The studio version is great but this is even more fun to listen to.
Studio is better for me
Squire's bass is going to blow your mind on this one. First time I heard this, I couldn't believe he could make his bass sound like that.
Oh yes, the dynamic and rhythmic range he gets out of his Rickenbacker is amazing - at one point it sounds like a fighter aircraft preparing to take off. Wonderful interplay with Bill Bruford, too! 💗
Yeah I've never heard a bass used like that before. Absolutely insane lol
Yup. In 1983, the prog rock cover band I was in played this version. I learned most of the arrangement on my '74 Rickenbacker 4001S. You can learn the notes, but no one will ever be able to get his sound, his touch or his dynamics. Not to mention just coming up with (composing) the most imaginative bass lines of the era. I believe some of the reason for this is, at this time (1972/73, when I first saw him live), he used an old purple Marshall amp head (British) and another one (Sunn, I think), and a lot of Sunn cabs, maybe some Fender ones, along with his pedals & effects. The next tour, for Topographic Oceans, the tour program I bought at that show (2/15/74) listed it all, and he was still using the purple Marshall & Sunn equipment.
@@jamesmicucci7028 Yes, it's a "Marshall sound" - even I (as a complete amateur without in-depth knowledge of electric bass and guitar gear) can hear that. And his solo/duet with Bruford really sounds improvised, too, this is not heavily arranged in detail, they are feeling out the details and the rhythm in many places. It's amazing how they never lose track of the multi-layered rhythms, with such a heavy and loud sound; they're not missing anything, not a beat.
Yessongs is my favorite live album and is where I heard most of these songs for the first time. These versions are the ones I relate to more than the studio versions. They are magical!
They really do seem to have some kind of... special umph to them. The live recording is crazy good. I love Yes so damn much. They make my life so much better
The greatest Bass Solo which has ever been played Live, by perhaps the greatest Prog-Rock Bassist of all Time: Mr. Christopher Russell Edward Squire. R.I.P. Chris. ✨
Agreed and agreed. I could never sit down when he'd take center stage to perform this one. Later on, he'd give Alan a solo spot in it, too: "WhiteFish".
My ex wife and I saw them perform this at the Montreal Forum. She was afraid of heights and we were sitting at the front of the first balcony. It was in the round so it was really close to the stage, above, great seats. When Chris cut loose (about the 11:30 mark of this vid) the entire forum was shaking so bad that she got scared and thought the balcony was going to collapse. It was epic. She got up and stood at the back of the stadium in the walkway. I was getting double vision either because I was wasted or the vibrations (or both).
Imagine this in 1972 (ish). Nobody else in rock was jamming like this. This whole album is full of amazing musicianship.
One can never tire of Yes.
Never, ever.
Another great reaction. Both of these songs start side two of the Fragile album. Three days before Yes was to start this tour to support their new Close To The Edge album, , Bill Bruford left the band. Alan White had to learn all the songs in one weekend and then joined the band for the tour, and became the drummer. The end of one era, the beginning of a new one. So Yessongs is all Alan White on drums except for this track, Long Distance Runaround/The Fish, and I think Perpetual Change, which were both recorded before Bruford left.
This is what you get when you put 5 genius musicians together live. There will never be another band as great as YES! R.I.P. Chris Squire and Alan White!🤩
And Alan.🥁🎅🏻😎
Yes, and Alan!🤩@@jeffschielka7845
Amazing how quiet we were in the audience in the 70s.
YES crowds are usually quiet. Listen and then applaud after the song.🎅🏻😎
Yeah it's not like that anymore!! Loud 24/7 lol
@@L33Reacts We had respect for the band.🎅🏻😎
We actually went to hear the music...no cellphones
@@randy3907 Exactly!🔈🔉🔊🎅🏻😎
Yeah, I always loved Chris Squires childlike enthusiasm, joy and happiness on stage (and off). He engages the audience, moves around the stage screwing around with everyone. The most amazing and creative Bassist I have ever heard. You are greatly missed Mr. Squire...RIP.
Chris' use of his Rickenbacker 4003 is unique - the two pickups had separate outputs which were normally mixed together, but Chris kept them separate, and ran one through a bass amp, but the other through a guitar amp, often with effects. The overall effect was completely unique for its time!
