Not a ukulele, its a Portuguese 12 string guitar. Had to edit to add: Answering your question about other live videos...there's no shortage of pro-shot Yes shows...they are phenomenal live.
1977 great year for concerts at the Fabulous Forum. Led Zeppelin, Yes, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Kiss, Grateful Dead, on my 19th birthday, The only good thing about being 63 now is all the concerts I went to then.
I've always loved the way all three harmonize. I've seen this band countless times since the early 70s and they never disappoint. When musicians are that good how could they.
Although I'm the biggest Bill Bruford fan, ya gotta give credit to Alan White on drums for having to learn the entire YES catalog in like 2 or 3 weeks before hitting the world tour after Bruford did a surprise bolt to Crimson.
He learned it on the plane on the way to the tour.. He already was John Lennon and George Harrison's drummer. He played on all things must Pass. A great drummer in his own right.
I saw yes five times in the seventies starting in '72. I was 14 and I started playing bass in 1970 after the Who's Live at Leeds. John Entwistle amazed me. I read about Chris Squire and he was inspired by Entwistle also. After that show I was really hoping to somehow get a Rickenbacker bass. I got into a band at 14. We were playing Jr high dances in 74 and 75. I bought a new Rickenbacker in 76. We quit for a year. Then right out of high-school we started the so. Cal. Club scene but not. L.A. orange county top 40 stuff. It lasted about 7 years and had taken a toll on our cohesiveness. Finally 1992 started an original band. Had some good stuff but weren't able to sell our souls. Not that anyone wanted them. You have a great year brother. You have talent
I had heard The Yes Album and Yes Songs frequently in the early '70s, played by my husband. I haven't heard any for over 40 years, so I am flabbergasted that I still remember the lyrics. I enjoy and appreciate this music more now than I did then.
I saw then twice at MSG in this time period in orchestra seats up front. Earthshaking performances. A whole different experience up close and personal.
Thanks Pope. Steve Howe plays just about anything with strings on it, including mandolin, banjo, and lute. He's a great classical/flamenco guitarist too, and would line up several guitars on stands to play while he had another hanging from his neck. The audio here is from the Yessongs album which was recorded live, and may have been recorded at this concert. Just separately from the video crew. You just need "Perpetual Change" to button up the early years. I'm looking forward to that and "Gates of Delirium" from the middle years before you dive into the rest.
PS. You have to watch (I would do a reaction to it) to Jon Anderson with the Todmobile orchestra live video of Awaken. Awaken has been in my mind everyday since I was 16. 43 years and I still can't get over it. It still gets me every time.
You were fated to meet Yes music and there is proof: Steve Howe (Yes guitarist) and Steve Hacket (Genesis guitarist) formed a supergroup in the 80's called GTR. Turn round and read the lettering on your chair? Ha! proof ☺️ You can find a beautiful piece of accoustic guitar by GTR called 'Sketches in the sand' ☺️
I'm guessing the live audio and the video are from the same source concert but the audio recording was sync'd over it because it was better quality than the original video audio track.
I still can't believe it's an audio from one concert and video from another. Even down to the clapping parts from Wakeman syncing up! I wonder why? If it's so close, anyway?
Quick bit of insider info: when bands tour, they often bring in a guitar tech as part of their entourage. Because guitars are so specialized, guitarists do often need to change guitars during songs. (A 12 string can't be played like an electric, for example.) So the tech is there to hand the appropriate guitar to the musician, and it has to be in perfect tune, and I'm guessing, but they probably change all the strings between gigs, so the sound is clear perfection. And a *good* guitarist always thanks his/her techs. :)
Steve Howe was so raw and scaarryy back then!! Everytime he attacks that fretboard, I feel like something wierd or catastrophic might happen,-- A spontaneous stampede of giraffes..or it might suddenly start raining cuddlefish and haddock..
Yes songs is is the audio and video recording of the Close to the Edge tour. This was the first time I seen Yes and they were extraordinary. I remember Steve Howe as being an absolute beast that night.
Son trust me Ritual from Yes's 35th Anniversary tour called Songs From Tsongs. Chris Squire plays timpani. But their best live show recorded is 1978 Wembley stadium. The boys are at their pinnacle of talent and tightness, just brilliant.
I saw them on that tour. Ritual was perhaps the highlight of an amazing show, although And You And I ran it very close. And I absolutely loved the extended version of Sweet Dreams, with Rick's keyboards.
