- Yours is No Disgrace recorded live at the Rainbow Theatre December 1972. This Concert is part of the Close to the Edge tour and the video came out in 1974. This brilliant performance became a really great video for any true fan of the earlier forms of Yes. The piece starts differently from the album with a jazzy intro and blasts into a middle section with Howe having an orgasm of a solo......... If you haven't seen this you don't know what Yes was all about.......
I do not claim any copyright for this video, the songs or anything else, if you are the copyright owner of this video please contact me and i will delete it or post everything related to copyright immediately. I just love the music of YES and really want to help promote it by posting one of the most brilliant rock performances ever recorded live... I think I will find many people to agree with that........

If Steve Howe had been in the band on the Titanic, the ship may have never gone down.
Or, more likely, everybody would have remained seated as the band played and the ship went done... So, win, I guess?
@Beatrissa Sibirskaya yes you are correct. The sum of 5 individual musicans in this case added up to 7 at least.
Super. Dommage que des pubs coupent la magie de "Yes" si brutalement...
Un "groupe"...un bel ensemble, dans lequel chacun à son rôle primordial.
That’s funny
Please bring me back to the 70's. This was some of the greatest music ever made.
Not to mention, you could buy 60s muscle cars for nothing,
Chicks were trying to be attractive both physically and socially ,
We had drive-in movie theaters,
Groceries and living space where a hell of a lot smaller portion of your check, if you played it smart,
How much time do you have?
Poof ! You're back !😅
The music is still there to listen to.
@@unclerudy9797 please take me with you!
RIP Chris Squire. There will never be another band like YES and there will never be another Bassist like Chris Squire!
Let's be hopeful for mankind and hope that another band will come along with the talent, passion, and love of Yes. It's a shame we have to grow old.
Yes Sir
Amen to that.
True dat!
Yeah, he actually gets a little good camera time in this film. Oftentimes in concert footage you can hear him rocking out but he is invisible. I wonder if some filmmakers would do it differently now that Chris Squire is no longer here.
The greatest progressive rock band in history.
and pROCOL hARUM
Yes gave me peace
Totally agree! Yes, best band ever!
Of all times ¡
@pompeyluvva No way. Yes
Steve Howe can not be a from the same human race as the rest of us, best live guitar performance of all time.
At the time, there was definitely no one doing what he was doing. A guitar god in the truest sense, and my favorite guitarist ever. He’s still a beast, but he was so far ahead of his time then.
I agree, Steve Howe is down right other worldly scarry, gotta love him, i sure do
Agree with all the comments on Steve Howe. It was only recently I realized this song is essentially a tour-de-force of guitar techniques. I would also like to acknowledge the hard driving bass of Chris Squire. Most bass players provided low backing sound, but Squire's bass riffs were prominent parts of the music.
Huh , lucky for you there happen to be far more than one greatest of all time live performances. I'm greatful to have the knowledge and experience to understand subjective labeling. Yes, it is great, amazing compared to mediocrity, but compared to the greats I have seen , well , that is for me to know and you to discover...... I would agree but that would leave your opinion to be as great as this performance, if not better ..... I'm not willing to bet the farm on those odds....... calling anything the greatest of all time already limits your future to hearing crap, I believe your ears are better than that......
Definitely in that ballpark. Couldn't believe how it all was there, on that semi-acoustic guitar. What sound. Flawless. If there are a Top 5 British rock guitarists, Howe is among them along with Jimmy Page. Astounding how well they reproduced that track live. I got the impression Chris Squire sings the lower harmonies.
Alan White will never get the justifiable credit he deserves.
SuperSparrow45 I think it was still Bill Bruford at that time
This was from December 1972. Bruford left the band right after Close to the Edge was finished July-August. The only tracks that Bruford is on in Yessongs are Perpetual Change and Long Distance Runaround.
SuperSparrow45 I believe he joined Yes after playing with Lennon in the Plastic Ono Band. He was on the album Live Peace In Toronto.
