Sadly, your favorite "funky boots", the bassist Chris Squire passed away from cancer just a few years back. He is widely regarded as one of the best bassists in rock music.
TRU DAT!!!!!
baddest biggest bass sound in history
And the founder of YES
An unbelievable player....sadly missed...
folks discovering Yes, and usually they wonder "how did they get the bass to sound like that?".....i love it!!! just happen to be Chris' sound, uniquely his and his alone.
These old men were all wild boys when they first released this song in 1971. ;-)
Yes is one of the most talented bands of all time. Always blown away by this band.
Mad? No darlin'. That's how you SHOULD listen to Yes. With your eyes closed and your spirit open.
Legendary . Chris Squire the man the myth the legend.
One line in this song means so much “Loneliness is a power that we possess to give or take away forever”. Yes has taken me to beautiful places for 50 years now. I’ve hung out with them. Speechless around Jon Anderson. He knows it.
Chris Squire best bassist ever. Howe best guitarist. Jon what can I say. Alan on drums. = GOAT plus Wakeman
I agree Nancy! It's very touching...and seems to get overlooked, but a great line nevertheless. 👍
The singing is great here - check out the live take that closes the Yessongs album, too! Both Jon as a lead singer and the vocal trio in the middle part feel like beams of light, animating this entire suite of songs. That canon moment at "I can also show it, you and you ma-a-aaay - FOLLOOOOOW" with Steve's guitar lines backing it is such a high point, beautifully crafted!! (Jon and Chris both sang in local church choirs as boys and this is quite audible here)
Close to the Edge and Awaken are their masterpieces. One hundred years from now they will be remembered like the classical composers are today.
Agreed, those two are their best songs.
It’s been 50 already and thanks to these young people doing reaction videos they are getting a second life.
The Gates of Delirium a dangerously close third
I have listened to them since the 70s. Those are 2 great songs but so are many others. I am fond of Heart of the sunrise.
@@VolodyaVolodenka1981 parallels
Enjoy the voyage to a time of true transcendental music. It doesn't exist anymore.
Chris Squire's lead bass is a Yes trademark. "Roundabout" is a great example of how his groove anchors a song. On one of their albums he has a showcase called "The Fish". It's entirely composed of bass lines and bass-derived music.
Yes, Moody Blues, early Genesis, ELO, ELP, Kansas…oh the songs!
For nearly two decades I have throught that this specific live version of this song is the best introduction to Yes there is. It encapsulates what yes are about, it lets each member shine, and it’s not too complex for a beginner. You are the second RUclipsr in history to react to this version. Thank you. I loved it.
The message of the song is a type of village mentality of “ignorance is bliss”. The narrating character is basically telling a traveler: “Please sail on by. Though you have seen the world, don’t come here and educate about it. We don’t want to know. We are happy with our blissful little world here and we don’t want that bliss disturbed with new knowledges ”. It reminds me of the hobbits and I always imagine the narrator being a hobbit in the shire, maybe one of the ‘Tooks by the water’.
it is so fun watching a new generation find this music, to bring their own interpretation to the experience, dozens, hopefully hundreds, of years from now there will be new generations enjoying this experience. Peace and Love, Sister.
I don't know if anyone has brought this up yet but... I love Yes, even in their older years. However you really won't see just how great Yes is, unless you check out their golden age from the 70s. If you liked this at all, you owe it to yourself to listen to their original masterpieces. (and of course with Wakeman included)
And Tony Kaye.
This is the best reaction channel. I went to see Yes in 1974. The only consolation to being old is that I have so many great musical memories. Your reaction videos take me back to my teens.
Wakeman didn’t play on the original version on the Yes Album, it was Tony Kaye
@@superstar999100 I love the first two Yes albums with Tony Kaye and Peter Banks, etc. When I mentioned the"golden age" of Yes, I was referring to all their early albums, through all their classic albums, up to Awaken, and even Tormato. In my own opinion, all those albums were special. Beyond that, they had some really great material, but not as great as before, in my own opinion. Although many will disagree.
The last great Yes album was Going for the One, everything after that was rubbish. And don’t get me started on the 80’s crap that was 90210 and that Owner of a Lonely Heart debacle which always gets radio airplay with the classic stuff ignored.
they did some of the most incredible, unique music in "rock" history.....
Glad yo liked Chris Squire (the bassist). He was the one consistent member for all the various incarnations of Yes, up until his death. This song was actually pretty light work for him; he's one of the best bass players ever, and will blow you away if you listen to some of their other tracks.
