Man...I don't know what else to say...but...Yes was such a fucking GREAT band... I was born in 1966 so...I grew up with some great...great...great rock bands to listen to... The bands back then wrote songs to last. Just like the cars were built to last back then as well...
@jimmyloran I was born in ‘56, & was recently looking through some of the tic stubs I kept - this was one of them. Saw them in ‘78 at Madison Square Garden… orchestra seats, $11. They were fantastic!
Sorry my 1982 Sturgis Harley tops anything in the 70s . I would say the same about my 1980 Camero but it and me were demolished in 86 by a drunk driver who killed himself in the process
I was born in '66 as well......my dad was a jass pianist/sculpter.....my bro's made SURE i was exposed to Yes, Beatles, Zep, Jimi.....timeless quality, care about their craft......so i'm with u brother......intelectual music (well written compositions) always seem to get me......kinda why i like classical and jazz........PEACE to you!!
I was just rolling around you tube when I came across ELP "from the Beginning" and been listening to ELP, Yes, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, etc for 2 hours ...oh man. Some of this was from my 1970-1972 time in Vietnam and some a little before and a little after. To me, this was the golden age of absolutely terrific music with outstanding musicians. And a shout out to ..US!!! WE supported these bands and gave them the room and money to be creative. Can you imagine anyone today supporting this kind of music? pffft
I was in the Navy back then. Was an Airdale. AFR made me homesick. Thank you for doing The Nam. I was 100 miles away on nice clean ship. CV59 The Forrest Fire Great time for music
You my friend are so correct! Nobody will EVER hear this kind of musical genius again! Howe!? Squire!? Anderson!? Wakeman!? Come on now!!! Heavenly music!!! ❤❤❤
That's awesome, I wish I would have got to see them but I never had the opportunity. I am seeing Yes and the band geeks this April, the only member of Yes is John Anderson and maybe Steve Howe. Either way I have always loved them and it will still be worth it.
I can't explain why I'm crying right now. Looks like I grew too used to this kind of music, continuously realizing how good it is. I was born in 97, and.. this just proves that some music is ageless and it isn't about the nostalgia you're getting (although it sure adds to it)
Tears of joy...A small percentage of people have a higher volume of fibres that connect their auditory cortex to the areas associated with emotional processing.
I am in my 30's and this was a genre that my generation rarely listens to. Man, they are missing out. These guys really had an amazing sound, unique lyrical style, and a feel so unique that few can compare. I absolutely love listening to these guys!
I am so upset about the passing of Chris Squire. He, along with Geddy Lee, John Entwistle and John Paul Jones, influenced me to become a bass player. Chris just had such an awesome bass tone with his trusty Rickenbacker. It's sad because there aren't too many musicians like Chris out there. RIP Chris.
Because of these men, great bass players grow on trees, today. Unfortunately, the "music" being promoted is being made for the masses of people that were brought up not being taught so much as to how to sing in a chorus, let alone play an instrument. There is no appreciation for skill and discipline. "Music" is product. The old Prog Rock was good for selling instruments. As a product, at the height of Capitalism, it's defective. People can listen to the same song over and over again. The music industry needs perishable products.
Chris Squire was a giant among bass players, but so was John Entwhistle. He laid down what I think is the greatest bass line in rock in The Who’s “Can You See The Real Me!”
This group, this song, brings back a lot of memories. Saw them in concert a long time ago. This was back when I smoked pot, we went to the concert without any. The wall of sound, the music and the atmosphere generated by Yes had us all "High". Incredible concert.
Fragile had stiff competition from all the other great albums of 71, here's just a few Sticky fingers - rolling stones Imagine - John Lennon Tapestry - Carole King L A Woman - Doors Aqualung - Jethro tull Meddle - Pink Floyd Madman across the water - Elton John ZZ Top first album - ZZ Top America - America Carpenters - carpenters Santana - Santana III
Fragile is a perfect rock masterpiece. Yes were boiling hot in '71 and'72. I was there. This album sounds as crisp and masterful as it did in '71. It was completely original music, for the time. I had listened to a lot of music in the '60s and had never heard anything like it. I Fell in love with this band shortly after hearing it. Profound depth and beauty with great rock and roll style. So much so that it was commercially viable. Some pieces of music seem so perfect that they seem familiar in a far off way, like they were meant to be. Fragile is like that. Extremely precious album. I wish Yes had done another edgy rock album, but this was the only one. Once they did the amazing Close to the Edge album, they never looked back. But I do. Whenever I hear Fragile...