You mean besides being a world famous milionaire beloved rock star legend drummer?
That was Bruford ....
I was 15 in 1972 and was blessed to see YES in their prime and many times thereafter...I have been a huge fan of YES and PINK FLOYD and PROG ROCK for more than 40 years. I am only 58 and still young and going strong! Love my Generation!
ohmystarz3 I saw them 1991 on union tour. Best show I ever saw. and again in 2007? So grateful
Impressive report. I heared them first time also 1972 at the innocent age of 14.
My first Yes show: Dortmund, Germany on April 16th, 1974 (Tales from Topographic Oceans Tour).
My best Yes concert (cuz I stood very very close to Chris) at the famous Hohentwiel Fortress Ruins/Germany on July 17th, 2003.
The most impressive Yes show for me: Yes Symphonic in the famous Gewandhaus Leipzig, Germany on November 10th, 2001
ohmystarz3 amem I am already in FaceTime and Facebook on internet is true Joey's side Amen
Pink Floyd are / were SHIT musicians compared to Yes. Posers by comparison. f6UCK f5UCKINFG pINK f#CKING FLOYD, gET A CLUE MAN
@@ignorecorporatenews How's being an utter dick going? All you expected it to be?
Every time I return to this song I am in awe. It is genuinely one of the best pieces of music ever written. The way Steve Howe's explosive guitar part is introduced at the beginning, how it "flies away" and leads seamlessly into a powerful wall of vocal harmony, and then runs smoothly into calm and beautiful walking bass section. And then explodes again towards the end. Also the execution and musicianship is outstanding, to compose such a piece is one thing, but to execute it instrumentally and vocally is another. Truly astonishing.
yeah and now we have balls hanging out of peoples pants at the Olympics.
Saw them at the Rainbow for the first time, wasn't immediately impressed as the lead guitarist was playing a semi acoustic. Was I in for an education. Steve Howe has to be the most underrated guitarist of all time. This man brings a tone to his music that seems to have surpassed all others. Fifty odd years on and this still gives me goose bumps.
Hey everyone! I just want to thank you all for watching, liking and commenting like true gentlemen.WOW 800k! I never expected so many views! I am a painter and art teacher from Athens Greece. Yes, and other progressive rock and metal bands, as well as lots of classical, ethnic and jazz music have been a great source of inspiration for me. Cheers to all you Yes fans!
Grandioso, Brillante, Fabuloso. Yes!!!!!
Thank YOU Theo!.
Arte es cultura.
Yes es una gran banda. La escucho desde que era una niña y me sigue gustando.

R.I.P. Chris. Godspeed brother.
One of the best and most influential bass players ever.
Howe's solo is easily my favorite solo. So insane.
Steve Howe is one of the greatest rock guitarists 🎸 of all time. His technically is off the charts second to none
Steve in the zone is not human
The most underrated music in the history of music.
not by anyone here!!! number 1 by a huge margin
Why do you think Yes are underrated? I don't think so.
I disagree, Yes were most certainly not underrated. I was in my teens when Yes appeared on the scene, unless you were a teenybopper who watched TOTP you were a Yes fan. Everyone I knew was. Genesis were looked upon as a poor mans Yes. Just sayin'
Why is everything constantly being called underrated? Yes is a multi platinum selling rock band that still gets radio play and they are in the Rock Hall of fame.
I saw someone claim that George Harrison was underrated the other day. Where does this nonsense end?
@@chrislenox1812 It's just my opinion. You can have success and still be underrated. Is Yes as revered as The Who or Queen? Is George Harrison as revered as McCartney or Lennon? Was NWA in the RnR HOF before Yes? I believe Yes is a top ten all time band, do most people think that? No. Would that lead someone that thinks like me to say they are underrated? Yes.
those fills that Howe does are ALL MUSICAL.. his intuitive understanding of what is music -- versus what is gibberish -- is almost unheard of today.
Well you are right, of course. Today's "producers" don't care about "music"--they care about pandering to the lowest common denominator. Western civilization has been hijacked by Kanye West. God help us all.