The band is truly amazing. And great background music for reading fantasy novels (Yes, Genesis and Led Zeppelin were the soundtrack for Lord of the Rings when I read it about 35 years ago).
Until his death in 2015 bass player Chris Squire was the only member in every incarnation of Yes. A year later an asteroid was name after him by the International Astronomical Union (90125) Chrissquire. In 2018 an was made by various artists called "A Life in Yes: The Chris Squire Tribute". His 1975 solo album "A Fish Out of Water" is very good.
You need Yes to take you Close to the Edge…. The beginning of the song will be the sound of running water. You will love it especially don’t forget to do that special thing before hand Peace 🎸☮️❤️
RR, I'm so happy to see you've finally dipped your toe into the Yes ocean! This is a legendary band... THE progressive rock group of the early to mid 1970s that virtually invented the genre. Squire on bass, Howe on guitar, Wakeman on keyboards and Anderson on vocals are among the most gifted and respected rock musicians of all time. This is a fine live performance -- "Wurm" is particularly well done with the orchestral backing -- but like other commenters I do recommend checking out the studio version. I also urge you NOT to dive into the longer opus-type Yes compositions too soon! Their music is classically inspired and can be highly complex and their lyrics are usually somewhere between deep and impenetrable (translation: Yes can be an acquired taste) and so it's best to start with their early medium-length songs and get comfortable with the style and feel of their work.
"Roundabout" is the band's best-known hit and definitely worthy of a reaction. If you like what you hear, then other great Yes songs to check out as you begin to immerse yourself include "Heart of the Sunrise", "And You And I", "I've Seen All Good People", "South Side of the Sky", "Yours Is No Disgrace", "Siberian Khatru", "Wondrous Stories", and (when you're in the mood to listen to something so sad, moving and beautiful that it makes you cry -- just be sure to check out the song meaning beforehand) "Turn of the Century". Then if you're completely hooked move on to the more epic works like "Close to the Edge", "Awaken" (with its memorable Wakeman organ solo recorded at a cathedral in Switzerland) and "The Gates of Delirium". Your definition of what constitutes rock and roll will never be the same.
P.S. Later Yes albums, from 1978 onwards, featured different band lineups and were more commercially oriented; although they feature a few hit songs ("Owner of a Lonely Heart", "Leave It") that are worth a listen, I suggest you leave them for last if you get to them at all.
Yup. What he said ;-)
100% all of this… and listen to it all in the dark with your headphones on!
The best recording of this is the 1978 live version on YT (audio only). Wakeman kicks a55.
I'd suggest she skip "Yes West" entirely, really.
I’ve Seen All Good People is another great song by Yes with meaningful lyrics and unreal instrumentals.
Yup. Please do.
@@racebiketuner please do parallels
One of the most iconic progressive rock band from the last 60 years! Thank you! R.I.P. Chris Squire!
Yes was one of the greatest bands of all time. Yes Album, Fragile, Close To The Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans and Relayer: the ultimate progressive rock body of work.
+ Awaken from GFTO and a couple cuts of Drama.
@@martinhayward4466 And one or two from Tormato. But it all went downhill after (and including) Owner Of The Lonely Heart. Their earlier stuff was the best music of the modern era. The quintessential lineup of Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Cris Squire, Rick Wakeman and Bill Bruford was probably the best collection of progressive musicians ever.
@@martinhayward4466 + Turn of the Century, Onward, & Madrigal
Still going.
@@kurtschulten5369 Bruford was not there much.The quintessential drummer is Alan White.
Get the YES AlBUM (1971) and it will be a great gift to yourself .
And Fragile.....and Close to the Edge....and Relayer.....and....and....and..... 😀
Yup. The Yes Album and Fragile are two of my favorites.
@@Pixelologist tales from topographic oceans.
I seen them in concert when I was 15 and they did this song what a great show I can remember it like it was yesterday. So many great bands then so much better then what’s around now. I remember seeing Emerson Lake an Plamer after this show and then Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin wow I can go on and on. Wish I was younger again and back then. I’m 60 now and still love all this music. The memory’s are just incredible and this brings them back to life again.
I saw them live 40 years ago Still listen to them regularly. They were basically kids when they wrote their masterpieces. Even after 50 years of listening to them parts still give me cills and make my hair stand on end.
