyrics considerably. Trevor's lyrics were "you don't want to go dancing, you're scared of romancing," etc. Thankfully, they changed all of that. But he still had a great idea musically, with a catchy hook. It all did the trick.
Great bass playing by Steve Howe. I think Chris would be honored by this wonderful tribute to one of rock's greatest bassists ever, especially as performed by a former band mate who wasn't even in Yes in 1983.
I can. Because I was having such a great time when I was listening to them when it was happening. Almost 70 years now and many a rockin time being young and loving life listening to these guys!!!❤❤❤
I first saw them in Asbury Park, New Jersey at Convention Hall in 1972 for $3.00. The first band was The Eagles and no one had ever heard of them. Life changing event.
Jon’s voice here is absolutely outstanding not forgetting he was really poorly 12 or so years ago with respiratory failure, pure class he still has it 👍
Man, when this started, first thing I thought, how was Trevor going to replicate that legendary tone from the intro riff, and especially the solo. He nailed it! Love it
Jon Anderson makes me glad to be alive, in any planet of his choosing, wherever that is , we should all move there with him. He is not of this universe ❤
90125 is one the best albums all time....progresive rock, at high level with one pop song..make the real thing....yes is a institute of rock n roll.....the great teachers.....thx yes...
Agreed. I'll never forgive myself for missing them on this tour when they came through my town. To be fair I wasn't born for 2 more years. But still LOL.
It's amazing to me how great and strong Jon Anderson's voice still is. Wow. By contrast, when Joe Elliott from Def Leppard does his falsetto now, he whispers into the microphone. No disrespect to Joe, but Jon still has power in the upper register.
Along with good health I think part of that has to do with the fact that Jon's speaking voice is naturally so high. Similar to Roger Taylor from Queen.
Considering the respiratory illness he had starting in 2008 almost killed him, and his voice was a shell of its former self until at least 2012, the fact that he can sing at all is just shy of a miracle.
I saw Rabbit in South Africa in the seventies and was a fantastic band/ live show! At that point I realized that Trevor Rabin will become famous as a song writer and brilliant guitarist! His parents both were classical trained and professional mussos!
There are a lot of Hall of Fame performances from over the hill classic rockers to chose from on TH-cam. This performance is from an old band who have found themselves on the wrong side of the hill many times in their career but this performance gives us a group of men at the top of their game. It’s not embarrassing, it’s exhilarating. P.S. I love Rick’s cape.
It is the old timers who are still doing things with a real passion. Performances that don't say nothing about age, because they're revitalized by the gift of real music, made with real talent and not with lifeless formulas...
Steve howe is Yes guitar. Great grace from him to not only be sidelined here by another guitar player Rabin but to also play a Rickenbacker in honour oc CS.
@@senorboston4076 You're so right. even though I am from South Africa and truly admire the achievements of Trevor Rabin, Steve Howe was and still is the man
@@senorboston4076 - nobody who actually plays guitar would agree with this. Both are phenomenal players for entirely different reasons; apples and oranges to compare them in this way.
1? Who is the unsung hero of Yes? Yes it's always the one one that pours more sweat of their brow. In this case it's Alan White. It's always the drummer that spends more energy and sweat in playing. All the others generally get the credit. So, for once, can someone second a cheer for Alan White.
For me the most astounding thing about this performance is the fact that Jon Anderson was 72 years old when he sang Owner Of A Lonely Heart IN THE ORIGINAL KEY which means D4 with breast voice!!!
Chris deserved to be there more than anyone. I can just picture in my mind him standing proud on that stage with his signature smile. His acceptance speech would have been something to look forward to as well.
This group was my favorite back in the days, they had the smoothest and crisp band of them all, plus the vocals, how can he still sing like this at 70plus, and the guitar, that thing is heaven on earth.............................
Just Wow! Mind blown! i must have heard this song thousands of times during high school, but to hear them perform it live, it sounds better than ever, Sooooo much talent in one band!
See Geddy Lee play base on Roundabout was amazing. See Steve play a red Chris Squire Rickenbacker bass on Owner Of A Lonely Heart was surreal. I wonder how long it took Steve to learn it.
Fascinating Steve Howe taking Chris's bas part. As a former bassist myself, I'd say he's slightly before the beat whereas Chris was later slightly behind it with a greater swing. I'm thoroughly hetero myself. but I have to say I've had a lifetime crush for Chris Squire. The first bass player I was ever aware of as a teenager.
This is a great performance that proves that this song is not just a popular song of the 80s, but is still relevant today. There are probably still many problems between the members, but I think it was good for the band that almost all the members gathered together to perform this performance.

