One of the greatest songs ever written. So damn epic.
Arguably, one of the best songs of all time! ;)
The bit where it goes from the midst of the hell of battle to the triumph of victory is one of the most epic moments in prog rock. about 14.30.
Geddy Lee said that this album was one of his desert island records. You can listen dozens of times and still hear something new. I would recommend checking out Awaken by Yes - similarly epic.
awaken is incredible, can second that. Gates of delirium is an incredbily difficult to listen with full attention, but it's so rewarding.
amazing dude my favorite YES song i love it. All this song is amazing
The first time my friends and I listened to this (actually the entire album) when it first came outwe were understandably blown away and nobody spoke for about 45 seconds until one of my friends said simply "We have to listen that motherfucker again." And so we did, the entire album in silence, mouths agape in amazement. After Going For The One I became disenchanted, but I still listen with reverence their first album all the way up to Going For The One on a regular basis. And now my wife thoroughly enjoys when I blast the ending of Close To The Edge in my truck like 16 times in a row....LLLLOOOOUUUUDDDEEERRRR!!!!
Saw the original tour for this album in Memphis.. summer of 75.
Most amazing concert I ever saw. (And I've seen everyone)
Great reaction, Gedo you have exquisite taste... ✌YES...
I give Steve Howe lots of kudos for taking the time to learn how to play the lap steel guitar featured in the "Soon" portion. It is ethereally beautiful here, especially if your past experience with the instrument is hearing it all the time twanging along in old-style country music songs. Just as Howe managed to make album after album with Yes breaking new ground with different sounds and unique lines and runs, he also managed to adapt the lap steel guitar to progressive rock and use it in new and inventive ways.
The steel guitar is one of Howes favorites. He can play anything!
Just like here in this review, Howe doesn't get enough credit. People often mistake Steve's guitar for keyboards.
Steve Howe singlehandedly made lap steel guitar listenable. He plays it brilliantly, and in a manner I have never heard before.
What a great and insightful comment!
A monumental masterpiece. Will stand the test of time.
Best listened to in the dark so you have no distractions and the music can then envelope you.
For me maybe the best Yes song. Just an epic.
I second that.
@@avantprog6902?
@@misate8993 That it's a masterpiece.
The best next to Close To The Edge
Relayer is my favorite Yes album. I just love the whole thing. I love Close to the Edge, but Gates is definitely my favorite Yes epic if I had to choose one. But, there’s so many other good ones.
The song was inspired by Tolstoy’s "War & Peace{. The middle is a battle and they used lots of non-instruments to create the chaos. Boopity Boppity.
This is really a work of art. I hope a lot more people discover this music. It's not for the average person. You'll never hear it on the radio since it'so long. But it's a song you can listen to over and over without ever getting bored there's so much to it. I love to listen to it during my aerobics workout. It really gets you going and puts your mind in another place. Before you know it half your workout is over. Yes is my favorite group but I didn't hear this one until the second concert I saw them. At the time I didn't really get into it. It's not easy to reproduce this one live - impossible. But latter on I rediscovered it and it's been my favorite for decades. Must have heard it a thousand times now. You can't appreciate it the first time. Keep playing it and you'll see what I mean. Glad to see your reaction. Doesn't seem like there will be complex rock music like this again.
Great that you reacted to this. Kudos.
Great Reaction!! Close To The Edge is the Yes Song though!! My opinion. You mentioned Rush, There wouldn't be a Rush Without Yes!! YES!!
Try "Tales of Topographic Oceans". An amazing Yes journey
Discovering something new...I must’ve heard this a thousand times, since it first was released, but TODAY I just noticed I could hear bullets flying past my ears. Never heard that before!
he! I'am 62, I live in Quebec, I listen to this song each year and I love it
🎸Chris Squire 🎸❤❤❤
It's great watching the eyes of new YES listeners. Welcome to our world!
Just to inform you...Steve Howe(lead guitar extraordinaire) is playing a Double-neck slide guitar which is lying down on a wooden box. He plays this slide double-neck guitar with shot glasses on his fingers. It is fascinating to watch.
