I think Yes were way ahead of their time. I've been enjoying their music for going on 50 years. I'm 64 yeras old and still rockin'! Plus I met Roger Dean in Salt Lake City, Utah back in June of 1974. A great thrill for me.
I think Roger Dean's artwork and designs are fantastic! A (long-time-ago, unfortunately . . .) girlfriend, that knew what a fan I was of Yes and Roger Dean's artwork for their albums, got me that art-compilation book of hus, "Views". I absolutely loved it, and, to this day, still have it!
I'm almost as old as you and I think that this music and other bands around that time, were ahead of their time. I thought that at the time and still think so now. I just wonder what the young yins think o it.
@@alfiemullin7196 pushing 40 here if u consider me a youngin but Yes is one of my favorite bands. My dad got me into them and I didn't even know it. I had heard plenty of their songs over the years but never really paid attention or knew who they were until I heard him listening to Heart of the Sunrise which I had heard in a movie but had no idea who it was (pre internet...at least in my house circa 2000). I said "Who is this!?!? I've been looking for this song for a while " I then went and raided his CD collection and have been a big fan ever since.
When I was a much younger man I visited one of the local wineries. I asked the person who offered me some tastings "I don't understand what it is that people like about wine....I mean it kinda bitter." So he said "Well when you drink wine, what do you drink"? I said "I don't know, something sweet...Boone's farm!" He proceeded to pour me something he called a "good Cabernet." He asked me to taste it, and I did.Then he asked "what do you taste"? I said "I don't know...alcohol" He said "Taste it again...and really concentrate on taste in all different parts of your mouth and tell me what you taste." I said "I think I can taste some kind of berry." He said "try it again...anything else." I said "Yes...maybe some vanilla and black pepper." He said "See..when you develop a sense for it, this wine will be different every time you taste it. That's called "complexity", whereas the "Boone's Farm" will always be exactly the same...just a generic sweet wine. What makes the wine superior are its many layers." That little conversation really sat with me and I have used it as an analogy for many things YES music is like that to me. I hear this piece as a whole and it's great. But then I hear it again and focus only on Chris Squire's bass part, and it's unbelievably interesting in and of itself! Then I realize that there are so many other layers going on that I wasn't focusing on. So I listen to it again and focus on Bruford's drumming only....amazing! And then Steve Howe creating so many different textures...awesome. Then I listen to the piece as a whole, and focus on it's structure. So well thought out. This piece, like most of YES, has held my interest for four decades because it is, as the wine guy put it, "complex." .... always different and ever new. Isn't that what great art is all about?
My current 'earworm'. Arrgh! I can play it through in my mind , perfectly, from start to finish and I do - all the time. Why this track, I have no idea, although it is, of course, almost perfect.
I remember the first listen as if it were . . . fifty years ago. Damn, these guys were as good as I remember them. A friend once commented that we tend to always be drawn to the kind of music that we first listened to as kids, and I'll have to say, it’s totally true. That's why I despise what has happened to music in the past three or four decades-basically, it has been the death of music, in a painfully slow and drawn-out manner. So music like this stands out in sharp relief to the soundscapes of today, which are all made to the lowest common denominator, the cheapest, catchiest, tritest combination of bubble-gum chord structures and cheap, mindless, vapid lyrics. In a way it fits that the music of Yes and the music I-and maybe you- grew up on was the last great gasp of a civilisation about to be overtaken by the Machine. We've grown into Brave New World without even seeing it happen and it is now impossible to imagine intelligent music such as this to occur in any format, anywhere. I will try to pass on this music and this way of thinking to my son, who became 16 last year, but I am not betting that he will be able to accept it as his own.
I was introduced to Yes by my first high school boy friend at Plantagenet high school in Ontario back ino the early 70's. There is no more music like that today. The sounds, complexity, the whole thing is crazy music. Even my older sons love it and they were born in the 80's which they love.
My favorites list is a bit different... YES TIME AND A WORD THE YES ALBUM "Roundabout" (but I'm not really crazy about the rest of that album! 😄) GOING FOR THE ONE DRAMA 90125 ANDERSON BRUFORD WAKEMAN HOWE
Tony Kaye's keyboards may be the simplest of the various guys who've played in the band... but he's one of my favorites. Every time I hear his stuff, I think of the phrase... "Music FROM THE FUTURE". I also like Geoffrey Downes-- he's like Kaye on steroids. Rick Wakeman is amazing... but I much prefer his solo stuff to what he did with Yes! (I have about 60 of his albums... which is just nuts.) As for Patrick Moraz... he's the only member of the band I ever got to see play solo, and after, talked with him briefly. His conversation is like his music... he's NOT operating on any kind of normal level! (What a cool guy.) 😆