Nailed it with this comment. Kicking musical ass all the way.
There are a few bands around today that still get it. Dream Theater probably being the #1 in my book.
DaKrzFkr im still more ,, maybe because of my age,,57,, love tales of topographic oceans,, close to the edge, early to late 70s,,, but they are truly a supergroup without anyone even knowing it,,, and yes Steve Howe was a genius,, got to see them er times and everytime they were just mind blowing,,, in the round,,79, 80,, i think 4th row,,,WOW is sll i can say @!!!
Joe G m
I was 12 years old when I saw this concert live. It was life changing. I have seen a lot of the great bands over the years, several hundred shows. But this was the show that expanded my mind as to what music could be. The obvious joy these guys had in the performance and the near unbelievable talent level they all had. It was a lot to take in at that age but the experience took me down many wondrous paths where I met so many truly enlightened people. Because Yes fans really are like no others.
12 years old ???
che invidia! :-)
"life changing" If the album was life changing for me I can imagine the concert could have changed you spiritually.
I was 15
@@davidfhayes I was there too - a little older at 19.
Steve Howe, showing his prowess, never forgot to sound beautiful at the same time
IN FACT, this is Yes... NOT AT THEIR BEST! (almost always, when a band knows their concert is being FILMED professionally, they get NERVOUS and it ruins the show. Same reason Zeppelin disavows Song Remains The Same, the movie.) they're quite off in all of YESSONGS.
Steve Howe is an absolute beast.
They are all
+Led Zeppagain a class all by himself
infreakingdeed
His textured slide in Going for the one blows me away. How does one manufacture that tsunami of guitar sound.
Now that he,s getting older (and better),I chose to refer to him as "The Professor"!!! pass that on....
This is so beautiful that Its hard to watch this in the 21st century. Everything now is so awful. All I want to do is go back.................
Boy, can I relate to that! If any one song title can encapsulate my general attitude towards life this days, it would be "Living in the Past".
Makes Think When Around You Things Go Out Of SYNCHRONOUS 😽
To witness any performer give of himself so completely on stage as Steve Howe did that night is beyond moving -- and inspiring. The performing arts are more than just entertainment; they show what the fruits of commitment and hard work can bear.
Great post WAL ...
Have you seen the Close to the Edge performance from this same night? Steve Howe really delivers his all during the first half of the epic masterpiece. I'm always entranced by it and never grow tired of it either.
So true mate.
what about all the other guys! Macnificent
One of the best and most original bands of all time. Best line-up here
+Gabriele 95 Not without Bruford. The "Fragile" tour line-up with Bruford was the best. Bruford is one of the greatest and most innovative drummers of all time. Alan White is just another excellent, professional rock drummer playing Bruford's licks. He's nowhere near as original or unique. Bruford recorded the album but did not do the "Close to the Edge" tour. Stupid of him, since not doing the tour meant a contractual obligation to share all his album royalties 50/50 with Alan White also, even though White didn't play a single lick on it. He should have done the tour, then joined King Crimson afterwards. Fripp would have held the drummer's spot for him since there's no way Fripp could have found a better drummer than Bruford in the meantime back in those days.
metamorphosis67 I'm a new Yes fan, and I'm with you that the Fragile line-up was the best. What destroyed this line-up was Bill Bruford's constant arguments with Chris Squire and Jon Anderson since Chris would be late for flights and performances, and Bill struggled to understand Jon's northern accent. I agree that Bill should had soldier up for and thoroughly ended the Close to the Edge Tour while Robert Fripp should had reserved King Crimson's drums for only Bill.
I got to see Yes in '74 on the Relayer tour and came away thinking Steve Howe was one of the greatest musical geniuses in history.
'is'
Same here - saw that tour at Cleveland Stadium, part of their World Series of Rock series.