Many amazing bands/artists have been and will be "VERY VERY VERY UNDERRATED". Yes deserved more, but got MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE than MOST of the underrated. So, yeah.
Long Distance Runaround. I bought this LP when it first came out. It is like the Moon Landing. The ship landed - A man descended - He broke ground - He ascended again - The ship flew off. The ground broken with Long Distance Runaround was never tilled and so we must contend ourselves with coveting this recording as the only example of its' kind.
A time when musicians were fabulous and created incredible songs like this and the bass lines alone should rock you and remind you there was a time when a musician really was a musician and not someone who has a computer and too much time on their hands as well as good looks but not a lick of true musicianship. This is only one fine example out of hundreds that existed at the time when this was released so seek it out and dig it all!
Эта музыка со мной почти каждый день с той весны, ка я услышал ее впервые. Особенно впечатляет вторая (инструментальная). половина... одна из любимых песен.
im one of those technical music fans,i dont play any instruments but focus on every single nuance of music,keyboards,drum,bass,etc hell matter of fact only rap i like is dr. dre"s the chronic because of the awesome keyboard production
Long distance runaround,,, My Kid's think LIL Wayne is cool? LIL FUCKING WAYNE? is cool, to 16 year olds. I've lost all faith in this World.... LITTTLE Wayne? Who is that?
Johnny Johnnyson, it still is a fucking computer, so as from a keyboard player himself, please take it seriously when I tell you to go fuck yourself, you hipster elitist douchebag! Thank you and have a nice day.
I always loved the other worldly music of YES and the other worldly images of Rodger Dean! I think your videos are the best way to enter that dream world! YES should have produce no live videos.
Whenever I hear the name Chris Squire, I immediately hear this bass line, from one of my all time favorite albums. R.I.P. Chris Squire So long, and thanks.
Lyrics Long distance runaround Long time waiting to feel the sound I still remember the dream there I still remember the time you said goodbye Did we really tell lies Letting in the sunshine Did we really count to one hundred Cold summer listening Hot color melting the anger to stone I still remember the dream there I still remember the time you said goodbye Did we really tell lies Letting in the sunshine Did we really count to one hundred Long distance runaround Long time waiting to feel the sound I still remember the dream there I still remember the time you said goodbye Cold summer listening Hot colour melting the anger to stone I still remember the dream there I still remember the time you said goodbye Did we really tell lies Letting in the sunshine Did we really count to one hundred Looking for the sunshine
Not really underrated. It's just that the music on TV then was 'pop' or glam rock or lots of silly novelty songs. But the latter did sell in their millions!
For much of this, during the singing, the band is in 4/4 time, but the drums are in 5/4 time, and Bruford hits the snare on the one of each bar of 5. So instead of the usual 1-2-THREE-4 backbeat, he shifts the snare around and gives it its tight but unpredictable funk. Smart move y man, smart move.
i heard in a recent interview on bbc with rick wakeman that that timing is all Bruford...who, when they came up with the first draft of the song, called it boooooring... wakeman said also that at their live performances they did a simpler version of it, cause they kept losing count...lol later Bruford went on to King Crimson to do great things...
During the second half of this song (The Fish), isn't the song in 7/4 time? I don't know very much about music theory (but I'll be getting into it soon), but I couldn't help but count the number of beats by the drummer.
I, for one, am GLAD that the smell of pot is gone, and once the morons realize that legalizing pot is going to screw up society more, let alone legalizing all harmful drugs, then the morons of the human race will begin to wipe each other out and the smart people will reign again.
3prettyvacant, I have 5 older brothers and an older sister, 3 step brothers, and I'm 54 years old. They experienced all this music when it first came out and turned me onto it and took me to a Grateful Dead Concert, that type of thing. I stopped to talk to you because of your comment to Leon. You're an encourager and that deserves notice/confirmation.
