  • Actually this is not a Yes-track. It is entitled 'Création du Monde' (Creation of the World) and it comes from Vangelis album 'L'Apocalypse des Animaux'. Naturally, Vangelis has some connections to Yes, but this music was entirely written and played by him...

  • got to see them in concert on there 73-74 tour in 74. Took my GF and introduced her to the band's music..she love me long time :)

  • I always tought The yes logo and everything looked a bit asian.

  • Billions & billions of times, (Lol).

  • Not Blocked in ireland...yet!

  • hmmmmmm..........yes

  • Leyendas de los Océanos Topográficos

  • @Tanoos nop, Leyendas de topografia oceanica.

  • Topo...the greatest of many YES albums...to deep for the casual listen...you have to listen repeatedly to all YES music for it to come through...then you can't stop listening...for ever.

  • @202Hollywood Very well said.. I agree!

  • Comment removed

  • @cse0547 You are absolutely right ! I was also surprised to learn that a few days ago when I read Steve Jobs biography.

  • Yes is one of the best bands, live, or in the studio

  • It is my advantage to point out yes as a musical group are a revolution in music both at the time these talented guys but thier efforts in to motion as well they never copied any other musical groups music.All so sport the fact of search a musical leader to relate thier music

    they start with yogi and find there core values in jesus christ!

  • @bobbyshou And Bobby, wouldn't you not know, Revealing!...very quickly actually so that I did not know what had happened but KNEW something. At that same time, I had just dug out Close to the Edge just as I 'realized' a change..and have now become fully entrenched in all of their music..as Jon has gone solo, some songs reflect some core beliefs (Just One Man)..but they do not want to seclude any listener out is my impression. "I've crossed over the River...I am Home". Very Wizard of Oz 'ish.

  • I heard this song when i'm 18 years old. I bouht the record. I don't never forgot of this album. Incredible

  • FANTASTIC

  • Assolutamente perfetto!

  • my fav yes

    

  • brasil

    

  • Alot of this piece sounds like the chord progression in "Gates Of Delerium"...right before they break into "Soon". Beautiful.

  • Kozmik, huge, beautiful, proto Blade runner, but w/ a darker, ominous ending

  • Kozmik...so this is an intro by Vangelis?...Totally Blade Runner...basic progression: I-V4-2/V-IV/I - I, or modally speaking,Tonic major- Tonic Lydian - Tonic sus4(IV chord /w I on the bass) - Tonic major

  • WE WENT TO COLT PARK CT. AND ROOSEVELT STADIUM N.J. BACK IN 76? RELAYER TOUR WITH MORAZ...MUDDY THEN RAINED OUT JON MAKES ANNOUNCEMENTS~RETURN ON RETURN DATE MORE RAIN BUT SHOW GOES ON WITH MUCH OF THIS OPENING ...ENCORES "SWEET DREAMS" AND "IM DOWN"...I BLANKED OUT SEVERAL TIMES THAT NIGHT(NOT PROUD) BUT MY HEARING REMAINED ACTIVATED AND BIO COMPUTER TAPES INTACT FOR THIS VERY MEMORABLE SHOW!!!

  • oh yes.

  • I have always loved his work..do they still have posters like we had in the 70s?

  • プログレに嵌ったのは、このアルバムから・・・・高校時代でした­。至極の一曲と思います。

  • Whoa! No Steve"s the protaganist my fellow student.He brought Mr.Wakeman back into the Yes fold.Jon actually was busy sking with Alan.Chris was taking long baths.Please kindred people Mr Howe designed the THE STARSHIP.Wurm.

  • QUIERO DECIRLES QUE ESTE ES EL MEJOR ALBUM DE YES, DE COMIENZO A FIN.

    PP

  • went to this concert and had a grate time with friends thanks guy's

  • Le plus grand groupe des 70's de rock progressif

    100 fois copiés et jamais égalé !

  • Every now and then there is a star program .Not far from our sodium lamp skies,we feel kinship to art and nature.Yes provided a portal(like Amiens in1220).Thank you my soft walking masters from a more romantic time.Many a teenaged bedroom and backseat were brought front and center in our mannerist 70's.someone will find you men of daring innovation.

