- Gemini TV Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe Rehearsal taped while I was preparing lasers for tour. I am at added clip end of video walking down drum riser stairs during rehersal. Rare always behind the camera never in front.
The greatest musicians on this or any other planet❣️❣️❣️🪐🪐🪐⭐️⭐️⭐️🎵🎼🎶🔈🔉🔊👍👍👍😎
I was there all five days at the Tait Towers in Lititz,Pa… spent HOURS with Jon talking about the harmonic convergence and life, etc. Even gave Jon a ride back to the Eden Resort in Lancaster where they were staying. Saturday morning we spent in Ricks room watching the GFTO rehearsals; Rick didn’t remember ANY of it lol; but did enjoy seeing Steve rolling a hash doobie between takes. Some of the best 5 days in my life. Great times. Jon held my 18 month old daughter too; a picture I’ll always treasure 🙏
Wonderful memories, thanks for sharing!
Rick is one of those rare highly skilled classical pianists who loves to rock out, dresses like that and isn’t a snob at all.
Grandissimo. Wakey is the best!
l saw this lineup and l just love Tony. This was the best ''Yes" lineup l ever saw and l've seen them three times. Having Wakeman there along with Bill's drumming made ALL the difference. The songs sounded _perfect_ and they made the experience FUN _man!_
One of THEE BEST 'Yes' line ups _EVER!_ l'd never seen Bruf & Wakey play together before! lt was an Honour to be there that night in '89! When the album came out and we put it on .....it was ECSTASY for us!! We were WAY more excited for that album than the 90125 album! lt was more like the 'golden years' line up, and the compositions were more captivating, and accomplished! ...And Tony was WONDERFUL! Same with Jeff! THANK YOU boys for your _fine_ craftsmanship on this GEM!
Saw them in Atlanta GA on this tour ❤❤🎉🎉
Rick Wakeman was such an essential element of Yes. The one key element missing from this lineup, of course, was Chris Squire. Tony Levin is a talented man, but Chris was formidable and his vocals also added a key element. Between Wakeman and Squire you’ve got 80% of Yes.
No.
Agreed!
THE BEST BAND OF ALL TIMES ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
this is true
I saw ABWH 2 times August 1989, March, 1990
Spectrum Philadelphia
Pennsylvania.
Tony Levin, Julian Colbeck, were excellent as backup musicians.
Seen YES 65 times 1974-2019.
It has been a good run!
Levin in jean-shorts and a self-portrait guitar: epic.
thats also before that bass was in a house fire, now that bass has his self portrait with a burn afro now
This is Fantastic! I love the ABWH Line up! The CD and DVD are Masterpieces! And now this Rehearsal is going directly to My Heart! Thank You! Sincerely from My Soul!
Just saw Anderson Rabin and Wakeman. It was awesome!
Scott ~ OH! l BET it was awesome! Many people dont know just how FANTASTIC Rabin's chops are! He's a GENIUS! Wakey wasn't on '90125' ...so it was BRILLIANT that they got together! BRAVO to them!
Wakeman is just a monster!
ABWH one of the greatest bands of all time, with a superlative Rick Wakeman (as always!).
most of whats floating around of ABWH is the shoreline show when Tony was ill and did not perform so it's incredible to see footage with him in it
Wow. Hit all those notes so clear in practice!
Saw this show! it was AWESOME! Seen Yes 3x. The ABWH version was _THE BEST_ version! Happy _Seventy Sixth_ birthday tomorrow Jon Anderson!! October 24th 2020!
I remamber when Rich Owner of Gemini who I worked with on many shows gave me a copy of this Rehearsal years ago still one of my best
I recorded this entire rehearsal ( over 27 hours ) in July 1989; it was difficult hiding a camera that size in those days; this is great quality, but misses a ton of the “in between” moments which are the best parts. My buddy Scott Ritsick ( rip ) also recorded the majority of the rehearsals; from behind Bills drum kit. It’s a gem I’ll never give up! ❤
Thanks so much..for share.....great band as always...great arrangements
Just found this gem! Thanks for sharing this
Saw this tour opening night in Memphis at Mud Island, then again in Houston when Tony got sick. Left Houston that night to Red Rocks Colorado which got cancelled cause Tony hospitalized. Several hundred yes fans showed up that night not knowing the show was cancelled, so we all just sat at RR, singing songs. Even had a rainbow over the stage that would have been about the time the show would have started! But never saw lasers on the tour?? Great tape to see! Thanks so much.
