Yes - Time and a Word 1970 - 2) Interview

[defenestrationfan]

Squire's first beer on video!

[jsmfyneartz]

This whole video for Dutch TV is the best piece of early Yes...I have no doubt that the boys got there dropped acid and turned on the cameras. In fact, there were more than a few times back in my college days that I put this is in the VCR, took something out of my wallet (a small square of dosed paper perhaps) and usually by the time the video for "Everydays" came on I was feeling like Jon was on the gondola after the first verse when you can tell it is starting to hit him!!!

[pryt86]

jon looks like hes really fucked up on something

[vinnypimentel]

Jon's eyes are so open! Is he on a LSD trip? HAHA

[ballroomblitzkid1994]

@vinnypimentel Might be the video quality that makes it look like his eyes are wide open. If you look up the clip from Yes Rock of the 70s, you'll see that his eyes look sort of sleepy.

[Putaspellonyou]

a fat pile of hash no doubt

[schutzenhaus]

I always thought that "something else" was a condom.

[TouchingYou]

Squire is still my favorite bass player ever (save for myself, b/c I take it MUCH further than he does, but still deliciously). (Sorry no clips of my bass playing, but many clips of my guitar playing.)

[rodrigoconstantino]

weed

[Mitsy1212]

Look how young & thin Squire looks. He's a fat old guy now.

[notnowjon]

@Mitsy1212 really!!

[CHHSE1986]

I got this video from some dude at 'Yes Fest' at the Cherry Hill Hilton, NJ in the spring of 1985....

[CHHSE1986]

I got this video back in 1985 at the Yesfest at the Hilton Inn in Cherry Hill, NJ

[starrshiptrooper]

LOL I love Chris XD

[pryt86]

jon looks mad fucked up in the beggining of this clip

[slw59]

wow....Spinal Tap!

[thegunslinger9teen]

frickin awesome!!! it is like i am at a bar chillin with Jon Anderson and Chris Squire! YES RULES

[4001XBASS]

actually, I believe Ted Nugent is one of the guys who do not indulge, in drink, smoke or whatever......but is he considered a rockstar?

[ballroomblitzkid1994]

I think he's what people call "straight-edge" or whatever.

[Kidplunk]

Does any rockstar NOT smoke? I wonder if any band is really clean. I mean no drugs, no alcohol, no tobacco - if u can name em I might give em a listen.

[RushYesCrimson]

Ted Nugent and Alice Cooper both have never drank, smoked or done drugs. I'm sure that the guys in Boston were pretty clean as well due to their health conscious lifestyles. There are probably more that I can't think of at the moment but those are few.

[Kidplunk]

Thanks alot for the info RYC. btw, what's your favorite Crimson record? I loved the early spacey music of the late 60s but am open to the creative endeavors of belew/fripp.

[RushYesCrimson]

No problem! I'm partial to the first two Crimson albums "In the Court of the Crimson King" and "In the Wake of Poseidon." I also enjoy Red quite a bit as well. The Fripp/Belew stuff is indeed very interesting and creative.

[Kidplunk]

Me, too. I am enjoying Poseidon all over again. I am a sucker for harmony and melody so, of course, enjoy songs like Cadence. As far as Yes, everything in the 70s was sheer genius but I prefer Topographic Oceans to anything. Peace.

[guidenredhawk]

Topographic Oceans is an amazing album. Highly underrated. My absolute favorite would probably be Close to the Edge then Fragile. Love Wondrous Stories however!

[TheLukeMaxwell]

Alice Cooper was a severe alcoholic

[herper64]

if i'm not mistaken, i think Alice actually did smoke and drink.

[cpguitars1]

@Kidplunk From what I have heard there were two rock stars that did not indulge. Not sure if it is true. They are, Frank Zappa and Ted Nugent. I do know that Ted loved the women. That was his addiction.

[pleased9]

@cpguitars1 ~ Frank Zappa's vice was cigarettes. No drink or drugs for him or anyone in his band. He was very strict about this from what I've read. Don't know about Ted Nugent's use or lack of, and don't care to know.

[bds1167]

I copied this video from a fellow fan in 1985 at the Yescon'85 fest... I still have it... along with the kick ass classics from Time and A Word!!!!!!!!

[sandprof]

young lads they were then - had good careers though - must have made a few bob!

[EriktheHermit]

I wanna see what he'd rather not show me.

[keznh]

what happened to the rest? it's cut off at the end

[mlouiseh1]

i know you must have heard this already, but where is part 1? i've looked all thru your vids and can't find it? that said, thanks so much for this, i was looking for it and couldn't remember where i'd seen it. its perfect!

[TheChugulator]

If chris talked alot faster the speech he just did it could have fit into a monty python sketch

[nanderson1965]

... so I'm thinking I should go write a punch line, but they're so hard to find in my cosmic mind that I think I'll take a look out of the window.

When I think about you I don't feel low! Yes!

[genyouwin]

How sad it is to see one's musical icons behaving like twats, spending my LP money on things like clothes, drink and cigarettes - while my father (and mother) are workin't down mine for sixpenth a day, day in, day out.

Yes? YES? Well, no! This is not where I thought my money were goin' when I splashed out on't "Yes Alb'm" or "Frajill" or "Close T'Edge".

I's sad, really I am. Before y'know it, Yes'll be singing about rescuing whales!

Where did all the good people go?

[willruddock]

Relax, man. They're just having a good time. And this is from 1970. People grow up, they do.

[genyouwin]

Hi Will,

You obviously missed the joke. ;-)

[brianjlg]

What's the world coming to when a bunch of blokes spend our money on clothing. Especially capes.

[Abonisher]

They already did sing about saving whales!

[0a0xx]

chris is the man!

[NilezII]

Rare to see these guys clowning around!

[1onebastard]

Yeah, I was especially surprised to see Jon Anderson Smoking? I really dought Steve Howe smokes and I'm sure Jon quit soon after this. Chris is smoking in the photo on "Close to the Edge" He was 22 in this interview.

[seamus1967]

Jon didn't quit smoking until the early 90's.

[chbidude]

Chris Squire is hilarious!

[narrowarrows]

wow, chris squire...the best bass player of all time. in the flesh. right here on video. it's like having footage of jesus or something.

[angrysamoan666]

@narrowarrows Except Chris Squire is less funny

What a unfunny cunt, shut the fuck up Chris

[marmas58ink]

@angrysamoan666 First saw this a couple years ago.... Squire's monologue kind of reminds me of Monty Python style... only without any funny bits. Probably about the 1st time he was interviewed in front of a camera...

[uriahheep108]

@narrowarrows "The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizen of this plight."

~JFK Michael Tsarion is the worlds premier conspiracy researcher/lecturer/author. Dr. Bill Deagle, Leo Zagami, Jordan Maxwell and Alexandre Dumas pere are highly informative as well. p.s. Melting Euphoria is similar to Ozric Tentacles and Gong.

[eennymo]

Ah, the good old days... glassy-eyed and all!

[kikofray]

tdo mundo chapado ahahahahaha

[Hermgirl666]

Chris Squire with half a heat on! XP

[keystop]

5 pounds of weed

[eennymo]

Looks like too much partying...

[marez71]

chris rules!!!

[pehbunny]

beer and cigarettes...wow..

[ybrix101]

i don't think they smoke anymore. at least cigarettes.

[MargusKiistheCritic]

Jokers. Hahahahahaa