8:00 The audio in this is a live performance of the song. It's just not the exact same concert as the one that was filmed. This piece was pretty set in that tour, so they were able to match up and fudge the footage a bit to make it fit the high quality live recording from the record.
Good editing, yeah, but this proves how GREAT Yes were live. The Audio from 1972 almost perfectly matches the video from 1973! New drummer Alan White had just joined the band, too (The impeccable Bill Bruford was the drummer up until the summer of 1972). No Click Tracks live, either. Over 49 years later, Alan White is STILL the Drummer of Yes.
Yes did a tour in 2001with a young European orchestra. No Wakeman, but all the others of the classic line-up. Brilliant, IMO, and very uplifting to see all the young musicians clearly so getting off on the music. The Gates of Delirium is perhaps my favourite, but everything is really good IMO. Any concert with Close to the Edge, And You and I, The Gates of Delirium, Ritual, Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good people and Roundabout (and others) has to be amazing? Excellent rendition of Magnification (a song written with orchestral not keyboard backing), and Roundabout at the end is great because all the orchestra members come up to the front of the stage and are dancing away behind the band.
They were both live performances. It's just that the audio was collected from one performance, and the video from another. It is a testament to their technical skill, that the two different recordings match up so well. The first Yes concert I went to, an inebriated fan jumped up on the stage and surrounded John Anderson with a bear hug of affection. He actually tackled him to the ground. The band stopped. The lights came up in the house,and a huge melee of security officers and startled stage technicians pulled the man off of him. After thinking this might cancel the rest of the concert, about five minutes later the house lights went back down and the band picked up the song on the very bar that they had left off. The song was probably one of the most technically demanding in their catalog. Awaken. The crowd went wild
My older brother saw them on this tour. I saw them a couple of years later. That guitar is more of a jazz guitar, not something you would normally see being played in a rock band. Pretty cool.
Now you know when you hear a YES song it is them playing everything you hear. The very best of the best. Check out the live show in Montruex, circa 2001. Still at their peak with better sound. But for 1973 this was awesome.
That was the live performance. The 1973 album yeassongs was a live album. It was recorded at a series of shows during the tour. Steve Howe master guitarist. Chris Squire master bass, and Bill bruford on drums, with the greT Rick Wakeman on keys. Jon writer and singer, occasional strins and percussion.
I think that the thing that makes this music differentto your ears is that it draws more from European classical influences rather than American roots as is common with so much rock.
No, either a mandolin or an oud. "Are there any live performances?" Yes!! This performance has Alan White on drums (He just died a couple months ago) and Rick Wakeman on keyboards.
Sometime you will have to check out Olias of Sunhillow, Jon Anderson's masterpiece solo album. It is a one and only creation by Jon Anderson. I've a Yes fan since I discovered them in high school back in the 80s. I so happy to see a young proud dude as yourself get into Yes. Enjoy the journeys . Yes is a band that will never be duplicated. In the modern world check out Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Tesseract, Big Big Train just to name a few.
The video selection was from Yessongs recorded in 73 from their tour. Listen to Yessongs from the same year which are live versions. Absolutely mind blowing and probably best live album ever recorded.
any of the live symphonic performances from 2001 are worth looking into, they play with the european youth orchestra, and the kids were having a whale of a time
Absolutely! SO uplifting to see the youngsters getting off on the music - just like watching how our man here is doing! Roundabout at the end, when they all came up to the front and were having a great time just behind the band, was one of the most uplifting sights I have seen at a rock concert.
@@adriangoodrich4306 I couldnt agree more , Chris and Alan were loving it. even Steve raised a smile or two...whod have thought Yes would be a hit with the kids today, back when I was a kid in the 70s, I was considered weird by my peers for liking yes...it was all disco and pop back then, no better than the modern dross fed to kids via the radio
I'm guessing that the live audio recorring and the video are from the same source concert but the audio recording was just better quality than the original video audio track, so they sync'd the live audio recording over the video audio track.
This song is in 2 parts. First: Your Move which mimics a chess game and is a tribute to John Lennon. They mention ar lease two John Lennon songs Instant Karma and Give Peace a Chance . Hi And of course the second part of the song is I’ve seen all good people. It has comments to talk about Alan White having to learn all of the music quickly ironically Alan White previously played drums for John Lennon.