  • It sounds FLOYD and is fuckin´great!!!

  • This is such a moving and audacious piece. Somewhere

    between Hendrix's "Moon Turns The Tide Gently..." and

    Vangelis! I absorbing all the 70s Yes I can for weeks now.

    Thank you yestopographic73 !!

  • interesting! ;) starting at :35, the chord progression sounds similar to the section right before Soon on Relayer. wonder if Yes drew on the influence?

  • @rickfan1964 Someone else said that a year and 4 thumbs up ago !good to see you are reading the comments anyway! next time try an original thought !

  • @MrSluggo666 ha!! sorry, i didn't realize someone else had said the same thing.

  • Miałem 15 lat gdy pierwszy raz to usłyszałem na "radiu Luxemburg " i od razu pokochałem "YES" ta miłość trwa do dzisiejszego dnia, choć to już 38 lat!!

  • thank you for this...you've made my day

  • album *

  • what sonfter did u use ?

  • 1973,  a great year for music, thrill to be alive.

    2010 not so bad this time papa

  • @ePhilosopher9 but 1974 was KICK ass becuase rush had there debut album out

  • @zackjp Yes. Yes and Rush are the best bands I can think of. Is there anything else worth listening to in the world of rock?

    (What is rock?)

  • ALOHA!

  • Saw the Topographic tour in '74 at the Hershey Arena. First concert of my life.

  • Very dreamy. It almost feels like watching the genesis of topographic oceans before my eyes. I vividly remember buying the album in a now defunct record store in Harvard Square during the 70's . Thanks!

  • I saw this album on vinyl today and I didn't buy it. I will definitely buy it tomorrow.

  • At 4:30 you can hear the Olias sounds Jon must have sought to recreate. Either that, or Vangelis was the true musician behind Olias (which is what I've always wondered). Some stories tell that Vangelis couldn't join Yes due to "labor restrictions". Vangelis is definitely a master of sound.

  • Yes is Yes forever.

  • @jsilence418 tell bubby!!

  • One thing I got out of a book about Yes I once read is that Anderson,Howe,White=Big Egos

    Squire,Wakeman=down to earth nice guys

  • what album name´s can you tell me please ?

  • My biorhythms drop off the chart if I don't hear "The Revealing Science of God" once a month. Been that way for 32 years now.....  Never get tired of hearing that one.

  • Your all wrong it was a tour with this album in mind

  • If I'm not mistaken this opens up the YES QPR video right before Firebird Suite. Always wondered what it was.

  • And You are absolutely right ! Thanks foe watching !

  • @yestopographic73 Beautiful work my friend...a beautiful introducction...Congratulatios­!!!...This and "Jesuschrist Superstar" are someones of the best producctions from 1973...Greatings from Perú

  • @kramsmada its Vangelis....it says so... Thing is b4 i saw the little mic that says artist it did remind me of the beginning of Blade Runner...have 2 say I dunno exactly what it is but the little sign above will take u 2 it...JKL

  • @kramsmada it is the Beginning of Blade Runner or what came to be that movie..I'm still listening to it and can't help seeing it in my 'ead too so to speaK_JKL

  • Vangelis with YES!!?? WHOA!!! now that's a spicey meatball. It's like when Keith Emerson mentioned that at one point they had talks with Jimmi Hendrix about joining ELP!!! ICONOCLASTIC!!!

  • ¿¿¿??? so...

    ?what are you doing here¿

  • @gabote82

    Oh, get lost and go listen to your fucking Sex Pistols.

  • I suppose you listen to someone more stimulating...like Taylor Swift.

  • Comment removed

  • i read zero infections

  • Pausch4711 is correct. This is "Creation Du Monde" by Vangelis from his 1973 album "L`Apocalypse Des Animaux" . It was used by YES as their opening piece during their 1974-76 tours. It`s widely known that Vangelis was touted as Rick Wakeman`s replacemant in Yes but egos got in the way (namely Steve Howe) and Pat Moraz got the job instead. I always wonder what it would have been like to have an entity like Vangelis in Yes. I`m sure an album like Tormato would not exist. I could live with that.

