![Natanael Cano - Amor Eterno [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EO4prCs6WpM/mqdefault.jpg)
I’m 19 and this is my favorite band of all time, their music is indescribable and truly out of this world!
So glad to hear a young guy get into one of the greatest bands ever
Mine too and I'm 57.....
You would've loved the 70's my friend
mine too and I'm 69
Dude, I'm an old guy and first saw Yes in 1971. Still probably my favorite Prog Rock band. Supremely talented. Unbelievably so.
The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge, Tales of Topographic Oceans and Relayer. Absolutely awesome. Virtuosity.
To be honest without this song I wouldn't be the person I am! This song this band ultimately changed my outlook on music and life! I've been listening to this song for 45 years and every single time it brings tears to my eyes because it is in my opinion the greatest song ever made!
I'm with you bro
So hard to describe. Its like being paralyzed by God himself! Spiritual utopia!!
No doubt
It is indeed a masterpiece that is more mysterious to me now than it was then. Nobody composed like this. Nobody but YES
You have to understand that early Yes was fortunate enough to come along when the record company and producers gave them the freedom to create this type of music. They take us on an incredible journey. Don't forget, this was the 70s. So close your eyes and take a ride, Close To The Edge.
They had a high regard for Ahmet Ertegun, the boss of Atlantic (their record company) who let them do whatever they wanted to do. And Led Zeppelin reunited after 27 years in a tribute concert to him after he died. How many record company owners would command such respect these days?
Also FM Radio was new and they played whole albums not just hits. Requests weren't that big a deal to these new stations. Yes, Genesis, Steely Dan, etc wouldn't exist without open minded record executives/producers and FM radio. I do believe there was short version of Roundabout that was played a lot on our AM stations.
Wouldn't happen today
The sacred music that is YES
My son, you have achieved Nirvana. You have reached the heights of progressive rock. You have been blessed and sanctified by the perfection of the ultimate Yes showcase masterpiece. Congratulations and welcome to the celestial plane of being. How-ummmmmmmmmm ....
Very nice Frankincensed 🌠
I've been listening to YES for over 50 years now and their music never gets old and never ceases to amaze me.
So true.
Almost 19 minutes and when it's done you wish it was still going.
Aye Randy
Oh boy! Stopped dinner prep to listen in. My family understands. Seasons will pass you by...
All of us true Yes fans understand Andrew.
50 year Yes listener here.
@@YoCraps-og4kt Right on, 48 year listener here saw them live twice back then never to be forgotten concerts.
@@78yestor93 Isn't it great brother, these younger people experiencing the "magic of Yes"?
I get up...i get down.
Greatest song ever written.
Rick Wakeman had once said the members of YES would all individually bring down random pieces of music and then they would weave it all together to make something amazing. And they did!
Close to the Edge,the bible of prog.
Geddy,Gabriel,Fripp and every prog legend pay homage to Yes and this legendary,iconic work of art.
Please listen on repeat,each listen will reveal something new and very rewarding.
There are people who cannot escape themselves or surroundings long enough to listen to an 18 minute song. I am not one of them ! Thanks for actually listening to music 👍😎
Thank you!! I'm 62 and I have NEVER gotten tired of listening to Yes. The same with Pink Floyd...many, many thanks Chod!!!
It's great to see young people, especially musicians, hear this and hear what we heard in the Fall of 1972. Yes was a very special band back then. Their albums from the 1971 YES album through 1977's Going for the One represent their core body of work. This sort of music is almost impossible to sell in huge numbers now, at least according to the spineless record industry execs who are incapable of risking what the late Ahmet Ertegun of Atlantic was willing to risk. God bless him for his support. And thank Eddie Offord for his supreme command of the control board, both in the studio and on the road when they toured back then. Yes always loved to do three hour shows. I saw them live in 1974 as they did Tales from Topographic Oceans and most of Close to the Edge, plus Roundabout. It was a magical evening. If you haven't seen the Yes Symphonic Live concert videos here on YT, look them up. They're a treat!
Still listening in 2023 which makes 59 years…aging boomer and I’m still listening to the same music I immersed myself in as a teen, no additional substances needed for this music.💙👍🎶😘
Yes has been my fav since I was 15. Now 62. Yes. Positive name. Positive vibes. Great emotion and spirit. ☮️💜
The pinicle of progressive rock!
