One of the greatest group of musicians ever assembled.
We are privileged to be able
to hear the magic that they created
Saw them, on the Tales UK tour 4 times, in 1973.
They played all 4 sides ……heaven……
YES❣️❣️❣️The greatest band on this or any other planet❗️❗️❗️🛸🛸🛸🚀🚀🚀🪐🪐🪐⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥🔥🔥👍😎
I'm 68! Still listening to this Art full music. So many feelings are contained in this masterpiece.
I'm 63. Been listening to Yes almost daily since I was 13. 😃
Topographic Oceans tour at Newcastle City Hall was my first ever concert, followed a few weeks later by Lamb Lies Down tour at the same venue. What an introduction to live music.
Tales was my 1st "real" concert too. Probably still the best show I've ever seen. Even though I've seen Yes multiple times since then. I learned that night what the difference was from professional musicians and mere mortals.
Agree totally. What a blessing
I saw both of them concerts Yes & The Genesis, Lambs lie down. And both concerts were brilliant!!
You fucking lucky man, you are. Share your memories on social media so it won't be forgotten!
Saw one of these concerts at The Rainbow in London..complete Close to the Edge album followed by Tales...unbelievable!
These guys were so far ahead of EVERYONE else, nobody ever caught them. Some of the most brilliant musicians of the the 20th Century. And You and I was always absolutely EPIC , but this version...Holy Shit. When they had the subs going on it, the heaviest sounds I have ever heard and I saw hundreds of bands.
Superb. The final section of The Remembering absolutely blazes - they were SO fabulous live.
February 26, 1974 Boston Garden, first of many Yes concerts. Power failure on stage, long delay before Firebird Suite. Excellent show. Then again, they were always excellent live.
Un monument ce groupe ❤❤❤❤❤
Chris Squire, the best lead bass I ever heard. You are missed.
I went to this concert in London at the Rainbow, and it was brilliant, they played both my favourite albums “ Close to the Edge & Topographic Oceans . What more could you ask for !!!
On 2/16/74 @ the Spectrum Philly PA and only my 13th Concert Ever, I witnessed my 1st & the absolute BEST of 10 YES Show and I got the whole TALES / CTTE Experience. Plus, No Opening Band, just YES All Night. PS: Also in '74, I got YES Again for there RELAYER Show @ MSG, NYC on 11/20/74 plus an added bonus, I get Rick doing his JOURNEY/SIX WIFES Masterpiece also @ MSG on 10/14/74. Making the Year '1974 "The Year of YES" at there Absolute BEST. The year they become SUPERSTAR. Ranking up there w/ Led Zeppelin and the WHO. The Holy Trinity of Classic Live Rock Music. And I saw all 3 during the 1st year of my Concert journey which started on 4/21/73 @ the age of 16!!
It´s incredible these guys can perform all this advanced, intricate and wonderful music spotless on by heart..! GENIUSES...
I just got home from watching our symphony perform with an extraordinary Chinese pianist Rachmaninoff Piano concerto # 3. It was great! 45 years after watching this YES show 3 nights in a row (2 in Chicago 1 in St Louis) Those YES shows and others are still the most powerful musical experience I have ever known even after hundreds of shows. In their time, the greatest band on Earth!
Put simply YES!!
I saw them 6 or 7 times. My favorite period was from Fragile to Relayer. Although I love Yessongs this post is wonderful!
@@billkalivas9750 I agree but I would have to include GFTO.
@@evelynbell5288
After listening to Ritual live this is amazing, the improvisations of this live version at astounding!! Genius musicians
I still can't listen to The remebering without tears. It is such a beautiful perfect piece of music, I know it's an odd comparison, but I get a similar feeling as I do from Beethoven's 7th.
OMG me too. To me this album is Yes' masterwork. I will never forget taking the first record out of it's album jacket and putting it on my stereo back in the day. I was star struck.
Neither can I. I saw them today 46 years ago. 2 weeks later my mom died so yeah, it has a ton of meaning for me.