TrustInJesus111 Well thanks for that, I was lucky enough to have an older brother who turned me on to this great English band along with hundreds of other bands from USA and the UK. I was about 4 when this song came out. Thanks I try to encourage poz stuff :o)
I can understand the crying because you are absolutely correct. The music is timeless and ageless. I seen the Group 1975 or 1976 Harford at Dillon stadium... but that whole summer there was a whole tour of rock and roll concerts including Jethro Tull. They played with a group called The pousette-dart Band who I've never really heard of an havny since. Keep listening because this caliber of music is pure relaxation and unmatched. Thank you Yes!
Actually, it will be written in 2091. YES, was way ahead. Imagine the kids of that day, like myself. It blew everybody's mind for sure. This is why they call it progressive rock.
This song would sound new(or futuristic) if recorded today. You sir have great taste in music. 1971 is before my time, but I wish it was not. Fragile in the whole is an epic listen. Between Fragile and 2112(and Fly By Night), it is why I purchased a 250 watt Kenwood. Need to listen to these tunes at a level that shears texture off the walls.
I feel so fortunate that Yes was my go-to band, food for my soul, as a teen in the 70’s. Yes helped me to cultivate an expansive consciousness which has only deepened over time.
This song reminds me such much of my deceased best friend and the many times we used to hang out, smokin' weed and listening to this album when it first came out. Miss you Johnny boy!
***** Squire was a better musician and bassist than any of those guys, though I do like them. He earned a doctorate in music and he put his vast knowledge to work in his playing and writing.
Love this song, and so many other" Yes" songs, thanks to my brothers I've been listening to "Yes" since I was about 9 or 10. " Circus of Heaven , Sound chaser, The Ancient(giants under the sun), Roundabout and Jon Anderson's, Loved by the sun (just to name a few)" are still songs I listen to often. I find "Yes" songs Timeless. I wish today's generation listened to more bands like Yes", then maybe the Artists of today could come up with better music than most of the "crap" that's on the radio. Still a fan of 60's, 70's and 80's songs
I SAW YES IN THE ROUND YEARS AGO IN ATLANTA,GA. THEY WERE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A GREAT BAND!!!!!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS !! I HAVE SO VERY MANY FAVORITES!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS I THINK IS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE YES SONGS!!! I HAVE SOME OF THEIR SONGS!!!!!!!!!
Just heard the awful news about Chris Squire. I had to hear this great song and remember how Chris made the walls of the Chicago Ampitheater shake when he played The Fish. RIP, Chris. I'll always be grateful for the chance to see you play in person.
I first heard rock music in 1971 at the age of 8. My cousin Mark had put a radio together The glow of orange vacuum tubes and a sweet 16 speaker array sounded amazing! This song with Roundabout, stairway to Heaven as well as Witchy Woman just blew me away! I began studying radio at age ten and I am now a ham radio operator... I am restoring a 1947 Hallicrafter shortwave, AM and FM radio It has an amazing audio stage This is of course will be one of my audio test songs!
My thoughts exactly! I loved this song since college, but the base line is communicating something that I have never experienced in any other song. I've been listening to this song repeatedly, deeply gripped by that unique bass sequence.
I'm in my 60s. I have a son who's 18. Always used to complain every time I would fiddle around with my records or cassettes in my garage. He'd say no one listens to that music anymore. I got him hooked on the fragile album. Now he pulls out my LPs or cassettes and asks what can we listen to next- ( dad )
great music, great bands, makes you want to thank God Almighty that these groups were around,during the 70's , and the term "disco sucks' is still true to form.
they put Jon out of Yes when his health was bad but I just saw Him on tour again last Sunday 10-9-2016 Anderson, Rick Wakeman and Trevor Rabin on guitar. Sound great for "Round aBout" 70 years of age . The bass parts while not Chris Squire and the integral drum-beats were well handled. Not Yes but were a great show Jon Anderson was on epic form sounded like he was still 20
I saw Jon Anderson live a couple months ago and was blown away at how well his vocals have held up. He still sings all the classics in the original keys and nails each note.
I got the album when it first came out.......for Deans art, but the music soon changed my mind as to what art was, Yes was and still is the best band of that time.
back in the day..went to every Yes concert in or near Philly...today is Jon Andersons birthday..miss those days..this song on a quadraphonic system was amazing..
Shoutout to my dad for showing me this music. Recently brought him down memory lane with this song, apparently he saw them live some time on the 70s, lucky old man!
