It’s really great that you’ve highlighted Chris’s genius in this song. Most of the modern digital files have pretty much EQ’d it out. Yes without bass?!? I can’t stand it!
That's what I was going to say. Thanks for showing us what was really the bass line. Since we don't have access to the original isolated tracks like Steven Wilson, to make our own mix, with the bass level HIGH!
Probably my favourite of all your uploads. Absolutely revelatory. Who knew that was all hidden in the mix? And I also enjoyed your singing harmonies. Charming 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much! It was a revelation for me as well because I never had dived so deep into this bassline. Absolutely fascinating to search and trying to extrapolate Chris' thoughts to construct this bass part.
One of greatest Yes' mysteries revealed. 90% of today YesFans never saw Chris' fingers on fretboard playing this song live - not counting old lucky guys who went on Topographic Tour concerts. Very tricky bass figures here. Even on good audio, with good headphones, with my ear opened for smallest detail, very often i've lost the track with bass line on this song. It's not ussual Squire style. To me it always sounded more like Wetton. Once again, thank you Miguel for your brave and imaginative approach. Those aspects were something i truly adored in Yes and honestly, your work is one of the very few things, that keeps my love for Chris and YesMusic still living.
The same for me over the years about the bass line in this track... I tryied to guess some bits of the bass and today I hear the whole thing and I know that Miguel is doing it with perfection.... I know how he is a perfectionnist, I trust him...
@@lionelgibaudan3592 looks like we're on the same spot:-) It took me years of expertise how to sort out and put togheter the bass notes from 11:14 to 12:14 and i always failed. Now i can see how things really are. It sounds like a half-free form/half-well organised clever trick.
Thank you Art and Lionel! One of the big challenges was exactly to detect patterns that bring coherence to the idealization of the bassline. Of course we cannot be always 100% sure but that preliminary work, helped me to identify some of those patterns, which may indicate the intentions of Chris, and, to me at least, make sense within the song's structure. Lionel's example was precisely one of the cases.
It beggars belief that Yes never played this stuff again after 74. Yes fans would have been over the moon if they had announced a tour playing this stuff again when the original members were still alive. Imagine if they had recreated the 70s tours with the music and stage sets. It would have been a huge hit. instead we get the dross that is modern day yes. Who cares if they play the old stuff when its only Steve howe and a bunch of Americans. And geoff of course but he can't really play Wakeman and Moraz's stuff
to be fair it takes years of musicianship to catch up to the leading edge. live in '73, who had any sense of the structures? Steve and Billy are up to playng this live if fans wiil consistently request it. and Geoff ? he may actually be able to play Remembering, esp if he's not too proud to let a sequencer help for those long slow synth beats that did in Rick@@uv77mc85
Definitely not a tune for the feint of heart. Really impressive playing as always. I commend you for taking on all of these challenging songs and mastering them. It seems like you could join up with some like minded musicians and form a Yes tribute band...maybe you already have. One other observation: so much of Yes music is driven by Steve Howe's brilliant parts, whether solos or all the elaborate and nuanced licks. Of course, it goes without saying that Squire's bass lines really shine--they're just so original.
All i can say is that you must be a very rich person that has purchased all the original recorded tapes and isolated to hear just the bass track! I mean, how do you pick out all the correct notes! Lol. Absolutely splendid miguel
FAN - TAS -TIC .... you make Chris being back with us.... I was not conscient that Chris used the Jazz Bass in this 'song' Thanks for your efforts, Miguel
Wonderful! As always - your bass playing skill never ceases to amaze!! Thanks for doing this and for keeping Chris Squire ‘alive’ in the way you do! Stay healthy and happy ~ Peace.
Sounds like the mighty 70s where there was plenty of Tales from Topographic Oceans if you would just listen and enjoy the ride that was/is YES. What a treat to experience this played a couple years ago live, and now to hear Miguel play and sing it. Go, YES! Go, Miguel!
Speechless... Chris was able to build so terrific basslines, but it's just a piece of cake for you ! Incredible performance on bass and vocals for one of the most difficult piece of Yes music IMO. It's a real HUGE performance and further proof of your undeniable talent. I guessed some of your work on your instagram, you must have worked really hard to make it musical and natural like you did there... Chris still lives and it is thanks to you.
Hi Mark! Yes I did a lot of practice - intensive, after getting my notes organized, to play them as I thought Chris would play them, and trying to make them fluent. Happy new Year and thank you!