You still haven't listened to YES' fantastic cover of Paul Simon's *America,* which is absolutely filled to the brim with Squire/Bruford ear candy. All mega fans of YES dearly love it. It was the last 'cover' tune they recorded but it never appeared on any of their studio albums. It was basically a jam tune they'd play for encores during their The Yes Album & Fragile tours (a time when their catalog of originals was still limited) The more they played it, the more amazing it became til they finally decided to record it. And puleeze don't to the original/cover comparison reactions that so many others do by playing first the S&G version & then the YES version. YES reworked the song so much the original is barely recognizable. Better to listen to YES' version first & then if you want to compare, listen to the original after. I promise you, you will be delighted...
Hey, Lee; you know from previous correspondence that your discovery of the music of my life keeps this old man smiling. Keep the flame alive, my young friend. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and a much better 2024 than our last sucky year. You rule, dude.
One of the best live recordings ever!
I bought Yessongs the week it came out, still got the vinyl along with the book that came with it. Who'd have thought all these years later we'd still be listening to it on something called RUclips!
Finally! One of my first true-love Yes songs. For me the atmospherics in the verses are sparse and echoey and won my heart alongside the bass ❤
👍🎅🏻😎
I'm recuperating from surgery and am in a PT facility and found out recently that someone had broken into my older home (I have 2) and ransacked the place, taking anything of value... guns, Civil War swords, etc. The thing that hurts the most is they took my stereo system and over 1,500 CDs...all my Beatles, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd...etc. And all of my YES CDs, including live recordings from Japan, Sweden, etc....even the "7 Shows From '72" AND my bootleg of :Tales From Topographic Oceans" from Madison Square Garden...on which Wakeman was great!...I looked for this for 20+ years and lucked into getting it by accident.
So its nice to sit in bed and listen to all of this stuff..
Can't wait to get home and get a stereo systym and some great music again...1,500 CDs will not happen, tho...too many obscure stuff to find anymore.
More "YESSONGS," please!
..and No (!!) - 99 Percent you have heard here is the Bass of Chris (even in the higher range!) - not Steve Howe. This Bassolo is phenomenal, One of a Kind in the History of ('Rock') Music. ☺ Kind Regards Heinz (from Munich/Germany). 🌳🥀🌱🌷✨
Correct!🎅🏻😎
I know, did I not say that? Lol
@@L33ReactsNo you kept saying Steve was shreading. NOT!!🎅🏻😎
@jeffschielka7845 I said it like twice settle down lol 😆 I just couldn't believe what I was hearing was a bass at points I'm guessing. Chris isn't human! 😆😆
@@L33Reacts Now you know. GOAT❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️🎅🏻😎
I found this band in England in the late 80s and they were totally forgotten in England then. It was like uncovering buried treasure. I couldn't believe how bloody good they were. I was heavily into acid and weed amd mushrooms and this music seemed to be made for that. I was also learning guitar and could play most rock and pop stuff but this stuff just baffled me. It was so alien.
These 2 tracks, along with Perpetual Change, were recorded on the the Fragile tour, the rest of the album were done during the Close To The Edge tour, which Bill never toured. In the studio, THE FISH was not done one part after another, it was all overdubbed basses.
Another reason why Saturday is the best day of the week. 😊
I try! It almost didn't happen this week because my computer was being stupid. Lol. Saturday is the best for sure 💪
@@L33ReactsWhere were you? Missing YES is UNACCEPTABLE❗️❗️❗️🎅🏻😎
@jeffschielka7845 hahaha I know my apologies. I was up All GD night trying to make the lamb video work LOL
@@L33Reacts That's why lambs were sacrificed back in the day, probably still done in certain places!🎅🏻😎
Why are you so surprised Lee, this Era of Classic Prog 1969'-79' was the "Greatest" Era in Rock music Ever with the Best Bands & Musicians !!! 🎶
Yes/ King Crimson/ Genesis/ Jethro Tull/ ELP/ Gentle Giant/ Pink Floyd/ Nektar/ Hawkwind/ Focus/ The Moody Blues/ Greenslade/ Roxy Music/ Gong and the many "Canterbury scene" bands and more !! 👍🎼✌
Very few people remember Focus. Their live album focus at the rainbow is one of the few live albums that can compete with yessongs. I love that album and used to listen to it heavily as a teenager. My mum knew all the songs on it i played it so much. Like yessongs I heard it from a friends parents record collection.