Imagine that you’re just a young teenager and you find this in a record store. Mind blown. 🤯
Indeed! I was that 15 yo teenager who found this album at the record store. It was the first Yes album I bought and it remains close to my heart; second only to their next year's release, 'Tales from Topographic Oceans,' which is my favorite Yes album. A 4-sided double album with only FOUR SONGS!! 💙💙💙💙
I was 11 in 1973 when my older brother was away, and my parents, and I snuck in my brothers room, and picked this out for some reason, I have never been the same musically, since
then. I happened to mention to him a year later, about listening to Yes, and what he thought, and I remember saying "but they couldn't play any of this live", and he reached in his crate
of albums and handed me YESSONGS. Not only can they play all of their masterpieces live, they created "new" masterpieces. Yours Is No Disgrace from YESSONGS is a must hear.
They were amazing live. Late 70's in the round at the Forum in Los Angeles. Incredible live show. Sounded better live!
I kind of envy Chod hearing this for the first time. I can barely remember my first time with it, cuz we were smokin'.
@@kima.4268 I saw them in '77, when they did Close To The Edge with the huge screen, with the earth turning and the running man, with dry ice mist, and multicolored nylons stretched from truss to stage, Wow what a show. I saw them on the Tormato tour "in the round" and Jon's Son came out and spoke the lines at the end of "Circus Of Heaven". Again, a Masterpiece Live Show.
RIP Chris Squire, such a Master Bass Player.
@@kima.4268 I was there! :)
my older brother came home from a gig in 1971 , thrust a copy of the Yes album into my hands and said, what do you think of this? I was hooked at 14yrs old and never regarded any other band in the same way ever again
Wilburn Reactions: YES and Led Zeppelin are my 2 favorite bands.
Me: Well, after this I'm sure Led Zeppelin will be fine with "second place" 😎
Before Yes & Zeppelin formed in '68, Jon Anderson & Robert Plant knew each other when Jon was in the Warriors & Robert was in Listen c. '66.
@@krisdoggett483 Cool
@@Lightmane Found another one. I am getting CTTE'd out! Lol.😂😂😂
@@jeffschielka7845 This guy loves YES. He's reacted to some old YES too, which is awesome. Enjoy
@@Lightmane Thanks! You know i will.😎
OK, ready for a 43 minute Prog masterpiece? ("Thick as a Brick")
And when you watched them reproduce it live , on stage, in their prime,
it really feels like a religious experience.
The crowd filing out was
dead silent, not wanting to ruin the memory with
simple conversation.❤
Yes, the are artists. They paint a picture that can't be duplicated. The only thing you can do is sit back and enjoy it. So many colors, textures, flavors and transitions; every band member a musical Dali, if you will.
One of my favorite shows back in the day. Yes in “the round” with the rotating stage set-up.
Yes, saw them in-the-round at MSG with Wakeman. What a show.
This song BLEW me away the first time I heard it. It continues to blow me away EVERY time I listen to it. It is one of my most listened to songs, and I always seem to notice something I never noticed before. It is the very definition of a MUSICAL MASTERPIECE. I hope you enjoy it for a lifetime as I have.
calgary 1979 or 80..I was there..in the round..wish i still had the stubs !!
A Prog Rock masterpiece. I was 15 when it came out. It blew me away. In1972 there was literally nothing like it. "Awaken" is another pinnacle in Yes' catalogue. Give it a listen.
I'd forgotten almost how epic this is. Masterpiece. Every one of them elite level ability. And much like Mozart, Rush, etc. you never get tired of listening to it. This is probably on the same level as Rush's 2112. I'm glad to see all you young kids getting into the classic rock. Rock and Roll is not dead.
One of the great Prog Rock albums of all time. The third song, Siberian Khatru, is Da Bomb! I was in college when this album came out. Hard to believe it was around 50 years ago. :)
Great review my musical friend. Youre right on the money... YES is an Amazing & Special Collaboration of Worldly Musicians..
Progressive rock = a handful of people attempting to be a full orchestra.
Yes = 5 guys succeeding at the above.
Spot on mate .
It’s quite literally a religious experience listening to this song and album. Tales From Topographic Oceans is the following album, a double album, four sides, each side is a song, each song is a masterpiece. Enjoy it when you get to it.