@@miguelbass it's much more than fluent, it sounds so natural which is a real feat for such a complex piece .... Happy New Year 2021 Miguel i wish you the best
@8:31 - I have listened to this song for nearly 50 years now, and I only suspected Chris was playing this section with ... something. All my friends assumed it was some kind of percussion, now I feel vindicated that it was indeed Chris all along. I know this song gets trashed, but I have always loved the first 13 minutes of Ancient - it is as daring and adventurous as Yes ever got. Thank you for this outstanding bass cover.
Thank you very much, Joseph. I'm glad that my video brought you new insights - as, especially this song, brings every time I hear it. It is a never ending pool of surprises and it requires time and open mindness. Maybe that's why not every fan digested it well.
Fantastic! So well played! I had no idea Chris contributed so much to The Ancient. Did he use some sort of envelope filter or ring modulator on his electric bass parts?
Miguel, te invejava, no melhor dos sentidos, hoje te admiro, és o grande representante de Chris no mundo, e tenho agora como inspiração. Parabéns e sucesso sempre.
Wow, this was such a well-made video, with so much attention to every detail. Well done! It couldn't have been easy to play perfectly in sync with all those free-time start-stop sections. Never one of my favorite Yes sons, but you really made it come alive. Thanks!
Thank you very much! Yes especially those passages required a lot of listening, and a great lot of missed takes :))) I'm happy that you liked this song a little more - it deserves more love than it usually gets!
Nice Job! During the past couple of weeks I've been making a full-band transcription and starting a recording of this tune, just for personal interest, to study the music + production in greater depth. You've helped me fill some gaps and discover some nuances in these bass parts. Thanks so much, I'm sure I'm not alone in being appreciative of all the study, scholarship, time and effort you put into these works and share with us.
I´ve discovered you yesterday. Normally, I can listen a Yes' song just focusing the bass on Mr Squire, being such a delight. And now you're making even more audible, and discovering some sounds lowered in the mix. Amazing. Tremendous effort, thanks a lot!!! There's two big one's left, Ritual and Gates of Delirium, I guess they are very, very hard to play, but I'm sure you have it in mind Saludos desde Madrid
Thank you very much! That was precisely the goal... for those like you, who care for those basslines somewhat hidden behind the mix. All the best from your neighbour. Saludos desde Coimbra, Portugal.
your appreciation for Steve's constantly detailed background also shines in your mix. fans have noticed that Steve's wild solo seems to coincide with the entire series of odd (3, 5, 7, 11, 13) meters. then there's big beats that seem to unite that complexity... Can you share anything about the use of polymeter in The Ancient ?
Hello Leo! Could you please locate the solo that you are referring to? I hadn't heard of that identification of the series of odd meters. In general I haven't studied it in that perspective.
Absolutely wonderful. i'm a bass player & this has always been one of my favourite pieces of music by Yes, even though it has had a lot of criticism over the years. Tremendous playing
Nice shot of the conjunction. This album is always an interesting journey and you added to it with all the scenery - amazing work! Great job with the harmonies as well as the video editing. Wishing you the best!
Hi Dave! I took the video shot some days before the conjunction but it was quite near, and also with the moon around it turned out nicely. Then during the editing, weeks later, I remembered it and I thought it made sense in that section. Thank you and Happy new Year!
This is one crazy track and I have long looked forward to seeing how you can manage it and it is as ever marvelous. What next? Ritual (live Yesshows version without the annoying fade in the middle)?
DUDE! You did an amazing job! I've had this album on repeat all week & just now saw that you uploaded this! Still waiting for a cover of Safe (Canon) 🙂
Belíssimo trabalho, Miguel!... Finalmente consegui entender um pouquinho mais dessa doidura que é o Tales, o disco que mais ouvi na vida! Parabéns! e Obrigado!
Another impressive video! Well done! I'm just wondering whatever happened to your covers from the Relayer album...those were some of my all-time favorite videos to watch. Keep them coming!!
Great work, Miguel! Today I recogniced, that you didn't play a bass cover from "No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed" until now. :) Have you planed to do this later? Would be very nice! It's a also a great bass-line!
Hi Curtis. Yes, well - it was mentioned by Chris in some interviews that I collected over the years. There is also live footage on TH-cam. Thanks for watching!