Going through some old files today and I ran across this masterpiece. It was such an honor to have caught them in concert in '74 I think it was and they impressed me with the musical bliss of hearing their songs played to perfection exactly as they were on their record. I have never seen it done better since and I went through a ton of bands in my time!.
I never had the pleasure to see a ton of bands, but of those few master bands did, YeS always remain in my memory as the best of the lot. 77, Portland, Maine, Going For The One tour.
The best of both. I close my eyes and still see. I put my head phones on and definitely hear awesome stereo. This music is still awesome. I go on a very good trip...every time I hear this.
Will cherish old Yes songs forever ❤
Man...I don't know what else to say...but...Yes was such a fucking GREAT band...
I was born in 1966 so...I grew up with some great...great...great rock bands to listen to...
The bands back then wrote songs to last. Just like the cars were built to last back then as well...
@jimmyloran
I was born in ‘56, & was recently looking through some of the tic stubs I kept - this was one of them.
Saw them in ‘78 at Madison Square Garden… orchestra seats, $11.
They were fantastic!
Estou no Brasil. Nasci em 1960. Bandas de rock progressivo fantásticas. Yes, Gênesis, jethro tull, etc.
Sorry my 1982 Sturgis Harley tops anything in the 70s . I would say the same about my 1980 Camero but it and me were demolished in 86 by a drunk driver who killed himself in the process
yea both bands and cars are lame now 😆
I was born in '66 as well......my dad was a jass pianist/sculpter.....my bro's made SURE i was exposed to Yes, Beatles, Zep, Jimi.....timeless quality, care about their craft......so i'm with u brother......intelectual music (well written compositions) always seem to get me......kinda why i like classical and jazz........PEACE to you!!
Found Close To the Edge and never looked back love it.back in early 70s as a teenager...
This recording is 45 years old and still captivates. Nothing like it. A great era for music. Real musicians creating magic.
The greatest pop music era was 1967 1974 , incredible creativity all around
forget the date its timeless
My age!!!!
Could not agree more.
And always will captivate!
I was just rolling around you tube when I came across ELP "from the Beginning" and been listening to ELP, Yes, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, etc for 2 hours ...oh man.

Great time for music
I do....thanks
Me too!! Must have been the same short. So here I am too 😊😊😊
One of the most agonizingly GREATEST bands of our lifetime!....Yes!
That bass though!! You have to listen to this with headphones or ear buds to appreciate just how brutally bad ass Chris Squire's bass was. RIP
Indeed, Chris squire such a genius with his bass playing and parts. Blessed be his soul forever, 🙏
My speakers produce his bass very well, what's wrong with yours?
@@usandthemx not as good as a high end pair of headphones. You should know this. Common knowledge.
I'm doing just that wow! To hear that bass line. Incredible album Yes, all professionally trained musicians
@@gdeezyI don't know, man. Chris' bass has a very high treble
This is an absolute masterpiece. Yes!
are you kidding me.never hear music like this ever or anymore.
You my friend are so correct! Nobody will EVER hear this kind of musical genius again! Howe!? Squire!? Anderson!? Wakeman!? Come on now!!! Heavenly music!!! ❤❤❤
And NO!!! I am not kidding you @joelkarch3538!!! 😊
i agree and apreciate your view...heavenly for sure!!thanks for rockin out with me.peace and love to yah!!@@cynthiarobertson5523
nope. we have swift now.
You just couldn't be a teenager in the 70's and not hear this gorgeous song on FM radio. It was always a happy moment. It's a happy song!
Fragile may have been their best work. Every member of this group are top shelf musicians.
No it's the yes album 😤
Depends on my mood. So hard to choose from, really ... Ah, happy me.
Agreed
@@marypalmer00Nuh uh, it's Tarkus
❤ they met at a professional music school , they're professionally trained added with their own talent is precious music
If I had a favorite group it would probably be YES.
My dad introduced me to Yes, I always thought they were great, RIP Mr. Squire, RIP Dad
+Shyra Michelle - If more kids listened to their Mom and Dad they would be surprised!, haa!
+Darrell May I could not agree more (and as Dad) my Daughter does
78 YesTor I wish mine would sometimes!
my dad too and elp and both make asia loving the video images starship or millenium falcon and the girl waiting for them
It's because they were the world's greatest Dad Rock band :). Although it was my mom who introduced me to them
Chris Squire was the most amazing bass player I have ever seen live. His voice is what I found to be incredible as well.