Even though it says audio from 1973 (my previous comment had it wrong too), the Video was shot in December of '72, the Audio sometime earlier. The Yessongs album only says 'Live 1972'.
I’m NOT going to join the inevitable shouting-contest of recommendations of which live songs from Yes to check out. I’ll just say this: I know which ones to avoid (there are MANY) and which ones are superb (there are also MANY). If you want to know which is which, or if you want to know the best live version of a particular song, you are very welcome reply to me here and ask. I’ll leave it there.
8:55 The first time I saw YES live was 'In the Round' in 1979, which consisted of a multi-level rotating stage in the middle of the Chicago Amphitheater, where each level rotated in a different direction, which created an absolutely magical effect, as you got to see them from all angles. I was 17 and had only heard some of their music and was just becoming a fan. Close to the Edge is my favorite piece of music, but that night they played some music that I had never heard before that blew my mind. I would later learn that one of those pieces was called Awaken, which has become my 2nd favorite piece by them. Hope you check out their music from their 1st 2 albums, before they were prog rock. Both albums are wonderful, but the next 6 were their best, no question 🙂
Love your reaction. Please react to the opening of Yessongs. It opens with Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite into Siberian Katru. One of the best musical openings to a concert ever.
LIVE PERFORMANCE - Filmed in the 1980's following their comeback success with Owner of a Lonely Heart. New young guitar player Trevor Rabin replaced Steve Howe who was busy in the band Asia (you need to explore), and Tony Kaye (original keyboard player) makes a return to the band. ruclips.net/video/zpDF2M7n3gM/видео.html @POPENYCO
You should listen to the Yessongs album. Yours is no disgrace is like a slice of fried gold. Starship Trooper, Perpetual Change and Long Distance Runaround/The Fish are amazing.
Yes got ya good, didn’t they Pope? 😂😂 See inch a fantastic band with a catalogue of absolute classics Always a blast to see you enjoying them bro In other news…. A hoodie? Cold in the big apple this morning? 😃😃
Rick Wakeman, the key boardist went on to a solo career. Music that you might not revue but very interesting. Henry the 8th and his wives is a total organ bonanza.
This video is from their VERY early days, they were still learning their craft. Audio only, will always have better sound quality but if you watch live videos then Yes are at their best in the “Live at Montreux 2003” .
I recommend the live version of Gates of Delirium of the Yesshows album (1977). First listen to the studio version (Relayer album) and next the live version. You'll be stunned by both...
1973 yessongs the movie and yessongs a triple album live. These live versions were when they were young and full of testosterone... They absolutely destroy every song.... Howe and Squire both are off the hook ... BTW, the best live version of Awaken is Jon Anderson with Toddmobile. One of the best live version of any song ever recorded. A MUST watch.
Hey man, now you have entered the Yes live rabbit hole. This is audio and video is from the Rainbow Theater concert. The audio was released in 1973 as YesSongs live (triple album set). So the audio is definitely from the live show and is exactly the same as the version I have on the YesSongs LP set. The video is part of the YesSongs movie, in those days it was done on film and recorded at the same time as the audio, the movie was released in 74 or 75. So they recorded the audio and video at the same time but on different hardware. Later the two were put together as the concert audio recording was better than that on the film. The movie was one of the first concert movies ever done. Yes on stage were absolute wizards. Hard to believe but they perfectly did all their studio versions plus more, with enhancements and extensions. This version of "I've seen all good people" is gold. I have always considered the live songs to be better than the studio albums. But both have there place. So load up YesSongs (3 LPs in the old talk) and have a great time. Especially Starship Trouper that will blow your socks off.
Thanks for the clarifications. Not for Pope, but to the rest of us Yes fans who think they know everything (I wish I could erase my Comments now!). So this IS the same 'performance', which is why it syncs up so perfectly. Steve Howe has said that Two of the yessongs from the Dec. London show(film) are on the triple album, and I guess this is definitely one of them. Bruford 'left' right after recording CTTE, 2 weeks before the CTTE tour. Perpetual Change (with drum solo) was put on Yessongs as a tribute to Bill, as it was recorded earlier in '72 during the Fragile tour. I bought the Yessongs DVD that was put out in '97(?) That looked like it was taken from a fourth-generation copy and sounded like a bootleg recording. Anyway, thanks again Kevin.