My personal favorite Yes album! TFTO!! Indeed that each song is a masterpiece! 👍💜💗
@@justineapril7922 TFTO was my first experience with Yes. I was only 13 or 14. Didnt understand what I was listening to , but I knew it was great. Their musicc will be studied by musicians for years to come.
" Deeper than just music"?....yessir.....in all my years....I have yet to encounter anything that comes close to this beautiful, majestic, powerhouse of a piece of music....and I suspect I never will...
That, my friend, is a musical masterpiece!! Unmatched…even to this day! YES is the greatest band of all time. Now you need to experience yet another masterpiece by them: Gates of Delirium. Enjoy!! Great review!
The more you listen to this song, the better it gets.
This song never gets old !!!
Growing up during the time of these great bands it was everyday music and easy to take for granted. Hearing them through young ears that appreciate the music, helps me realize how truly great they were.
Time being relative, it flies by when I listen to this song.
I was 17 and a lady called me out of the blue and asked if I would like to go and hear “YES” ?. For no other reason that she was someone I would like to know, and was stoked that she knew was into live music. I didn’t tell her I had never heard of YES, but why look a gift horse in the mouth. 50 years on I can still remember every minute of the concert, wish I could remember her though.
Nice reaction. Yes: The gates of delirium, maybe the next one? Thx.
when i saw that you uploaded this, a few minutes ago, I said out loud, "ahh shit", and grinned.
😂😂😂😂
So did I 🙏🏼
Same! Knew Chod was the right man for the job 😊
@@WILBURNREACTIONS I've seen YES over 200 times. Greatest band on this planet!!
Yes is by far my favorite band. No one comes even close to their masterpieces. What you said after the song ended made tears in my eyes. I am so happy for you.
Dude! You get it. YES fan for 50 years, 200 plus shows and still going. You are one of us now. Welcome to YESWORLD!!!
A musical experience that changed so many, including myself what modern, contemporary rock was like. The evolution of progressive rock! From the Fragile album and this one a fan forever more. This is the Mt. Rushmore of progressive rock!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️☮️☮️🎤🎼🎹🎸
Growing up in the 70's had its advantages! Seeing them twice during their prime was fantastic.
In the 80s there was a backlash against progressive rock. It’s great to see younger generations finding Yes an appreciating them for the great musicians they are.
Absolutely. As an aging Gen-X’er, I remember the vitriol heaped on Yes and Rush in the late 70’s and 80’s. They were absolutely hated by the music press and the mainstream. It is bizzare but satisfying to see so may positive reaction videos to these bands several decades later as a new generation discovers and appreciates their music without the stigma that used to be attached to progressive rock bands.
Its not popmusic.
More progressive jazzrock with classical influenses.
Many pop critics did not understand it.
@@karelvandervelden8819 Which is mind-boggling in many ways. Jazz used to BE the popular music.
@@dopaminecloud Maybe we should let loose the labels and just enjoy the artistc expression as is communicated. (or not)
Excellent reaction. Yes is like an impressionist painting. My favorite band of all time. You “get” it. Close to the Edge is at another level.
This album, and song, is often listed as the #1 prog piece of all time, and rightly so. In the world of prog rock, YES was like no one else...before them all, and no one topped them.
There were TWO bands that were miles ahead of everyone else in their time, The Beatles, and Yes.
Masterpiece. R.I.P. MR SQUIRE. Chris you are SO missed my friend.🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for getting to this Chod. The live version on Yessongs is even better. It's hard to believe that a band can pull this kind of music off live better but it's true. I'll be 65 the 3rd of next month. I saw Yes perform this live in Atlanta when I was 16. Stood at the stage in front of Steve Howe and was blown away. Their music still does the same to me today.
When I listen to the studio version, there are always a lot of moments when I think: something is missing now, isn't it?
I'm 62 and I still listen to Yes since 73.
Bill Bruford on drums after this album Alan White from the John Lennon band took over on drums for YES. Bruford is a jazz drummer playing jazz in a rock band. From YES Bruford moved to King Crimson Genesis And a solo career. He retired a few years back .
When you listen to a YES song, you are embarking on a musical journey. One of my favorite albums, start to finish, is Magnification
Magnification is so underrated. Their last truly great album. Dreamtime and In the Presence of... are latter-day masterpieces
Ah yes, or better yet, Ah Yes, such a criminally underrated album.