I can just see...a young Geddy Lee, a young Alex Lifeson, and a young John Rutsey/Neil Peart...running down to the record store, pulling this album off the shelf, paying for it...then running home, to put it on the turntable. And...having their minds, literally blown. Bet members of RUSH...played this record incessantly. No YES...? No RUSH. This is a marvelous track. If anyone listening to this track...afterwards...go listen to RUSH's '2112', or 'Fly By Night', album...and tell me...you do not hear YES, in their sound. That bass line...!!! Squire and Lee are brothers from another mother. That deep growl. That melodic walk. It is fantastic. I would personally like to thank Chris Squier, for influencing Geddy Lee. Both bands, YES and RUSH, are phenomenal.
I am only 13 and I love old music but this is way ahead of its time. My grandad introduced me to this when I was about 9. Ever since this has been my favourite song. The bass guitar solo in the middle is amazing and the way the guitars jumps around is phenomenal. Brilliant!
Good for your Grandpa and for you! He introduced you to some wonderful music and you were open minded enough to appreciate it. I discovered this song in 1990, when it was already almost 20 years old, and I still love it today. Great music is timeless and belongs to all generations.
First time I've ever heard this track. It won't be the last! Whatever anyone thinks of prog rock, love it or loathe nobody can deny the brilliance and complexity of the musicianship involved.
YES the album and Fragile are a couple of the most intriguing albums of all time, I love my BeatleS and Stones but Steely and these guys maybe had the most lovely shit of all time.
After having had the enormous privilege of meeting yes on the 50th anniversary tour and them playing this it's my favorite song I loved it anyway but now...
This is the essence of Yes. The first song along with roundabout are the two that I still jam on my system. If you thought Yes sounded good on the radio, try a real system!
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face. Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race, On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place, If the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace. Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are, Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are, Lost in summer, morning, winter, travel very far, Lost in losing circumstances, that's just where you are. Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face. Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race, On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place, If the summer change to winter, yours is no, Yours is no disgrace. Yours is no disgrace. Yours is no disgrace. Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth, Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear. Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face. Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human race, On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place, If the summer change to winter, yours is no, Yours is no disgrace. Yours is no disgrace. Yours is no disgrace.
Illustrates how, in Progressive Rock, the lyrics and singing were added on as an afterthought (to please the record companies) when the instruments were the 'progressive' part of the music... it also illustrates the old adage, 'If it is too dumb to say, it is sung' (though I would add, if it is too dumb for telepathy, it is said)...
Growing up this song was MY SONG that i played first on every new stereo, walkman, etc that I got. It was my way to test the bass and sound of the item. Song is amazing....such memories of the 80's for me..when I discovered it. I was only 2 when song came out...amazing!
Chris Squire’s playing the bass is just incredible. How does he do it! Steve Howe is amazing, some of the stuff he is doing is not humanly possible!?!?
Heard an interview with Howe recently, someone asked about how planned the 2nd half of All Good People was. He said the unison riffs were worked on and planned, but the solos were improvised. He said on a good day he can re-create about 955% or more, but he admits there are a few riffs he never has wuite figured out even listening to them for 50 years!
Yes was like that . Elizabeth is correct. You could always focus on one musician in this band & get a graphic demonstration of musical genius. Bruford was something special !! I followed his career for decades. Nice guy to boot. Real Englishman.
25 years you've been gone Dave. A world you could have never imagined and perhaps better for not experiencing. Old friend you are still thought of well, still loved, and on this night running into this one at this time, still grieved.
I thought too until I heard Van der Graaf Generator's "Man-Erg" on headphones. But then, I was stoned at the time. I don't think I've ever been the same since.
since i was around 9 years old this has been the best yes song i have ever heard, just like jim keller says below there is far more to it than just a song back and forth the end with the 2 claps of the finger cymbals that just throw it into the depths of the mind like a chevy camero breaking the sound barrier
in case newer listeners wanna sing along! 🖤&💙 "Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.