That's awesome, I wish I would have got to see them but I never had the opportunity. I am seeing Yes and the band geeks this April, the only member of Yes is John Anderson and maybe Steve Howe. Either way I have always loved them and it will still be worth it.
@@dlee7811how was it

I was born in 1955, know what you mean, this is pure, pure artistry.
Ditto
Steve Howe’s guitar lines are so beautiful
His is masterwork of the overtone series, with the only tempering being what was needed for the match of the moment.
I am in my 30's and this was a genre that my generation rarely listens to. Man, they are missing out. These guys really had an amazing sound, unique lyrical style, and a feel so unique that few can compare.
I absolutely love listening to these guys!
this so much.
'The Yes Album', 'Fragile', 'Close To The Edge' and 'Yessongs' are essential Yes records.
I will be 38 this summer and I grew up listening to yes. It's a great cohesive experience
Luke B rt on! turn on ur friends,n help open theirs!....smoke some weed😉
@@amerocker So are 90125, Drama, Big Generator and Union.
The entire Fragile album is a work of musical art. It is still one of my all time favorites and probably always will be.

tbh apart from those 4, Paul McCartney, and Roger Waters, bassist are usually pretty overlooked.
Cleveland rocks
That was 3 years ago?! My god...
uhhh geddy lee is far from dead
The sound of that bass still haunts me till this day. Long live Chris Squire, the one and only bass master.
Chris Squire was a giant among bass players, but so was John Entwhistle. He laid down what I think is the greatest bass line in rock in The Who’s “Can You See The Real Me!”
RIP Chris Squire. Amazing creativity and the heart of Yes. Top notch musicians, all of them.
I saw them in 1984, 90125 tour. He was incredible, big guy.
This group, this song, brings back a lot of memories. Saw them in concert a long time ago. This was back when I smoked pot, we went to the concert without any. The wall of sound, the music and the atmosphere generated by Yes had us all "High". Incredible concert.
I only got to see Yes 36 times
yes is only one the most underrated bands ever.... it is one of the greatest bands ever.
Fragile is a god tier album
Aye.
Fragile had stiff competition from all the other great albums of 71, here's just a few

So blessed that I got to see them live....it was a magical night I'll never forget.
Yes is VERY VERY VERY UNDERRATED.. This band deserves way more love than they got
the 114 dislikes have no life and suck
Many amazing bands/artists have been and will be "VERY VERY VERY UNDERRATED".
Yes deserved more, but got MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE than MOST of the underrated.
So, yeah.
Long Distance Runaround. I bought this LP when it first came out. It is like the Moon Landing. The ship landed - A man descended - He broke ground - He ascended again - The ship flew off.

Yes. We really DID count... to... one... hundred
Best truly progressive rock band. Jon Anderson’s voice is the sound of angels.

Listening to the great Chris squire right now. 🎸 Truly phenomenal bass player.
I just always was blown away not only by their music but the bass playing of Chris Squire! Love this group.
Forty plus years later and still no one has advanced the art. I call that perfection.
Squire will be truly missed by all bass lovers
Keith Todd so many bass players
yes but not on the order of Squire's skill and talent
im one of those technical music fans,i dont play any instruments but focus on every single nuance of music,keyboards,drum,bass,etc hell matter of fact only rap i like is dr. dre"s the chronic because of the awesome keyboard production
RAP IS CRAP
Your comment is crap, Manny Quacioua!
I'm 42,, I was a Newborn,, When Yes did this,,,,,,,,,,,, Why is there no music like this anymore????
there was no music like this then!!
Long distance runaround,,, My Kid's think LIL Wayne is cool? LIL FUCKING WAYNE? is cool, to 16 year olds.
I've lost all faith in this World.... LITTTLE Wayne? Who is that?
Johnny Johnnyson, and yet Yes used synthesizers and synthesizers are also computers in a sense. The concept of irony is lost on you once again.

Lyrics
Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred
Cold summer listening
Hot color melting the anger to stone
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred
Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Cold summer listening
Hot colour melting the anger to stone
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
Did we really tell lies
Letting in the sunshine
Did we really count to one hundred
Looking for the sunshine
This song is 51 years from '71 to 2022 and is still as beautiful to this day.!!!
