The studio version of Yours Is No Disgrace is very good in it's own right...however this live version shows us what an energetic, rhythmic and involved Steve Howe was.
I am now 71 years old and I saw Yes on this very tour because I recognize their clothes. To this day I have NEVER heard a band play such difficult arrangements with such perfection. Head and shoulders the best concert I ever saw and no one was in their league and I saw every band imaginable. You don't see many bands playing YES songs because they aren't good enough musicians. By the way guys...keep up your Steely Dan journey. You won me over with your appreciation of all of their music library. Fagen and Becker were my favorites from the first time I heard "Do It Again" sometime in 1973!
One of the best videos of Yes bassist Chris Squire is from this same film, Yessongs. "Long Distance Runaround/The Fish" features Chris on "The Fish." His playing in concert was legendary, and he is missed. Yessongs is a great concert movie by one of the two or three most interesting bands in music. Thanks for playing live Yes!
Rick Wakeman and his big cape takes me back to 1972 when they came to town. It's hard to believe all the great bands we could go see back then. All you needed was $5 and a free night.
By not listening to the studio version, you guys missed out on how YES' sound engineer Eddy Offord used these great panning effects between the two channels, which were being experimented with in those days, as stereo recordings were less than a decade old in rock & roll. First listeners love it & comment on it but you won't hear it unless you now do the studio version my guys... ( _and_ it features Bruford on drums)
Thanks for taking me back 40 plus years when I last saw Yes live and I had long hair! That was psychedelic jazz progressive with special guest appearance by Gandalf on keyboards! 🙃
I've loved Yes for 47 yrs., have seen them 5 times in concert and they still send a bolt of lightening up my spine everytime I hear them! That was fantastic! RIP Chris Squire, you were a true virtuoso. You'll forever be in our hearts. 💕 😢
This is from the Close to the Edge Tour; the fall and winter of 1972-73. I just started my freshman year at Morehouse and a friend convinced me to check them out. After this concert I became a lifelong fan of Yes. I was profoundly impressed with the viruosity of the members of group; but Steve Howe was an absolute beast!
Yes has or had a concert movie I went to back in the day. It was played at midnight and I saw it when I was young and it blew me away. Thanks I like watching your reaction videos it brings me back to my younger days and it give me reason to revisit this stuff and you both do a really good job of breaking it down and I am even learning new stuff about the music I never even thought of!
This is no question a great performance, but the audio leaves a lot to be desired. This is one time that I wish that you had reacted to the studio version. Steve Howe’s guitar solo isn’t on it, but I think you would’ve gotten a better overall feel for the track. But regardless, the performance here is outstanding! I’ve seen Yes 25 times over the decades, and I never felt cheated! In fact, the first time I saw them was in November of 1972. About a month prior to this performance.
You guys are on fire today! My favorite Yes song, but the sound quality here is really bad. Highly recommend checking out the studio version to get full appreciation of the song. Great stuff! Thanks guys
I saw them twice in the 70's. To date, they are the best shows I've ever seen and I've been to many. When it comes to progressive, they are beyond compare. They have influenced so many bands.. my absolute favorite...
@@melvinwomack3717 Interesting you mentioned that. I was 17 traveling through Europe with friends the summer the members of Yes were working on that album. Can’t remember the city in Switzerland, but crossed paths with Rick Wakeman. He was using a church’s amazing, century old pipe organ to record some of his parts for the “Going For The One” LP. It wasn’t a secret. Everyone in town knew Yes was there and working. There were mobile recording trucks and quite a lot of cables running between the mobiles and the church. Bought the record back in the States when it was released, and I would sit and focus on all of Rick’s work, listening to all the easily distinguishable parts from that organ. Howe of course is remarkable as well. It’s been a favorite of mine ever since. I think I still have some pics and postcards of the inside of the church somewhere. Saw them tour it, “in the round.” It’s been awhile, but I remain an avid Yes, and Classic Era music fan to this day. Just an analog kid in a digital world. I know there are still a few of us left. Regards
Yes is one of the deepest prog rabbit holes. The solo albums from the members are all worth checking out. I especially love Bill Bruford's jazz fusion period.
Great. But love the studio recording best. This Album was my first Yes Album, age 15 in 1971. I’ll be seeing Jon Anderson Live, in less than 48 hours, in London. He’s 78 now and still sounds incredible. 🎶❤️🎶
I've been listening to Yes and Zeppelin more than everything else put together since the 70's, those two bands were on another level though completely different in style and technique.