The camera operator must have been drunk. He's all over the place, without a clue. Need to take Dramamine to watch this.
Would have loved to have seen these guys live! Thank you for sharing this!
That is Tony Levin on bass in the back!! I never knew he played with Yes at all!!
Anthony Bielik Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe- but I suppose that is splitting hairs.
Jeff Berlin also played with them for a few dates. His version of the baas part of Heart of the Sunrise is amazing.
The live CTTE with Bruford and Berlin is probably the best one I have heard.
Levin played on the ABWH album and was supposed to do this tour, but got ill about 3 dates into the tour. Jeff Berlin finished the tour
@@drummadave tony alao sat in for a show in Chicago at McCormick place when chris was ill. Only one show i believe. Back on on Missouri the next night. Unbelievable. 27 yes shows and only dissapointed once and it was not the bands fault. A few sound techs probably went to a less talented band after that.
Thank you, for filming and posting it! Muito obrigado.
Ahhhhh The Meeting, que hermosa canción
I think it was a time when Anderson and Howe don't fight each other. Oldest time sometimes very good times.
Wakeman is the supreme ruler of the cosmos.
Although they couldn’t call this line up Yes while on tour, I enjoyed seeing them at the Greek theater in Los Angeles.
It was so refreshing after Rabin had turned his version of Yes into a commercial mainstream band. I really hoped ABWH was going to produce more new material. I was so disappointed when 2 years later they joined Rabin’s lineup for the Union tour.
Was cool hearing Bill drum on CTTE live, and with Tony Levin on bass to boot!
saw this show 5 times,
Cool clip. Thanks for posting, and filtering it for steadiness.
I wonder if there are any more tapes of Levin playing with Yes like this.
ahh the late 80's digital, sample-playback ROMpler era of Yes. I saw this tour and loved it, but man, a certain amount of "edge" is taken out of "Close To The Edge" when the drums are digital samples, the Hammond solo is played on a D-50, and Howe's guitar sound is neutered. At least we have Levin. ;-)
Also, holy moly they were playing the Soul Warrior section really fast!
What a delight thank you for the Post 😀😀
great documentary video !
I taped a MUCH better version these rehearsals at Tait Towers in Lititz, Pa. In July 1989. I have the entire rehearsals from all the dayse, including an interview with me and Jon talking about the harmonic convergence. My wife and 1 year old daiughter were with me. They stayed at the Eden Resort in Lancaater. Jon wlaked back everyday! Steve drove a subaru wagon!
Show me, don't tell me... : )
9 years later. Must be a *really* low bandwidth upload link. :'-(
Yes, show us
@@bigfootpegrandesorry; never.
@@dplzkc6713sorry. Never.
Is this one of THE classic Yes lineups. No disrespect to Chris, but Tony Levin on Bass......wow.
These tempos are really cooking! But perhaps it just seems super fast because I just saw the current 25-years-later Yes a few weeks ago... ;)
Worth it to see Tony Levin steal the stage from Rick Wakeman
Saw this line up at constution hall in dc. Incredible
que gran guitarrista sos Howe
Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe and Levin !
sigue vigente su musica son un clasico
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing
That Wakeman solo during close to edge is great … but the patch sounds cheesy.
Rick tossed his Minimoog because of tuning problems in the heat; and it was HOT in Lititz in July. I agree, the Ensoniq sounds like shit.
💖 DIVINE.💖😍💖🎶💎
this would look so much better with RUclips 'stabilization' feature TAKEN AWAY. If you remove it you'll see how much SMOOTHER the image looks. I have entire rehearsal with the other set, and while this is a generation cleaner, the 'Stabilization' ruins the picture. Of course the audio would be better as well without that. Classic material. 25 years ago.
SandSpock33 The image would not be smoother with stabilization removed. It's easty to tell that it was implemented because the video was shaky as fuck.
Un gran álbum,
el mejor del YES
de los 80’s

Tony Levin jean shorts make this video
is this in 1990 ??? A,B,W,H,,i saw this lineup in madrid in feb 1990, what an amazing concert,with Tony Levin on bass guitar. they played close to the edge album and lots of old stuff from the 70`S.