A tremendous tour also with a local orchestra playing with the guys in every city.
Long live the mighty Yes.
You have to listen to this song from the album "YESSONGS" (live album) too. I know I am "prejudiced". Yessongs was my first Yes album. That's why these live versions of the songs are "the original" for me. But despite the moderate sound quality and the lack of the effects possible in the studio: all the songs in the "Yessongs version" sound more clarified, rounder, more dynamic and more powerful. Many songs have also been further developed in terms of composition / arrangement. With "Close To The Edge" you notice that especially in the second half (after the spherical interlude)
None better, been on the Yes journey for almost 50 years and what a journey its been, thank you Yes!
You have a huge, beaming smile throughout this song - which is how Yes's music has affected me for 50 years!
First listen of CTTE is always amazing. You can remember sections that impressed you, but the totality of what those guys achieved is only fully appreciated upon subsequent listenings. YES packed so much into their Epics, you only notice how it all works together the more you listen to it. Which is one of the reasons I've loved YES; their music always remained so fresh for so long. Like you said, Chod, Close To The Edge was smack-in-your-face *_outrageous_* with respect to the raw *_audacity_* of what those musicians were actually attempting to do, but dammit, *_they nailed it._* So perfect was this composition on multiple levels, it's fair to describe it as a "religious experience" for those who have a deep appreciation of music. I can't imagine another Prog Group exceeding CTTE, cuz while many have been inspired by it--like RUSH--none have been able to match the overall mastery of CTTE. So far, the only band that has come close is...YES...:)
When I was at High School back in the early 70s, my mates and I used to take turns in discovering and sharing the latest epic prog rock bands. Yes was one of my earliest and I don't think I've discovered anything better since. They are literally a force of nature.
YES: The Calculus of Music.
So glad you've done "Close to the Edge"... This is Yes at its' best. Lyrically and musically. There are so many other Yes tunes that come close - but this one is their ultimate masterpiece. Just my opinion...
I first heard this when I was about 11 years old and it opened up a whole new world for me, well over 40 years later this music is a profound experience still, it's great musicianship, but other bands are great musicians, this music is genuinely inspired, its a new spiritual rock music, deeply creatiove and deeply moving. There is no modern pop/rock music better than this.
The mountain has been summit-ed .
You'll never be the same .
This is kind of a nice trend going on with young black Americans reacting to this song (and some more from this band) and really getting into it. Young folks getting into classic Yes? Oh HEEELLL YES! I'm loving it. This dude just smiling for most of the song. By all means enjoy your moment of "I get uuuuuuup, I get doooooooooown" for years to come. The lyrics do not make a whole lot of sense with Yes, but still they will get you very emotional. That has been their thing for ages, making some of the most overwhelming music of the rock era.
The real beauty and genius of this song, is that aspects of it will reveal for decades! It takes many listens to fully appreciate it, but then it keeps on giving as you listen more. If I'm forced to name a favorite of the scores, even hundreds, of songs that I love, this would be my favorite. Like you, I have two favorite bands, and though I love Led Zeppelin, my other favorite band is Radiohead. They have a similar level of talent, especially their lead guitarist/keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist/ arranger Jonny Greenwood, along with songwriter and lead singer, Thom Yorke. Keep going with Yes, but plan on checking out some Radiohead at some point. One suggestion I would make; take their songs in chronological order. Their sound and style evolved so much from album to album, that you will appreciate them much more if you hear their songs in order written. Thanks for listening and sharing this awesome work of art!
Peace from SF
Personally, if there was a contest, I'd vote for Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Yes as the top 3 creative, original, and talented rock music bands of the 20the century.
That smile that creased your face for the final, "I get up, I get down" just said everything. You got it. This song is based on the book Siddhartha, but you don't even need to know that to enjoy the beauty of this piece. You'd also enjoy Tales From Topographic Oceans, it's a double album, 4 song set that Jon Anderson said tongue-in-cheek was his version of putting the Bible to music, lol. As only he could.
Well, TFTO was both Jon Anderson and Steve Howe. But the cryptic lyrics are most definitely the eclectic Mr Anderson!! ✌💙
When I listen to CTTE I am worshipping The Lord. This song and Awaken are meditations to The higher plane. Only Yes does that for me. And they've been doing it since 1971.
This song on first hearing changed my musical life in 1976 and I am not surprised it is still doing it.