TFTO has been criticized for years as over indulgent, pretentious, unfocused, etc. While there are a few parts that could have been reduced, there is so much beautiful, transcendent, brilliant music, it's Yes at their best. Saw them in New Haven CT on this tour. Wish I could go back in time to see it again. I will always thank the gods for Yes!
Blow the nay sayers.
Tales was there first album to reach No. in the UK album charts, No 6 in the US.
What happened with Yes music in the 1970s was ground braking, leaving us with musical compositions that will be heard for 1000s of years to come.
@@Atom-56
There are always people who can't just listen for themselves and have to rely on the prejudices spread by the so-called music press.
Tales is absolutely brilliant.
I love Tales as does take you on a spiritual journey. I was 18 when I saw them play Close to the. Edge and Tales in their entirety. Columbia SC, the love drug, and riding the train for fun. I saw that done at Symphony Hall in Atlanta without Anderson, Squire, or Wakeman. It just wasn’t the same.
I fell in love with Ritual when I first heard it and 44 years later I love it even more,Can easily bring tears to my Eyes.Love Alan Whites drumming especially on the live versions
Would of given my left nut to have been there, maybe both, ouch.Amazing performances and!!!!A.W. St.Pete.Fla.
Evelyn Bell Alan White is truly underrated. He came into the group at just the right time
@@peterrawai4062 RIP .
2:44:40 Some of Steve's best work. Truly, a remarkable, there's no one like him.
Saw them the second night at the garden in NYC awesome show
This was my very first concert that I attended, at Anaheim Stadium. Yes, Frampton, Gentle Giant and Gary Wright. Yes was the headliner and finished the evening. It was a very long day. Round About was the encore, thus ending the night. First time ever and only time that I witnessed concrete sway/bounce underneath an overly enthusiastic audience in the second and third tiers for any song. The stadium lights were switched on at that point. Ha! I thought I was in the middle of catastrophe waiting. Quite a sight to see! Just like your first love, etc. Thx for the memory
Back when Yes was unlike any other band on the planet. They were magic ...
I really hope the band seriously think of releasing whatever achieved material of TALES OF TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS Live its a masterpiece. I never got to see YES til 2003 .Please get all soundboards put them in a box like UNION tour Fragile/Close to the edge . Thanks

I haven't listened to Tales in a long time. It's beautiful music, some of the best Yes ever did. I'm grateful to whoever posted this. I've longed for a live Tales. It sucks this isn't available on cd.
TFTO is One of the most beautiful albums of Yes, It's too experimental and melodic sometimes, idk why this album is too hated by the prog fans
Juan,
Love Tales but I still think it's too long.
It should be released , also the Relayer tour
@@willyvlyminck201 Someone posted the full concert video of a show during the relayer tour; yes it is the entire show and not just snippets.
Find someone who has an Alesis Masterlink and have him load it in one song at a time-then create a cd.
The Remembering is my favorite track from Tales, and this is the first time I've heard it live! This is so exciting!
I remember when I first heard this album I hated it except for side 4, Ritual. Actually took me years to try sides 1 2 and 3 again in depth...love the album! My favorite is now The Remembering...the ending blows me away. YES is one of those groups that you have to go back to material you didn't like as much...gotta love some YES.
Cha Cha Cha...Cha Cha
Cha Cha Cha...Cha Cha
Cha Cha Cha...Cha Cha
Cha Cha Chaaaaaaaaa...
Need to drive for three hours? These long songs will make the miles roll by. I know, I've done it. Especially if you start your drive pre-dawn. I play it twice, Los Angeles to San Francisco.
Steve Howe was an incredible guitarist. He's always in my top 10.
So much better than "Heat of the Moment"....!
what I am loving is hearing how much he varied his parts over different performances...he really did not stick to a note by note approach but would improvise within the context of the music and themes. Brilliant artist and creator, way beyond simply a skillful guitarist.
"Was" ? As of September 2020 he still "is" and still plays?