Great Video why did it cut during Lets Pretend Oh well
Good music
@17:15 is symbiotic brilliance
With Tony Levin!!!
uugh ya! cool session...
I call them ABWHL. They shouldn´t have underappreciated legend Tony Levin. I saw this show and the bass sounds were so low. You can't sacrifice music for your ego
THERE WERE TWO BANDS GOING ON AT THIS TIME. SEE UNION TOUR.
WHITE SQUIRE RABIN AND KAYE WERE IN YES AT THE TIME WITH JON ON VOCAL. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE LOOKING AT ABWH
Tony Levin using funk fingers on Close to the Edge... ?!?
newvultraz Chris Squire played all the old parts with a pick- Tony rarely plays with a pick, so to get more "ass" out of his sound he taped drumsticks to the ends of his fingers to acheive maximum funkitude. Funky?
DarkeningSkies1 He also allowed his thumb to strike the strings almost simultaneously with the pick to achieve the effect that he was known for. He was a great bassist.
Richard Davis He was one of a kind. Loved him.
DarkeningSkies1
Yes, I was surprised that the news bothered me so much, not knowing him. My favorite guitar player had brain surgery some time back, and I know him personally and like him very much, but I did not know Mr. Squire. It still smarted. I do hope that Mr. Howe remains with us for a long time.
The second greatest prog bassist playing in place of the greatest. Interesting, but the richness isn't all there. Still amazing, but...
Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe Levin
do u get it? like baseball/football---how do you practice and feel it/do it, 100%?
As much as I respect bassist Jeff Berlin, I wish they had been able to record a concert while Tony Levin was still on the tour. I'm talking about the 2-cd release called, An Evening of Yes Music Plus, that was recorded at San Jose during the ABWH tour. After all, Levin played on the studio album.
Thats my goto album for and you and i, close to the edge. Tony didnt make the DVD either recorded elsewhere i believe. I think Jeff knew the old material much better than Tony.
They officially released an ABWH show with Tony on CD a few years back, Birmingham NEC 1989.
Evan Keal Is that the version where a firecracker goes off during the super quiet part in And You And I? I’ve never heard anything like that on a live album.
YT Videos In the concert Jon Anderson says, “Saturday night in San Jose! Whoo!”
@@ChromeDestiny do you have a link to that show where we can purchase?
1:53 WHAT in the name of Edward Scissorhand is Tony Levin wearing on his hand????
Funk Fingers... look it up
@@ProphetNine Thanks!
I have to believe this was Bills first day of rehearsal.
His heart was not in it
Who's the backup keyboard player and guitar picker?
Julian Colbeck on keyboards and Milton McDonald on guitar.
Who's the guitar?
Milton MacDonald
Ok let's see the tape!
jon has same look in his eyes as mccartny the real real thing
Tony Levin
ohhh my godddddd ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Does anybody know when this rehearsal was and the start of the first tour date (or at least the pay-per-view show).
It was in late July 1989
Reminds me of why I hated the electronic instruments of the 80's as opposed to the analog raw instruments of the 60's and 70's. It makes these guys sound like they're doing a Yanni tribute concert. Boring.
William Presley i can understand what you mean, though i'd never think talented musicians playing together, adapting themselves for the ''future'', is boring... this is for me a too much nostalgical view of the 60's and 70's... great works came with electronic instruments, and they still need someone to play it, to understand how they work, using them means they understood those new instruments, which is amazing, for me.
It’s because Rick tossed his Moogs!
who is second keyboardist and rhythm guitarist here? And why?
***** yeah, the ABWH studio album has a lot more tracks than 5 people can play. So to be able to present the songs as close to the original as possible, they invited two more musicians. Othervise they would have to change the arrangment a lot. Even so the songs from the ABWH album sound a little empty here. The classic Yes songs were recorded and played in 5 people but songs like Brother Of Mine, Birthright or Themes require more people to play.
***** Elias wasn't involved until Union. ABWH was produced by Jon Anderson and Chris Kimsey. Milton McDonald was on the album, explaining his presence. Without Chris Squire I'm sure at least one of the extra players is there to provide vocals as well. Levin sings great, but not in the same range as Chris. I think Steve doesn't even sing that much on the album, for whatever reason, and I don't recall hearing him too much in the live version (although he has a mic in front of him here).
when was this taped?