Yes were a great progressive rock band. So much good music. They formed in 1968 when vocaliston Jon Anderson met bass player Chris Squire. Please do more Yes. Just subscribed.
couldn't agree more, I've always loved their lyrics...
" I still remember, the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters that knew the knowledge of the land....spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways..."
I saw Yes back in 1976 (the Patrick Moraz period). Incredible show. The stage setup was a Roger Dean design. It featured a three-headed hydra with moving heads and long necks, hovering above the stage, shooting out multi-color lasers at one point as the heads and necks stretched toward the audience; and a giant, reflective, spinning ball was let down from the ceiling throwing multi-colored light beams around the auditorium at the start and end of "Close to the Edge." The stage had a prehistoric theme, with rocks that looked like they came off a stegosaurus' back and lit from within; sometimes the lights pulsed. Never seen a stage like that before or since. I don't remember if "Starship Trooper" was part of the concert, but i surely enjoyed it.
I saw that tour as well - Usher Hall in Edinburgh - utterly magical. I was a sound engineer myself and the live sound was just magnificent. Close to the Edge was unbelieveable and Topographic Oceans seemed to wrap itself around you. Then the encore was a couple of really early tunes from the first album. I swear my feet didn't touch the ground walking home from the pure musical high.
I saw YES in the ROUND , in Vancouver, were they added one song , just dedicated to Vancouver.
Strangely enough it was ROGER DEANS album cover art that Got Me hooked. Lost track of how many Yes albums i had back in the 1970s.
Gates of Delirium was my favorite along with Squires solo Album "Fish out of Water".😁😀
The masters performing a symphony of perfection. Yes owns a piece of my heart.
Yes almost always has a positive message accompanied by next level musicianship. What is there not to like! Jon Anderson has definitely visited other worlds, haha. He is also a Bob Marley fan, as I see you are. He wrote a song about him called The Messenger. I recommend the live version from the house of blues. There is nothing comparable to live Yes.
I saw ''Yes'' at Madison Square Garden in 1977. My ears are still ringing.
I saw them from the third row at the Chicago Amphitheater. The loudest show I've ever been to. My ears are also still ringing!
Crazy them doing this so well so many years later. RIP Chris Squire
YES is a thing. A very different and separate thing. They are their own universe. One of the best bands that’s EVER existed. I’ve seen them live 6 times. With bands like YES and PINK FLOYD, their melodic and sometimes mellow sounding music is not exactly what you get at the live concert. Yes, the songs are what you expect, but the delivery is what catches you off guard. When you hear this music played live by the band at concert level volume with the entire stage show, it a hellava experience! The Both are surprisingly very powerful live. Stuff you would expect from a Harder Rock band. That comes with the territory you know? Like IRON MAIDEN, you know that’s going to be over the top strong. So when a band like YES comes across live with a shitload of power, it kind of takes you aback. Even if you’ve listened to them for years before you saw them live like me. It’s hard to describe, the sheer force of the live show. To say it was impressive is an understatement. Both of those bands I mentioned are excellent live. Some of the best concerts you will ever see. If you’re lucky.
There was nothing more chill than a yes show,,,,,was so lucky to have seen them many many times and speak fluent yes,,nice to see you kids diggin' it.
They are one of those bands that make you wonder how these guys got together you know? It’s like a perfect storm. So fucking impressive. England is NOT FAIR!! Ha Ha!
Yes has been around for 50 years. Their one of the top rated Progressive Rock bands. This song is 50 years old. And it still sounds just as great as when it was released.
Perfect chill music. Like you said, they took us to space and landed us safely.
YES....................one of the GREAT progressive bands in rock history.
Yes - love them! - Please go down the Yes rabbit hole - I would love to follow your journey.
In 96 I drove thru Switzerland, hit a lake amongst mountains while playing a cassette with "Roundabout". Apparently, I have not forgotten that.
I started listening to _The Yes Album_ in 1971, when I was 13. The albums released in that year or that I first heard then changed my entire outlook on pop music. It's absolutely fantastic watching a young person listening to that music and getting such enjoyment out of it 50 years later.
Cool reaction! Thanks!
By the time this was recorded, these guys had been at it a very long time. This song was originally released in 1971.
My favourite track from 1971's 'The Yes Album'. And actually quite short by the standards of what was to come. By '73 they were putting out double albums with just three songs on them!
The one that continually astounds me is 'The Gates of Delirium' - there's a rather good video of that from around 1975 that shows them at their most technical.