@@uv77mc85 Yes Focus is very good, I wish more would check them out 👍🎶
It quiets down and you think is that all there is? Then wham in your face, that part always jolts me,thanks Chris 😊
L33: Now, can you imagine Chris walks through the gates of heaven and God says, "Welcome! Unlike the earth, here we have speakers that can actually HANDLE what you're going to push out of them! GREAT, great reaction! Now, about songs you haven't done yet but start with the Yessongs version of, in my dreams at least, I've Seen All Good People....
Man he's probably rocking out up there.... 24/7. I'm glad you enjoyed it Greg! I have that song on my list! We'll get there 😀
Both tracks off Fragile. As much as I enjoy this more improvisational live version, the studio cuts are my preference, so precise, composed and tight. I was a teenager in the 70's, and while Yes was not universally popular due to their eclectic, abstract prog style, they had a huge and loyal following. Obviously a very different sound than Steely Dan, but both artists created the music they wanted on their own terms. The music transcends time, and remains fresh and enjoyable today. Your reactions are great.
Idk if anyone mentioned this already, but the Fragile version of The Fish has 16 different bass tracks. Sixteen. That's insane, in the best way possible. A bass orchestra... not all that different from Jimmy Page's "guitar army" approach on some Led Zeppelin tracks (Ten Years Gone & Achilles Last Stand come to mind).
Hey Lee! This live version of Long Distance/ The Fish is very good. Over the years, being played hundreds of times in concert, Chris and Alan clicked so well together. The Fish became Squire's signature solo and he expanded it several minutes, often becoming the highlight of the live shows! Watching Chris perform LDR / The Fish is a sight to behold. After witnessing this amazing musician it is easy to understand why Chris was The GOAT on the bass guitar! I have a framed gold copy of Long Distance Runaround hanging on my music wall. Great song and i dare anyone not to smile while the song is playing! Thanks Lee, see you in a few hours! " Waiting to feel the sound."🔈🔉🔊🎵🎼🎶😎
Nice, Jeff. Very nice ❤
@@mattleppard1964Thanks Matt!👍🎅🏻😎
Well said Jeff!🤩
@@TigerMtnKing Thanks Jerry! Merry Christmas!🎅🏻🤶🧑🎄🎁🎄☃️☮️😎
Back at ya Jeff!🤩@@jeffschielka7845
So glad you found Yessongs, especially one of the Bill tracks.
Please listen to the to other Bill track off this same album, Perpetual Change, Squire is as equally sublime .
I've done the studio of that song but not the live yet. I am so down!
@@L33Reacts Awesome, can't wait for your reaction to that.
Just to address a few comments. Yes never jammed or improvised live. Maybe in the studio when developing the songs they always had songs arranged to the nth degree so they could deliver the tunes every night. Yes were on fire at this time so visceral and exciting their playing was astonishing.
Bruford has the most distinctive snare sound.
Rick Wakeman described Bruford's drums sounding like cake pans.
I could tell within 4 seconds it was bill lol
It's very distinctive.
Squire was in Yes longer than any other member.
You're right, Lee. Nothing is about art anymore. It's all about profit. I'll glad that I grew up when I did. It may take another 60 or 70 years before this kind of music comes around again, if ever. I know I won't be around for it. Great reaction, buddy. Have yourself a very happy and joyous Christmas. This channel is always nice to visit. It feels like coming home. 🤟💯🎅👼🧙🌲
This album is so incredible! I'm smiling now! 🙂🎶♥️
Good I'm glad to hear that so much :)
@@L33Reacts 🤗
I'm glad you finally got around to to Yessongs, Yes at their height on their "Close to the Edge" tour !! Bruford joined King Crimson in July 19th1972' just after recording the CTTE album with Yes all of June. Bill has 2 songs on this triple album including this one from the Fragile tour in 1971' the rest are with Alan White on the on the 72'-73' CTTE tour, White learned the songs in a week !! I saw Yes Aug.14th in Hartford, CT my 1st concert with my older Brother & friends, it was Alan White's 17th show with Yes and the were Amazing and I was hooked for life to begin a long line of Classic Prog & Rock shows throughout the 1970s-80s !! And yeah I am a "Yes-ahulic' !!!! Lol 👍🎶🎼✌
Dude! I found myself down in my basement workshop, putting together a wooden airplane model for my granddaughter for Christmas. I brought my iPad down to hook into my bench top stereo and proceeded to dial you up for some Yes!
