imagine listening to this for the first time, 50 years ago as a 14 year old, my first experience of YES ...I was hooked instantly
I heard roundabout when I was 14 for the first time. It was also the first time I smoked pot I’ve been a fan a huge fan ever since.
Me too!
You're all very lucky. I mean, the first time I listened probably was when I was about 14 or so, but it was in the early to mid 2000s, and I don't think it's the same.
@@LThunders138 Yes, I agree, the only exposure we had in 1970 was POP music radio and TV shows, there was no exposure to different genres of music like this... my older brother came home from a local concert one day in 1970 and handed me the Yes album and said, "here, what do you think of this"? The first few bars of yours is no disgrace just blew me away, I had never heard anything like it, and to this day it remains one of my favourite pieces of music , even my love of deep purple , pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin couldn't compete with this.
Ditto, about the same age. My older brothers stuck the headphones on me and forced me to listen to this.
Time to tackle "Close To The Edge" their signature track. You'll come out the other end a changed man.
Epic!
Yeah, I am surprised he has not heard it yet, and I think the time has just about arrived: TRUE INITIATION MUST COMMENCE!!!!!!!!
Close to the Edge on Yessongs, one of the greatest live jams 🎸 ever...
Close to the Edge is calling you. The crown will be worn. Yours is no disgrace.
If you listen to this on a really great pair of speakers, in an acoustically balanced room, it is sublime.
I think you're about ready for a side long epic now. Let's introduce you to the Close To The Edge album. It is widely considered the greatest progressive rock album ever made. React to the 18+ minute title track, and then "And You And I", and lastly "Siberia Khatru". All of it incredible.
Rolling Stone Magazine- June, 6th, 2016 -
“To my mind, Yes may be the single most important of all the progressive rock bands,” said Rush’s Geddy Lee, who calls Close to the Edge “among my favorite rock albums of all time.”
Close to the Edge - the title piece. Prepare for the penultimate of progressive art rock music.
I agree- he should listen to all 3 songs
Personally I like 'Fragile' better. But it is a nice album, too. I messed up. Actually, I was thinking of 'The Yes Album', not Fragile.
Personally I like the live version of CTTE much better.
Close to the Edge, or Gates of Delirum soon, their two masterpieces. Great reaction.
Agreed, except I put _Awaken_ at the top. My favorite piece of music of any genre.
However, in general, my fave is the song I'm currently listening to ;-)
A good track by yes is Simon and Garfunkel America cover. Roy from the UK 67 year old progressive rock lover. Stay safe
It's an excellent piece.
The late Chris Squires bass is really awesome on this song ...underrated in my opinion .I had the privilege of seeing them live in Houston Tx. Unforgettable show and yes Rick Wakeman was on keyboards.unbeleivable musician.
Voices, lyrics, 4 unbelievable musicians, production, harmony. Best prog rock band ever. You can't beat it. Huge impact on my life for 50 years.
All masters at their instruments and masterful innovators and songwriters: Squire bass, Bruford drums, Kaye keyboards (Wakeman would appear the next album), Howe guitar, Anderson vocals. Pure genius.
I was 12 years old. I'd won a scholarship to a boarding school and had been there just over a year. I knew very little about the current music scene - when I overheard two pupils lamenting the death of Jimi Hendrix and arguing about who would now be the greatest guitarist in the world, I couldn't work out why neither of them mentioned Hank Marvin - and we weren't allowed 'record players' at school.
But I had one at home, and a fellow pupil, to whom I have always been and will be grateful, loaned me four LPs to take home on one of the three weekends per term when I could go home for the day. _Deep Purple in rock, Tarkus, Led Zeppelin II,_ and _The Yes Album._ I often try and fail to recapture the experience of listening to those four LPs, in my bedroom, on a shitty record player. I know it happened, but all I remember is going back to school and knowing that everything had changed.
This is actuallly a anti-Vietnam war song: 'Lost in losing circumstances, that's just where you are....'
Howe's doped-out brain operating on auto pilot is a more plausible explanation for that line
@@SP-qi8ur but howe didn’t write the words?
What's immediately different about this to the blues-rock scene is that it's both quite clean (Steve Howe's semi-acoustic could almost be mistaken for a keyboard line) and also very structured. All the band members had input into how the final piece was developed, compositionally. As drummer Bill Bruford later explained, 'Yes were democratic to a fault! We'd argue over whether the next note was B Flat or B Natural'.
