[zonderOck]

[benkenobi30]

@zonderOck creo que se llama un "pedal steel guitar"

[vincelooij]

My son of (now four than 2) has been watching this a few times with his mouth open ,amazed! calm, he loves it. He is normally a hurricane! so not only a beautiful song but also a medicine haha love thesong and video

[TheStotter69]

It brings back very happy memories, days gone by, sometimes I could cry when I hear this, it takes me back to when life was beautiful.

[eperiodismovictor]

Increible.... ya no se hace música como esta

[nickcg]

unbelieveble :D

[ChampionNewsOnline]

Yes were decades ahead of time, ahead of music, and really offered up the first examples of new age music. They were my favorite band in the 70's and they still are today.  Simply amazing artistry.

[spelron]

I saw this concert in 1975 in Austin . . . 6th row. I still have the record. If you listen to all of it, you understand the discordance & war & aftermath. I'll always love Jon Anderson . . . voice of angels.

[GODUCKGO]

What a beautiful song almost brings tears.I just saw Jon and Rick Wakeman live in Buffalo NY october 26/2011.( yesterday).I teared up during this song. With Rick on keyboards it sounded almost exact to this video. Dont go see fake YES.They threw Jon him out of the band. Go see Jon and Rick if you have a chance.It was a glorious evening.

[ripeyellowjockuk]

I was there, £2.50 a ticket! Great at the time, a bit dated now? Up to you.

Still gives me shivers, in a good way. Cheers,R.

[ciliaris2]

No human being has ever had a 7 octave range.?

Minnie Riperton and Annie Halsam are close.

Especially Annie at the end of Ashes are Burning

[swans1997]

@ciliaris2 Heard Diamanda Galas?

[003RuY]

That's the HEAVEN! 

[HenriquesRusso]

THIS IS 1975 !!!



[magnus12g7]

amacing love this songs

[abau1000]

Magnifique

[joiceferraro]

Esta é a canção mais linda para mim. Transcende a própria existência, a existência do ser. Tive o prazer de ouvir Yes ao vivo no Rock in Rio 1985... 10 anos após esta apresentação. Os teclados e a voz de Jon ... simplesmente mágicos!!! Garoava, e aos primeiros acordes dessa música o céu se abriu e a lua se fez presente envaidecida com o som que inundou o Rock in Rio... inesquecível!!!! Obrigada YES!!!

[antonioj123]

Funny, from this angle Jon Anderson almost looks like Pauly Shore.

[bajatuna]

@antonioj123 Like Obama looks like Buckwheat.

[Rikk303]

@antonioj123 from the same angle, I saw an upside down ball-bag...weird huh? Jon is an hero of mine...as is tea and irony

[alexandrerocker]

Im vicious in progrssive rock!!!

[pinamar13]

GRANDES !!!!!!!!

[margytomi]

Wonderful Yes!!! Is it taken from a dvd? :)

[Rapsus666]

@margytomi Yes, Relayer Tour, live at QPR 1975, is a double dvd.

[Big77Jim]

Funny Steve Howe takes an instrument that you think of George Jones or Waylen Jennings and turns it into a progressive rock masterpiece.Yes is the best of the best.Some prog bands had better vocals like early Genesis but none could match the cleverness of Yes's music.

[FlixMaker64]

@Big77Jim Jon has some of the best vocals ever, he had a 7 octave range voice which only a few ever had.

[Big77Jim]

@FlixMaker64 I was not knocking Jon Anderson.I love his voice but some of my friends who were not into Yes as much as I cited his high end vocals as a reason for dislike.I do think Peter G was the best prog vocalist.Yes is my favorite band so you will not find me out of step with that but there where other great prog bands like King Crimson,Early Genesis,ELP,Camel,Vandergraff Generater and many others who where close to Yes in Quality of music and equal vocally.

[plpicher]

@FlixMaker64 the world record is 6 octaves, I doubt he had 7...

[wwilivinghistory]

@FlixMaker64 No human being has ever had a 7 octave range. Only a few have had 4 octaves. Jon has a wonderful, rich, high voice, but he doesn't have a wealth of low notes. He probably has a solid 3 octaves.

[sinfoneura]

Como asi,Jon Anderson llamo a gustavo Dal Farra para partcipar en un proyecto....Increible.

[blasetre61]

coooooooooool.....

[maycon5518]

xapado :s



[green3825]

our reason to be here. Yikes.