Yes were operating on a whole different level from anyone around at that time. They were reaching for the cosmos. They were reaching for the divine. With a level of musicianship and artistic genius rarely seen then or now. The seventies especially was a time of creative freedom and the sky was the limit for bands like Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP, etc. where record companies, for the most part allowed talented musicians to do what they did best, without much interference. A golden era of music that may take hundreds of years to come along again.
Ok, it's time to do SUPPERS READY by GENESIS. It is indescribably stellar and instrumentally staggering, stunning and beautiful.
Never has been equaled and never will be surpassed. The Prog Classic Masterpiece of Prog’s Classics.
You're honest, smart, very insightful and so to watch and listen to. Its a pure joy to listen to Yours insights. It resonates with me very deeply. I feel the same way about Yes. They are simply unmatched, musical phenomenon.
You're doing the entire "Close To The Edge" Can I just take a moment and thank the big guy upstairs....life feels real good today.
By Big Guy upstairs are you referring to Chris? Even though he's gone, that thundering bass still influences people.
Actually, Yes is far more funky that I ever noticed before... and Squire's bass is the bomb.
Reminds me of being in high school... When a friend and I first discovered Yes. Brings back some wonderful memories. Good job 👍
I quite simply never tire of listening to this, which to me is the mark of truly great music.
They could have been known as the Crescendo Kings. Masters of the slow build-up and the power crescendo. It became a trade-mark. Thank goodness there is at least Yessongs that has a good recorded performance. I'm so thankful to have seen them do this dozens of times. Not sure how they maintained the energy level needed to tour this material. Luckily, they were in their early 20s
The Song 'Music of the Spheres' by Argent will help you comprehend how such music is written.
Argent toured with Yes during the early 1970's.
You've reacted to one Argent song.
Rod Argent and Rick Wakeman became great friends.
Music of the Spheres is a Theory of Pythagoras.
Close to the Edge one of my favorite songs.
Heard it first in 1975 about the same time I discovered Argent which lead me to Yes. Blew My Mind.
I read somewhere that Yes was Sherman Hemsley's favorite band.
Far out man
Next up: Long Distance Runaround + The Fish. You will love Bruford's drumming and percussion and of course Squire's bass. Hell, it's all good, it's Yes.
live version is best
When you are “Yes” you can have as long an intro as you like, “Hell your Yes”, the offical industry handbook bit the dust. One has to ponder, nothing exceeds like excess.
In CTTE the band brought their A game. They are truly incredible. However, don't forget there was another presence in that studio that rarely gets mentioned. Next time you get that goose bumpy feeling for CTTE remember that the unheard piece of that sonic puzzle was a guy named Eddie Offord. Although rarely mentioned, a little research will reveal his strong contribution to the magic of YES. I'd compare him to what George Martin was to the Beatles.
And I would note that the pipe organ solo in the middle of this song was recorded at the massive pipe organ at Saint Giles Cathedral in downtown London. Yeow!
I really like this guy. He has described the brilliance of this piece of music so well and acknowledges in his wisdom that this sort of genius will never see the light of day again. I bought this album at the age of twenty when it came out in late 1972. I subsequently saw Yes perform the whole album in 1973 in it's entirety at the The Rainbow Theatre London. They then performed their new double Album Tales From Topographic Oceans (which was not yet released), in its entirety. Just like their performance of Close To The Edge it was note for note perfect. Such genius.
Glad you were floored ... again by YES. 100% correct about being unrivalled and will never be

You should always listen to the remastered versions, if available. Absolutely amazing! Especially with headphones.
You said it perfectly...YES music is like a NOVEL. It's unique. Jon Anderson is the main reason for that creativity....but YES was unlike any other prog band. The 'paint' description is perfect, guy.
That's the beauty of YES. They were like CLASSICAL music.
The remembering by YES will blow your mind also.🙏 blessings.
I remember listening for hours on end trying to decipher what the lyrics were, (Yes albums didn't have printed lyrics), and what the words I understood could possibly mean. Then 50 years later, I saw a short interview with Jon Anderson--in the seventies--saying, "Oh, I don't really think much about what the words mean, I'm more interested in how they sound"
in 1979 one of the first quad plex movie theaters in KC was having a midnight special with 2 theaters showing YESSONGS and two showing The Song Remains the Same. Both were packed. It was like a dream multiband concert and the atmosphere and reactions by the viewers was just as intense as if the bands were on stage.