@@JasonSmith-jr7jh Thanks Jason. The Yessongs triple LP set was purchased when I was at Uni back in 1974 so it has all those great Roger Dean artwork on the folding sections inside as well. That is something I really miss with CDs. There is some material on RUclips about the 1973 Yessongs film. Gee those years have flown past. But Yes music still sounds as unique, futuristic and from a different place now like it did when I first heard them.
@@your_local_dummy4137 When people see my LPs, they usually ask "why do you like records?" When I pull out YESSONGS for them to look at, they are absolutely amazed...THEN I pull out the BOOKLET/TOUR PROGRAM from the inner fold! Buying that album was like buying ART....and at a VERY reasonable price!
I have seen YES 4 times in concert. S, there are Live concerts of them performing "Awaken" Let me see which video quality is good and I will provide the link.
After you have experienced more of early Yes especially the album Tales From Topographic Oceans, PLEASE please listen to Yes's That That Is from their 1996 album Keys To Ascension. This was their last truly prog-ROCK attempt before the band broke up. With emphasis on ROCK! You will not be disappointed.
Not a ukulele, its a Portuguese 12 string guitar.
Had to edit to add: Answering your question about other live videos...there's no shortage of pro-shot Yes shows...they are phenomenal live.
1977 great year for concerts at the Fabulous Forum. Led Zeppelin,
Yes, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Kiss, Grateful Dead, on my 19th birthday, The only good thing about being 63 now is all the concerts I went to then.
THAT... is a rock and roll song!!!
I've always loved the way all three harmonize. I've seen this band countless times since the early 70s and they never disappoint. When musicians are that good how could they.
Although I'm the biggest Bill Bruford fan, ya gotta give credit to Alan White on drums for having to learn the entire YES catalog in like 2 or 3 weeks before hitting the world tour after Bruford did a surprise bolt to Crimson.
Yea,agree.... but I really did love the band when both Wakeman and Bruford were in it. It was their best music with the 2 of them. IMHO
He learned it on the plane on the way to the tour.. He already was John Lennon and George Harrison's drummer. He played on all things must Pass. A great drummer in his own right.
Thank you for turning your head and being satisfied and gloriously so!!!
I’m so glad these great songs were the soundtrack to my high school and college years. Enjoying your reactions 😊

I saw these guys in S.F. back in the day
Jon Anderson not only looks the way you'd expect him to look, his speaking voice sounds exactly how you'd expect it to sound.
I am a lucky sob to have seen this live stuff from Fragile to now! At 63 this makes me 20 again.
Thx! Enchanting reaction! Yes tends to enchant! -Terry
So fantastic, what can you say about this band GENIUS ❤🙏
Definitely a great crowd pleaser in concert. Get up and dance, sing, clap your hands! Turn it up!!!!
I saw then twice at MSG in this time period in orchestra seats up front. Earthshaking performances. A whole different experience up close and personal.
Their live stuff is incredible giving the difficulty and complexity, Brad
The first time I saw them live, my jaw dropped at how note for note spot on they played. Amazing talent here.
Just BRILLANT!
Saw them for my birthday in 1977 at the Forum, In The Round. I was 14, but was already a huge Yes fan. Great show.
I also caught the In the Round show at the Forum. I didn’t see you there.
@@halweiss8671 🙂
Seen Yes twice. Roosevelt Stadium and MSG. Both outstanding concerts.
Thanks Pope. Steve Howe plays just about anything with strings on it, including mandolin, banjo, and lute. He's a great classical/flamenco guitarist too, and would line up several guitars on stands to play while he had another hanging from his neck. The audio here is from the Yessongs album which was recorded live, and may have been recorded at this concert. Just separately from the video crew. You just need "Perpetual Change" to button up the early years. I'm looking forward to that and "Gates of Delirium" from the middle years before you dive into the rest.
I agree Yes music is uplifting and it's meant to be. I saw them live in 1991. One of the best live bands ever!!
Yes is a powerful progressive rock group started in early 1970’s. Their musicians are among the best.
Excellence breeds excellence, so many remarkable bands in the 70’s and Yes was right there at the top!!!🎵👌🎶👍🎼✌️😁
The harmonies are always incredible. I just love it. So melodic so beautiful
My god… a young Chris Squire harmonizing so well with Jon Anderson. And then going and doing that amazing bass thing he did soooo well.
The "flat" sounding voice was Steve Howe's.