Ten-four, good buddy. I have to own up that the sheer metallic shards of scree that Mr. Howe leans into continues to thrill. I've never, in all these years, followed along with the lyric, but I could say that about most Yes songs. :) The bold abrasion, the courageous sound-chasing and the ego-cleansing deep-chill are extraordinarily arty, jazzy and gorgeous, and much kudos for Patrick Moraz: a definite forward step, Yes was my first concert, 1976; magic mushrooms, outdoors, summer. (The band was touring with the same stage you see in the London video). The set list was also similar (astoundingly, the show was recorded for a radio broadcast and is available online-Roosevelt Stadium 1976). The scars etched in my brain from that evening are with me still, and that album, definitely not for novices, soothes those scars nicely!
Prog doesn't get much better than this! Such stellar musicians.
Some more great Yes songs just to name a few; Owner Of A Lonely Heart, Our Song, Love Will Find A Way
Groovy hippy trippy indeed ✌🏼
Chris squire , Anderson , Allen , Steve Howe !!!
The best .
So glad you enjoyed 👍🏻😆
So unique this band is !!!
dont forget young Tom on keyboards, doing a grand job
With a sound of their own, Yes is one of those recognizable bands that influenced many bands that followed.
Simple magnificent! Great, great band, I’ve been listening Yes since I was a teenager, I’m 59 now and there is always delightful to see them on stage.
giggles...Ja, YES ist in their own space & time much different than any Rock band.
Enjoy their rabbit hole. Not miss out on "Roundabout". Like your reactions much.
Wish you well on your personal quest. Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)
A musicians band foSho! Could you imagine having to remember what you played in the studio and do it live? Their studio albums are so TIGHT! So much YES to fallooooooooooow!
Chris Squire "The Greatest" Prog Bassist there will ever be !!! R.I.P
It was good to see that big, beaming smile, by the way - music should brighten up your life!
Glad you dug it. They are the best musicians, as good as it gets. You are right, you probably should enjoy a J before listening to them. That whole tour was with an orchestra, but they weren't featured much on that song. Try Roundabout next, and then if you are ready, some out of this world music on the song Close To the Edge (you will dig it, it has a river theme, etc). Then Awaken and Wonderous Stories, I've Seen All Good People. Much of the lryrics have songs talking about rivers, both as symbolism and literal.
Chris Squire was the BEST EVER Bass player!!! YES was way before their time! I think you can hear where KANSAS got their Influence...and RUSH!
This song will help you graduate to CTTE and GofD. 20 min masterpieces that people are still enjoying 50 years later. Best of the best musicians, vocal and writing. YES
Cool that you are diving into Prog Rock. The original version was in 1971 and this stage performance is reunion later in their lives. This music is "head music", so you did right...headphones, close your eyes, take off and land on Mars. Try Yes studio versions "Yours is No Disgrace", "I've Seen All Good People", "Round About",....and many more from the early 1970s.
To help you get where Jon Anderson's (the one with the voice) lyrics are coming from, one of the most famous quotes about him is from Rick Wakeman (Yes member / former member) : "Jon Anderson - the only guy I know who's trying to save the planet while living on another one!"
Astonishing, hm? Absorption, exultation, aspiration, so much going on. Extraordinary musicians...going to follow the link to the original video to see if they list who's playing keyboards and drums. I'm most familiar with prob'ly the second and third parts, and best recognize the latter, guitarist Steve Howe's endlessly descending chord sequence. Thank you. ✌😘🎶💞🎸💃🌟🌟🌟
Oh myyyy lllland! Try "Awaken" or "Wonderous Stories" or "Heart of the sunrise". Just go for it! lol
And Turn of the century
Yes had many member trough the year . In 1991 the made the UNION TOUR with all the members . I had the privilege to see them. Check videos , it will give the posibility of know and learn about this great musician. As for the songs , you can start with Roundabout.
Loving the reactions!
Good Girl Love to see this music touch every one. Yes Fan since 1973 Jon Anderson still touring with the band geeks playing this Music this is spot on one of the best rendition of Starship Troopers
Rest in Peace ,Chris Squire, you left us with a joyful thunder on stage. Thank you. Yessongs Forever !
Thank you for your review.
I first heard this song 50 years ago.
Changed my life. One of my top ten songs. The voice. Musicians. RR you are very peaceful and happy. Keep projecting this to people. You bring joy.