Phil Prewett love you my fellow phi lips we will increase scaller potential....my name is Phi lip d ave n port !!!....light up the pineal.....note my name contains the word pineal 💜💜💜...open the portal to higher knowledge
This record, Fragile and Close to the Edge never get old. A master achievement in the history of music. They have many other great albums too, but none are up with the Big Three.
I do understand ur point buddy and it really sucks, even you think a guy like him, Allan Holdsworth, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and you say: WTF Dude why he isn't on this shitty top where a guy like Kurt Cobain is? That doesn't make any sense, however a stupid rank can't destroy Steve, he's one of the best ever.
I don't know about that. There are many songs in prog that are much more complex than this one, not even prog, there are songs from yes that fit the case. Take Sound Chaser for example, I'm not saying is a better song than Yours is no disgrace, it clearly isn't but is more complex Sorry for my bad English I don't know if what I wrote is correct
This is complex, yes, but not even up there in the list of the most complex music ever. There are so many artists that put a lot more effort into making their music so much more detailed and intricate. Autechre, Mr. Bill, Aphex Twin, Devin Townsend (+ all of his aliases), Infected Mushroom, BT, Shpongle just to name a few. I’m not intending to be pretentious so pls don’t crucify me for saying this, but this is just scratching the surface of what music can be.
Terry Kath is the reason why I picked up a guitar, but Howe blew my mind. In 40 years and countless attempts I can't emulate Steve's work on this song. How does he cover 7 frets with his fingers and still have the flexibility to play so fluid? True genius.
Yes is all over the web with young kids playing them. Glad to see that this music is passed from generation to generation. It's like new to them. Easy to say, if it was good back then, why not now and in the future.
After years memorized by their music during my adolescent years, I, while stationed in Germany, saw them in 1984! Best Showmen by far and they brought their music alive with every song. Amazing!
I am listening to this on headphones and I heard it many times before. But why is it like it is a completely new experience and I am in disbelief over how good it really is?
For me Yes is like a magestic plane with beautiful and large wings : Anderson,Howe,Wakeman/Kaye. But the engine, the reactor, the propulsion is Squire, Bruford/White. This to compare.
Steve Howe is amazing. He can make it sound like there are different guitarists playing each of the parts. For this song I hear wes montgomery, robert fripp and the acoustic guitar of something that sounds like simon and garfunkel. What a genius!!!!
John Anderson Rick Wakeman whata band saw them 1973 New Havan Coliseum.....From behind WAkeman entire show GOD LIKE Wonderfull aw yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhPHRASE GOD for creatures in his own likeness playing such music pleasing to my senses...…………..
We were all at sixth form college....or we weren't......we were round at Matt's house smoking and drinking in the afternoons listening to this. It was epic 35 years ago ...still is. His parents had an amazing sound system.....the memories .......where are you all now!
Great! I was born in 62 so I grew up on progressive rock and I still listen to it today. Good music will be enjoyed by all ages of all generations. The group Kansas in my favorite.
I started listening to heavy rock when I was 10. Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, etc.Of course these were current groups then! LOL
Jesus Christ! Every single instrument played is a 10/10! I think I've just found another band besides Led Zeppelin in which every single member is the best at their respective instrument/vocals.
Fernando Sosa , I know what you mean! I joined a stream where a lot of Floyd music was being played. I hated Floyd after the Wall, it turned me off. So because of all the Floyd fans putting in their requests, I became a fan once again, after 35 yrs. of not liking them! This ignited a whole Prog Rock (if one must catagorize it) journey for me and here I am! Greetings from Illinois!
Even though Led Zeppelin was my favorite band, I've often thought that if I were to create a playlist for a live band rock concert at a college reunion, it would start with "Yours is No Disgrace" and end with "Starship Trooper."
This is just a fabulous piece of music. It will never grow old.
This is one of my favorite yes songs. It is actually a tribute to the soldiers who fought during the Vietnam war.
the lead and the bass are forever, i don't know what to say..this is one of the once in a lifetime we get.
this is what Prog Rock was all about!!
I think Yes were way ahead of their time. I've been enjoying their music for going on 50 years. I'm 64 yeras old and still rockin'! Plus I met Roger Dean in Salt Lake City, Utah back in June of 1974. A great thrill for me.