@@SearchBucket2 45 years ago Steve was the best of his time. Not now
Amo a yes, cresi con ellos,sigo su misma filosofia,la mejor y mas grande banda del rock sinfonico de todos los tiempos,Om Shanti!🙏🎼🎹🎸👍
I saw this tour in St. Louis Missouri at the Keil Auditorium on November 17-1974. Simply amazing and profoundly amazing.
I was in 3rd grade when Topographic Oceans came out. We had a half hour lunch break. I would come home and listen to one side of Tales from Topographic Oceans, for the entire school year. Most astonishing piece of music. The compositional value is incredible.
The most wonderful music ever composed or played
I SAW both of the shows, day and evening, in Philadelphia!

No need to thank the lord... we all know the actual story and no god was there..., especially yours. These songs are not about what you think, and certainly not your god.
agreed, god has nothing to do with this kind or artistry. there is no god anywhere in any religion, let alone one who controls things! look at this world and tell me where god is doing his share. Leave it real musical artists to take us to bliss and love and peace!!!! @@morbidmanmusic
@@morbidmanmusiclook up "jon anderson computer god"
Always wondered if they ever played The Remembering live and just assumed they never did. When I saw them in '74, they played sides 1,3 & 4. Wasn't disappointed, just that side 2 was my favorite.....hearing this brought tears to my eyes. THANK YOU!!! Michael J
I agree. The Remembering was my favorite, and it was disappointing that the band never seemed to want to perform that one.
Saw them do all four song (Straight Through) 2/16/74 @ the "Spectrum" Phila. PA (Night Show) and Again 2/18/74 @ MSG NY, NY. I got no "Starship Trooper" Though. That was the Sub Song for "The Remembering"!
I was really disappointed! I thought The Remembering was one of their great masterpieces. I like to belive it kinda morphed into Awaken.
@@markmichalko3913
@@Magnetron33
Way way superior to Awaken, though...
My favorite album! I never imagined they would play the all four movements in tour ... fantastic ... were all brilliant ... Steve, Anderson, Wakeman, Chris and Allan ... perfect.
my favorite of all times, too. But it was met with criticism, too, even among the fans, and when they began to tour, only few people have already bought it. Too much new music to take and, after a while along the tour, they dropped The Remembering...
This music stands apart from ANYTHING else ever existed(ok, some classical bits, some Howe Rockabilly). But in my view, their stature grows and grows mightily by the passing years. Some don't like Jon Anderson's often totally random lyrics, but it doesn't matter much, the melodies are
so beautiful and unique. Also, my own take: a lot of the time Yes seems to sing and play music that sounds like a time way past or in a parallel universe where today's human problems and sufferings have been mainly overcome, and the focus now is to keep raising vibrations till everything is one again. Well, my own silly take on how a lot of Yes music raises me up.
The thing is, Yes always had melodies lurking about,, and Topographic although very dense with stacked rhythms, harmonies, and anything else that could be crushed into one second of musical space, never lacked memorable and truly beautiful melodies.
@@fandru5538Tales was their first Album to reach No. 1 in the UK album charts.
They did the Tales tour in the UK, before the album was even released!
It reached No 6, in the Bill Board Album chart in the US.
I guess more people liked it, than those that didn’t.
The original footnotes on the Tales album about the 4 Sutras and the mention of Paramahansa's Autobiography led me to investigate that book and become part of my spiritual journey..Remebering is my favourite
I saw the show at the Civic arena in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Truely a superb show. The first of eight shows that I saw throughout their career.
I mean of course THE ANCIENT !! AHHHHHHH amazing live playing !!
My 1st Yes Bootleg was Detroit 28th 1974. A 2 LP Set, included: Sides 1 and 3, of Topographic, Close To The Edge, Starship Trooper & Roundabout. From Goldmine Magazine, I wrote to The Seller afterI Played the Album. Never Answered me. My 1st Yes Experience was the Relayer Tour: Philadelphia late 74.
Their two best albums live in their entirety! They didn't play The Remebering many times for some reason, its my favourite part of Tales!! so beautiful!! I don;t care what anyone says, Tales is a masterpeice, I don;t like Rutual much, except for the 2nd half, but what the hell, they were so ambitious!!