Your comment about Awaken: ME TOO!!! It's driving me MAAAAAD!!!
PS. You have to watch (I would do a reaction to it) to Jon Anderson with the Todmobile orchestra live video of Awaken.
Awaken has been in my mind everyday since I was 16. 43 years and I still can't get over it. It still gets me every time.
You were fated to meet Yes music and there is proof:
Steve Howe (Yes guitarist) and Steve Hacket (Genesis guitarist) formed a supergroup in the 80's called GTR.

Audio was from LIVE ALBUM. Video from an earlier concert. Remarkable how they match up.
Looks like the Yessongs movie.

@@MarkJones-mm3br Yes- I don't think two different concerts could match up so closely.
@@kentclark6420 I suppose it is possible that a band as good as Yes could perform a song perfectly the same on two different occasions.

Saw them twice in that period . This video is quite similar to what I recall - absolutely transformative .
Steve Howe was so raw and scaarryy back then!! Everytime he attacks that fretboard, I feel like something wierd or catastrophic might happen,-- A spontaneous stampede of giraffes..or it might suddenly start raining cuddlefish and haddock..
The album cut was from a live album. Perfection! 💜☮️
Well, there's Yessongs, Yessymphonic and Songs from Tsongas. There's also Reunion featuring EIGHT band members playing together.
Roundabout is my favorite song of theirs.
Saw in them once, in 1979 or '80. They were AMAZING!!
Yes songs is is the audio and video recording of the Close to the Edge tour. This was the first time I seen Yes and they were extraordinary. I remember Steve Howe as being an absolute beast that night.
Check out Yes songs. It is an entire epic show. I saw them on that tour and it captures the show perfectly.
Son trust me Ritual from Yes's 35th Anniversary tour called Songs From Tsongs. Chris Squire plays timpani. But their best live show recorded is 1978 Wembley stadium. The boys are at their pinnacle of talent and tightness, just brilliant.
I saw them on that tour. Ritual was perhaps the highlight of an amazing show, although And You And I ran it very close. And I absolutely loved the extended version of Sweet Dreams, with Rick's keyboards.

More YES!!! 💖💖💖💖
I know this audio from the live album, but I've never seen this video. Very cool combo.
Wow forgot about this song, need to add it to my spotify

New drummer Alan White had just joined the band, too (The impeccable Bill Bruford was the drummer up until the summer of 1972). No Click Tracks live, either. Over 49 years later, Alan White is STILL the Drummer of Yes.
The audio was Live from the Yessongs album released in 73 but recorded live in 72. Same as the video.
Yes did a tour in 2001with a young European orchestra. No Wakeman, but all the others of the classic line-up. Brilliant, IMO, and very uplifting to see all the young musicians clearly so getting off on the music. The Gates of Delirium is perhaps my favourite, but everything is really good IMO. Any concert with Close to the Edge, And You and I, The Gates of Delirium, Ritual, Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good people and Roundabout (and others) has to be amazing? Excellent rendition of Magnification (a song written with orchestral not keyboard backing), and Roundabout at the end is great because all the orchestra members come up to the front of the stage and are dancing away behind the band.
They were both live performances. It's just that the audio was collected from one performance, and the video from another. It is a testament to their technical skill, that the two different recordings match up so well.

Great music knows no generatioal bias. Head bops know only rhythm....

That guitar is more of a jazz guitar, not something you would normally see being played in a rock band. Pretty cool.
Now you know when you hear a YES song it is them playing everything you hear. The very best of the best. Check out the live show in Montruex, circa 2001. Still at their peak with better sound. But for 1973 this was awesome.

This was an actual live performance.
LIVE PERFORMANCE - Filmed in the 1980's following their comeback success with Owner of a Lonely Heart. New young guitar player Trevor Rabin replaced Steve Howe who was busy in the band Asia (you need to explore), and Tony Kaye (original keyboard player) makes a return to the band. ruclips.net/video/zpDF2M7n3gM/видео.html @POPENYCO
You should listen to the Yessongs album.
Yours is no disgrace is like a slice of fried gold.
Starship Trooper, Perpetual Change and Long Distance Runaround/The Fish are amazing.
I'd like to suggest you watch the video of the song south side of the sky recorded live in Montreux in 2003. Yep yes we're still rocking in 2003
You get it.