Steve Howe is incredible, Chet Atkins was his primary Influence. Saw YESSONGS in the theater 5 times when it came out, ON ACID the first time haha.. If you can believe it, they opened up for Black Sabbath on some parts of this Tour in the US. Please do "AND YOU AND I" as well the BEST version you'll ever hear..
@@Zennofobic Yep haa, awesome huh! I know several older guys who saw the tour. Was just reading Geezer Butlers recent book, he talks about it. He said they did not get along with YES. Said they were snobby Londoner's, except for Rick Wakeman. Said he was cool and kind of a drunk haa...that's why he ended up playing on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Cheers
You probably should have reacted to the STUDIO version first (you had no frame of reference while listening to this altered, live version). I wish that you guys (and all other reactors on RUclips) would always react to the studio versions first, for this very reason. I enjoy watching you guys; keep it up.
Fabulous choice! Best part of the music world I lived in was going to see these guys play live 8 different times in their prime. Each one is a hall of famer in his own right. Our money was so hard earned we would never think of going to see any band that couldn't go toe to toe with the greats. Why not? There were so many to choose from...............😎
For me, Yes is the most elite prog band of all time. Off the charts musicianship. And of course Rick Wakeman has the greatest Rock and Roll HOF acceptance speech of all time.
@@tektoniks_architects Love Rush too (saw both bands live) but agree with your assessment of Yes. Considered the definitive prog rock band for good reason, they had a peerless balance of memorable melodies, rockin' riffs, vocal harmonies and virtuosity without forsaking groove.
Great reaction, guys! I saw Yes live during the 90125 tour (pre-internet, pre-you can see whatever you want), but obviously, could not see the guitar mastery of Steve Howe. When compared to the legendary guitarists, it is tough to compare him to anyone. He is his own animal. What an amazing guitar performance. Definitely has the nuances of a classically trained guitarist, but, Wow! I definitely need to see more live performance footage.
Steve Howe won Guitar Magazine's best player 5 years in a row. They retired him after that, so others had a chance to win. He is so under rated & seldom even mentioned on the lists of top guitar players of all time, or at least way down the list. Yes, that was Chris Squire on the bass. Not sure if that was Bruford or White on the drums.
Yes just announced there US your! Only original member is Steve. As I mentioned I’ve been fortunate to see them live 50+ times and it’s hard to see them with only Steve left! Don’t get me wrong-Jon Davidson, Billy Sherwood, Jeff Downes and Palmeroy I think on drums-all do a great job still playing all our old favs….just not the same! Dam Steve was hot this concert!!! Woot! He doesn’t always do those solos like that!❤❤❤❤❤
OK...I take back my "shame on you" that I placed on ya'll's "Perpetual Change" live audio reaction. But there is so much more YES to explore. An unbelievable band that I was fortunate enough to grow-up with. Thanks for your excellent channel.
70's rock music was all about the electric guitar. it was a big deal to be crowned best guitar player of the year by Guitar Player magazine. Steve Howe won the award five years in a row (1977-1981).
This is what is known as virtuosity of musicianship. Although not a very clear recording of this fine band it nonetheless represents them live. I have seen them on numerous occasions and they never disappoint…
Woh, Yes No Disgrace AND Zep Achilles Last Stand? Probably the studio version of Yes best, but they definitely could Jam their songs in concert. Wasn't some KISS boi band. Yes legit prog monsters!!
Not a fan of lots of these live Yes recordings but I get the attraction that they hold for hard core Yes fans. I love Yes, but don’t live and die with them. This sounded muddy but it is what it is. Enjoyed your reaction as always and welcome back from vacation.
This has to be one of the earliest live performances of this song. Regarding Steve Howe's guitar solo on the studio version, Wikipedia says: "Howe built up the guitar parts using overdubs, which was a new experience to him. Howe stated that he created "a 'studioized' solo because it was made up in different sections. I became three guitarists."
First time I took a hit of THC was for a YES concert in 1975 (9th grade for those counting). I had a buddy that was as insane for YES as I was and he supplied the "acoutrimonts". From the first song and the perfect timing of the THC, it was nirvana.
Awesome live version but Yes in the studio on this is worth checking out as well. They were spot on no matter when I saw them or who was in the band from the early 70s to the mid 90s. One of the top 5 Prog-Rock bands ever in my book, I got to see them, ELP, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and genesis at least a couple times times each back in the 70s in their heyday, memories of a lifetime! They sure don't make music like those bands did anymore, they will be remembered and have adherents like Mozart and Beethoven far into the future, they truly are forever music! Try Epitaph by King Crimson from In the Court of the Crimson King for more greatness. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