Yes was a very great but underrated band of its time.They were great and guitar unique in their own way
One of many classic acts of 🎸.
Not really underrated. It's just that the music on TV then was 'pop' or glam rock or lots of silly novelty songs. But the latter did sell in their millions!
For much of this, during the singing, the band is in 4/4 time, but the drums are in 5/4 time, and Bruford hits the snare on the one of each bar of 5. So instead of the usual 1-2-THREE-4 backbeat, he shifts the snare around and gives it its tight but unpredictable funk. Smart move y man, smart move.
+Bill Wilkie Genius!!
i heard in a recent interview on bbc with rick wakeman that that timing is all Bruford...who, when they came up with the first draft of the song, called it boooooring...
wakeman said also that at their live performances they did a simpler version of it, cause they kept losing count...lol
later Bruford went on to King Crimson to do great things...
Bill Wilkie 1-2-1-2-3
During the second half of this song (The Fish), isn't the song in 7/4 time? I don't know very much about music theory (but I'll be getting into it soon), but I couldn't help but count the number of beats by the drummer.
Isn't this Alan white playing on fragile? Bruford left right before fragile was recorded and white had a short time to learn all the tracks
Honestly Yes is such an underrated band, yes?
BODDENERGON I definally think so, I love their albums up to drama, that's like 12 years of amazing music
well, they weren't underrated back in 1971. they played their music on the radio constantly.
BODDENERGON Right as kid I recorded from radio to my cassette player😌
Not by their fans. Only by an industry obsessed with self-absorbed, me me me, music about humping.
They were one of the super groups there are no more super groups left
You can't have "Long Distance Runaround" without finishing off with "The Fish".
Sounds the same today and when I heard it back in High School the only difference is the black lights, the posters, and the smell of pot are all gone.
I, for one, am GLAD that the smell of pot is gone, and once the morons realize that legalizing pot is going to screw up society more, let alone legalizing all harmful drugs, then the morons of the human race will begin to wipe each other out and the smart people will reign again.
I can understand the lights and the posters being gone...
Peak boomer comment
Sounds familiar.
Dont forget the jasmine and sandalwood
Honestly this song gives me such a nostalgic feeling that i just can't seem to shake.
I can relate to that feeling Falcondorf
i am only 18, and i also have that feeling, this was one of my favourite songs when i was 8 years old, i want to go back to that time :)
+Leon Haven it's excellent music... I was only six when it came out but I knew what a good tune was.
3prettyvacant, I have 5 older brothers and an older sister, 3 step brothers, and I'm 54 years old. They experienced all this music when it first came out and turned me onto it and took me to a Grateful Dead Concert, that type of thing. I stopped to talk to you because of your comment to Leon. You're an encourager and that deserves notice/confirmation.
TrustInJesus111 Well thanks for that, I was lucky enough to have an older brother who turned me on to this great English band along with hundreds of other bands from USA and the UK. I was about 4 when this song came out. Thanks I try to encourage poz stuff :o)
Chris Squire had some of the most creative, hard driving bass lines ever. Instrumentally, he was at the forefront of Yes.
Like a drill bit right between the eyes
I can understand the crying because you are absolutely correct. The music is timeless and ageless. I seen the Group 1975 or 1976 Harford at Dillon stadium... but that whole summer there was a whole tour of rock and roll concerts including Jethro Tull.
They played with a group called The pousette-dart Band who I've never really heard of an havny since.
Keep listening because this caliber of music is pure relaxation and unmatched.
Thank you Yes!
one of the best bands ever!
It's hard to dispute, they kick it live. Amazing talent!!!
What is: The Backstreet Boys
YES!
Yup. I put Yes and Rush head to head as my favourite bands 👍
Without a doubt
Yes for the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame , some say Yes shouldve been inducted years ago
Indeed
YES!
I remember when I “Borrowed “ my fathers Fragile album at 12 years OLD BEST DECISION EVER!!
Since 1994.
Everyone knows that if they were American they would already be there.
I grew up in the 70’s and my brother played guitar. He had a huge album collection. I listened to so much great music. Blessed in that regard.
When I first heard this song around 1991, I thought that it was recorded around 1988! This song was so ahead of it's time.
Actually, it will be written in 2091. YES, was way ahead. Imagine the kids of that day, like myself. It blew everybody's mind for sure. This is why they call it progressive rock.