So as I’m watching and I see the album cover in your window,I see that I only have to look up a few inches to see MY copy of Yessongs on CD that I display as one of my prized possessions! SO COOL!!!
So glad you found the Brotherhood of Yes!
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 to you and yours!
In my head I could hear STARSHIP TROOPER beginning, as it always followed THE FISH the dozens and dozens of times I played that side of the album.
No shit starship trooper is next??? The only other yessongs song I've done? That's crazy lol
@L33Reacts If you want a real treat, then look forward to the live version of CLOSE TO THE EDGE, but important to listen to the studio version first if you have not yet had the pleasure.. CLOSE is arguably their greatest work.
@user-dq5xx9hi4q bro my most popular video ever is close to the edge.... get ready for a good video 😆ruclips.net/video/-O9aWxrXQpc/видео.html
I saw Jon Anderson live this year. He was touring with a group called the Band Geeks. They played nothing but 70s Yes stuff. Jon has lost nothing of his voice at 78 years old. It's all still there. I never got to see Yes live. This was the best concert I ever saw. I teared up in just about every song.
YES it was an awesome tour! Look for new music from Jon and The Band Geeks soon! Best to you!
Band Geeks are amazing!
Hello 👋🏼🥰. I have to tell you that you’ve become my absolute favorite reactor.
I’ve been in love with YES since I’m 13!! ..and I just turned. Well…… I’m older. LoL.
I so dig your passion for my favorite group/band/brilliant entertainers ever!! No one plays guitar like the amazing Steve Howe! The ethereal vocals of Jon Anderson, the drums of Bill Buford… the keys?? The keys of Rick Wakeman… and the ever forever brilliant Chris Squire on bass. RIP. sigh……
I can tell you love them. Maybe. Just maybe close to as much as I do. Maybe 😉
Just so you know….. Jon Anderson is out there… so is Steve Howe… (touring actually as YES). Also I believe Rick Wakeman is out there as well making his music.
I just wanted to say I’m a new subscriber. Relatively recently.. and I’m here to support you.
You know…. I still have my YES albums! Original albums!! Oh yes..
…and I almost forgot! (You might appreciate this). YES was the very first concert I ever went too!! I’ve seen them twice in my life. The best!! ❤♥️♥️👍🏼
In my opinion?? Best music ever. The ‘70s!
Thanks for the great reaction. You have to hear the studio version of Long Distance Runaround. Sadly the relatively poor sound quality of Yessongs doesn’t render justice to Chris’ tone in that song. the tome of the bass slides in the studio version is incredible.
Wait till you hear "Yours Is No Disgrace", "Starship Trooper", and "Siberian Khatru" from this live Masterpiece. They are like entirely new songs live. As is with most bands,
live versions get sped up a bit when played live. BTW "Perpetual Change" also Great from this album has Bill doing an Epic Drum Solo and the end of the track. Both Alan and Bill play
on various track, Bill left at the beginning of them touring live. I got to see them in '77.
Great memories of Chris going off!! Not too this concert but later! ❤ They really do transcend you!
Jon does still tour! Did projects with different artists/groups!
Yes still tours-Steve only Classic Lineup member left, Jon Davison singer, Geoff Downes keys, Billy Sherwood Bass & Jay Shelley drums - so ya they still tour…if you’ve never seen them …I’d see this lineup. I’ve seen this current line up about 5 times-but blessed to have seen the best way back when 😊
Saw them live in '73. My college years. Back in DC. stadium.