@jedzxor Thanks for uploading THIS! TFTO if definitely my favourite Yes work. For sure some people have been making great music in these 50 years, but no matter what they have done Tales went ahead of our times by far.
This recording brings back a more natural performance of the band, and it is quite acceptable for Yes fans -like myself-, but it would be a helluva treat to hear this compilation after some remastering basically to enhance the music over incidental sound/noise. My thankfulness to you anyway! 👏
Can you imagine being this brilliant?!Ahhhhh.....
No! That is why I used to go see them every chance I got.
I saw this concert at Nassau Coliseum Long Island N.Y. It was a 12th grade senior class trip. We sat on floor seats. 34th row. Back then we smoked almost of hash and pot. Some of our friends were tripping on blotter acid. To this day it's my best concert. And growing up in N.Y.
Getting tickets from ticketron. My girlfriend Iris Snyder aunt worked for what is now Ticketmaster. As soon as a great bands would come to N.Y. She always get 4 tickets. Great seats. Saw Yes, Jethro Tull, The Who. Pink floyd, And back then tickets prices were like 8.50 to 12.50. No more.
Anyone realize how silly it is today to think that Yes came to what was then "Cobo Hall" and performed CTTE and TFTO in their entirety, all at the same show?
I saw this concert at Cornell University and it was absolutely awesome
Awesome Tour, I thought I was a Guitar Player, I'm just a guy with a Guitar , Steve Howe Is all time great.
This tour was my very first big concert, age 15, Feb. 2, 1974, in the legendary Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto, as a budding young rock keyboardist. I was astonished.
Evergreen music.
This was my first concert ever. Saw them February 14th at the Nassau coliseum on long island. Great show!! I remember a lot people and critics didn't like that they played the entire Tales album. I loved it. And now a lot groups play the anniversary of albums played in there entirety to celebrate them.I guess Yes was a little a head of its time. (Ya think)
For me it's their best album ever (and everyone else's too!)
That line up at it's best.
Never soundboard record . Uma pena que até hoje somente se tem notícia de uma música , de um show , Ritual , gravada soundboard , e é excelente ! Dizem que o Steve Howe pode ter algum material . Seria maravilhoso ver um álbum ao vivo dessa tour , que veio ganhando notoriedade no decorrer do tempo . O YES errou feio ao não gravar tal tour !
I remember this tour like it just happened. Nobody, not no one could match ELP at this time... But dammit all, YES came pretty danged close!
Its a damn shame that we don't have any soundboard recordings of this tour, especially when they played the whole album. if only they had recorded it and filmed it. Nothing exists apart from these audience recordings. I wonder if any US radio shows broadcast it and then lost it over the years.?
Really; what were they (not) thinking?
To not support Music Critics this is my favorite Yes Albaum! It is actually a long poem based on Paramahansa Yoganand's " Autobiogrsphy of a yogi!"
My first YES concert👍
Mine too. Yes became my favorite band on 12 March 1974 after seeing this show, and have remained so ever since.
Such a strange band every member so talented keyboard meistro rick wakeman bass genius Chris squire the ambition of John Anderson on vocal a psychedelic guitarist Steve howe and Bill bruford on drums whos snare work is amazing i love this band and their music
Amazing finding this, just disappointed that it's not film, worked spots on the euro part of this tour. Last minute gig offered to me, couldn't say no as at the time it was my favourite band of the time. Working spots up on scaffolding got really hairy for the last 3 numbers (encore) loads of punters hanging off of the scaffolding, really kicking.
Does anyone remember if they did thus show In Nashville Tennessee
I remembered the drums looked like a spaceship and thier costumes included cloven hoofs
At the end of the second encore Anderson said he hoped we were all homeless.
I had been hanging backstage and they said Anderson was drunk before the show..Steve didn't want that second encore😅they were all so good on thier instruments ❤
It is sad that there are no film/video of this tour.
An unstoppable force at this point... Which was exactly what happened next!... The irony
I wish I'd been alive to see this live.