I still remembra
This song would sound new(or futuristic) if recorded today. You sir have great taste in music. 1971 is before my time, but I wish it was not. Fragile in the whole is an epic listen. Between Fragile and 2112(and Fly By Night), it is why I purchased a 250 watt Kenwood. Need to listen to these tunes at a level that shears texture off the walls.
it has a 70s sound to it though, not 80s or 90s sound
Craig Manning Your neghbours must love you! :-) (unless, of course, you live in an isolated place, say like Father Ted's house on Craggy Island).
I can never ever stop listening to his beautiful voice it's so Angelic
Estou no Brasil. Nasci em 1960. Bandas de rock progressivo fantásticas. Yes, Gênesis, jethro tull, etc.
I feel so fortunate that Yes was my go-to band, food for my soul, as a teen in the 70’s. Yes helped me to cultivate an expansive consciousness which has only deepened over time.
First show 1977 MSG GFTO tour. @ 14 year old Staten Island boy.
omg I waa just listening to this and crying my eyes out with memories....then saw the animations....genius....Thank you~
I always loved this song. Reminds me of the good ole days of rock radio that is no more!🥰
If I was stranded on an island and had to listen to this album only... I'd be ok
I used to own that music album.
Excellent video , thumbs up !!! Great song , was then and still is today !! Well done
One of my favorite bands they have such beautiful music and voices
With no doubt one of the greatest bass players of all time. I've always loved this tune
RIP Chris Squire
First Bass player to play Harmonics.
I've lived for ever
Let's go it's not far
Long
Only one foot print
Relax
I've got you
Yes
In my ARMS
Let's go home
I cannot stop listening Jon Anderson's incredibly fairy - tale vocal....Phenomenal...Virtuosity...
dream academy he is saying "Schindleria praematurus" which is a fish
Got my first introduction to YES in the early 70s from a bootleg 8 track. Still listening today.
Thank you for including The Fish at the end. It always seemed to flow there. Top shelf, mate. Cheers.
Beyond great band! I drummed along to all their tunes at a young age. Still drumming. 68-18
I hope you are still drumming to this day!
This song reminds me such much of my deceased best friend and the many times we used to hang out, smokin' weed and listening to this album when it first came out. Miss you Johnny boy!
Some fun times to this tune about 35 years ago in HS cruising around in my LeMans blasting yes out my 6x9s....good times man...
I can relate to so many family memories that songs bring. My dad and younger brother....RIP... SNAKE AND LEE
Yes was so different from the other bands at the time. Still is.
70 years old am and still loving yes
RIP Chris Squire :(
Sad day in the music world. Another legend gone, But will never be forgotten.
***** I 100% agree Chris.
***** Definitely better...
absolutely the best......Heart of the Sunrise is hard to beat.
***** Squire was a better musician and bassist than any of those guys, though I do like them. He earned a doctorate in music and he put his vast knowledge to work in his playing and writing.
geddy lee has always said Yes is his favorite band.
Did you see him play with them at their Rock n Roll HOF induction.
Watching geddy lee jam with yes was amazing..respect between greats
The reason he used to play a Rickenbacker.
Excuse me Mr.Lee; Do you have a favorite band?
Geddy: Yes
Yes, what a rush
Love this song, and so many other" Yes" songs, thanks to my brothers I've been listening to "Yes" since I was about 9 or 10. " Circus of Heaven , Sound chaser, The
Ancient(giants under the sun), Roundabout and Jon Anderson's, Loved by the sun (just to name a few)" are still songs I listen to often. I find "Yes" songs Timeless. I wish today's generation listened to more bands like Yes", then maybe the Artists of today
could come up with better music than most of the "crap" that's on the radio. Still a fan
of 60's, 70's and 80's songs
Your brothers new what to listen too bad ass bass player is mesmerizing. Can't get enough of this album yes I said album
I SAW YES IN THE ROUND YEARS AGO IN ATLANTA,GA. THEY WERE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A GREAT BAND!!!!!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS !! I HAVE SO VERY MANY FAVORITES!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS I THINK IS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE YES SONGS!!! I HAVE SOME OF THEIR SONGS!!!!!!!!!
