Squire's tone is so perfect.
when I first heard "Roundabout" on the radio, age 13, THAT BASS is what grabbed me and punched me in the face!
Squire may be the #1 musician in history who spoke to me more than any other!
This bass tone is like a thick dark, grainy bread or a stout bear. So rich and earthy!
Paddington was a stout bear - too much honey going to his tummy.....
Brilliant melodic counterpoint so painfully absent in most music I hear today...a composition unto itself..
After all these years, it's still my favorite Yes song. I knew it would be the moment I first heard it. Named my cat, Khatru, after it (R.I.P.)
To me his signature sound is the 16th notes in the end, filling out Bruford's sparse drums. Love.
Fascinating... what a great inovative pair. Love fragile and close to ... the band changed considerably when Bruford left! A unique player.
Chris Squire’s innovative bass technique is still too much underrated. Squire was for rock what Jaco Pastorius was for jazz.
Perfect touch and tone.
John Entwistle
Ya, I'd argue that the Squire-Bruford team really made for a special formula. Bruford is just an incredible talent on drums, and clearly blends well with Squire's phenomenal playing. That said, Bruford complained that Squire was always late arriving for everything, including gigs, which would get very annoying. Also, Chris was very meticulous in designing his bass lines, and would belabor them for hours. The results were spectacular, but I can imagine for a musician like BB who had jazz sensibilities that it could become very tedious. Obviously, Bruford went on to join King Crimson, and his work with Tony Levin is equally great. Levin is also a bass player very mindful of bass tone, and utilizes upright bass, as well as the Chapman stick to get some unique sounds.
Yeah, was amazing they worked as well as they did!
I can’t listen to Yes with Alan White…. The magic is lost. They survive losing such titans as Pete Banks and Tony Kaye (all amazing players in their own right but Howe and Wakeman brought something else to the table…. I just don’t get that with Alan white. He was only good on the simplest stuff (Drama and 90210) … but it’s painful to hear him play something like heart of sunrise…. There’s so much bruford is doing here that is magical
After viewing a number of these isolated instrument track videos, 50 years into my Yes journey I can finally really appreciate just how critical Chris' bass parts are to their sound. I knew he was a great bassist, but this really shows the subtlety and fine detail. RIP Chris, and thank you!
So good blood hard very inventive. Aleast i saw them live in Melbourne when Yes did this. 72-73 love shit like this thanks great post. Ricky sounds fabulous what a player
Brilliant!
It's mostly bass...which I wasn't expecting...great big thick mahogany slabs of Rickenbacker!
I think you mean maple slabs! I'm pretty sure that Chris usually used a Mapleglo Rick, which is almost entirely made of maple. I haven't seen an authentic Rickenbacker made of mahogany. Have you?
ricks are made from maple and recently walnut.
@@SonicXRage It wasn't mapleglo, probably originally fireglo, but yes the Rick was made of maple wood before it was repainted cream.
Jesus people, he's referring to the sound. "great big thick mahogany slabs of Rickenbacker!" will do nicely. Christ...@@SonicXRage
I don't know what Squire had but only a rare few musicians had "it". Obviously he created a unique sound but I've heard 1000 guys try to cover it, some come close but to this day no one played those bass parts or sounded like Chris did, especially the period with Bruford. Bruford was a head strong personality and I think he pushed Chris, who was known to be always late and a bit lazy. But the two of them together was as good as it gets. Their timing was perfect, both were metronomes.
It must have been some chemistry with Bruford. This is not a complicated bass line (though the main section is alternative 8s and 7s), but good Gandalf does it sound fantastic.
Chris was late because it was a thing for the “most talented” member of a group to make the others wait. - I heard Bruford say this in a drumming seminar northern NJ in 1985.
I've read that Horn said that Chris could hear a millisecond difference in timing. The early Synclavier was only good for 10 ms resolution and Horn complained to them that was not enough.
This is my favourite song.
The bass kicks ass.
Strictly for us bass player’s and drummers alike!
isn't this for guitar players?
@@phillipanselmo8540 It's for everyone :)
@@SonicXRage if Amerikkkan police didn't falsely arrest me every year and steal my instruments etc.....i'd take all these ISOLATED tracks and add my OWN instruments and vocals atop and LITERALLY have these cats "in my band" on the recordings!