In '77 I gave a girl the choice of going to prom or going to see YES in the round,,,, she made the right choice, either way I was going to YES no matter what her answer would have been. 8)
+Jackle61 Hmmm...Not that I want to say you were wrong...BUT..... you must mean the 1979" In the round tour", (which ran from April until June, and would coincide with any "prom" dates!). In 77, Yes did the Going for the one tour, which began in late summer and ran until early Dec. 77 (and it wasn't an "in the round " stage).. Likewise, the 78 " in the round tour" started in the fall until early winter. Could it have been maybe a "homecoming" school dance? Just sayin'!
jeff kirchens You are correct,, it was In the round. I got the years screwed up thinking about other concerts and other girls. Some of those times are a little fuzzy even now. ;)
+Jackle61 There was no girl. WAS THERE!!!
kidding
David Ferrara At the time she was my dream girl. Not to be confused with a girl in my dreams. ;)
I remember that tour they did. I was at that one and one they did back in 74. I would have traveled a long way to see them in 91 if I had known all of the past members of Yes were there. By the way, did you ever get to the porn movie with her? LOL...
Man I love this and the Yessongs Album version! Steve mastered the Classical guitar by 12 years old. He is the ONLY guitarist I've ever heard that can instantly blend Jazz, Classical, bluegrass, and rockabilly and make it sound amazing! Without a doubt the best rock guitarist IMO. It kills me how scary talented this guy is. And sadly Chris is no longer with us and he's like a freight train on that bass. The only guitar/bass duo that come close is Alex/Geddy.
WELL THEN YOU HAVEN'T HEARD MANY GUITARISTS
I couldn't agree more. This band was amazing.
True artistry. This is why, musically at least, I live in the past.
I was thinking exactly the same.. 😉🎹🎶🎵
I'm livin in the past too ... listening to "The yes album" and "Close to the Edge" ... and Bill Bruford !! ♥
6.00 Chris Squires, full of joy. RIP beautiful human being.
❤️💔❤️
Rolling Stone Review was spot on... "It was the addition of Steve Howe that allowed YES to find its true identity."
Wow! Steve Howe is smoking!! Easily in the best 10 guitarists of all time
+Alan D Mcleod No Frickin doubt! I saw him in Asia just last year, jammed so awesome!
+Alan D Mcleod HE does not get the recognition he deserves. He blows Hendricks out the fucking door and all I hear is "Hendricks was the best" . Yes, at that time he was the best. He died!! He didn't get the chance to progress like Howe. Howe is the best in my opinion and people I talk to just give me a blank look-huuuh?! Howe is and had expert guitarist and has been since the 70's. So, really, how good is he?! We can't even tell by hearing him play YES music because he's been playing it so long it's nothing too him. He's the best alive at this time-I don't care what anyone says.
very high on that list i would add!
Rick Rocker NOBODY! Can improvise on any piece of music like Steve Howe. This video is a prime example of his virtuosity. He never got the recognition of Hendrix or other so called Guitar god's because he didn't strut around the stage like he was God's gift to Rock. Or make headlines about being constantly high or acting like an A-hole.
au contraire, steve howe has won numerous awards from guitar magazines. look it up.
Fer sure. Went to see Yessongs when it was still in theatres. Went because I liked Roundabout and Rick Wakeman's hair. Came away thinking that there would never be a reason to listen to any other band. These guys were the pinnacle. Steve is, what, about 24 in this video? I do disagree with 1 thing, however: as good as Steve was, Chris, Rick and Alan certainly kept up with him. And if it weren't for the musical composing genius of Jon Anderson, his ability to bend all of these great musicians to HIS vision -- there would've been no YES. This was history's example of lightning striking 5 times all at once -- and we were lucky enough to have it captured on film.
I love this version of this just because of the way they get into it.
I'm convinced Rick Wakeman traveled back in time and studied keyboards under Merlin.
:D
Have you ever heard the six wives of Henry the eigth by Rick Wakeman ?
And Merlin sees in to the future and says.. Ahah!
And then taught Merlin how.
Then he came back with capes for himself and Chris
Who needed drugs in the 70's this music blows you're mind!