They are so technical.

Jim Keller Killer analogy!
but what does it mean
Well said
Jim Keller this is well said but I am not a big fan of Red Wine. Your point however is well made.
That is an awesome analogy.
Listening to this band for 45 YEARS now, and lately, I've been playing their albums more than ever! And currently, my favorite song of theirs...
My current 'earworm'. Arrgh! I can play it through in my mind , perfectly, from start to finish and I do - all the time. Why this track, I have no idea, although it is, of course, almost perfect.
I always have to make sure I have at least 20 minutes to listen to this song. One time through is never enough.
The LAST 90 SECONDS is the best part!! 😄
It's so easy to hear Chris Squire's influence on Geddy Lee on these classic Yes tracks.

JasonMarshMusi
Not sure what you're trying to say there, but I appreciate it anyway :)
yep causes hes smart and can smell a great bassist a mile away
I would love to see them tour with Geddy - I mean if anyone could do the job -
Steve Howe was voted the Best Overall Guitarist by guitar player magazine 5 years in a row. I think that makes him appropriately rated
so what
Absolutely !!!
halpinghand123 Your comment is under rated.
and then they took it away 38 times
He is so amazing
Never grows old. Almost fifty years ago and still awakens my spirit and fuels my imagination. Long live YES!
an ironic wish, but ok

I think Relayer is also excellent. My favorites will always be the ones with Bill Bruford.
This song , my goodness, every time I hear it....I well up for so many people alive and dead, and so many things that have happened. Love it.
Great music by such a brilliant band!!!
I never get tired of this song. Absolutely love the way Tony Kaye plays the organ.
Tony Kaye's keyboards may be the simplest of the various guys who've played in the band... but he's one of my favorites. Every time I hear his stuff, I think of the phrase... "Music FROM THE FUTURE".
I also like Geoffrey Downes-- he's like Kaye on steroids.
Rick Wakeman is amazing... but I much prefer his solo stuff to what he did with Yes! (I have about 60 of his albums... which is just nuts.)
As for Patrick Moraz... he's the only member of the band I ever got to see play solo, and after, talked with him briefly. His conversation is like his music... he's NOT operating on any kind of normal level! (What a cool guy.) 😆

I prefer Rush. I just can't get into Yes.
One of the best bass lines ever. I love Squire's powerful tone, one of the most powerful basslines ever, it is the centrepiece of the song for me
Well, together with those of Rush or why not, songs like Stone in love by Journey. But for sure, Squire too is solidly in my top 5.
your comment 15 yrs ago when Chris still with us
he truly was one of thee best bassist
The Yes Album released 19 February 1971
I was 16 when I first heard this, love it still @ 64 :O)
Same here...
Whole YES Album is fantastic
Obrigada,obrigada Yes.....me ajudou na adolescência

Excellent. Your grandfather had great taste... ...let your schooling continue. So much great music out there to discover.
Yes is a band that requires patience. Never write the song off until you've listened to the whole thing.
Ted Lumley
true
true , at first it was normal ,then after the 4rth listen it immediately became a favourite
Basically Tales and Relayer in a nutshell.
People who don't like them are probably just used to hearing four minute pop songs with no real substance.

YES the album and Fragile are a couple of the most intriguing albums of all time, I love my BeatleS and Stones but Steely and these guys maybe had the most lovely shit of all time.
YES is beyond just R&R.
ronnie toots close to the edge is better than Fragile. Both are unreal. You also can't forget about King Crimson.

God.... Saturday mornings listening to K-SHE when I was a boy. No cares just pure bliss. The nostalgia is profound.
Always been more of a fan of punk,garage,hard rock. But in my now ageing ears... Much love
Chris Squire is mesmerizing on the bass.
Great sound, clear but growly
I've always been amazed by the sound,timing and execution of this song since I first heard it in 1980 when I was 11.Been a Yes listener ever since
listen: sometimes a great executioners song. since I first heard sound I was ever Eleven
one of the best albums ever....waaaaaaaaaaayyyy ahead of Bands in their time.....even now!!!
Tune out everything and just listen to Bruford! Words do not describe........
I saw him playing with Fripp, Levin & Adrian Belew (King Crimson) in '82. Amazing indeed.
My perfect KC lineup, how lucky were you !
Either him or Chris Squire.
all I hear is vinyl noise and some percussion
Funny thing. 27 years ago I chased Bill down at NAMM and all done to tell Him that when he is in the band that's Yes I love the most !
Chris Squire’s playing the bass is just incredible. How does he do it! Steve Howe is amazing, some of the stuff he is doing is not humanly possible!?!?
They go together like peanut butter n jelly.
Heard an interview with Howe recently, someone asked about how planned the 2nd half of All Good People was. He said the unison riffs were worked on and planned, but the solos were improvised.