  • Again. Read infos section. It is written :

    "Music is 'Création du Monde' by Vangelis.

    This music was used by YES to introduce TALES during Topographic Tour (1973-74)."

    It was also used by YES during RELAYER tour (1974-1975) but in a different way. To my knowledge, Création du Monde was not used by YES during YESSOLOS tour (1976).

  • i have a bootleg recording of the tour and it just has the regular firebird suite intro then they do the close to the edge album in full followed by the entire topographic record then an encore of roundabout

  • @yestopographic73 The interesting thing about this song, is after listening to it a few times you get the feeling Yes was really influenced by this piece when they wrote this album.

  • @yestopographic73 Correct, sir. in addition, Vangelis was used as an accompanying kb on Going For The One.Vangelis and Wakeman frequently collaborated and shared work, ergo the Yes connection. My uncle did security at Sheffield Studios and introduced me to Eddie Olford and Squire in the mid 70's, I was a wee lad!

  • not my fave yes album but Tormato is great dude--- did genesis and pink floyd present such an evolved work as punk and new wave were edging them out ?

    answer: no

    i mean come on:

    Release Release is yes doing punk but perfectly YES..

    On the Silent Wings of Freedom---

    accept Ricks solo that is classic high energy yes

    like Siberian Khatru

  • you make a great point on tormato doing the punk thing, but youre talking a whole different era of YES. tormato started the "new wave" YES, and like genesis' "then there were three" is very unfocused; and nowhere NEAR the best of what the band has to offer. Tales From Topographic Oceans is YES at its progressive PEAK, while tormato - i would say - is a whole different band in its own right. its hard to contrast the two albums they are SO freakin different

  • @ecclesiastes9

    I agree in multitudes

  • @Johnnywr thanks for mentioning what this is! it'll be great to find a copy of it...

  • @Johnnywr note to self Gupta Outsourced

    The Veil of Winter's Face Obscured

    By-Clouds and the Snow Dog

  • @Johnnywr That's funny, but come on....you gotta LOVE Tormato! Ok....maybe not.

  • @Johnnywr what egos were involved and how specifically?

    thx

  • @janny108 Mostly Steve Howe`s ego, it was Steve`s attitude to Tony Kaye (as well as Kaye`s lackadaisical attitude to moogs, mellotrons etc) that led to his replacement with Rick Wakeman. In that respect, good on you Steve (although, in my opinion, Kaye`s organ sound is superior than Wakeman`s). I just wish Pat Moraz was kept on after the relayer/solos tours into Going for the one, I think the first real backwards step YES made was Wakeman rejoining in 76, probably Squire`s idea.

  • @Johnnywr It was also widely rumored that Jimi Hendrix was going to join Emerson Lake & Palmer. That just makes me shake my head. I often think about the what if's when it comes to Vangelis and what he could have done with Yes.

  • @swaggs Carl Palmer has confirmed the rumour to be true in an interview. He was suggested by Mitch Mitchell who Keith Emerson asked to join before Palmer. Mitchell knew Hendrix was bored with the music he was currently playing and was ready for new thing. They were supposed to have fool around rehearsals after Isle of Wight festivat to test ideas and personalities. The death of Hendrix sealed the decision for trio. Randy Bachman was other alternative but he went to form BTO.

  • Vangelis was so out there musically and creatively it's hard for me to find the adjectives and superlatives. Yes was (I purposely use past tense) is quite simply an incredible band but then I think we could say that about most Progressive Rock bands. The concept album that is so inextricably linked to Prog Rock permitted rock music to take on deeper meanings and a richer musical tenor. Hendrix with EL&P. Whew that boggles the mind.

  • One of my favorite bands of all time. I have been listening to Yes since the mid 70's and will never grow tired of their sound.

  • Yes en su máxima expresión, gracias por subirlo.