This is probably the most "aggressive" sounding song Yes ever made. Until you get to the "Soon" part, obviously. Had to laugh when you hit those "that sounds weird" moments. This album makes me wish Patrick Moraz could have stayed with the band for at least one more. Not that I dislike Wakeman, but Patrick brought something really different. This also is probably Steve Howe's highlight album.
Cannot agree more. Although I appreciated all the greats of the era, Moraz was my absolute IDOL as a young god-I-want-to-be-a-keyboardist. Would have loved to hear more work from this lineup. Also his "I" conecpt album is just insane
Alan White's as well.
Agree 100%
I'm not sure I agree with it being their most aggressive. I think that would be machine messiah or something from the Trevor Rabin era.
@@dansonntag4685 Have you heard " Coexistence?" It's Moraz with Syrinx, a pan flute player.
Rush emulates Yes. And does it well!
Loads of good Prog....this is something special...
Who would ever think that war and Peace would evolve into a beautiful musical, pure genius.
The chicks really dig it. Play it when they come over.
This came out 46 years ago, fuck!!!. So ahead it’s time.
Once you reach the point where you have listened to it enough times to play it all back in memory, you will enjoy it best. Because of the complexity, that can take awhile. BUT because of that same complexity I have never grown tired of it in over 40 years of enjoying this treasure.
Let the music play.
Whoopity-Boppidy. "The Ritual" is another epic like this (in addition to "Close to the Edge"). It's a must hear song, even if you chose not the react to it. Cheers from Canada.
Ritual.
By this time,Rick Wakeman was replaced by Patrick Moraz,who left soon after for The Moody Blues. Rick Returned for the "Going For The One" Album.
You went deep into Yes with this one. This album is a fav of fans, but if we fans wanted to turn the average person in to Yes, Relayer might be one of the last ones to start with... unless we knew the person was very open minded about progressive music. (That said the last part Soon at the end was released as the single and very pleasant to the ears for any music lover. So thanks for being opening minded because this track delivers. The journey continues on side two with Sound Chaser and To Be Over. I love this album.
Next classic Yes to listen to. Close to the Edge. And getting back to your reference about round about, the album Fragile deserves to be listened to from from front to back. 🙏🏻
First saw Yes in the early 80's. They were touring with a round, rotating stage. Knew nothing about them, general admission scored 6th row seats. Was absolutely blown away. Next time they returned I had every album, knew every song. Yes and Rush were the best live bands in the world.
The best of Progressive rock baby!
Ok, now go listen to the live version on YesShows. They elevated it to another level there. Shows what an incredible live band they were in their heyday. Couldn't be touched.
I much prefer the studio version. The "Yesshows" version didn't do as much for me.
I love the YesShows version! Steve Howe tears it up, and the whole arrangement has a more frantic vibe. I also like the timing of several sections, especially the ending.
@@darylquintana1420 I think it flows better than the studio, although I love that one, too. I was just getting to know the band when I heard the YesShows live album and I'll never forget how blown away I was by that Gates.
@@porflepopnecker4376 I agree totally.
Yesshows version >>>>> studio version
Omg are there really exist people of my age, who loves it as me?
Excellent, so good
Boopity! Boppity! My favorite song for 40 years! Never gets old! I love Lasagna!
The Single "Soon" was taken from :"Delirium", the final part,and was edited at its end by Atlantic Records.
You're in Love!!!! Hahahaha...lol...hahahaha...You're in Love with Yes!!!!
Hahaha...lol....hahaha..i know. It happens. My generation fell in Love with Yes too in 1969.
This is music supreme no other words....
You nailed it ❤🎉
Now I’m a subscriber, I hope to see more Yes songs as I look over your back catalog and really hope you’ve also done Close to the Edge and Awaken. Gates plus those are the pinnacle of musical endeavor, I would say. A first listen to any of those is worth watching ❤
Just wanted to thank you for the 'Camel' shout out. Yes started with this powerhouse album, just fantastic.
It's an epic song.....nice review. If you're looking for Yes suggestions I have two; Siberian Khatru and Heart of the Sunrise. Boopity bopity.