no way! t'is Elzebethan mythos from the fey precious
25 years you've been gone Dave. A world you could have never imagined and perhaps better for not experiencing. Old friend you are still thought of well, still loved, and on this night running into this one at this time, still grieved.
Ladies and Gentlemen, crank up your stereos...this was meant to be played LOUD!!!
Especially during the guitar solo! You have to feel the vibrations!
Blasting this song in nick cannon ncredible headphones yes thats how he spells his product.damn headphones work.
This band was way before their time. And still beyond today's music.
Before?... or ahead their time?
0:40 - it all explodes in to wonderfulness with that sparkling guitar and thunderous bass....
This is the best song ever to listen to with headphones.
I thought too until I heard Van der Graaf Generator's "Man-Erg" on headphones. But then, I was stoned at the time. I don't think I've ever been the same since.
Yes! 😂😂
17 people are a disgrace.
I think You mean 1700 if you are talking about the thumbs downs.
@@DaveWestGuitar No, not that many. Not on here anyway.
@@DaveWestGuitar No it's not that high not even now.
Not many appreciate the greatness of this album, not even to this day.

Prog rock, love it or hate it, you cannot deny how talented the musicians are.
when jazz and classical musicians started to get interested in rock
I love Progressive Rock. Always have.
Unlike today's rap crap
That Squire bass is sublime
Funkengruven! Really infectious melodic structures and harmonies. All experienced psychonauts have a few Yes albums on each journey.
since i was around 9 years old this has been the best yes song i have ever heard, just like jim keller says below there is far more to it than just a song back and forth the end with the 2 claps of the finger cymbals that just throw it into the depths of the mind like a chevy camero breaking the sound barrier
I've been listening to this music consistently since I was 12. That was 40 years ago. I never grow tired of it.
Adore.
Silly human, silly human, silly human race x)
And, it's getting sillier.
Or, should I say dumber?
This album brings back such good memories from days gone by. I will never tire of it! Thank you YES.
If you take the keyboard away, the beginning of the song sounds like what Rush was driving at in their sound.
Yes we’re about the most democratic, collective great band ever. No one was the star.
in case newer listeners wanna sing along! 🖤&💙
"Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace.
Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are,
Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are,
Lost in summer, morning, winter, travel very far,
Lost in losing circumstances, that's just where you are.
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no,
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth,
Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear.
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no,
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.