I was there. :)
Side 2 perfect harmonies all the way through. Best orchestrations for Mellotron ever played live. Wakeman is a brilliant orchestrator. Some of Chris best bass too. Starts at about 1:21
Brilliant!!
I was at the Tampa Stadium show 1974.
i was there too in stuttgart on yellow sunshines haha i was so far away in universe think i am still outside in the space sitting in a dark hole still laughing about the bullshit that happens on earth
The entirety of TFTO begins here 59:00
Thanks
many thanks
Sol, Dhoop, Naytheet!
Well said comrade
Ah Kin
I went to this concert, at the rainbow in London ! It was brilliant !
Me too! Before the album came out. Missed the last train home.
Possibly the greatest Yes tour ever? Where are the soundboards? Is Steve holding on to them? Please we need them released…if they exist!
Amo a Yes,la banda mas grande del mundo,dentro del rock progresivo de todos los tiempos,Om Shanti!🎹🎸🥁🎼🙏
Thanks for posting this! I bought Yes Affirmative (a bootleg Tales... complete two record album live set) in the late seventies in a used record store! It only had the four Tales... tracks on it live (just a live version of the studio Tales... album in really good quality)! It got lost in a fire, along with the rest of my albums back in the late eighties!
God this is good! I'd love to have this show on CD.
Thank You!
Ahh look at those brilliant keybord lines by Rick in the beginning of close to the edge
His solo output is not always worth of it, but with Yes he always played brilliant and overwhelming parts.
...and yet Rick bitched about the Tales album stating that he felt it was overdone, and that he had no room to work in those songs...lol. oooooooook....sounds like he's very prominent in them to me.
tranceofdances yeah I agree
I remember travelling up from London to catch the tour in Newcastle (the City Hall I think). It was awesome gig!
This setlist is a dream - all 4 Tales songs ...
This is a cool version.
The compiling of all four sides of TFTO live is cool.
I remembering going to this tour in Nashville, TN.
I love the guitar tones Steve gets on Tales. I liked his tone better back then, it was dirtier. These days he sounds too clean for me.
That’s interesting, I have described the shows as clinical.
I guess we are both saying the same thing .
Good Memories

I saw the Topographic Oceans tour but noone I have heard write about it on RUclips or any of the videos look anything like what I saw, White was in a large giant crab and Wakeman was was a giant clam shell, or maybe it was reversed, the setting was awesome, but I've never seen anything like what I saw, don't think Cleveland got to see something noone else saw, but I have no idea why my concert was so different.
Sweet...
I agree Michael Jones. Side 2 is one of the most powerful pieces they ever made, especially live. I never saw it either. By the time they got to Chicago and St Louis, it was gone. There is a performance of it here on YT At Cobo arena. It is stunning. Some of the best live production I have ever heard. Their producer, Eddie Offord was actually touring with them and doing the studio mixes live. The criticism the album received freaked the band out so nuch they axed one of the best parts of the show
Nah it wasn’t the criticism. It made the show too long. “People started falling asleep round side three” -Chris
@@hpatss4966 Too bad! They axed the wrong song.
I was at the first show they did in Chicago on that tour. They did two nights! And no, they didn't do the The Remembering. I remember seeing Eddie Offord at the mixing board almost in the center of the Amphitheater. I also remember that The Revealing Science of God and The Ancient were both tapes of the studio versions. So was Close To The Edge and And You And I. Didn't care though. I LOVED IT!!!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

The last YES tour I missed until 2004, 30 years later!
1st time seeing Yes was 1984 at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium.... this 73/74 set is quite different
As true as it is, your comment really made me laugh.
It must have been quite a shock to you.
Perhaps, you can appreciate why 70s Yes fans, were not happy with the 80s Yes.
Although I bought all the 80s albums and it’s still great music, but a little more commercial, same goes for Asia.
Incredible musicians, beautiful voices, nonsense lyrics. Makes you concentrate on the music. The voices are just instruments.
Tell me... Did anyone ever hear bass playing like that before or since?!
Chris Squire RIP had no peer.