Now try reacting to the other two masterpieces on this life changing album, And You And I, and Siberian Khatru!
Love the whole album of course but And You And I is SUCH a beautiful piece of music.
I think of my late wife every time I listen to And You And I!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for reacting to the greatest progressive rock song of all time. This is a musical masterpiece. I saw YES in 1972, at the Long Beach Auditorium. They played this whole album, from start to finish. I had been listening to this on cassette for several months. I couldn’t tell the difference. Favorite album of all time.
This, probably along with Supper's Ready, The Court of the Crimson King and Thick as a Brick, is the pinnacle of Progressive Rock. And of all four of them, this is the one closest to perfection.
Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth. Tormato should be your next Yes album with a song called Circus Of Heaven, Anderson wrote it for his son.
It seems to me that many younger people look at a 18 min 41 sec song and the first reaction is its too long, I do not have enough time to consider it. That is why its never on the radio. But when you listen to Close to the Edge it becomes a very short 18 mins 41 secs because it is a music masterpiece. When I first purchased this LP in the 70s my thoughts were; Great stuff, I am going on a long ride with my favorite band. But 18 mins 41 was way too short, I did not want it to end. We have the advantage to grow with Yes via their earlier LPs. I really like what you are doing by spreading the word on this great music, we cannot loose it. For full impact headphones are a must, no distractions, comfortable position, darkened room and eyes closed. The musical soundscape and mind pictures are a great journey that everyone should try at least once. You are right this type of music will not be done again and it cannot be forgotten ever. Look at that Yes line up, all so very talented and they played close to the Edge live in their concerts, note perfect too. Great reaction I look forward more videos.
Like any symphony, it took me a few listens to understand what I was hearing- but I loved it, actually couldn't believe it! Ok....now, do South Side of the Sky. :)
I still have the album and turntable I first played it on 45 years ago at age 15. Classic music and spiritually deep. I can always count on it keeping me from going over the edge in difficult times. Thanks for reacting to it!
As you say, takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions. Listen to CTTE with good headphones sitting in a beanbag with my eyes closed and I feel like Im flying, on some drug, and I do not want it to end..
that time, that opennesssssss made it possible. we can learn from that.
Chad, imagine you are a 13 or 14 year old teenager and this is your first major concert you are allowed to go to with friends. It is 1972 and you are sitting in the balcony with a couple of your friends. You may not smoke but everyone in the place is, joints are being passed back in forth of you first one way then the other.. You don't even need to indulge if you want to nor do you have much of a choice of not getting hi even if you do not want to. This is being played live. You are instantly transported, hi or not. I am seriously impressed with your analysis and wish to correct myself from a comment I made on a previous reaction of yours to a group called Renaissance. I suggested you start with a shorter song called Mother Russia and still believe you should do that along with many other shorter songs as well. You, sir are ready to jump right in to 2 of their longer pieces, both live from a concert they did at Carnegie Hall and both over 20 minutes. One is called Scheherazade and is broken into 3 movements like a concerto and tells the classic tale of this legendary woman and her relationship to the Sultan. The other is Ashes Are Burning . In both pieces you will go from symphonic concert hall, to a rock concert, to an intimate jazz club, back to the concert hall with rock thrown in and the most amazing female vocalist you have ever heard, along with an under rated bass player by the name of Jon Camp. The vocalists name is Annie Haslam. Whether you decide to react to this group or not, you owe it to yourself to take the journey and would love to know what you felt.
Again thank you for jumping into this epic and suspect The Gates of Delirium by Yes will be following shortly as it is inspired by Tolstoy's War and Peace. You analyze like very few. Peace and respect from an old fat hippie chic.
Man, I wish I saw YES in 1972, but I'm lucky that I saw them 'In the Round' in 1979. Amazing concert and here's hoping he reacts to Renaissance live at Carnegie Hall. I'm not sure if anyone has.
@@Lightmane I was fortunate enough to see that tour as well as a few others. I am also pretty certain you are 100 percent right on no one reacting to Renaissance live which imho is when they are at their best. I did my best to describe the places he will be transported to in his head as he listens to these two amazing pieces.
@@stephaniethurmer5370 hopefully he sees your comment
One of the best reactions on this song! Keep going with YES!!