Always feels like there are three levels for these HoF performances 1) OK: thanks for the memories 2)Huh: they still got it 3) Wow: that is amazing! Thanks Yes for being amazing!
The phrase "Owner of a Lonely Heart" symbolizes someone who is experiencing feelings of loneliness and isolation. It suggests that the person feels alone and lacks meaningful connections with others. The lyrics of the song explore themes of love, relationships, and the longing for companionship. The song's title and lyrics have been interpreted in different ways by listeners, but generally, it reflects the universal human desire for love, connection, and the struggle to find fulfillment in relationships.
That was awesome. What's more cool is that 'rock stars' were never supposed to be still playing past 50 years old, now they're still rocking well into their 70s.
woaw.Rabin ,howe and wakeman are still able to do the job.anderson is impressing here,he sing perfectly,did not missed a beat. loved how geddy rended chris parts in a sparkling manner.
Howe seems to have enjoyed playing bass in honor of Chris on this song on this night then he enjoyed playing guitar on this song on the tours I saw them play this. And with Wakeman on keys and the “jam” at the end it was like 70s Yes meets 80s Yes. Very cool.
First of all, let's get this strait, he's a legend, second, this song sooooo fits well with todays world. Pick, whats better. (Bdw, the ol gang is having a blast playing here!)
Steve Howe is one of the most versatile musicians of our time! He nails the Reichenbacker just like Chris Squire would have played it if he were still here! Bravo Steve!!
Respect is a very small word for these guys, sometimes we forget that despite not being their ultra fans maybe they influenced someone we are fans of. Great musicians, great artists, so great they're still around 🙏🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fuck Owner of a Lonely Heart, they should've played And You And I. Yes once got a 10-minute ovation at the Madison Square Garden after playing that song. This is their induction to the RRHOF and people need to know about this song!
Steve Howe playing a Rickenbacker bass in honour of Chris Squire = One of the coolest things ever.
have to say,thats one slick bassline.as a drummer firstly and a bass player secondly,its a very underestimated part.damn cool for me to even jam to.
and dancing and moving all over the stage !!!! Priceless....
Unmistakable sound, awesome
Yes....
. . . Chris Squire-RUles!!!!
How does Jon Anderson still sing at this level at 70 plus? Amazing vocals!
My mind is just blown. He is INCREDIBLE!
fact. and aged well too. legend
Check out the song he did recently with Tom Bukovac. Trip the witch-Saturn we Miss you. Absolutely phenomenal track! His voice is still great.
Buff. Same question wondering 😲
last time I was at my aikido dojo, this older instructor chastised me for being too eager. He said I wasn't a kid anymore and I'd hurt myself badly. I was 48 at the time and he was right, I hadn't recognized my aging. The following week, he was awarded his black belt and they announced his 70th birthday. This guy could toss me around like a rag doll and was a gentle septuagenarian. Blew my mind. Apparently 70 isn't dead, who knew...
Holy Crap, Jon Anderson’s voice hasn't faded. So many vocalist voices fade in their older years. Not Jon's!
Apparently not! Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran still sounds the same too. There are not many
Is Jon Anderson 73 here?? Unbelievable! Awesome!
😊
Robert Plant hasn't either.
In his last album 1001 Hands he still sounds the same. And he is a year away to be 80!!!
Jon Anderson’s voice sounds awesome!!!
Agree !!
I agree, he sounds great
Sounds like the record, amazing!!
Still the same as in the 80s when this cut was recorded
I saw them on the 90125 tour in the Nassau County Coliseum on Long Island. I think they sound better here than they did that night and I am amazed that Anderson's voice has held out the way it has. I am not even a huge Yes fan, but when somebody executes well, it should be acknowledged.
It’s always really impressive when a band can nail all of the parts, vocals included, from a song that they wrote decades ago.
Completely agree.
Such a great iconic song, never tire of hearing. 😍😎
To me this has been so far the best R'n'R HoF performance by far by any inductee, it's just full of energy that usually only younger performers have. These guys are just such a masterclass of how to perform their hits live.
Just as impressive is that basically the whole band can play any instrument. Such talent and they have given me a lot of good times in bad times.
It is not even a true Yes song
Ok, I know he has a high natural voice, but dang Jon can still sing so well for his age. I had such a smile on my face hearing the perfection of his singing on this song in particular. Also, nobody's talking enough about Trevor nailing the guitar parts.
Watching Steve Howe play the crap out of that bass guitar was so much fun. He seemed to be having a great time doing so and honoring Chris Squire whose presence was so sadly missed at the ceremony. RIP Chris!
Well said. I cried when I saw he was playing a Ricky.
and that was HIS bass
I was about to say the same. Good call.
If "Yes" really wanted to "Honor" Chris Squire they either should have rejected their induction into the "R & R" OR when they got on stage, asked the audience WHY this took so long.
Chris Squire Died while Donna Summer and Madonna were inducted into a "ROCK" hall of fame while Yes was snubbed.
Chris Squire would have been better honored if Howe would have walked off the stage with Chris' bass, refusing to perform.
Kudos to Trevor Rabin, singularly bringing YES into the 80's with a new generation a millions of new fans with this and 90125. Absolutely brilliant.