They are both on fragile
YesSongs has Perpetual Change which has a rare Bruford drum solo and also Yours Is No Disgrace which features Steve Howe. Both best versions of those epic songs.
Many miss this but at (12:17) Chris starts a short Led Zeppelin phrase to about (12:47) from one of Pages guitar Orchestrations during a solo !! 👍🎸🎶
Chris sent his bass signal through a Marshal guitar head and a bass head tob2 different cabinets to get that aggressive sound. He also used wah and bass pedals from an old organ for the super low notes.
Smart, resourceful dude. He knows his instrument well. Learn the rules so you can break them!
I guess the Taurus pedal synth wasn’t available yet. He made great use of that.
The dynamics on this track (and on the entire album) is also a tribute to their new on-stage sound systems. They had toured with Iron Butterfly in Europe the year before and been so impressed by the stage sound rig of the American band that they just bought it (or a copy of it, perhaps?). Suddenly they could hear what they were playing and how it fit in with the rest of the band, in real time - before that point they had done this on feeling, it was more "hit and miss" but now they took a major leap up towards a more professional sound on stage. When they were off to the US the next winter they couldn't bring their sound rig with them across the Atlantic, so they got a new one custom built for them by Roy Clair who was destined for a long career in stage audio systems (this is from Chris Welch's book about the band). So they moved to a sound that was both fatter, beefier and more dynamic and precise,
With my first job delivering newspapers as a teenager, I saved up for this triple album with the 3 tracks from the previous album Close To The Edge and the best from Fragile and The Yes Album. So many good records came out back then. I only bought the studio albums as CDs. Jamming dominates here, so the 3:31 version became a 13:37. Merry Xmas!!!
"I love Jon so much bro." Yeah...me too. Ty for reaction! Happy holidays to you and those close to you.
Can you imagine being there to see that performance live?! Hell YES! 🤗
When you said "Steve is just showing off", That was Chris.
This track is virtually a full bass solo covering the full range of tones.
Yeah I realize that now lol crazy shit
Merry christmas to everybody
Fantastic album..music.. performance..cover design....
Glad to see you checking out Yessongs, Lee. As good as Yes' albums are, many Yessongs tracks are considered definitive. This version of LDR follows the studio version closely, but "The Fish" is a whole 'nother kettle of... fish. 😉 This was back in the early 70's when long-winded solos were the rule, even from the bass players. At least Chris took something as musical as "The Fish" as his starting point (his previous solo had been based on an old Rascals tune called "It's Love"), which was a more interesting framework harmonically, plus the 7/4 meter gave Bill something meatier to play with.
Back in high school, the bit at 9:48 was often used as a gag on non-Yes fans. We'd push a cassette into someone's car stereo and when it got to that part we'd go "Dude, what's wrong with your stereo, turn it up!" 🤣 But yeah, it's always good to hear the Squire-Bruford rhythm section live. By '72 they had serious musical telepathy, even though things like this were scripted and rehearsed (there's a brief bit of Chris working on this in the 'Sounding Out' film from '72.)
Re: Yes music live today, Steve Howe's Yes is plugging along, doing the best they can with an aging cast of well-meaning musicians who unfortunately aren't up to doing the old stuff justice. But they ARE creating new music with a new album recently out, and the thread of Yes' DNA is in there IMO. Jon is also off 'doing different things', and they usually always involve old Yes music. He's still got 'THE VOICE', which is incredible at his age. I personally hope he gets back with Richie Castellano and the crew that supported Jon on a short tour of Yes classics that was about as faithful to the originals and close to this caliber of musicianship as you'll find.
"So good, I'm staring at a f***g picture!" Oh yeah - that's what we used to do when we first bought the vinyl of these albums back in the 1970s. We stared at the album sleeves and artwork while listening over and over to the music. The music now has an unshakeable connection to the dominant colour of the artwork of these albums for me.
Hahaha 😆 that's so true... all yall had was the vinyl sleeve and the cover. No music videos or anything till later... or go to the live show! That's all there was. Nowadays there's 5 videos for one new song lol
This is why they often referred to Roger Dean as the sixth member. But then, I've heard Eddie Offord called that, too.
