This song reminds me of September 11, 2001. In the midst of chaos, calamity and terror, New York brought out the best in humanity. From 1st responders, Firefighters and police, FBI and others including just strangers, to the hundreds with boats, yachts. the Port Authority vessels, ferrys, and every private boat available came to the aid and rescue to half a million Americans. God Bless them All! I've seen All Good People.
If I wasn't of the generation that was familiar with music like this I would be shocked too. People today don't expect so much out of their music. They have low expectations. We were so lucky that all things coalesced to give us greatness in those years. And back then we thought this would go on indefinitely. Unfortunately, it didn't.
90s born here, all hope is not lost. Lots of our parents raised us on this music, we just have to wait for the style to become popular again lol. I believe there will be another musical revolution. I will say the songs I heard as a child still continue to "shock" me after re listening to them closely as an adult. What a phenomenon of a time you guys lived in for music. On a side note good music is still being made it's just harder to find it without a like minded friend giving you suggestions, there's just so much to sift through that when all you find is crap it becomes discouraging
Yes, exactly. The hard work and skills of the late 60s and 70s pop musicians was amazing. Not to mention the vocalizing. Will there ever be another Jon Anderson, Jimmie Page, Steve Howe, Ronnie Lane, or Maddy Pryor? Why bother, if you have synthesizers, vocoders and drum machines. According to a documentary on YB, they would record their songs of this era in ten-second fragments, and fight with each other for every note.
Incredibly lucky to have bought their albums from the beginning and saw them dozens of times Every show in the 70s had a very special magic. They were the best!
At 73 I am overjoyed that the awesome music I enjoyed on the way to being 'adult' is being enjoyed by younger enthusiasts today. 50 years ago this track blew me away, it still does.
I remember hearing this on AM radio in 1971. It was a shorter radio edit, but was an excellent introduction to Yes. After the Beatles, Yes is my all time favorite band
My first album from Yes was the triple album "Yessongs" (live, 1973). I was blown away immediately. But that's why, for me, many of the old songs in this live version are the "original" and not the studio version. You can just try it out. When you close your eyes, it's almost like going to a concert ;-)
What they did live on Yessongs was so amazing. I had all the studio albums then purchased Yessongs when it came out. The studio versions are great, pure with perfect musicianship. But the live version so much energy, adaption and extension. That pushed those songs to whole new level. You have to hear it believe it.
Yessongs was my second one after Tales from Topographic Oceans. And with the other studio albums I made the same experience. The dynamics in the live versions make them much more exciting. When I first heard the studio version of Close to The Edge I was really disappointed not to talk about Yours Is No Disgrace.
I love every version. Each one has something special about it. For any of their live stuff it was always the incredible improvisations around the composed framework. I just about wore my Yessongs out. It is also a film that made midnight theaters around that time. Very good live record of that time
YES, "SEEN ALL GOOD PEOPLE / YOUR MOVE " I was 14 when I first heard ROUNDABOUT. I was a Forever fan and I couldn't wait to hear it again since A.M. is all one could be exposed to young people music That weren't 2 - 3 min songs that were shortened in order the a.m.stations, were able to get another overplayed commercial on the airwaves. I went out to add to start of my Album collection. You guessed it I bought YES, and the Album FRAGILE. 50 years later I listen devoted lyrics. To greatest songs ever. More YES, "STARSHIP TROOPER", "LONG DISTANCE RUN AROUND", "CHANGES", "AIM HIGH, SHOOT LOW". "YOURS IS NO DISCRACE", "LEAVE IT",
Those of us who were lucky enough to listen to this when it was first released knew we were listening to something special.... maybe we didn't realise how special.... because back then there were a good few groups and artists who were also quite special.... we were spoilt for choice. Truly spoilt for choice.
I actually went crazy listening to this song. I have heard this song a thousand times and one day I really listen to the lyrics and it drove me crazy to the point where my sister had to call 911 and get me removed from her house.
I tear up a bit when I hear this song, emotion, life, depth, thanks to these artists back then. they took their music seriously, not just rap money garbage. Guitars aint bad
This was my first Album I heard and bought in 1971, aged 15. ‘Yours Is No Disgrace’ was the first track I heard, but this is the track that gave me goosebumps, that intro’ of Jon Anderson’s voice and the harmonies, then Steve Howe’s beautiful Acoustic Guitar. ‘The Yes Album’ is their third Album, so I promptly went and bought the first two and I was on my way. My first Live Show was aged 17, in 1973, at my hometown venue, Leicester. I was lucky enough to see ‘Yes-Featuring ‘ARW’, (Anderson, Rabin, Wakeman’), in 2017 and 2018. Jon’s voice was still as amazing ever, in his 70’s and he’s still going now. You are on your ‘Yes Journey’ now, so you should follow it through, you won’t regret it. Just my opinion. Enjoy. 🎶❤️🎶
I saw yes in concert in 71 or 72 don't remember exactly but they were amazing, just as awesome live as on their albums...I'm still in awe of this band.
Yes has a very distinct sound, especially in their earlier days. If you want to hear some awesome harmonies, bass and percussion, check out home free. They've done covers of Johnny Cash, John Denver, collaborated with the Oak Ridge Boys, Kenny Rogers, and Lee Greenwood. They also have original stuff. They have about 150+ videos and counting.
Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth. This song is only 51 yrs old you should give Siberian Khatru a listen it's only 50 yrs young. Nice job boys.
Enjoyed your reaction and this is the start of an amazing Yes journey. They made so many epics so please do not be put off by songs 18 to 22 mins long! They are amazing sonic journeys.
talking about a chess game in the opening, Don't surround yourself with yourself is chess advice, My guess is that the player is the Knight. As the music shifts into Rock mode Jon introduces his, I've Seen all good people, riff, and it became a anti war statement, Taking up the message from John and Yoko Lennon. It was the only time current events penetrated their music. although some might argue, Yours is no Disgrace might be included. I love the Wakeman touch. The use of Organ is magnificent. I alway s enjoy hearing this one. I heard them do it live. in DC stadium, 72. I was twenty four at the time,
@@GetSidewaysReacts The descant of Give Peace a Chance and reference to Instant Karma are two of the things that make this a stand out track to me. I always look for discussion on or any other nods to those aspects of All Good People in reactions. Usually I'm disappointed. Not this time! 👍
Thanks for posting. Very interesting dynamic happening here. The drummer for The Plastic Ono Band was Alan White who replaced Bill Burford the original drummer for Yes. Alan is still with Yes but because of a bad back plays part time on tour.
@@GetSidewaysReacts I've pointed that out in other reaction videos, the Instant Karma line and the replies I always get are "it's INSTANT COMMENT YOU MORON" lol
Let him get the feel of Yes before you drop Close to the Edge on him,that’s a hard first listen,but all these years later,I know and love every note,every nuance. Boy,were we spoiled back then or what.
For sure spoiled is the word, for those exposed to these bands. But to be fair, if you're younger and get them today, you are still getting them for the first time, getting that initial rush, and because it's very different than what's around, it is an even greater rush. But I get a rush out of seeing these new people react to it.
As a teen, when I first heard this song in my bedroom, I aged 5 years by the time supper was ready. Years of going to church can't match it, because Rock Music, all music, belongs to God.