Right on! So glad I got to experience these decades or music in real time.

Rick Wakeman on synths. Yeah baby!
Steve playing homage to Chris by playing the bass and dancing around the stage like crazy is fucking awesome
RIP: Alan White (1949-2022)
Thank you for this wonderful song! ^^
Trevor Rabin nailed it on guitar. He really was an asset to YES.
Transformed their sound on 90215
He created Owner of a lonely heart. They changed the lyrics but not much much more I think.
proudly South African export. ex Rabbitt member.. love his music ❤
@@la7dfa Trevor Horn added a lot of the quirky gimmicks that made it ear candy, and perhaps changed the groove a bit.

I think Chris would be honored by Geddy playing Roundabout.
@@jdoesmath2065that too. I think Chris was up there smiling and playing angelic air bass with them.
God damn Trevor shred that guitar
And Steve Howe owning the bass not to be missed of course
These legendary "geezers" have more fun in theyr 70's then most young will have in theyr entire lifetime....prove me wrong.
I can. Because I was having such a great time when I was listening to them when it was happening. Almost 70 years now and many a rockin time being young and loving life listening to these guys!!!❤❤❤
The whole 90125 album was a monster.
Could put the needle on the record and just let it go.
Agreed! One of the best albums to come out of the 80’s!
The best album they did full stop 👍👍
Agreed. What all is said and done, it's one of my all-time favorites.
There isn't a weak track on the album and I love the a capella version of Leave it the best.
I first saw them in Asbury Park, New Jersey at Convention Hall in 1972 for $3.00. The first band was The Eagles and no one had ever heard of them. Life changing event.
Saw them on that tour as well. 9/22/72 My 1st. The Eagles only had one album. Original lineup
@@21focusme They brought a different way of understanding music that changed many lives, my own included.
They are great.. go Trevor Rabin
Jon’s voice here is absolutely outstanding not forgetting he was really poorly 12 or so years ago with respiratory failure, pure class he still has it 👍
Considering he was also about 73 at this time as well. He still hits notes that I never could.
Man, when this started, first thing I thought, how was Trevor going to replicate that legendary tone from the intro riff, and especially the solo. He nailed it! Love it
Jon Anderson makes me glad to be alive, in any planet of his choosing, wherever that is , we should all move there with him. He is not of this universe ❤
I've been in awe of Rick Wakeman for almost 50 years. The best.
Never saw this, didn't realize he was at the HOF induction. Such a crucial part of them.
One of the best guitar solos ever recorded.
Steve Howe's unselfish bass playing on this is great!
It is unselfish, I think. It's really nice to see.
If anybody earned the right to play Chris's bass lines, it would be Steve. So many years together.
What do you mean by unselfish?
@@Thats_Unfortunate Howe is a very humble individual.
@@Thats_Unfortunate I guess "unselfish" means he didn't overplay, as a lead guitarist might be tempted to do.
Jon Anderson is quite possibly the finest countertenor in rock/pop music.
This has to be the only band who sounds this tight in thier old age. My hat is off, my lighter is held high!
Trevor's clean tone is so fucking rich - I love it every time I hear it. I love Steve Howe, but Trevor Rabin had some excellent contributions.
I do like Trevor's sound and playing. He's such a good guitarist for rock but prefers to write sound tracts to movies! Real artist.
One of the bands' best performances. Steve is brilliant on bass and Alan was still kickin' it! Jon Anderson remains the true voice of Yes.
This is what talented and real musicians should sound like, FLAWLESS!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Now that’s a band!!!!! No egos, just play😊
This is the version of YES that should be Touring
90125 is one the best albums all time....progresive rock, at high level with one pop song..make the real thing....yes is a institute of rock n roll.....the great teachers.....thx yes...
Agreed. I'll never forgive myself for missing them on this tour when they came through my town. To be fair I wasn't born for 2 more years. But still LOL.
It's amazing to me how great and strong Jon Anderson's voice still is. Wow. By contrast, when Joe Elliott from Def Leppard does his falsetto now, he whispers into the microphone. No disrespect to Joe, but Jon still has power in the upper register.