July 1989; there are several versions floating around; this one is decent quality, but misses most of the best parts of the rehearsals.
What yr was this
1989
@@chrisrickert8638thx bro 😎
37.38 min . first time i see jon make a mistake !!
esse cara que filmou isso tá meio bebo...
Where is Squire, and why is he not there?
*****
yes I know that. All the Yes guys except Squire.
+Snoo Lee It's a long story involving court cases, name rights and Yes east and west. It was an important interesting time.
I caught ABWH live at Wembley and very good they were too.
Can't wait for Anderson Wakeman Rabin next year.

Bands are a messy business. Really good when they are good, and then... Took me a while to realise how David Lee Roth destroyed Van Halen simply because he figured out he could earn a lot more by making a fake band with employees for players, and that is exactly what he did. So VH was forced to get that skeezer Mr. Drive 55. They could have got someone else, but point is the Roth gutted the band for his own personal profit motive, at least looks like according to the balance sheet. After he did this, the magic was gone from the two new bands, just beating the mule. Horrific stuff.
+Snoo Lee I guess you are right, but I really liked Mr H at the helm during that VH phase.
Nice that Roth is back but that old Devil time has a way of erasing the great memories of our musical heroes.
I guess the ones that die young at least leave us in their prime. We don't have to watch their magic dissappear and drain away like fluid from a decomposing corpse. All those greats from the 70's who still lust for a dollar and a nostalgic stage.
"Remember me! Remember me!...I was great once.....once.

Imagine what is like for NFL greats who have to stop at age 35. From hero to zero and half their life or more ahead of them.
Is that a very young Billy Sherwood playing guitars?
No, that's the great Milton McDonald, he's from the UK.
I found the D-50 sound awful
This band was one Squire shy of a Yes, and one Fripp and Belew shy of a Crim. Why does Wakeman always tart up the keyboard parts? It would be one thing if he actually improved on them, but he never does. He just kills the flow of the music with his noodling. In what was the original Minimoog break in CTTE (at about 1:00 into the video), you can just see the disappointment on Jon's face, like "why is he playing that shite?" The original part was iconic and perfect. Also, I understand why one would opt in 1989 to replace dusty old analog synths with digital emulations (for reliability and programability purposes), but couldn't he have come just a little closer to the sound of the Minimoog? Arrggh! His refusal to actually play his parts correctly also ruined much of the Keys to Ascension live sets for me. Shame!
I always hated wakeman when he half asses his parts. I think he just hates learning his old parts. He figures he's talented enough (which he is), so any changes he makes are artistic. And I think very few argue with Rick..
Yes albums were never really good after Drama. It all just sounds like a meandering mess.
Drama was a joke. Trevor Horn taking lead vocals after Jon Anderson. Geoffrey Downes on keyboards instead of Wakeman? Two huge downgrades....
Drama is one of my all time favorite Yes albums. Next to 90125, Talk, Tormato, Going for the One, Relayer, Tales from Topographic oceans, Close to the Edge and Fragile. There are a few other really great studio albums from Yes. The live Yes albums are all awesome.
To each his own. Sadly Yes is now little more than a tribute band with Alan White and Steve Howe the only ones left from their classic lineup....
+ricky4001cs Drama was the last yes album that felt like a yes album. 90125 and the rest after felt like abominations. How can one even compare "city of love" to even "into the lens"? I will always be a yes fan but they were a different band after 1983. I am just happy I got to see them live a few times. With Chris gone the only way yes would be yes again is reforming with Anderson. Which beyond current scheduled dates if they all were smart they would be considering. (Beyond the wakeman rabin band).
Drama is incredible- I just don't think of it as a true Yes release though...
The camera angles are terrible here. lt's like a kid not knowing what to film. lf you're going to film a band like ABWH, you should understand that people would like each member featured. You should TRY to do this to the best of your ability. Don't want to be fading in, and out, on lighting equipment. Just sayin' :)
Give the guy a break huh ?! He was on crew, not doing a pro shoot. Just a quick oppurtunity to catch the moment
@@westrig180 ~ Looking back, you're RIGHT West! l must have accidentally ate my cigarettes that day! This is BRILLIANT! Thanks for the comment! ;)
@@theresa42213no, you’re right; thankfully there are better and MUCH LONGER versions out there….