Yes..the greatest prog band
Yes will always be there for you!!!! Yes music is eternal…
I will be listening to this when I'm 70. I already know I will be lol. It absolutely is eternal 🙏
Jon called their manager asking him to find the name of a fish with the right number of syllables. It's a real fish. This a just a little before google.
Chris played with a pick. Geddy Lee said something like, ~Chris is my favorite player, even if he does play with a plectrum.~
Hopefully you don't know yet there's a movie version of Yessongs... if you haven't, it means you have a chance to see new Yes stuff, which is officially _A Good Thing(tm)_
I prefer most of the mvsik from the album, but seeing is almost disbelieving.
It sounds like Rick has samples of Jon's voice for his Mellotron... does anyone know if this is true.
Merry Chris-mas.
Ok, I got goosebumps going into the fish. Not that I haven’t heard a thousand times, or seen it done live at least two dozen times. Just knowing it was coming up, goosebumps! Merry Christmas Eve Eve Caturday >^^
..by the way: in the final part they sung ''Schindleria Praematurus'' - means a species of Fish. The Piece is a Composition of Chris Squire called 'The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus).☺ Kind Regards Heinz (from Munich/Germany). ✨ Merry Christmas to you and your whole Family. 🌳🥀🌱🌷💓✨
It's the smallest fish in the sea.🎅🏻😎
This album set is $100.00 at the Vintage Stock near me. Hanging on the wall, up real high. I've been looking at it all year. 💙🎶🎵🎶.
One of two appearances by Bill Bruford. My two favorite tracks on the album.
Facts:
There’s no video footage of this performance from 1972.
When you said “that’s so evil sounding “ that’s Chris playing Led Zeppelin Friends from III.
Chris and Alan did Whitefish together starting in 1984 but they never tried to do what you just heard.
In the studio version all the parts Chris played here are layered over each other and played at the same time.
YES IS STILL TOURING AND THEY HAVE NEW MATERIAL. Peter passed first, then Chris, and now Alan. They just toured the US in October and November.
I'm gonna have to catch a show if possible... I need to see them live while I still can.
Their current bass player, Billy Sherwood, is no slouch, covering the Squire parts admirably well. When I saw them last year, Billy was pretty much carrying the show on his shoulders (along with Steve, of course). And their current singer Jon Davison does Anderson's vocal parts very well in his own style. Still very much worth seeing. (Oh, and hi Joel!)
YES were so so so SLLLLICKKKKKKKKKKK ! Rivetingly TIGHT - They put accents on EVERY NOTE!!!! "waiting for the sunSHINE!!!!!!" Each member's style & sound are so distinctly unique and powerful! BTW that thing you said about the "fast part / slow part" is key to understanding a technique of their 70's style. They create a VORTEX sound by interweaving 3 to 4 different rhythmic patterns between themselves producing that signature hypnotic sonic whirlpool effect. FYI: There is a song on Led Zep 3 called "FRIENDS" and during the SOLO, CHRIS actually plays a part of that song's main melodic theme very fast for a few bars. Although the great SOLO is less intense on the ORIGINAL off the FRAGILE album, still you MUST REACT to it! !!!!! B-B-BUT I MUST RECOMMEND!!!! that you start with **** Bill's 38 sec.song "FIVE PERCENT TO NOTHING' which leads into LONG DISTANCE. then THE FISH. (Schindleria Praematurus, the biological term for "Fish' is what they are chanting during the end)
Awesome
Talk about a blow your mind show. Yes is extraordinary. Happy Holidays dude.
You're right about the audio quality being better then the video but with today's technology I wish they would revisit this album. It always sounded kinda muddy which could definitely be cleared up.
This is why we consider Chris Squire and Steve Howe the best in music history. Chris Squire is the best bassist in music history. I consider Steve Howe is the best guitar player in music history!!!! Period. 😊😊😊😊
You must do the audio version for "Yours is no Disgrace" because that is the very best version. Steve messes-up on the video version, which is sub-par.
And on "The Fish" apart from Steve's slide guitar intro, Chris's bass is playing lead all the way through.
"Long Distance Runaround" and "The Fish" are from the Fragile album.