Just heard the awful news about Chris Squire. I had to hear this great song and remember how Chris made the walls of the Chicago Ampitheater shake when he played The Fish. RIP, Chris. I'll always be grateful for the chance to see you play in person.
I first heard rock music in 1971 at the age of 8. My cousin Mark had put a radio together The glow of orange vacuum tubes and a sweet 16 speaker array sounded amazing! This song with Roundabout, stairway to Heaven as well as Witchy Woman just blew me away! I began studying radio at age ten and I am now a ham radio operator... I am restoring a 1947 Hallicrafter shortwave, AM and FM radio It has an amazing audio stage This is of course will be one of my audio test songs!
This song is a masterpiece.
Loved this album when it came out in 1971. Love it just as much in 2019.
I also have this album. Haven't listened to it in a long time until I heard this song on the radio. It brought a flood of memories back!
Did you love it in 1987 also, or were you too into Crowded House to listen to Yes at that time?
71. Yes, sounded real good on FM
@
1975?
@@newper Are you a total troll it what?
Lmfao
The bass line of L.d.r.a. never ceases to freak me the hell out. Just awesome.
My thoughts exactly! I loved this song since college, but the base line is communicating something that I have never experienced in any other song. I've been listening to this song repeatedly, deeply gripped by that unique bass sequence.
This and Heart of the Sunrise
try listening to "sickman by Alice in Chains..forget the lyrics but notice the mega riff outta of a nothing tune
Absolutely genius! No other way to put this!👍👍👍
Nothing like the music of 60s, 70s and 80s.....
YES one fantastic band!!!!
I'm in my 60s. I have a son who's 18. Always used to complain every time I would fiddle around with my records or cassettes in my garage. He'd say no one listens to that music anymore. I got him hooked on the fragile album. Now he pulls out my LPs or cassettes and asks what can we listen to next- ( dad )
That's so good😆.
I always worry that some young people and old people don't understand each other. Well Yes seems prabably *timeless* .
I hope someday talk to my son about Yes' song. I don't know if i can talk to daughter. Though Yes is *sexless* as well.haha🤣.
great music, great bands, makes you want to thank God Almighty that these groups were around,during the 70's , and the term "disco sucks' is still true to form.
I've had this guitar lick stuck in my head since I was 4 years old.
Best base line ever recorded
"Looking For The Sunshine", then comes Mood For A Day, one day everyone will realize how great YES is.
lol and after eco of last mood for a day note we have heart of the sunrise attacking inside stomach mind soul sky breathing ass foot rocking
What a masterpiece!🥰 Takes me beyond my imagination 💖🌎
they put Jon out of Yes when his health was bad but I just saw Him on tour again last Sunday 10-9-2016 Anderson, Rick Wakeman and Trevor Rabin on guitar. Sound great for
"Round aBout" 70 years of age . The bass parts while not Chris Squire and the integral drum-beats were well handled. Not Yes but were a great show Jon Anderson was on epic form sounded like he was still 20
I saw Jon Anderson live a couple months ago and was blown away at how well his vocals have held up. He still sings all the classics in the original keys and nails each note.
I got the album when it first came out.......for Deans art, but the music soon changed my mind as to what art was, Yes was and still is the best band of that time.
back in the day..went to every Yes concert in or near Philly...today is Jon Andersons birthday..miss those days..this song on a quadraphonic system was amazing..
One of the best Yes songs, ever, Clarencec!! lol
Shoutout to my dad for showing me this music. Recently brought him down memory lane with this song, apparently he saw them live some time on the 70s, lucky old man!
Going through some old files today and I ran across this masterpiece. It was such an honor to have caught them in concert in '74 I think it was and they impressed me with the musical bliss of hearing their songs played to perfection exactly as they were on their record. I have never seen it done better since and I went through a ton of bands in my time!.
I never had the pleasure to see a ton of bands, but of those few master bands did, YeS always remain in my memory as the best of the lot. 77, Portland, Maine, Going For The One tour.
Very beautiful song by Yes and the video is a really cool and creative visualization! Very nice! Thumbs up from me! :-) Sandy
who would not like this?
Perfect score so far, psilocybin and 7 up,such a clean sound and high,junior college...oh yeah, re: likes.... perfect score.
The best of both. I close my eyes and still see. I put my head phones on and definitely hear awesome stereo. This music is still awesome. I go on a very good trip...every time I hear this.