An explosion of incredible musicianship.
FINALLY !!! This is a banger !!!! Glad you got here !!!
YES❗️The greatest band on this or any other planet❗️🔈🔈🔈🔉🔉🔉🔊🔊🔊😎
Totally agree. The greatest band that's stalked the Universe.
The finest live band I ever had the pleasure of witnessing.
The studio version of Yours Is No Disgrace is very good in it's own right...however this live version shows us what an energetic, rhythmic and involved Steve Howe was.
Yes concerts always had best reputation anyone I ever knew who attended. Such a talented roster. No weak links at all.
The studio version is fantastic.
@@carol-mariefleming8689 Yes Carol it has more layers of nice harmony vocals
the version on YESSONGS is the best-- this is not as good as that...the version I recommend is top notch
R.I.P. Chris R.I.P. Alan
In my opinion one of the all time great bands, I just love them, always have!!!
Studio version impacts more but this is a very good live version. I wish I was there.
The live Yessongs versions of this is one of the very best jams you will ever hear in your life! Trust me on this one.

What an incredible band! Thanks again guys for playing this work of genius!
You gotta hear the studio perfection of this song.
Dude, I saw this! It don't get no better EVER EVER EVER
Yes was one of the tightest live performers to come out of that era of music.
Only got to see them once, in 1979. They were incredible!
Really should listen to the original official release.
Rick Wakeman and his big cape takes me back to 1972 when they came to town. It's hard to believe all the great bands we could go see back then. All you needed was $5 and a free night.
That rare moment in RnR where a band can set aside egos (for a while) and contribute harmonically/rhythmically to the greater whole.
One of my favorites.
Voted top guitarist in the world 5 times running.
Blimey these were such amazing musicians. Lucky to have been brought up with these talented people who I just took for granted.

RIP Chris Squire, you were a true virtuoso. You'll forever be in our hearts. 💕 😢
Incredible song.
The album and song that introduced the world to Steve Howe! ❤
Ohhh boys this is one of my favorite.... just an epic piece.
This was breath taking live!!!!
Now I gotta dig out my audiophile copy!!!

Shout out to whoever suggested this....psychedelic Yes....yikes. ❤
Was lucky enough to see them live once in the early 70s. It was like an out of body experience I didn’t want to end!
Th were incredible "In the Round"!
Sway by the Rolling Stones. Beautiful song.. Sooo many good Stones song all before 1974.
The intro is so energetic. I love how it builds into the opening power chords of the song. So much fun!
Yes has or had a concert movie I went to back in the day. It was played at midnight and I saw it when I was young and it blew me away.

Seen the band live 3 times and they blew the roof off every time!
WOW!!! One of my favorite songs, and this live version clearly kills an awesome studio version.
I saw them twice in the 70's. To date, they are the best shows I've ever seen and I've been to many. When it comes to progressive, they are beyond compare. They have influenced so many bands.. my absolute favorite...
The live version of this from the Union tour is a must watch
Excellent musicianship
Espetacular.
People sleep on Steve Howe He's a genius
Agreed! 😊
Those of us that don’t, grew up with him.
@@ronaldelliott4373the stuff he's doing on the song going for the one is Bonkers 😮

Still amazed when I put that album on. For drummers, Bruford's snare is killer, on the lp, that is.
Great. But love the studio recording best.
This Album was my first Yes Album, age 15 in 1971.
I’ll be seeing Jon Anderson Live, in less than 48 hours, in London.
He’s 78 now and still sounds incredible.

Shame Yes kicked him out. Though it allows them to play the drama stuff which people wanted to hear for many years
You guys will love their song, Changes!!!!! Trust me!!!!!
The studio version is the way to go.
I've been listening to Yes and Zeppelin more than everything else put together since the 70's, those two bands were on another level though completely different in style and technique.
The OG prog band of the 70s and 80s. Thanks guys. take care.
Saw Yes in 1977 at the Forum in LA, in the round where stage slowly rotates in a circle during the performance. Stellar.
Was that the one with Trevor Horn, the Bungles guy. I saw that one too.