@@jonbongjovi1869
That's copyright theft.
@@wispa1a YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! And....absolutely wrong, sir!
"HOW CAN YOU BE BOTH??"
How can you go east.....and end up west?? (If you go east, you hit china. If you go the OPPOSITE direction, you still end up in china!! That's "Both-ism"!)
EX:
YOU SHOULD BE RIGHT (that YES's brilliant rhythm section's bass / drum parts are COPYWRITTEN) but you'd be wrong.
The ARCANE and insane system they STILL use (illegally) says the MAIN MELODY and the CHORD PROGRESSIONS are copywritable but not all the other stuff!
(You think Jon Anderson wrote EVERY NOTE? Of course he didn't! So why does he get 100% OF THE ROYALTIES and copyright? A: bc he did the MAIN melody and mainCHORDS.)
UNDER CURRENT "LAWS", neither Bruford or Squire's part is copywritten.
PART TWO:
EVEN IF YOU WERE TOTALLY RIGHT (and their parts ARE copywritten), you'd STILL be wrong:
EX:
I USE OTHER PPL'S ART OR PHOTOS for many Album Covers I've made.
YES, this is "illegal"......but it's NOT A PROBLEM.....UNLESS THE RECORD SELLS A TON OF COPIES, get it?
(And that's very very unlikely, see?)
ONLY IF YOU HAD A HUGE HIT (with my "stolen" Squire/Bruford parts under MY guitar etc) WOULD IT EVEN BE AN ISSUE.
(No one sues ppl who failed and made no money copying something!)
IF I STEAL AN ARTIST'S PAINTING (or a model's face) FOR MY ALBUM COVER.....it will ONLY get their attention IF IT'S A HIT.
IF IT'S A HIT...then OF COURSE I'd want to PAY THOSE WHOSE STUFF I BORROWED OR STOLE, see?
WIN / WIN, baby!
I think there should be an entirely NEW GENRE where musicians TODAY create all kinds of new tunes and records using BITS of the greatest musicians before. (And I don't mean like Sampling.)
(If I were Bruford and Squire, i'd LOVE the idea that I did the work ONCE, and yet that one day of work....was used in 500 different NEW rock bands, in 500 different ways! MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!)
Thanks for doing this.
This is off world good
Many Thanks!!
Insane!!!!!
I would love to hear the rest of what is on the tape after the song cuts out at 8:50 but Chris and Bill (Steve and Rick, too) are still playing. 🎸 🥁
¡Qué maravilla!
This could've been the whole track and still I'd be hooked. The section at 1:44 has always been impossible for me to count along to though
Wow interesting little blip at 2:40, maybe a punch in?
I don't hear anything different?
Antológic
Monsters!
Now you know why Bruford wanted out. The beat here is not something a jazz drummer would find terribly interesting.
Bill Broford was an incredible jazz drummer but Alan White has worked with three of the four Beatle's.
Bill Bruford is all all-rounder, playing, e.g., rock with King Crimson, jazz with Earthworks. The music Alan White did with the three Fabs didn't come anywhere close to the complexity of Yes & King Crimson.
Bill Bruford didn't need band members from The Beatles to prop up his career.
I like Alan White, but he's NO BRUFORD and no one thinks he is.
BB made YES extra-UNIQUE!
And most of us would've preferred Bill still in 1976 YES rather than filling in in Genesis or playing with UK etc!
Yaw talk yaw's crap about Alan but he was a badass, I totally get it about bill, I'm a drummer, he was very damn different and unique for sure, him and squirrel were a team but so was white and squire but all b.s. .....aside I do understand what you guys are saying , glad I saw um both on the UNION tour in Atlanta, Georgia ......that was my 5 th time, lot of damn serious talent on that stage that night, one of the best for sure but every time I saw yes I left there DAH................THANK YOU DEAR LORD for letting me see that group the 6 times I did....AMEN .....
@@jonbongjovi1869 Bill went on to much bigger and better things after Yes. He would've been held back if he'd stayed with them. Alan White is, in my mind, THE drummer for Yes when you consider how many more years he spent with them. Having a jazz drummer in Yes was cool, but not sustainable over the long term trajectory of the band.