By the way, you shouldn't forget: in this Piece, Chris played his bassguitar partially like a classical guitar. No One did this bevor him. This is, for me, the greatest Bassguitar solo of all Time. Aside from that, ob this live version ('Fragile' Tour 1972 with Bill Bruford on Drums and Percussion), the piece 'The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus) is absolute perfect worked out and - over and beyond - played absolutely wonderfully - a Masterpiece from this Band and beyond also an outstanding example of masterful composition art, in short: simply breathtaking! 😀 Kind Regards Heinz (Munich/Germany) ✨ Merry Christmas to you and to all People on this great channel. ☺✨
Rickenbacker 4001 !!! 👍🎸🎶
Sorry no Rick emoji 😆
That wasn't Steve showing off. It was Chris.
Great Lee. Yes is grand without bring bombastic, earthy without being middle earthy, wise without being pompous, proverbial without preaching, folksy yet cosmic,uniquely unpredictable, and generally they just really kick ass. Random thought/request: Phil Manzanera, “Diamond Head”.
Harry Nilsson "Jump into the fire" Fire from back in my day. Enjoy.
Personally I can’t wait ‘till you get to “I’ve Seen All Good People”!
Squire!!...Master.
Those Ric basses had a "Ric O Sound" port, or jack in addition to the standard jack. So, one could get more sound designs using a guitar amp as well as a bass amp. Add some pedals and Chris...
Nice one Lee merry xmas everyone🎅
Starship Trooper is next. They sing 'Schindleria praematurus' over the Coda. It's an ancient type of fish.
Tthe only other bass solo I've heard (and saw) that sounded like that was Jon Camp from Renaissance on their live at Carnegie Hall version of Ashes are Burning.
Awesome. As you haven't listened to the original, you should now - then you'll know where they were coming from. That cough was in C by the way :)
Good ear! Bill played only on these two songs. Alan played on the remainder of this album.
Haha thank you! Bill has a very distinctive swing and jazzy feel to his snare and his hi hat. I could immediately recognize it lol I've listened to one of a kind too many times not too 😆😆😆
Chris was known as "the fish". That`s why the song name.
Welcome to the the best top three live albums ever (if not the best?). This was always pride of my album collection.
Steve and Chris are my favorite duo guitar and bass. Go and check Tempus Fugit off the Drama album. They kill it.
Love Bruford doing a 5 pattern over 4/4. Had a helluva time figuring this out as a teenager (64 now). Doing a four count, the snare beat kept moving down a beat after each bar. Still not easy for me to play.
Finally! :)
Right?? This has been on the list for months 😆 It was fantastic of course 😀
I love it that you love Yes... H ave you heard Jon sing on Legend yet (TD) Loved by the sun... Wow. Happy Christmas man... My known name is Wing Commander Blue...... Peace. 🖖
I am so glad I discovered them... they have honestly changed my life. Yes is literally light and hope personified into music and it's beautiful... I'm glad your here! And no I have not heard it yet. I will add it to the list! Thank you 😊
@@L33Reacts on the 8th day Ridley Scott and God gave Tangerine Dream 3 weeks to come with the score for Legend..
@wfamdaxj legend is one of my favorite movies of all time. And my favorite 80s movie. It is just pure magic and fantasy. It felt like an abstract primordial vision into our long forgotten past. Ridley is a genius. And the score was perfect. Even as a child I recognized how special both were.
@wfamdaxj oh you were talking about Jon's track on legend, sorry I was confused. Yes it Is an amazing track. My unknowingly first encounter with the legend of Jon Anderson
This version of The Fish is fun but listen to the studio version on Fragile, because it is a masterpiece!
Great paring of these tracks from Fragile. Live much more dynamic than studio but both are great
That album you have been covering is pronounced like Tour Mah Toe!I must have listened to my brother’s copy of The YESSONGS live about 150 times in its entirety! I used to just close my eyes and let my imagination loose!
If you ever have 2 hours to spare, I would urge you to listen to the whole album "Yessongs" in one go (not for your RUclips channel, of course). There are a lot of videos of it, but they are mostly "subterranean" in terms of picture and sound quality. With a little imagination and closed eyes, the album is like going to a concert. And the "concert" is really stunning.