Hey Chod!! Wow so glad your enjoying your listening to MY FAVORITE BAND!! It's Michael here the retired chef from Phoenix AZ!! I had to chime in after watching a little while ago when you mentioned one of your favorite bass players- WAYMAN TISDALE!!! R.I.P. MY BROTHER!! We all know him very well in this wonderful city of Phoenix!! He was one of the most loved players of our Phoenix Suns!! What a great human being!!! And yes a Great Bassist himself for sure!!! He was so much fun to watch play!! He could slam a basketball and make look as smooth as his bass playing!!! Went to the comments and had myself a giggle because we're all cheering you on to delve into the one and only PROG- MASTERPIECE THAT IS- CLOSE TO THE EDGE!! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MIND!! AND THEN YOU MUST FOLLOW IT UP WITH- RELAYER!!! THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TO THERAPY TO RECOVER FOR A FEW WEEKS!!! LOL!! So you mentioned how you liked HARMONIES!! Ive got a request for the BEST 3- PIECE FEMALE HARMONIES ON THE PLANET IMHO!! They are called- THE WAILIN JENNYS!! FROM CANADA!! SONG #1- ONE VOICE LIVE VERSION ON (ETOWN) SONG #2- ASLEEP AT LAST!! There you go my friend!! Have a great night and see ya soon!! Your #1Az fan Michael😊😊😊
One of the goats is Yes! Amazing musicians who will NEVER, NEVER be emulated or duplicated!
I only knew a couple of songs from Yes before watching your reaction. Now I know more and I'm liking them.
You do know this song is 50 years old! Imagine seeing this done live! I do believe you are ready for Close to the Edge and then continue on to You and I then Siberian Khatru! Once you do those 3 songs then we will talk about the next album!
seen them in 73 and,
they played this song
and YES! a great concert!
@@dynosmith4096 I also saw them in 73 and they did virtually the whole Yessongs album. One of the best shows ever.
My first introduction to Yes was Close to the Edge in 1972 and it blew me away, I've been in love with their music ever since.
One of the all time great compositions by any band in history - the guitarist Steve Howe is not human. All the musicians in the band are top notch.
I was 9 years old when this album came out, and I remember hearing this song for the 1st time and it still been my favorite Yes song over all the Yes albums that have come out. And it's still my favorite Yes song after all these years. They are like Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rush, Kansas their music is timeless, still sounds fresh & alive. You can't say that about any bands of this current era, don't get me wrong there are plenty of rock bands out there great bands, it's just different now, these type of bands, Yes, Zeppelin, Rush, Kansas, ELP, we just won't see that again in our lifetimes. We lived in a time of musical "Giants".
Yes you did It..
I'm so happy you are enjoying your journey with Yes. Probably my top band of all time. Although truthfully, my tip band rotates between Yes, Genesis and King Crimson depending on my mood.
Yes suggestions:
Close to the Edge
Awaken
The Gates of Delerium
Sound Chaser
South Side of the Sky
Long Distance Runaround/The Fish
Siberia Khatru
Aww, who am I kidding, there are way too many other good ones, I can't list all my favorites.
The above are all Yes originals. They do some awesome covers. You have already listened to Something's Coming, here are some more Yes covers to try.
America
Every Little Thing
No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed
I See You
Everydays
Anybody remember those send in a quarter and receive 12 albums for joining a record club..?
Yes was my 1st choice.
Indeed I do. Columbia records, maybe?? It's how I discovered a lot of bands at the time. Savoy Brown and Procol Harum come to mind.
Been there, done that! LOL
@@MilosDaddy I went RCA but later found Columbia was better but I know when I joined I got like BTO 3 DOG NIGHT STEPPENWOLF DAVID BOWIE QUEEN ROD STEWART NELSON can''t remember the rest. but like I said later come to find out Columbia had a better selection so eventually joined that one, that's when I really started picking up the good stuff
My check to Columbia for a quarter bounced.
Me I remember!
I'm 60 years old that's why.
It's one of ways I built an album/CD collection in both the early 1970s and later on in the early 1990s.
"Survival" from the first album would be a nice one. :) It introduces some of the key elements of Yes already there, in the early phase of the band.
I here ya. 60 year old ProgRock Musician here.
I had a similar experience with a song that I'd like to share.
Band: Argent
Album: Nexus
Song: Music of the Spheres
I heard this song when I was 15.