Yeah, they were all straight?
I guess you didn't get the use of the "?" as my sarcasm.
the guys that discovered DNA were doing small doses of LSD to help them think "out of the box" .... genetics, music -- WHAT'S the difference?!!?
Tony Purcell. NO shit ilovewakman
DOING DRUGS TODAY DOESN';T HELP listening to todays' shit pop music
I used to think that Steve Howe's guitar playing was kinda sloppy. Now all these years later I realize it is my ears that are kinda sloppy.
Same for me, Howe we learn!
@@TheJugulator62 i thought same,is unbelieve how i didn't like his improvisations and riffs but in a moment i could understand the magnificense,sloppy ....gosh.
It's sort of true - he and Jimmy Page are both VERY accurate on acoustic guitar, but rather loose on electric.
He's so fast it looks sloppy
I showed a friend of mine the Yessongs concert video years ago and he said “man, these guys were a mess!” We’re not friends anymore. Loose, not sloppy ;)
This is the best version Yes has ever had. Nothing negative of those that have been there, these five guys just deliver better! 🥰🥰❤️
Yes is the greatest rock band of all time.
Never missed them when they came to NY. RIP Chris Squire, you were awesome.
1972 - Steve Howe was the King of The Guitar, those were GOOD TIMES!
Totally agree. In 1972 he really was at the top of his game...awesome
Right, and Chris of the bass !
Holy mother of Steve Howe. All I can say is thankk you.
Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Van der Graff Generator and so many other great bands. it reminds me my Young years.
I was in high school when this tour was out. Yes was such an influence in my life. They were way above anything that was happening in progressive rock at the time. I know the Peter Gabriel Genesis fans would beg to differ, but Jon had something special in his vocals that made everything Yes did seem like magic. There were people who used to swear Yes must be aliens that came to us to teach us great music. No matter how big a fan, that always made me laugh.
Joe Durbin It isn't a case of personal preferences. We were blessed to experience truly GREAT music.I feel sorry for kids today. Long live Prog Rock!
Such a brilliant performance. Wish bands today had just a fraction of this kind-of talent.
+DenPay They do, but you have to look
{Mandatory king gizzard recommendation}
They do it's just computers took away the soul
what a great time to be alive! late 60's/early 70's...I was there!
This is so heavy and holds all the power and potency that it did 40 years ago.
I remember when my Dad got this for me on 8-track. I played it through a Sony 80 Watt stereo receiver connected to a Panasonic 8-track player with stereo analog dB(Decibel) meters. State of the art back then. It sounded the same as this RUclips video. I lived by Chicago and I remember when I was 12 years old or so listening to WKQX 101.1 FM when they reached out to the listening audience hoping that anyone had a better recording of Yessongs. Yessongs was horribly recorded but the melodies were so beautiful written by Yes that I ended up breaking the tape inside the 8-track after 30+ times of hearing the entirety of it.
Happy Birthday to the greatest guitarist ever, Mr Steve Howe!!
Underated, under appreciated, but MY GOD!! A true force of nature is the 6-string wizardry of one Mr. Steven Howe.
On a stage of gifted musicians, each one a master of their instrument, Steve Howe makes his band mates look like children trying to keep up.
His guitar work and originality intimidate me more than Hendrix! Humble yourselves before the master!
Howe was voted top rock guitarist in the world twice during the 70's ahead of Jimmy Page in the annual Melody Maker Polls.
Same feeling here! The most original guitar player! In the best band ever🙌
There will never be another Steve Howe.
Confounded Bridge My all-time, forever favorite guitarist for 40+ years.
Hay dos: steve howe y david gilmour
Very true only if it's possible for someone of this age to have that kind of talent
The raunchy guitar fans don't seem to realize that what makes Steve Howe the No. 1 guitarist is that he purely musical - not raunchy ...
@Louise X The album solo was recorded November 14, 1972 at the University of Georgia in Athens, about a month before this, their final concert of that tour at the Rainbow Theater. The album version was edited but you can hear it in its entirety on Progeny-Seven Shows From Seventy Two. And I agree, the album solo is arguably the best live recorded guitar solo ever.
