The best version of this song. Imagine hearing this in 1972, as I did. No one had ever heard anything like this before, it was so new, innovative, and different than what anyone else was doing. They have inspired generations.
The bass on this is amazing. Remember this was 1971. Who else in rock was playing like this? Maybe Chris' idol Entwistle, but even he was nowhere near as melodic.
The bass on this is just incredible! Chris is and will always be my favorite bass player of all time. Nobody sounded or played like him. I hadn’t heard and still haven’t heard any other bassist in rock who’s playing was as melodic as Chris’.
Live released in 1973 and still going strong!!! It gives me the shivers every time I hear this. Artrock at its best. Even after more than 50 years!!!!!! GREAT!
this is absolutely and without doubt my favorite song from Yessongs. like someone else said, there's a lot of emotional crescendo's with their singing and playing and this song Perfectly embodies this. when John Anderson sings, "we're on our way, yes sir" and then Steve Howe and Chris Squire just take off with their playing. it's very emotional to listen to even after over 40 years.
One of the most mouth watering features of long solos by Steve, is the simul solo Chris is playing at the bottom end whilst anchoring the music. A heavenly duet.
Great live version! My very honest opinion..Best song on the album and the very best recording ever! Bill Burford is an animal on this song...I just love him!
Steve was one of the best guitar players if his time. And he kept improving. As good Steve's playing is on Yessongs, his (live) playing on Relayer is out of this world
Absolutely Right. I first heard in 1973. I even built a Power supply so I could listen to it on a Car 8 track tape player in my bedroom at night while lying in bed. Using Army Surplus Headphones.
This is the first Yes album I purchased when Yessongs was released. This version of Perpetual Changed is, in my opinion, one the very best versions of the song that Yes ever recorded, albeit the concert version. It is magnificent and wonderfully recorded for its time. Thanks for sharing your music video vzqk50HD!
My favorite part begins at 8:43 and at 9:19 Wakeman’s keyboard rises above and beyond. I experienced Wakeman’s skull splitting keyboard part on PC in the Spring of 1974 in Louisville, Ky. It was painfully loud.
One of my favorite songs of all times, I just bought the album Yes Album, it had to be heard with headphones, this song blew me away..we're all in flux, or perpetual change
Fragile was the one that started it. Fragile unlocked the door. Yessongs kicked it open. Perpetual Change, Siberian Khatru, And You And I, Yours Is No Disgrace -- I have yet to hear better Live performances of these songs!!
One of 3 tracks featuring Bill Bruford. This album should have been his official swan song. One of the great non-death tragedies in Rock history. He offered to stay on and do the CTTE tour before leaving. Since he was the drummer in the studio versions of every song on that album, it would have been only right for him to end his tenure by playing on the live versions. And truthfully, it was unfair to Allan to have to start HIS tenure playing drums on songs he had no part in. It's a very vexing issue for me.
@@juaniriarte1193 The CTTE tour began in '72. According to the Dan Hedges Yes biography from the early 80s (which I own and have read multiple times) Bill himself says he had offered to stay with the band through the tour before leaving, but Jon politely declined. Jon felt that it would be too hard emotionally to go on tour and perform night-after-night while knowing that Bill was going to be leaving.
Sublime... ❤ Chris ❤

Yes, is a supergroup, for your integrants, and like you say, who make this music? Only Yes !!!
Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth.
R.I.P. Chris Squire. You are SO missed!
One of the best ever. No one like him. RIP my friend.

@@nickavenoso7851 Amen. Mr Squire was The GOAT!
Best live guitar lead ever. Fight me.
I'm partial to Yours is no Disgrace from Yessongs. Even the lyrics after the solo, "death defying mutilated" fits the solo perfectly.
My favorite Yessongs tune. They were playing their hearts out. The double lead with Steve and Chris is fantastic.
Consummate musical artistry from the best-ever progressive rock band.
Live released in 1973 and still going strong!!! It gives me the shivers every time I hear this. Artrock at its best. Even after more than 50 years!!!!!! GREAT!
Aaaaah!... with Mr. Bill Bruford playing the drums... GREAT!