It changed my life and inspired me to become a ProgRocker.
If you haven't heard it, I'd be interested in your thoughts.
It's on RUclips.
Please react to "And You and I", "Siberian Khatru" and "Turn of the Century"
I second that
Swap in Close to the Edge and it's a full album review.
YES!!!! (pun intended) plus, of course, CTTE......
For all these people suggesting Close to the Edge, I'd go one better and suggest Close to the Edge, live from Yessongs
You are ready for Close To The Edge, Grasshopper... All 3 pieces, CTTE, And You and I and Siberian Khatru...
"Ladies and gentlemen! Please meet our new guitarist, Mr Steve Howe!!" I mean, what an opening track for THE (first true) Yes Album (pun intended)! As a Yes fan since 1974, this group introduced me to the world of progressive rock. Because of Yes, my favorite group, Rush, was able to find an audience after Neil Peart joined.
"Yours Is No Disgrace" is the first GREAT Yes tune. Another great tune here is "Perpetual Change."
Back in 1983, when I first heard "Owner of a Lonely Heart." Did I think it was a great Yes song? No! What I liked about it was the return of THE voice of Yes, Jon Anderson. He left the band after the Tormato Tour along with Rick Wakeman. Many of us thought that Yes was dead. Granted, Drama (1980) was/is a fantastic album, IMO, and kept Yes alive. For 3 outstanding tracks from it: "Machine Messiah," "Into The Lens," and "Tempus Fugit." The vocals are handled by Trevor Horn. I saw Yes on that tour in San Diego and Horn struggled with the other Yes songs, especially "Heart of the Sunrise." Still, Drama is the last GREAT Yes album. 💚💚💚💚💚
Haha, I left Machine Messiah off my list of Yes suggestions. How could I do that??? Lol.
Into the Lens and Tempus Fugit are my two other favs from Drama.
My favorite from Drama was "Does it Really Happen?" IMHO that song was the closest to vintage Yes from the Drama album.
I agree drama is a great album .
Saw them three times...first time was Close to the Edge tour. Like their music or not, hard to find many groups where every single member is as talented and accomplished as Yes...like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and a very few others!
Chris Squire the bassist, played a Rickenbacker bass with Roto-Sound strings and played that through two amps… one was more treble and the other amp was more bass. A totally unique and until then unheard of sound!
You gotta take on Yes's "Long Distance Runaround." Easily one of their best and most revered songs.
Might I say that I really love seeing you Young Turks embrace this wonderful music...and keep it alive.
This is the first song I heard in 1971...live where Yes totally upstaged the band they were backing (forget who it was...thats how much Yes upstaged them). I became an instant Yes Head. Goodbye 1-4-5 rock with a bridge...which is still cool...but Yes (and ELP and the Moody Blues and Tull) took music to another plane of existence.
Thanks, Chod--- I've been asking for you to react to this one ever since you started covering Yes.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well we're waiting for Close to the Edge, but if you want to try something a bit less epic (and CTTE is very epic) try Sound Chaser, from Relayer.
music to my ears, those are my favorite 2 rock albums ever, by any band
Sound chaser is indeed a lovely song and I agree he should hear it!!!!! Actually, it is my favorite song on that album.......
Just so long as its Steve Wilsons remix. The first mix was shrill, squealy, squeaky and smeared. Not anymore. Its their best work.
Great to see young people can still enjoy and appreciate the music these lads produced decades ago. I first saw Yes in January 1971 at the Newcastle City Hall when I was 17. They did all, or most of The Yes Album, plus one or two other songs from their previous two albums, and they stole the show being 2nd on the bill of three acts. The album was released the following month, so I was down the record shop to buy it as soon as I could. It is also great to hear a proper musician put into words what I thought & felt when I was appreciating Yes recordings.
You haven't reacted to Close to the Edge yet? Surprised. I thought you did. Well...that would be a great reaction. It is long, but well worth it.
Better to get used to their amazing music, before listening to Close to the Edge. CttE is a LOT to take in 🙂
Thank you for this reaction, I think this particular Yes song is indicative of everything that was to come in their next few albums, covering their most ambitious and creative period
My understanding is this was written for vets returning home from Vietnam and the negative reaction they received from their home countries for their service. Men and women serving everywhere, Yours Is No Disgrace. Stay strong and thank you. Great tune, thanks for doing it.
Close to the Edge is essential...one of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded....