Perdi a conta! Só naquela para maluca antes do acústico devo ter passado mais de uma semana a aprender as notas, como aliás fui registando e partilhando no Facebook. Um abraço
Nicely done, Miguel! I'll bet about half way through figuring all that out you were thinking "What have I gotten myself into?!" 😆 Question unrelated to Chris' bass work on this: I'm guessing part of the appeal of "The Ancient" for you is Steve's acoustic playing. But what would your countrymen who are students of Spanish guitar think of his playing? Would they find merit in it, or would they dismiss it the same way people like Leonard Bernstein dismissed Kieth Emerson's attempts at classical piano?
About "Spanish guitar", I can't comment on the Spanish native perspective because I am Portuguese. However I think Steve has assimilated in his (very successful) way some elements of Spanish guitar styles (e.g. Flamenco) - in the same way that he also applied classical guitar and american folk guitar styles to his playing. I think Spanish natives, especially those familiar with Flamenco music, will find more of a "foreign accent" on Steve's incursions, but in any case I don't think those aim to be completely faithful - Rather reflections of his influences withing his very personal guitar playing style. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays.
yes fantastic bass playing, i love the tales, where have you found your t shirt about the little prehistoric fish (shandrelia truc much), i would get the same
Philippe. The T-shirt was a sort of campaign in the facebook group "Thank you Chris Squire! - It was not a merchandise product but if you ask there maybe you can get some more information! Thanks!
your visual composition of tuning-pegs seems to reflect yest another scripture: "no eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no appearance..." [ Heart Sutra, Nalanda translation ]
Qué grande Maestro! Hermoso trabajo! Escuchando tu bajo se me ocurrió compartirte este gracioso video de Serú Girán de 1978: un temazo con un solo de bajo increíble para disfrutar! Abrazo grande y buen 2021 desde Argentina! m.th-cam.com/video/QdN5TIQfOEA/w-d-xo.html
This track always bugged me, Steve pushing everyone out of the way with endless notes...Rick with nothing to do but chord washes...most disjointed yes ever...but flashes of melody rhythm and more as Alan and Chris went their own way here. and a couple of nice tunes. Ah Kin indeed.....
Rick does not play just 'chord washes' on this track (though they are very effective where he does play them). The opening section has him playing a bubbling, very Wakemanesque rapid organ figure throughout (one that first appeared on 'Six Wives' and would reappear on 'White Rock'). After 'they marched as one with the earth' there's a section featuring him playing a stately lead figure on his Mellotron and Moog. After that he carries the second melody after each of the two 'names of the sun' rounds, he trades the lead line on Moog, with Howe, in the short 7/4 interval between them, and he reappears with a countermelody line on Moog during 'Leaves of Green'.
It's possibly my favorite arrangement Yes ever did. As soon as I first heard the album this was the track that amazed me. Wakeman does some wild mellotron chords-- really dissonant-- at one point. And the percussion arrangement is one of the best of three incredible ones in 1973: "Toccata" by ELP, "Larks Tongues in Aspic part one" by King Crimson, and "The Ancient." But Yes, Steve is the highlight throughout-- his mad Stravinsky period. I like the fact that this song is mostly instrumental. It represents the pinnacle of artistic freedom in 70s prog.

One of those moments of intense magic 🎶💚🐠 thank you for watching!
It’s really great that you’ve highlighted Chris’s genius in this song. Most of the modern digital files have pretty much EQ’d it out. Yes without bass?!? I can’t stand it!
i love how you've done side two and three, the two least popular and most neglected tracks off the album
That was clearly intentional. I'm glad you support that ;) Thanks Corey
two standout sides musicians lke to study- except that one keyboardist.... who passed on learning his own role in Remembering? **sigh**
Absolutely incredible. Topographic Oceans geeks thank you from the bottom of their hearts!
Definitely will try something more from Tales. Thank you and Happy new Year!
One of my favorite Yes albums. I think people didn’t get it because it’s pretty long. I love it!
been listening to this song since the late 70's and never knew what Chris was doing until now. Thank you so so much
Thank you Neal! I wish you Happy new Year!

@@Rowenband thanks for coming back, Chris! Have a nice day 🎵

Hi Paul! Happy new Year and thank you very much.
Did you conclude that the Jazz Bass was used on the original recording? Great video once again
Hi Curtis. Yes, well - it was mentioned by Chris in some interviews that I collected over the years. There is also live footage on TH-cam. Thanks for watching!
Awesome......Killer Job. Do you know if Chris recorded this track with his Jazz Bass that he played on "Parallels"?
Hi Lee! Yes it is the same one! Happy new Year!
Wow, so great to hear someone playing this so well! What effect do you have on there?
Hello Dave. This was a wah-pedal by Helix. Thank you very much!