It goes on indefinitely in my ears.

Yeah finally getting back to YES! A lot more great music to explore with this great band!
When I first heard this - i.e. when it first came out - little did I imagine it would one day be described as "crispy".

'Yours is No Disgrace'.
Timeless beautiful music it has been my pleasure to know since summer 1972.
I went to one of their concerts in Underground Atlanta in the 70s. It was awesome!

Saw Yes with Emerson Lake and Palmer in Roosevelt Stadium in NJ....1977, maybe. Best concert ever.
Wow - monster show.

No self respecting hippy was without this album . Prog rock at its finest .

havent listened to yes in ages. loved them as a teen. still great 👍
Steve Howe playing a clean guitar - love it..........

Heart of the sunrise is amazing.
Thank you for the nod to the Plastic Ono Band!
I wondered if anyone would notice that

Yep.
I'm a huge fan of Alan's local band, White, who I've seen several times at the Issaquah Salmon Days festival over the years.

Yet another great reaction guys ,d.j. young man , listen to starship troopers and close to the edge .they will blow your mind.👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧💎💎
Next "Starship Trooper" :)
This is another Full Album listening. Even "live with for a week or two"...
Background vocal, All we are saying is give peace a chance
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
This is art
Awesome ❤

Put your waiters on fellas, it's about to get deep. 👀
Alan White, the drummer who replaced Bill Bruford in this album play the drums in the Plactic Ono Band and the IMAGINE record with John Lennon.
Wasn’t this album, it was after close to the edge
Why does the thumbnail show the dude burying his face in his hand, which is not his reaction in the video??
You should introduce him to some Emerson,Lake and Palmer
I did. The same day he heard this song. Search our channel for Toccata.
Great track, marred only by Bruford's leaden drumming.
Am I the only one who hears Steely Dan in the second half of this?
As a teen, when I first heard this song in my bedroom, I aged 5 years by the time supper was ready.
Years of going to church can't match it, because Rock Music, all music, belongs to God.
The only thing that bugs me about this song.... is that Yoko Ono earns money every time it's played.
?
@@ruudg3565 Because of the "All we are saying is give peace a chance," the John Lennon estate demanded royalties on the song.
Make the distinction between earned and paid.
Hi, I want you to stop doing this. It's very uncomfortable using your kid like this.