You life will never be the same. FYI there is only one live performance of this song that I can find. The original had some sound issues, it was outdoors in 1974 but someone dubbed a show from a few days later where the sound was really good. Unbelievable to watch this live from 50 years ago. YES did this song last year on their tour. Not the same with a different line up but still a work of art.
Wow. A reaction to my favorite Yes song from 2 years ago and I’ve not seen it! I’m about to start. It’s a wild ride and I hope you love it ❤ You earned a subscriber 🎉 Oh and this is much better than any remix 🎉
One of very favs bands - new subbie here, impressed...a 62 yr. young Virginian in U.S.
Who knew a song with no verse or corous could be so amazing.
The whole ending section Steve Howe is playing a Pedal Steel
Very nice reaction.
Yes, boobety boppety!
Good reaction. I'm happy you could identify the classical influence because a progressive rock band is a handful of people trying to sound like a large orchestra.....and succeeding. You will like a little-known band called Stick Men, made up of 3 well-known studio musicians, 2 of which play an instrument called a Chapman Stick, which is a combination of bass and guitar. Please listen to their performance of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite in Russia: ruclips.net/video/VmSBTG6kfBU/видео.html
at 10:04, that's the elephant from the cover of Osibisa's self-titled album
You have just heard one of the greatest books ever written turned into one of the greatest musical compositions by a progressive rock band
Good review... well done.. sometimes you can go back and just play the middle part when you want a buzz of good musicians.
I like the live version even better.
Thanks for your review.
No one plays a lap steel like Steve
Epic... now for sound chaser. 😉
And Rush should remind you of Yes
Try listening to it when you've took some acid or shrooms
I feel the same way
Woopitybobity lasagne, huge Yes fan here, tough choice but this is my favourite Yes album, have ticket to see them do this album live next June, should have been this year but a bleedin' virus cancelled the gig, enjoyed watching you enjoy the music bro👍👍👍👍👍
Traditionally, it's a symbol for the Son of God.
Yes was long before Rush.
Suggest try 'eruption' or the 'hamburger concerto' by focus if you like one side of an Lp - prog tracks. they are dear to me also. like 'suppers ready' by Genesis too
Damn danijel what a beutiful shirt for a metal head
have you heard mahavishnu orchestra yet?
Boopity boppity, indeed.
I meant to say you will hear many
Keep on critiquing yes and you are going to hear many stories Yes
Nice reaction! Noticing your Opeth shirt.... have you ever heard of Porcupine Tree?
Yes, i actually did a few reactions.
The sun will lead us, our reason to be here. The sun is often as a symbol for the Son of God. No, I am not a religious person.
I use sun a lot in my lyrics. To me and in my lyrics in my songs it symbolizes light, good in mankind and searching our own sun (sun as in meaning).
I know it may not be your thing, but try Fermi paradox by A7X.. U might love it
Please listend to the drum by Alen White
Artillery - Khomaniac pls thrash with oriental
Stephen Wilson?
Steven Wilson?
12:23 theme similar to Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin?
Please react to Şebnem Ferah - Can Kırıkları
React maximum the hormone - let's talk about menkata And alien.
This was the peak of Yes' progressive creativity. After "Relayer", it was all downhill for Yes. "Going For The One" is regressive in comparison.
GFTO regressive? No way.
@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669 The song Going For the One is what keeps that album from being the best Yes album. It kills the whole flow of the album.
@double1935 You are right Awaken and Turn of the Century are the peak of the Yes experience in my opinion.
@@bauertime It was written for the Olympics. And its an Olympic feat how Jon was able to sing those difficult lyrics as fast and clear as he did especislly in concert with no teleprompter. Great song to drive to.
@@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669 I like the song on it's own, but is just very harsh sounding compared with the rest of the album. I wished they would have picked a different opening song.
12:53 haha, i like this expression, this is exactly the moment when my opennes to chaos in this song ends. I appreciate Gates od delirium but lets be honest medium section of this song is a bit crappy and directionless in some spots
Agree with you totally. But the end makes it all worthwhile.
You mean rush reminds u of yes.
No, yes reminds me of rush, since im more familiar with them.
Stop talking and listen.