Every year I remind myself to listen to Yes, and not distracted by anything else. You really get sucked into the story they tell. All of the are brilliant musicians. The 122 people that disliked this should go back to listening to Bieber.
CountryBoyShane 103 Debbie downers including my ex gf who hated Yes. And 19 Buzz Killingtons
CountryBoyShane boss Now there are 201 clueless nincompoops
Dave Silvera now 207
Steve Howe... the hippy lookin skinny dude on the lead guitar... is on FIRE!!! I gotta talk to him before he passes!! look at him in his 93 interview on here!!! He's a little old man!! Where has the time gone? Peace and love to all.. Bless your soul for putting this up!!!
He’s a little old man who can still tear it up on that Gibson!
Thank Goodness for vintage concerts!
thanks for the memories of my teenage years! Great music back then.
This is the most wonderful thing I have ever heard. I cannot believe they were that young. They understood music and dynamics early. This should be a stepping stone for today's s pop musician. Unfortunately our dumbed down populace would never understand it. Thank you for posting this....
what GREAT MUSICIANS! CHEERS!
I can't blame people for not knowing this group as much as they should because I don't know of a generation so full of great groups and music as this one. It is truly mind-blowing as to how great Yes was and is. Sadly people pass but their music lives on through great fans. What else can you say but Thank you.
great guitar work here and awesome all
This amazing live performance blows me away that they can actually equal or surpass the perfection of the studio recording of this song. Steve Howe is a rare talent!
Yes never gets old.
Timeless
Just great, 5 guys at the top of their game: whilst Rick wasn't the original keyboard player on the album track, he just adds and adds to the tune. So sad that Chris Squire passed away, there was no other bass player who used his instrument as a lead line, and the tone and sound he had were so individual.
I am proud to say i was at this gig.
The sickest band ever. I did not realized how good Chris could sing (RIP). This band played incredibly fast at times. It was like heavy Metal before Heavy Metal. But true artists. Live to see ist paradise.
This is fantastic for so many reasons
Wow what a fantastic group of musicians. They could really rock n roll.Listening to them picks me right up and takes me away !!!!!!!!!!!
47 year anniversary of this exact show
For Chris Squire: "When we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth, but find it in the hearts of men." Rumi. You are remembered.
Now this is rock and roll, and some really heavy guitar playing. I remember watching YesSongs in a movie theater back in the day. That day didn't last long enough!
I saw them 3 times in the early and mid- '70s and every time there came a point when I wished the show would never end, I just wanted to listen forever. Funny thing, I would look around and everyone else would be like me - just sitting, mesmerized by this band. No dancing or jumping around or waving their arms. Just sitting, maybe singing along. Totally lost in the sound.
Does that even happen anymore?
yes, at REAL, not "smooth" Jazz and at Classical Music concerts. Always has
This is how Steve Howe should be remembered. He uses a really clean sound now and it has nowhere near the power and sound he had then.
One of the best freaking bands of all time, thanks for the ride guys!!!!!
i broke my gibson trying to play this
I want to thank you crazy Yes fans for 500.000+ views, I didn't know there were still so many of us out there!!!! Cheers everybody....
Phenomenal Steve Howe. Saw this in 72; I was 16 and now it's just as good
It makes me very sad to know that there are people who have never heard Yes
Great video of one of the greatest bands of all time. Thanks.
Absolutely epic. Steve Howes guitar on this is from another planet. Thanks for sharing this.
great as always , 40 + years later
Hello all! I'm a huge Yes fan, and I'm thrilled to see this video for the first time, today in Dec 2020, more than 10 years after it was first posted here!
Saw this tour, one of the best shows of all time - my hand was bleeding where my rings cut me from clapping so hard and so much.