Os meus parabéns Miguel. Abraço
Muito obrigado, amigo. Bom ano, um abraço!
Esse álbum é bem desafiador, mandou bem demais Miguel. Ouviu quantas vezes essa música pra conseguir tirar ela?
Perdi a conta! Só naquela para maluca antes do acústico devo ter passado mais de uma semana a aprender as notas, como aliás fui registando e partilhando no Facebook. Um abraço
Amazing!
Thank you!! Happy new Year!
Nicely done, Miguel! I'll bet about half way through figuring all that out you were thinking "What have I gotten myself into?!" 😆
Question unrelated to Chris' bass work on this: I'm guessing part of the appeal of "The Ancient" for you is Steve's acoustic playing. But what would your countrymen who are students of Spanish guitar think of his playing? Would they find merit in it, or would they dismiss it the same way people like Leonard Bernstein dismissed Kieth Emerson's attempts at classical piano?
About "Spanish guitar", I can't comment on the Spanish native perspective because I am Portuguese. However I think Steve has assimilated in his (very successful) way some elements of Spanish guitar styles (e.g. Flamenco) - in the same way that he also applied classical guitar and american folk guitar styles to his playing. I think Spanish natives, especially those familiar with Flamenco music, will find more of a "foreign accent" on Steve's incursions, but in any case I don't think those aim to be completely faithful - Rather reflections of his influences withing his very personal guitar playing style. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays.
Carnations for diplomacy,@@miguelbass
yes fantastic bass playing, i love the tales, where have you found your t shirt about the little prehistoric fish (shandrelia truc much), i would get the same
Philippe. The T-shirt was a sort of campaign in the facebook group "Thank you Chris Squire! - It was not a merchandise product but if you ask there maybe you can get some more information! Thanks!
Wow !!!
Thanks for watching - Happy new Year!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
your visual composition of tuning-pegs seems to reflect yest another scripture: "no eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue,
no body, no mind; no appearance..." [ Heart Sutra, Nalanda translation ]
That is beautiful. I will try finding that book. Thank you Leo.
What's the name of the acoustic bass?
Hi Koko, it's a model for Fado bass players, projected by luthier Tó Moliças
What was in Chris’s cup when he came on stage?
octave playing juice
It depended on the cup's colour :))
Qué grande Maestro! Hermoso trabajo!
Escuchando tu bajo se me ocurrió compartirte este gracioso video de Serú Girán de 1978: un temazo con un solo de bajo increíble para disfrutar!
Abrazo grande y buen 2021 desde Argentina!

Muchas gracias Darío. Obrigado pela tua partilha e feliz ano novo!
is this the Steven Wilson remix?
yes, i think it is. you can tell at 2:22 from the extra notes you couldn't hear on the original
Yes, Norman - although I have remixed the 5.1 tracks to accommodate my own bass and vocals. Thanks for watching - Happy new Year!
This track always bugged me, Steve pushing everyone out of the way with endless notes...Rick with nothing to do but chord washes...most disjointed yes ever...but flashes of melody rhythm and more as Alan and Chris went their own way here. and a couple of nice tunes. Ah Kin indeed.....
Rick does not play just 'chord washes' on this track (though they are very effective where he does play them). The opening section has him playing a bubbling, very Wakemanesque rapid organ figure throughout (one that first appeared on 'Six Wives' and would reappear on 'White Rock'). After 'they marched as one with the earth' there's a section featuring him playing a stately lead figure on his Mellotron and Moog. After that he carries the second melody after each of the two 'names of the sun' rounds, he trades the lead line on Moog, with Howe, in the short 7/4 interval between them, and he reappears with a countermelody line on Moog during 'Leaves of Green'.
It's possibly my favorite arrangement Yes ever did. As soon as I first heard the album this was the track that amazed me. Wakeman does some wild mellotron chords-- really dissonant-- at one point. And the percussion arrangement is one of the best of three incredible ones in 1973: "Toccata" by ELP, "Larks Tongues in Aspic part one" by King Crimson, and "The Ancient." But Yes, Steve is the highlight throughout-- his mad Stravinsky period. I like the fact that this song is mostly instrumental. It represents the pinnacle of artistic freedom in 70s prog.
I’ve seen ‘people’ say if this was a KC song it would be considered a masterpiece.
Not the end ...imho.....that’s pure Yes.
@@MrFy2013 true true.
Nice discussion here my friends! Thanks for watching and being at the premiere - Happy new Year!
What effect are you using?
It was a wah pedal of the Helix plugin. Thanks for watching!