Sounds like something I will do soon then...I'll definitely plop down and listen to it one of these days. Thank you for the suggestion!
@@L33Reacts I used to like to make an exotic tea (China Kwai Flower Oolong), light incense sticks and then just listen to music ;-)
But in the age of smartphones and social media, this has become difficult.
@@L33Reacts No reason not to do videos of the entire six sides of YESSONGS. I know at least two other reactors who did that (A Pocketful of Heep and Jim Newstead), but they broke it up into parts (e.g. one side per video). And they played the songs all the way through without any being blocked. I think it's fair to say the live versions blow the studio ones out of the water, so we'd all love to hear your thoughts about them and overall about the album.
Schindleria Primaturus is the latin name for the smallest fish species on earth. At least at the moment of naming the song, maybe smaller ones are discovered since.
Ok I was wondering what the hell that meant lol thank you!!
"Chris is crazy, that's evil sounding" hahahahaha LOL 🤣🤣
I prefer everything off of Yessongs compared to the studio versions
It's a magical moment from Chris! Yessongs and Yesshows are classic live albums that should be checked out. If you like this, I'm sure you'll love the live bass solo on Ritual from Yesshows where he and Alan take it to another level.
In my opinion, the Bass Solo from Chris on Yessongs is unmatched til today - and will probably stay that way. 🌳🥀🌱🌷✨ Kind Regards Heinz (Munich/Germany). ✨✨Merry Christmas to you and your Family. ✨
@@heinzmuller159 When it comes to expressive bass playing, Chris is unmatched. Merry Chrismas to you and yours from Glasgow/UK! 🎄
Ooooh I've done live ritual but not from that show. I might just do it .. I can't get enough of Chris lol
@@davidyoung7418 Oh, thank you David. Greetings from München (Munich) also to you and your Family. ✨Merry Christmas. God bless you! ☺ ❤ ✨
@@davidyoung7418 finally a musically tidbit from me to you: 'Silver Ships' (from the 1971 Album 'Seven Tears') by Golden Earring and The Solo Album from 'Focus' Guitarrist Jan Akkerman: 'Tabernakel' (1973). In my opinion, this is the best Soloalbum from a Musican ever made. Really! On this Album Jan Akkerman shows all his skills. He played the lute like nobody does before him, also he is playing Acoustic and electric Guitar as well as the Sitar at the Piece 'Lammy - His last Will and Testament - incl. Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice - a absolute phantastic 19 Minute Piece of Music and a great Composition from Akkerman. Also he played 15th and 16th Century compositions, among other things from John Dowland and many other composers of this (Renaissance) Epoch. Many of the compositions on this absolute breathtaking Album are arranged with a grand Chamber Orchestra. This Album is a absolute 'must have'! You'll be amazed! Trust me. ☺Kind Regards Heinz. 🌳🥀✨
my favorite version
I hope you find time to listen to the Yessongs version of Perpetual Change, which is amazing. I would actually be happy to see you react to anything from Yessongs as long as it's not the video versions, which have atrocious sound quality. I prefer the Yessongs versions to the originals in many cases. Note that LDR/FIsh and Perpetual Change are the only two Yessongs tracks with Bill Bruford on drums instead of Alan White.
I will definitely be doing perpetual change from yessongs! I've had so many people request it lol thank you for watching! Yeah I did starship trooper live from yessongs and the video and audio were bad lol
JON SAID “TOUR 2024”. you aren’t going to outlive me LOL. I plan on winning the lottery and living to 150 years! Right…
Les Claypool rocks! Seen them years ago, when Jerry Was A Race-car Driver times.
Hey Lee, when Yessongs came out I played it to death- still got my copy 50 years on! Somehow 'live ' albums in the 70s really caught those electrifying performances so well. You need to look into Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous- regarded as one of the very best. Keep up the good work man.
I've never heard of it! I'm excited to look into it though. And I bet you did! It hardly sounds live until someone claps or coughs. Crazy production value... thanks for watching my friend
Live and dangerous is well known for having more overdubs than live bits. Almost all the guitars and vocals are dubbed. when does a live performance stop being live?. Made In Japan has no overdubs..........