Phil Prewett love you my fellow phi lips we will increase scaller potential....my name is Phi lip d ave n port !!!....light up the pineal.....note my name contains the word pineal 💜💜💜...open the portal to higher knowledge
This record, Fragile and Close to the Edge never get old. A master achievement in the history of music. They have many other great albums too, but none are up with the Big Three.
CLASSIC YES!
Steve Howe should be considerated one of the best guitar player ever, why he isn't on Rolling Stone magazine as one on its top? What a shame.
Most if not all popularity contests are meaningless.
Besides Yes doesn't play simple riffs that the mass will "understand".
I do understand ur point buddy and it really sucks, even you think a guy like him, Allan Holdsworth, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and you say: WTF Dude why he isn't on this shitty top where a guy like Kurt Cobain is? That doesn't make any sense, however a stupid rank can't destroy Steve, he's one of the best ever.
Some of the most complex music ever
Pop music, that is :)
I don't know about that. There are many songs in prog that are much more complex than this one, not even prog, there are songs from yes that fit the case. Take Sound Chaser for example, I'm not saying is a better song than Yours is no disgrace, it clearly isn't but is more complex
Sorry for my bad English I don't know if what I wrote is correct
This is complex, yes, but not even up there in the list of the most complex music ever. There are so many artists that put a lot more effort into making their music so much more detailed and intricate. Autechre, Mr. Bill, Aphex Twin, Devin Townsend (+ all of his aliases), Infected Mushroom, BT, Shpongle just to name a few. I’m not intending to be pretentious so pls don’t crucify me for saying this, but this is just scratching the surface of what music can be.
Never been good with names....this is the BEST bass guitar player of ALL times !!!
A Baroque Masterpiece. Steve Howe's guitar flourishes sublime.
Terry Kath is the reason why I picked up a guitar, but Howe blew my mind. In 40 years and countless attempts I can't emulate Steve's work on this song. How does he cover 7 frets with his fingers and still have the flexibility to play so fluid? True genius.
Nothing but real good
This is better than sex. Really.
Yes is all over the web with young kids playing them. Glad to see that this music is passed from generation to generation. It's like new to them. Easy to say, if it was good back then, why not now and in the future.
Don't blame me for what i'm going to say, but i enjoy this far more than starship trooper.
How could just not love 0:41? 🙌
Yes, what musicians.Creativity at its best;creativity does not exist anymore with the so called "musicians" of today.
I'm not even 6 months old and I love this song.
DivineMachinations 😂
I loved the Beatles even before I was born when my mother was pregnant and listened to them.
I'm in my dad's nuts and I'm loving it.
@@Alex-gn9px Same!
Don't worry, keep faith, in only 21 years you'll be finally 1 !
After years memorized by their music during my adolescent years, I, while stationed in Germany, saw them in 1984! Best Showmen by far and they brought their music alive with every song. Amazing!
Absolultly Symfo Classic
I am listening to this on headphones and I heard it many times before. But why is it like it is a completely new experience and I am in disbelief over how good it really is?
Yours
O SELO PSICOSE RIO GB 1969 MESTRE ROBERTO CABOTAGEM MCB MM
My first album buy and I will never forget the impact it had on me and still has. Yes Fan for life.
Its like you put mozart, bethoven, vivaldi, chopin and stravinski all in one band playing faster music
this is the only song that Yes did last night D.T.E , Clarkston Mi. that was really good, , great singer , with Steve howe
So Dunky Downes was doing his thing ?
Not bad for some young dudes 22 and 23 years old. Pretty incredible actually.
for all those who fought in any war and was sent out to do what you did not want to do....yours is no disgrace
Absolutely.
Time to crank it up!
The original was perfect, why remaster it? You Tube appearss to be full of rematered LPs!
For me Yes is like a magestic plane with beautiful and large wings : Anderson,Howe,Wakeman/Kaye. But the engine, the reactor, the propulsion is Squire, Bruford/White. This to compare.
Steve Howe is amazing. He can make it sound like there are different guitarists playing each of the parts. For this song I hear wes montgomery, robert fripp and the acoustic guitar of something that sounds like simon and garfunkel. What a genius!!!!
John Anderson Rick Wakeman whata band saw them 1973 New Havan Coliseum.....From behind WAkeman entire show GOD LIKE Wonderfull aw yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhPHRASE GOD for creatures in his own likeness playing such music pleasing to my senses...…………..
UNE PERLE
Now you know you have to listen to the Yessongs version after this, Right!!
65 YEARS YOUNG, And Still the best shit you'll ever hear. What Great sounds, not so much today's GARBAGE They call music!!!
First use of Moog synthesizer by Tony Kaye
i think it was Jon anderson
Jon hadn't joined yet
MarcoGorelli and who was the one singing?
My bad, sorry, momentarily confused Rick Wakerman with Jon Anderson :)
Jon played the moog taurus as the intro/outro lead melody. I think back then, Tony had a phobia of keyboards that weren't either piano or hammond. :)
We were all at sixth form college....or we weren't......we were round at Matt's house smoking and drinking in the afternoons listening to this.
It was epic 35 years ago ...still is.
His parents had an amazing sound system.....the memories .......where are you all now!
Yes music never goes dark. Always has breadth and depth. So lucky I had this music growing up.
but it go grow up.,, Yes did get tricky. So lucky always dips bread with the traitor
age 15, in my Girlfriend's Mom's Big mercury. Great stereo. Maximum volume. Yes was a new and wonderful sound.
That bass though. Chris Squire you are so missed. God bless your soul.
Im 12 years old and I love this music
If you listen to YES, you will never grow old.
Great! I was born in 62 so I grew up on progressive rock and I still listen to it today. Good music will be enjoyed by all ages of all generations. The group Kansas in my favorite.
Francisco Pavez Rojas good on you son! ....this is quality music. thinking persons music!
Aye right. But i'll not really ever snob the idea of a 12 year old with TASTE
I started listening to heavy rock when I was 10. Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, etc.Of course these were current groups then! LOL
Jesus Christ! Every single instrument played is a 10/10! I think I've just found another band besides Led Zeppelin in which every single member is the best at their respective instrument/vocals.
Fernando Sosa , I know what you mean! I joined a stream where a lot of Floyd music was being played. I hated Floyd after the Wall, it turned me off. So because of all the Floyd fans putting in their requests, I became a fan once again, after 35 yrs. of not liking them! This ignited a whole Prog Rock (if one must catagorize it) journey for me and here I am! Greetings from Illinois!
Even though Led Zeppelin was my favorite band, I've often thought that if I were to create a playlist for a live band rock concert at a college reunion, it would start with "Yours is No Disgrace" and end with "Starship Trooper."
‘The Yes Album’ turned 50 on February 19; Congratulations!!!!!
Fifty years ago next Monday (3rd May 1971) saw the Yes/If/Egg tour at Doncaster Top Rank. Great gig!!! Seems like yesterday!