I watched them play live at Maple Leaf Gardens 10/31/1972. I can't believe that was almost 50 years
A Masterpiece !!! ...brought me back to my teenage years to the Mid 70's...lucky enough to see them live back then
Yes is always worth your time....Your energy made a great night better in this house....and none of us are misbehaving too badly...but when oh when are you going to summon the courage to lock your headphones around some Stevie Ray Vaughn...Texas Flood...Voodoo Child...Couldn't Stand the Weather...(and if you already have...sorry!)
I got to see them during the 70s in concert 6 times. Sang along with every song. Clapping with them. I went to alot of concerts, saw lots of bands, but Yes was the best.
I’ve heard this song so many times but I have listened to it anew through you. Thank you!
You are correct. Yes is nearly perfect "dark room and headphones music."
I am 60 and I am sooo glad you liked the song. Yes is my group and always will be. You made me smile.
unlike today, old school had actual musicians.
You dug it! I think I have seen you react to Rush... they certainly followed in Yes' footsteps. Good stuff! Double like!
Yup. Exactly what I was thinkin' ;-)
Hey hello hi. LoL. This is my all time favorite band ever. I’ve been in love with since I’m 13! And I did see them live too. Nothing like them! Brilliance beyond brilliance!!
Yes is one of the absolute best...so glad you found them!
Now that you've had a first hit of Yes, no doubt you'll be curious for more. :) To reiterate what others have said/will say, much of Yes's work, especially in the 1971-1975 period, is not just spectacular fun (and they were quite popular at their peak), but also, well...great. Somewhere in their Simon and Garfunkel-meets-Mahavishnu Orchestra-in-London masala they created something absolutely unique and exciting, and some of it is deservedly classed among the great songs in rock history. There are some things before that '71-'75 time and quite a few things after that period that are very good indeed, but their core...the heart of the matter...is found in that era, and perhaps best approached there first. Much cheers!
Their pop/commercial phase late 70s and 80s can safely be skipped. A lot of us were shaking our heads in disbelief at "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and the 90125 album. lol.
Great selection and I definitely loved your reaction and appreciation of this high level song. Recommend more Yes (And you and I, Awaken) and also Rush (a Canadian progressive rock band). Keep going!!
Some call this prog rock, some call it space rock...the only accurate definition is to call it Yes.
No.
This may be space rock. ruclips.net/video/uU4gvRWS8ro/видео.html
So nice to see a base solo!! These guys have it all Wow!!! Magnificent!!! 👍👍👍😊🌹
see the brian may face melting version of this song done with wakeman. it blows this away!
I saw this performance LIVE in the front row...I couldn't believe my good fortune. Probably the most enjoyable two hours of my entire life.
One of the Kings of progressive rock...Yes!
you have to remember these guys are in their sixties here in this performance
PLEASE do more from this concert, In the presence of, and you and I are to others that you will really love if you liked this one, God bless ❤
Jon Anderson was a real life Hobbit, and one of the finest vocalists ever. Female vocalists today wish they possessed his talent. Steve Howe has several chapters dedicated to his craft in the Big Book of Howe to Play Guitar. And Chris Squire on bass. He, and John Entwistle of The Who, have schooled everyone who has picked up a bass guitar since 1969 on how it's done. Anything less is just picking your nose.
You have a gift...You are able to hear things in older songs that I have heard numerous times before and bring new life to them for me. Thank you
I have always loved Yes since the 70s, but watching you react to them made it all seem new again. You are gorgeous, by the way. Thanks for this reaction.
I feel you feeling this.
If you like real raw music....YES is another Masterpiece by them!!!!
Well beautiful, watching you listen while I am listening to a tremendous rain storm. Great stuff. 😃
I saw them live in NYC and they were impressive musicians.
They are so awesome live.
One of "Classic Progs" three Greatest bands Yes, along with Genesis - Gabriel era 1971-75' and King Crimson !! : D
And listen to the studio version of this number. Mind blowing!
She is connected closely with her soul. Beautiful to see.
The first big name band i ever saw live, during their Fragile tour. ..LOL at first i called it the Roundabout tour, as that is the song that made me go direct to the mall and buy it when i heard the song on the radio, then went and got tickets with my friends to see them way up in Philly.
This is my favorite band! They have so many great songs, try “Roundabout”. Thank You! Your are about to step into the Yes rabbit hole and it is deep! LOL
Yes…was my first I would say sophisticated rock group…love them…I’m 69 years old and they still rock me !!!!