Watch the whole concert best ever This is Early YES at their peak At the time Rick Wakeman on Keys the GOAT
Yes got ya good, didn’t they Pope? 😂😂
See inch a fantastic band with a catalogue of absolute classics
Always a blast to see you enjoying them bro
In other news…. A hoodie? Cold in the big apple this morning? 😃😃
The live album YESSONGS=== best !
Portuguese guitar I think. saw/heard him play it in Nashville several times!
Rick Wakeman, the key boardist went on to a solo career. Music that you might not revue but very interesting. Henry the 8th and his wives is a total organ bonanza.
This video is from their VERY early days, they were still learning their craft. Audio only, will always have better sound quality but if you watch live videos then Yes are at their best in the “Live at Montreux 2003” .
That was a live video overdubbed with a different live performance - the one Yessongs.
I have tickets to a concert in 2020, sorry 2021, no, right now it’s spring 2022
I do believe thatr Mr. White played on instant karma
I recommend the live version of Gates of Delirium of the Yesshows album (1977). First listen to the studio version (Relayer album) and next the live version. You'll be stunned by both...
1973 yessongs the movie and yessongs a triple album live. These live versions were when they were young and full of testosterone... They absolutely destroy every song.... Howe and Squire both are off the hook ... BTW, the best live version of Awaken is Jon Anderson with Toddmobile. One of the best live version of any song ever recorded. A MUST watch.
Hey man, now you have entered the Yes live rabbit hole. This is audio and video is from the Rainbow Theater concert. The audio was released in 1973 as YesSongs live (triple album set). So the audio is definitely from the live show and is exactly the same as the version I have on the YesSongs LP set. The video is part of the YesSongs movie, in those days it was done on film and recorded at the same time as the audio, the movie was released in 74 or 75. So they recorded the audio and video at the same time but on different hardware. Later the two were put together as the concert audio recording was better than that on the film. The movie was one of the first concert movies ever done. Yes on stage were absolute wizards. Hard to believe but they perfectly did all their studio versions plus more, with enhancements and extensions. This version of "I've seen all good people" is gold. I have always considered the live songs to be better than the studio albums. But both have there place. So load up YesSongs (3 LPs in the old talk) and have a great time. Especially Starship Trouper that will blow your socks off.
Thanks for the clarifications. Not for Pope, but to the rest of us Yes fans who think they know everything (I wish I could erase my Comments now!). So this IS the same 'performance', which is why it syncs up so perfectly. Steve Howe has said that Two of the yessongs from the Dec. London show(film) are on the triple album, and I guess this is definitely one of them. Bruford 'left' right after recording CTTE, 2 weeks before the CTTE tour. Perpetual Change (with drum solo) was put on Yessongs as a tribute to Bill, as it was recorded earlier in '72 during the Fragile tour. I bought the Yessongs DVD that was put out in '97(?) That looked like it was taken from a fourth-generation copy and sounded like a bootleg recording. Anyway, thanks again Kevin.
@@JasonSmith-jr7jh Thanks Jason. The Yessongs triple LP set was purchased when I was at Uni back in 1974 so it has all those great Roger Dean artwork on the folding sections inside as well. That is something I really miss with CDs. There is some material on RUclips about the 1973 Yessongs film. Gee those years have flown past. But Yes music still sounds as unique, futuristic and from a different place now like it did when I first heard them.
@@your_local_dummy4137 When people see my LPs, they usually ask "why do you like records?" When I pull out YESSONGS for them to look at, they are absolutely amazed...THEN I pull out the BOOKLET/TOUR PROGRAM from the inner fold! Buying that album was like buying ART....and at a VERY reasonable price!
I have seen YES 4 times in concert. S, there are Live concerts of them performing "Awaken" Let me see which video quality is good and I will provide the link.
The audio was a live performance...Yessongs is a live album...There is a studio version on another album.
The soundtrack was from the concert, NOT edited in.
Checkout "The Gates of Delirium" and "That, That Is".
No dude that was live performance
Not studio audio. Yes is one of the greatest live bands of all time!
After you have experienced more of early Yes especially the album Tales From Topographic Oceans, PLEASE please listen to Yes's That That Is from their 1996 album Keys To Ascension. This was their last truly prog-ROCK attempt before the band broke up. With emphasis on ROCK!
You will not be disappointed.
One of my favourite yes songs, I was told the song is about the game of chess. Is this true?