And Bruford’s drum solo
"All of the way."
One of the most mouth watering features of long solos by Steve, is the simul solo Chris is playing at the bottom end whilst anchoring the music. A heavenly duet.
The whole band's playing on this is absolutely outstanding, particularly Bruford and Steve Howe.
Great live version! My very honest opinion..Best song on the album and the very best recording ever! Bill Burford is an animal on this song...I just love him!
Just doesn't get much better than this, Steve Howe, is the most underrated gitarist,ever
totally agree.... Steve Howe is very underrated and an excellent guitar player
He wasn't under underrated at all and was voted guitarist of the year by a prestigious guitar magazine for several years!
Steve is not underrated - at least by those who love real music.
Hes acrtually rated very very high.
By peer musicians and critics alike.
Stop using that word simply because you read it somewhere
Steve was one of the best guitar players if his time. And he kept improving. As good Steve's playing is on Yessongs, his (live) playing on Relayer is out of this world
The best thing about "Yessongs" was hearing what Rick Wakeman did with tracks from "The Yes Album". Thanks for another Yes video!

I concur.

In fact, I would venture to say this is one of the best performances recorded by Yes of any song.
One of my favorite songs of all times, I just bought the album Yes Album, it had to be heard with headphones, this song blew me away..we're all in flux, or perpetual change
THANK YOU!!! I've Been waiting for you to do an EPIC Video to this most EPIC Live version of this GREAT SONG!!! WELL DONE!!!
the best of the best is here
GREAT. ASTONISHING. YES LIVE. BRILLIANT MUSICIANSHIP. STEVE HOWE ON FIRE.
They were all on fire. Spot on is what I would say.
@@orogenicman You're right. I can tell that you know what you're talking about.
Saw Anderson Wakeman Rabin in autumn 2017 and they opened with this. So amazing still 46 years after the album release. Timeless.
Love it. When my niece was a baby she liked Jon Anderson’s voice & yes music
yes yes! my absolute favorite version. thank you for the upload with the beautiful art work :)
Very good version of the song!!!❤
Fragile was the one that started it. Fragile unlocked the door.
Yessongs kicked it open. Perpetual Change, Siberian Khatru, And You And I, Yours Is No Disgrace -- I have yet to hear better Live performances of these songs!!
Jon Anderson THE VOICE. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!
Steve Howe's tone on this was epic - he may not agree, but I liked it when he went a bit more high gain.
Steve howe amazing in his guitar magic the best version
yes! 4:25 to 5:15
Epic montage. Ty. 7:55 when it jumps back into that awesome slow loose waltz part of the song. 😊🎶🦙🍄⛵️
YAY!! One of my favorites! Thanks so much for sharing!! (And looking forward to the Yessongs "Starship Trooper" version... ;) )
The Best Last Song of An Album. Perfect Opposite BookEnd of the Yes Album that is Front BookEnded by Yours is No...
Steve Howe on Guitar!!!
So crisp..thanks for the upload😎
Thank you for this, my favorite Yes live recording. Would to see you compliment my fav ELP recording of Aquatarkus from Welcome back...
Unbelievably gorgeous video!
Awesome, David! carry on.
Thank-you for the info +lyrics--Loving your posts as I blast Perpetual Change!
😂fantastica version
It's great to be one of the first to see this.
Great, maybe the best sounding version of PC on YS. Which edition did you take this from? High Vibrations Box?
Steve Howe rocks
And move the movement on the ground
this Yessongs sounds great … which edition/remaster is it ?
It is 7-3-24, that was beautiful. God save America

The close to the edge tour actually was until mid of 73'. So Bill had stayed one year more with the band.. Idk if Bill really said that