@@HarveyBacktheBeatles Excellent point.
i agree completely. these guys are amazingly tight and upbeat for their age. a true example of how to perform well at an older age.

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances, win or loser
See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you, and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Say, you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You, lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
After my own indecision
They confused me so
Owner of a lonely heart
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap
Owner of a lonely heart
And don't you hesitate at all, no no
Yow!
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
(Much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion
Will decide the lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart
It will excite, it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Just receive it
(Owner of a lonely heart)

That was awesome. What's more cool is that 'rock stars' were never supposed to be still playing past 50 years old, now they're still rocking well into their 70s.
woaw.Rabin ,howe and wakeman are still able to do the job.anderson is impressing here,he sing perfectly,did not missed a beat. loved how geddy rended chris parts in a sparkling manner.
This is the happiest I've ever seen Steve since the 70s, he should really get his act together and rejoin Jon and Rick.
Dear Alan
thanks for your fantastic rolls and solid groove. It still sounds in my head your breaks in instant Karma are wonderful..
AW is the best of the best... You have fine taste indeed, Sir :)
a definition of "age like a fine wine"
Well, I consider it a masterpiece. Congratulations. From Rio Brazil.
Tb a considero uma masterpiece. Excelente melodia com perfectas variações.
Howe seems to have enjoyed playing bass in honor of Chris on this song on this night then he enjoyed playing guitar on this song on the tours I saw them play this. And with Wakeman on keys and the “jam” at the end it was like 70s Yes meets 80s Yes. Very cool.
Bar bands will still be playing this classic in 3021
True talent does not fade or age...! ❤
Watch and learn people this is a wonderful band..
WOW. some bands age. but YES sounds literally perfect in this! instruments, vox, the groove. unreal talent!
First of all, let's get this strait, he's a legend, second, this song sooooo fits well with todays world. Pick, whats better.
(Bdw, the ol gang is having a blast playing here!)
AWESOME!! that rythm moves a dead man from its graveyard!!
WRITER AN RADIO BROADCASTER SINCE 1992.
"YES" VETERAN FAN FROM SPAIN.
Steve's performance on the bass for this is perfect.
Saw them in concert with the original members. They are awesome musicians.
Awesome live version of this song and the boys nailed it. What legends and RIP Mr. Alan White!
VOCATIONAL IS TALENT NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY. IT IS IN ALL. 2:10
This was my favorite Yes song
Mine as well. I bought the album in 88 and wore my cassette out. Then I went through their back catalog and was F'kin mind blown
I always liked 'looking around' from I think their first album, but this is brill! What a voice JA has got
Probably like the 99% of Yes fans.
@@jzayas5698 IDK, I think Roundabout is more popular because of the To Be Continued meme
@P Pp I can like whatever I want.
Steve Howe is one of the most versatile musicians of our time! He nails the Reichenbacker just like Chris Squire would have played it if he were still here! Bravo Steve!!
With the legendary Rick Wakeman on the synths
My respects to Jon Anderson and Yes fond memories 🤙🇬🇧
Respect is a very small word for these guys, sometimes we forget that despite not being their ultra fans maybe they influenced someone we are fans of. Great musicians, great artists, so great they're still around 🙏🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fuck Owner of a Lonely Heart, they should've played And You And I. Yes once got a 10-minute ovation at the Madison Square Garden after playing that song. This is their induction to the RRHOF and people need to know about this song!
I totally agree! That’s always been my FAVORITE Yes song!