[green3825]

Just too beautiful...if there is such a thing

[AWarWithoutEnd]

You could see Jon's voice was really disturbing him.

Beautiful performance.

[TheTherese3]

Queens Park Rangers 75

[Corleonetone]

@TheTherese3 how come it's not part of the dvd tracklist? is it there?

[Corleonetone]

which concert was this?

[DavesNotHere56]

One of my favorite Yes songs.

[DavesNotHere56]

@DavesNotHere56

Oh and one of my all-time favorite 70's bands. This was my hey-day, and I loved this band along with about 6 or 7 others from that era.

[Junghans65]

Fuck You all you YES Haters....You obviusly are punk Rockers!

[Phibes43]

Andersons voice is a joy on this

[angelita1122]

yes....i love the song too..much...very...mery much...thanks...Kiss

[KLezlie]

Also- I believe this piece to be Anderson's most lyrical work - outside of "Olias". I am a poet and the allusions, the imagery, the layered meanings, the tone, and tempo are gorgeous.

[KLezlie]

@ TQ2boyz When this "Gates" was released, the US has just exited Viet Nam and there was a lot of anti-war (and, anti-American, it must be stated) sentiment "in the air". Yes, I'm sure that had something to do with the piece. The reference to Tolstoy is on the liner notes & documented elsewhere. "Soon", I think , has become a sort of "signature" song for Anderson over the years. When he performed "Soon" solo in San Francisco in Dec. (2010) it was as moving as the first time I heard it.

[KLezlie]

I saw them perform this piece around 1975 in Seattle (probably this tour) - it brought the stadium crowd to its feet - and - everyone in the section I was in to tears. What a joyous thing to find this video - thank you, knightmidnight, for posting!

[christiandelaloye]

Magnifique, merci beaucoup!!



[chelito19play]

WOOOOOOOOW O_O  LSD

[flowerdoodle]

Jons voice is ragged out by the touring.

[flowerdoodle]

This is a gorgeous, cosmic song!!!! I remember I went to a medieval fair on acid when I was 17 or 18 and I had made a mix tape to listen to whilst tripping. Ill never forget walking around peaking and this track coming on...I was BLOWN away and touched by this song; it seemed to be perfect for the setting and state of mind. Everything and every person that walked by was perfect and beautiful and fragile. I saw the cosmic parade of life dancing by.

[carolehart777]

@flowerdoodle

Hey- flower, sounds like you were Peaking bout then...:)

[TQ2boyz]

Actually, Pewploid, all of Yes' work is full of Christian imagery, you just need to "tune in" to it. Large chunks of "Topographic", "Awaken". This doesn't mean that Anderson is exclusively Christian, he is polytheistic in his approach ("Olias" owes more to von Daniken than anyone else!!).

[notimeleftforyou]

Seen this done at roosevelt Stadium outside in New Jersey unbelievable how this download really brings me back and reminds of how time passes..Thanks

[erbsnack]

@notimeleftforyou I was at the same show! Got my tickets at the Ticket-tron at Silver Rods drug store in Journal Square! The last encore was a beatles song if I remember right but I can't remember which....Do you remember?

[zenpaganwarrior]

@erbsnack Probably Every Little Thing. Possibly I'm Down - those were the two they tended to do by the Beatles.

[mineralist]

una joyita... gracias!!

[TQ2boyz]

In case you hadn't noticed, "Soon" is actually an ADVENT HYMN. Anderson simply replaced "Son" with "Sun" so as not to annoy the non-Christians. Christ coming to fulfil the prophecies is reflected in the line "Long ago/set into rhyme" as in, prophesied in the Bible. The rest of the song thereafter is astonishingly clear once this is pointed out. Yes, and I think it will probably be on the CD list at my funeral too!

[pewploid]

@TQ2boyz Are you sure of this ? Do Anderson explain it ?

[KLezlie]

@TQ2boyz Anderson does explain this song on his site-- it's also on the liner notes of the re-master CD of "Relayer". I've heard choirs try to sing "Soon" for various holidays (it looses something...). Anderson means the sun when he says sun. To summarize & paraphrase: "Gates of Delirium" is based on War and Peace, Soon is a hopeful prayer of returning peace.