You will FLIP for the live versions of their classic material as found on the album "Yessongs" as well as the film made from it. Any live performance from the early-to-mid 70s of theirs is pretty much MAGIC! Close to the Edge ESPECIALLY might require a bullet proof vest--it's KILLER!
In an 18 month period, they come out with this album, then Fragile, then Close to The Edge, a trifecta masterpiece, outside of pink Floyd, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, you can't name many groups that have produced a string of music on this level consistently.
Harmonies were fundamentally between Jon Anderson (who sounds almost identical to this 50 years on) and the later Chris Squire on bass guitar, with the lower voice often supplied by Steve Howe. Sometimes they're laying down quite complex elements of the song as they go.
Prog on brother
I began listening to Yes in 1971 ...they were always "My" band....and fortunately had the chance to see them during the "Going for the One" tour....and thus, I truly enjoy seeing you and others discover the gold mine..... some day treat yourself to "the Gates Of Delirium."
NOW...I wholly concur with Kevin Marsh's statement below..."The Barbarian" by ELP should be on your Must list....as with "Trilogy"..."Take a Pebble"...etc..etc...etc.... Also...another plug for Brand X "Nuclear Burn" ..... Keep having FUN!!!!
One of my favorite YES songs. Love it. You should do 'And You and I'.
Props for referencing Wayman Tisdale. Cool. I remember him playing basketball. Good reference.
Steve Howe played with little distortion. His main guitar was a Gibson ES-175. At 9:45 he strums behind the bridge to get that chirping sound.
the goat question has been asked many times and and each of those times ,surveys had many different results . A classical musician once said that it was the Renaissance of modern rock, classical, jazz, folk, fusion music . One may pick one artist, song as the goat until they hear the next of the era
God I love this band..Starship Trooper should be next on your listen list
It really is time for Close To The Edge.
You haven't even heard their many MASTERPIECES yet. This song from YESSONGS is even magnitudes beyond the recorded. I agree I love the guitar in this song, I have been learning,
and playing this on guitar for 45 years. You might as well just do "Close To The Edge" and find out just how incredible they are. Then "Sound Chaser" and "Gates Of Delirium" for percussion
I think you are ready to hear another Masterpiece from Yes....I request you to react to "South Side of the Sky" by Yes.
YES
Yes - Heart of the Sunrise...another epic song by them
Watch a live performance from the last 70's. You'll see how good they are.
I can't here this enough, and it's even nice to see you enjoy this Yes classic!!
YES, is the best , most creative, most sophisticated musicianship EVER, NO competition; must understand musical TIME Signatures to understand Yes and their complexity
You obviously like Yes a lot. I would like to recommend "The Barbarian" by Emerson Lake & Palmer. This is the first song on their first album, and I think you will be blown away. These two groups blew my mind in the early 70s, and I still love them. I also think they had two of the best drummers and organists in rock. I've spent more than 20 years building, tuning and repairing pipe organs, and I believe Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson are the best rock organists ever.
ELP and Yes. The two groups that got me into progressive rock. Emerson and Wakeman, the top two progressive keyboardists. Of course on this track it is Tony Kaye on keyboards, this is the last Yes album he was on before being replaced by Wakeman.
Emerson could do things with a Hammond organ that nobody before or since could do. In rock bands it is usually the lead guitarist who is the "showman", with stage presence and moves to keep the audiences attention. In their early days (and when he was with The Nice), Emerson was the showman. Rondo live in Zurich 1974 is a must see (and listen). You will be blown away.
@@cybore213 With Yes the "showman" is also not the lead guitarist its unquestionably Chris Squire the greatest Rock, not just prog, I mean Rock Bassist the only technical exception is Entwistle of The Who. Chris also had a great voice aside of making the bass a lead and at around 1980 when Jon Anderson left the band he was contemplating taking on lead vocals he was more than capable of leading Yes completely, in fact like many Yes fans wish he had taken the role. Stage presence of the highest order, showman and musicianship Emerson could never achieve.
@@78yestor93 "technical exception is Entwistle" key word being "technical."
Chris has impeccable technique, but it's his amazing creativity that makes him the greatest.
So much "prog" today seems to be focused on technique, speed, and other games.
Chris was pure "WTF?!" did he just play? Lemme listen to that again. And again...
Fast, slow, simple, complex, expected, unexpected... whatever a song needed.
The walking bass line here is just sooo perfect.