The late great Chris Squire - Rest in Peace
10 years ahead of their time. My first concert sans parents while in 6th grade in Chi-town. Shaped my life of music to follow!! Wish my partner in crime were still alive to seem them inducted to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this coming April! Thank you Brad!! The wife and I miss you, I will never forget the times we made our way to every show we could as kids and adults, and F Big Pharma for taking your life and the Gov't for not helping those with your illness. RIP.
I am so thankful to have experienced these incredible musicians live. The harmonics and instrumentals will never be forgotten. Talent as displayed here is undeniable. I am sixty and as the bumper sticker states: "I may be old, but I got to see all the cool bands.". Elves indeed did live among us...
10:12 Steve fucking Howe!!!
R.I.P Chris Squire
I saw Yes on this tour, aged 14, I thankfully still have all their albums on vinyl. fantastic memories
I was 16 when I heard this in Toronto. You can still catch the excitement when you listen to the audience roar in this video.
Very thankful to have seen this tour. Had good floor seats mid stage 30 rows back. The sound was crazy good, they were very loud, still my fav concert to this day.
Whoa!!! How awesome for you!!! I'm happy you got to see this!!!
Unbelievable Steve Howe performance. Had the pleasure of seeing him so many times and I would’ve loved to of seen this one. Intoxicating.
I may have to cry a bit
Hi Mathew, the same with me. I listen to this live version for the first time. Steve is fantastic, I mean musically. Try to find more such individual rock guitar players... Strange fact, I am so emotional with these guys despite being born 1981. Of course, all my youth was rock and prog-rock, but still, after years, I am so touched by this music. :)
Was overseas in 72. Brought a Teac reel to reel. One of my first purchases. Wore this tape out. Yes!!!!
Always amazing...after all these years!
I saw them at the Oakland Arena 9/22/77 on their "Going for the One" Tour. I remember Chris' wearing that beautiful romantic clothing that was popular then. The whole band, not so much glam, as here, but inspiration and heart filling. It was an uplifting experience that still resonates with me.
Thank you Chris. Thank you.
Yes is and always be one of my favorite bands ever. I saw them live 5 times, each one was a magical experience. Steve Howe's guitar playing defies explanation, Chris Squire was revolutionary on the Bass. This is one of the best versions of this song I've ever seen/heard. Nice post Theo!
I love this. I LOVE l-o-n-g songs...I found YES a few years after this..around when I was 13 or 14.
First concert ever. Was at William and Mary College in Nov. 1971. Yes opened for 10 Years After. Been a big fan ever since.
I totally agree with Theo Chron. Music will always be music but, like this, almost no today!
Steve Howe is simply prodigious.
One of the greatest bands to ever see in concert. Rest in peace, Chris Squire.
This line-up has no weak links, with White on drums, Howe lead, Squire on bass, Wakeman on keyboards, and Anderson lead vocals. Just unbelievable musicianship on display.
Damnit Steve Howe why do you have such long fingers those sexy runs throughout this song get me so good... but man those stretches are insane
GraphiteBlimp no sausage fingers there,,ive tried some of those stretches and cant do it
gpop57 Right? I can only play some of the runs in this song by putting my fret hand in a weird position... It also helped when I used my Epiphone Les Paul instead of the Strat for the shorter scale length.
GraphiteBlimp only other one to do it is Buckethead I've seen him cover 5
frets with one hand.
Max Hunter I can't say how many frets but Rick Neilson s got long fingers too.. not the guitarist ho we is though
Without moving his wrist somehow he can be fluid over 7-8 frets... three quarters up the neck. Insane.
Steve Howe's solo at 8:15 is mind-blowing.
I watch this about once a month. It keeps me sane. Absolute bliss.
This really is an incredible performance. I'm just now seeing it for the first time. I love this song! It is endlessly inventive, truly classical in structure, a triumph in rock music. The fans in attendance were properly enthralled! It's so great seeing the young Yes play. They were all unusual men, and they aged very nicely together. Chris Squire obviously adored Rike Wakeman, and it is so wonderful to see Chris joyously encouraging the incomparable keyboardist.