[TQ2boyz]

I think that blaming "Gates" on "War and Peace" is a little simplistic. I am sure that Jon had both Vietnam and Korea on his mind when penning it, as well as our continued penchant for nuclear annihilation. Jon has always offered an upside to our "low brain" leanings, as evinced in both "So Long Ago, So Clear" in Vangelis' "Heaven and Hell" (so long ago? What biblically COULD he have meant?) and the finale "Loved by the Sun (Son again?) from Ridley Scott's "Legend". Gosh, deep or what??

[souleeches]

SPENT HR'S LISTENING TO THIS OVER & OVER

BRING'S BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES

[welsh1kev]

eddieBsbB i am almost sure it is from an Old Grey Whistle Test special that was shown in may 1975, and was live from the (Q.P.R) Loftus Road football stadium, hope that may be some help to you.

[JeffKnorek]

@welsh1kev : thanks for the info...I was into Yes long before I got On The Bus...my very first rock concert was Yes in 1976 (Richfield Coliseum)...at the age of 16...the ticket price was just $6.60 US with no service fees...

[earinsound]

I cannot find the whole show. Does anyone know?

I really need to have that concert, it that a bootleg?

[EddieBsB]

I'm 29 y/o now. If you're over 50 y/o... Dude, I'm so jealous of you !!!

YOU LIVED THE BEST SEASON ON THIS EARTH !

I wish I was 20 years old when this song was released...

There's no song to bring me more peace of mind than this song !

[karwillmc]

@EddieBsB I'm 54 and this music is as fresh as the day i remember hearing it for the first time, your first time of listening has just taken a little longer, music and peace are timeless

[MorganKai]

@karwillmc ergo music is peace? :P

[Poopaloo55]

@EddieBsB The 70's was a magical time to be young, no question! The best thing is that you appreciate the magic and great music lives forever.

[scottmackeen]

Greatest song in all of history.

[smellrod]

when the drums come in at 4:49 the great alan white just hits that groove. loved Relayer. Moraz was good for them and that album.

HIGH SENSE OF DREAM IN MUSIC. FRANCK

[ropane]

I heard Jon Anderson sing this music "a capella" 25 years ago in Zurique and it was amazing, unforgetable.

[TERESAALFAMBRA]

Hasta los 80 todo,a partir de los 80 nada...Gracias a esta generación de los que ya tenemos entre 50-60,un patrimonio de la humanidad,orgullo de nuestra generación y envidia del resto...

[carlosajusto]

simplemente incrível poder ouvir essa maravilhosa sinfonia...

[McGwinn]

schön, den Jon mal so 'unschön' zu sehen ;-)

[nat00ben06]

They could be a band straight out of middle earth, I could see the elves singing this in one of their big halls during a merry feast. That's it the guys from Yes are elves!

[vannelli59]

EL PROXIMO 30 DE MAYO ...AUDITORIO NACIONAL...MEXICO.DF.....EL YES!!!!!!

[MrStrat01]

Wonderful music,.the voice of Jon takes us to the stars.I saw them in 1977 in Lyon and in 1991 in Grenoble for the Union Tour.What a magic they a able to do when they are on stage.Yes rules the world definitively.

[14kevin14]

Acid

[shizukesa65]

You can tell how great YES and their music is just by studying the video. The crowd of thousands is completely silent during the song due to total awe and enrapturement (no, this is not a religious term). Yet at the end of the song the crowd erupts into unanimous rejoicing. That is the true sign of classical music.

[oranjebelg]

This is like heaven written down in musicnotes................

[gsherm1210]

(cont'd): I was so startled and he put me immediately at ease, talked about how they had requests from the venue to turn down the intensity of the strobes during Sound Chaser etc.... Jon was pretty high, obviously enjoying himself - I told him I was at the infamous Tull/Yes concert at Hampton Beach back in the day and we shared a laugh about it. My girlfriend at the time got back to her home in MA about three hours past her curfew, got grounded for a week - said it was well worth it.

[juliedog464]

@gsherm1210

"Tull/Yes concert at Hampton Beach" what was the story?

thanks

[gsherm1210]

STILL remember this tour and how great it was. Saw the shows in Boston, Hartford and Providence. Walked out of the restroom in the hotel lobby where the band was staying in Providence and smack into Jon -

[JackAngelBlue]

The music of Yes is transcendental! I heard it is a unique and unforgettable experience!

[JackAngelBlue]

Amazing sound...from another world!

Peace, love and hope for all...

Jack, from Brazil Yes fan ETERNAL♥

[lynxbeck]

So beautiful it brings tears to my eyes.