@@cybore213 Broadly, I've always thought of Yes music as rock through a classical prism. ELP was classical through a rock prism. And in both, the result was greater than the sum of the parts.
Glad you gave a shout to Wayman Tisdale for you could never meet a nicer guy who woke up smiling and went to bed smiling. He lived a few blocks from me in Tulsa when he was in the music business and I knew of him from his high school days on the basketball court. The man died way too early and I mean this sincerely.
I saw YES at the Richfield Coliseum. Who knows when, they played Roundabout. Nobody left. They turned on the house lights and no one left.
Nice! This one is a long time favorite of mine.
Please consider checking out the Yes 'cover' of Paul Simon's song America. And maybe do the original first as JustJP did a few months back, it turned out to be a pretty cool idea.
There are couple of good live versions of Yes playing America on the internet.
Just listened with head set--a must since this is not nearly as well-recorded as Fragile and Close to the Edge. Has Wilburn listened to CTTE (the song) yet? I do not recall that he has. Have we been grooming him for it? It, along with TFTO is, I believe, the Ultimate Yes Test, which I suspect he will pass with FLYING RAINBOW COLORS!!!!!
OK, now a personal YESSTORY: In 1977 I was commuting to Santa Clara University from my home about 20 mile north of there. On the way home I would put on "Close to the Edge" at close to full volume with Power Boost on 4 speakers just as I got on the freeway mid afternoon at a glorious time in history when Silicone Valley barely existed and there were still apricot orchards all around. Ripping along at maybe 75 mph (speed limit was 55) I would groove on the tune while enjoying the near empty freeway lanes and still bucolic California scenery, and usually the song would end just as I was deaccelerating toward exit and the woods in which we lived...................
Would love to hear others' YESSTORIES!!!!!!
"Lost in losing circumstances...that's just where you are" .....don't resist the "is"
Kudos to you. Yes has somehow been forgotten about over time. In the 1970’s I grew up with this.
The top 3 Mega Superstar bands above all others were Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Yes.
The guitarist for Yes is Steve Howe. Amongst the very best of true pure musician guitar players, Steve Howe is considered a genius. On Keyboards you had Rick Wakeman who arguably shares the title equally as the very best ever at keyboards with Keith Emerson of ELP.
Your ears have not led you astray. Yes is legit.
I’ve always said when real musicians get off work, they listen to Steely Dan. Well, many of those nights they put on Yes as well.
Great stuff, too. I enjoy your enthusiastic and learned, but humble, analyses.
My very first Yessong and it had an everlasting impact
Love the duck quacking guitars 🎸 at the beginning 😃😅😊
Steve Howe and Chris Squire really shine here.
YES! Heart of the Sunrise or Wonderous Stories should make your playlist. What a band.
It’s great to see a young whippersnapper like you enjoying this music!
This was the very first album I ever owned... it was given to me when I was about six or seven years old and I've had a copy ever since. I'm 53 now.
Saw them in '72, this was the finale of the night, worth every brain cell I fried that evening ;-)
You get it !Yes patterns most of their harmony after Beach Boys! give him a cigar!
We were so lucky to grow up with this wondeful music.
My introduction to Prog.Rock was “Roundabout” in 1972,but I knew back then that this was better.
YES were at the crest of the progressive rock movement.They wanted to take an orchestral approach with a full, organic sound. They achieved the pinnacle of epic arrangement and orchestration with their masterpiece Close to the Edge in 1972. Zeppelin were not identified as progressive, but they WERE kind of 'prog on the sly'...fooling us into thinking they were just roots rock, Lol...but Zep were never as deep into it as King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant or ELP.
Yes and Led Zeppelin. Two of the best bands ever!!!
Bruford on drums always had his own signature vibe, groove, tricks and style ! but I LOVE HOW IT ROCKETS into the 5th dimension from out of nowhere just within the first 20 seconds LOLOLOL!!! I glad you spotlighted that sweet guitar lick being so incredible! Anyway what a wicked song that brings so many things to the table. It's always a buffet with so many flavors and spices added
I was gifted a Gold Album of this album..Hanging proudly in my recording studio....R.I.P Chris
I like Chris Squire's tone on that Rick 4001 even better than the GOAT, John Entwistle.
Great to see you finding out about Progressive Rock with Yes and other bands. The next song of theirs you should listen to is SIBERIAN KHATRU from the CLOSE TO THE EDGE album and then the title track from that album CLOSE TO THE EDGE itself, probably their most epic track.