[oranjebelg]

Mannnn, this is getting stoned without blowing !!

[Zanthxs]

This song is so gorgeous it makes me soul soar with it now as when I saw it at the Forum in California; also blown away by the experience... thank you for the post... Peace & Light from Asturias, Northern Spain...

[JackAngelBlue]

Jon is THE VOICE.....

[svanur75]

YES. Muito Obrigado á todos....

YES.Thanks a lot to all….

[mojo4404]

I have logged onto this video many times over the past several months to listen to the

"sweet refrain that soothes the soul and calms the pain". Thank you for posting.

[ZacharyJamesMartin]

fuxing hippies!!

[muzicosm]

I saw this performed in, well in 75 first but in 97 at Fox Theater in Royal Oak Mi, It was a true Yes crowd. Right up to the end of this song with the steel guitar trailing off the entire place was SILENT, not even murmuring. Everyone was entranced, on the edge of their seats. The song ended and 3 to 5 seconds went by, still dead silence. A slow building clap and cheers ensued. It was magical!

[mojo4404]

@muzicosm I am envious.

[lacount91]

OMG

[eddiemoon]

What the heck happened at 4:47?

[02R96]

@eddiemoon - I think he say's d@mn it? I guess he didn't like his performance a the end.

[vera6406]

Lindissima Soon do Yes, estou feliz por ter encontrado . Obrigado hoje é especial, precisava mesmo ouvir esta linda canção.

[ZacharyJamesMartin]

omfg worst song ever this is shit why dont u fuxing hippies listen to some real music ughghghhg its like ear rape!!!!

[muzicosm]

@ZacharyJamesMartin I'm just curious Zach, your age and your music style. While I can agree Jon's voice was not in peak shape here and the steel guitar was a bit shrill....This is one of the top 10 bands of the last century without a doubt their musician ship and skill exceeds most of the supergoups. If you are a musician you should recognize this, unless of course you are judging them on this performance only. Close to the Edge will be played at my funeral! In 70's I was a stoner not a hippie!

[spergs]

@muzicosm you stole my thunder. I just saw the current version of yes do this song a couple days ago

and told my wife I wanted this played at my funeral. It already takes me to other places. Incredible lyrics and playing.

[MysticalExplorer]

One of my all time favorite songs!

[StudioRide]

Steve Howe is the best guitarist ever.

[visog]

Pretty mind-bendingly good

[croy1961]

Jon has a most distinct voice as does the music of YES and they have a universal appeal too. Play on loud speakers above the Earth make everyone stand, stop and listen to what might sound like the heavens, bring on world peace. Nice dream I guess.

[croy1961]

Jon has a most distinct voice as does the music of YES.

[lucpricha]

the studio version is the wonderful music on the world

[JackAngelBlue]

Pure lightness!!!

YES...FOREVER IN MY HEART...♥

Jack, from Brazil

[TheBorealisMan]

very beautiful song  love YES remindes me of my highschool friends

stoners

[MrDodstink]

Real masterpiece album and so does this song.

[morgansrum]

Totally awesome.

[hdrake1000]

I saw YES in 1976 Tampa Stadium and they did this song after the Jam part ot Gates of Delirium with the most incredible lasers and stage I had seen. I was up front and looking around even the cops, everyone was just blown away how beautiful this song was!!! I will never forget it, its my favorite song by YES to this day because of that..

[69torus]

@hdrake1000 NICE!!!

[jsilence418]

@hdrake1000 I would have been so damn envious of you back then, hell I still am !

[fanslerw]

@hdrake1000 i saw that same show in San Antonio. The Lasers were badass. Went perfect with the LSD.

[thesilentkiller555]

@fanslerw Well when I listen to The Gates Of Delirium, I don't need LSD. The music is LSD for me. It bring me to an other world...

[ArtsAlign]

Wow, I'm now 49, and I saw Yes long ago in the round, but their lyrics are so relevant, they're becoming my new religion!

[Vevey2004]

Yes are the best, and Jon's voice defines them..lord knows what Benoit "the cardboard canadian usurper " David will do to them. one things for certain, he will not be able to sing Soon or Turn of the Century as good as this.

[willveda]

@Vevey2004 Believe it or not, Benoit does a decent job, but Jon is Lord (no not Deep Purple's keyboardist).

[cucciolottaAT]

magnifica....

Saudades de um passado que não volta nunca mais!!!!!