When I was about 16 I talked the drum tech into letting me hang out in the front row. Then as a 40 something fan I I got to meet Jon Anderson. He sang to me while taking a photo and then I cried tears of joy. When I was 2. I used to take my dads records and play them on my little tiny kid turn table. Yes album “fragile “ was one of those albums. Thanks dad for the music.
THEY WERE COMING!! We lined up every day waiting for the ticket release....JETHRO TULL!! 3rd ROW!!....Oh my gawd we were HIGH...And who was this new lead group??? Yes?? .... played this straight outa the box....as we said back then....mind blown!! 1972 was a cool year
Saw them live in 72’ ! I was just reflecting on how easy it was to snake through to the front. I was only 15 and people thought, “let the young pup through”.
Singer Ian Anderson co-wrote a track which became a huge hit for Donna Summer “State Of independence”
shining flying purple wolfhound, show me where you are
I have no idea what it means but it's one of my favorite lyrics ever
I'm a huge Yes fan, but this is a new song for me... one of the cool things is when we both get to hear a song for the first time together😁
Oh shi*t they got a lil funky towards the end!!! Niiiiiiiice 😁
This album is my favorite of theirs. Amazing from beginning to end!
Thank you so much for doing this one!
Wore this out on 8 track. LOL
Saw these guys live 5 times in the 70's---awesome shows. Steve Howe is my favorite guitarist. Chris Squire---what an amazing bass player.
Yes Close to the Edge, Pink Floyd Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Genesis Firth of Fifth, Emerson, Lake and Palmer Tarkus, King Crimson Court of the Crimson King
There are so many great Yes songs. My recommendations for your next listen: Siberian Khatru, And You and I and Perpetual Change. And of course Close to the Edge and Awaken are musts.
So. I've got to mention Band Geek. This is the "younger half" of the band Blue Oyster Cult - doing what they love in their spare time. YT search for "Close To The Edge - A Band Geek Yes Cover with Chris Clark" (Wilbur, can't listen just yet). Guys - just read the comments to that work.
Another YES classic ! 👍💯
The first Yes tune I ever heard at a concert in 1971 where they opened for Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath. Still my favorite Yes song.
It does my heart good to see someone from your generation appreciate Yes's music. I was lucky enough to be in my late teens and early 20's when I got turned on to their music .
Fun to see your appreciation of Yes! Like other folks below, I would like to see you take on some of their longer works. Besides the many already mentioned, please consider Awaken. The studio version is amazing, but there's also a live version with a symphony orchestra. You should check both even if you don't want to react to them. Love your channel!
Stevie Howe won, as voted on by guitar world magazine readers, best guitarist five years running in the late 80’s. Then GWM started their HOF so other guitarist would have a shot at the title.
Geddy Lee said of Chris Squire, “it was Chris’s base line on a particular song that made him want to learn to play a Rickenbacher base.
Wakeman is Wakeman.
White or brufford the drums are in good hands.
Jon Anderson’s high tenor has more power than any contemporary in the same range, falsetto or not.
25 years ago they occupied, full time, one slot in my ten disc changer, along with Hendrix, Sinatra, Elton, Clapton, God music, the other four depended on my mood.
It's a joy doubled to see your repertoire expand .
YES is the best of the best! You need to react to Jethro Tull, Songs From The Wood, Hunting Girl,Thick As a Brick,Locomotive Btreath,Life’s a Long Song, Cross Eyed Mary, And many more!
Great song! Great album! Great channel! You listen to YES the way it was meant to be, in its entirety with no interruptions!
You've really got to do this song and whatever other song from yes you wanna play from yes songs. The live recording. I saw yes in 1974 or 5 I can't remember in the round and it was life changing . And the yes songs album is so far ahead of its time when it came out.
The next great album by Yes that you should react to is Going for the One. Any song is great such as the title track Going for the One, Turn of the Century, Parallels, Wondrous Stories but Awaken is a masterwork. If you listen to only one Yes song off this album let it be it...
Awaken is a spiritual journey. As close as you can get to a perfect song
💯
You have to react to several songs from Going For The One (1977), it's time to get your mind blown. Awaken, Turn Of The Century, Wonderous Stories. Do it!
He needs to learn to walk before he can run. Going .... and Relayer are my favourite Yes albums, but they come after the earlier classics to react to.