  • Very nice tune - but wrong tune! This isn't Yes, this is Vangelis!!!! To be more precise, it is Vangelis' tune "Creation du Monde" from hos "l'Apocalypse des Animaux" album from 1973, written for Frederic Rossif's french TV series of the same name. So those of you who thought it sounded a bit like "Blade Runner" were partially right - Vangelis wrote the music to "Blade Runner" too. "Creation du Monde" appeared in a few episodes of Carl Sagan's TV Series "Cosmos" of the early 1980's.

  • Next time read infos section.

  • @yestopographic73 Yes! hahahaha...

  • @ pausch4711 Cite exact! !

  • @pausch4711 Hi,  Is this part of the "Tales Of Topographic Oceans" album? Thanks!

  • @silverfox4743 No, it's not. It's not even music by Yes. It's music by Vangelis: "Creation du Monde" from his "L'apocalypse des Animaux" album.

  • @pausch4711 YOU are wrong...read the info.

  • very blade runneresque, but far more beautiful and superior

  • yes songs are lenghty you can see that cause the intro is 8 minutes

  • I was a huge fan and saw the Tales tour.

    I played them endlessly and never even thought about tantras, etc. Just thought of pretty landscapes.

    I'm a born-again christian and I love Yes. They appeal to everyone!

  • All of the rich content of this video may not mean much to those who were not a part of this musical movement/era, yet to me it is the essence of inspirational musical devotion ~ to conjure forth thoughts and feelings into manifestation. It blew me away in '74. Now 25 years later I'm attempting to actually play this material (on drums) with others who have taken the time to learn it. Listening to Tales is one universe. Playing Tales is another universe ! ~ Blessings.

  • Wow! This kicks ass ! The sounds are appealing to my ears and mind. I would like to hear this shit all the time. It reminds me of "Blade Runner" the movie. Thanx a lot for posting this music. I have enter in another sphere, if you will, of music in the 70"s and beyond, in the year 2009. Its to much for me to express my love of this sound without any substance. Thanx again!

  • The Wonder of Life !!

  • This music is very similar to that which finishes' Gates of Delirium', and precedes, 'Soon' on Relayer, .Really nice presentation thanks!

  • Fantastic !!!!!!!!

  • Simplesmente Fabuloso!

    Sou fã Nº 1 do YES e principalmente de album TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS.

  • As a side note... this musical piece (Creation du Monde) was also used to great effect in Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos' series, during several of Sagan's dandelion spacecraft journeys.

  • THANK YOU YesTopographic73 !!!!

    Wonderful!!!!

  • Wonderful !!!

  • yup

  • It is a pity that we cannot make actual new Worlds as easily as they can be made with music!

  • "Music" is the language some of us use and understand to make this world work without having to create or look for new worlds ! I wish more people would use it.

  • I like your comment ; )

  • Wow, best quote on music I've ever heard!

  • @1i1feat you're a genius

  • @ePhilosopher9 Thanks! hardly a genius but a long time "Yes" fan!!

  • great thought!

  • @SteffanLlwyd oh but we can. God made you a creator ... maybe not in this world ... but in the next where traveling at the speed of light means eternity ... you can get from one end of 'your' heavenly domain in seconds not years, you'll have a lot of time on your hands to continue to build and expand his world at the speed of thought. "For let us create man in our image" right Genesis 1:7

  • @directorwvp2 Ah! I'm not religious myself and have no wish for life after death... this gives life more urgency and importance; well, in my experience it does! All the best.

  • Before Vangelis was born he wrote Angelic hymns in heaven.

    Thankfully God allowed him to come to earth and spend a little time with us.

    : )

  • Once this music finishes I can easily imagine them singing...dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources...

  • beautiful thought!!

  • Mindblowing !!!! simply amazing

  • Wow.... I'm trippin again ty

  • boy you did excelent job great music to imagine the absolute conscience that exist behind trouble maya

  • A true Yes fans dream. Excelent

  • Ah, Vangelis. John loves him. Seeing this concert live, I've been told, really blew people's minds. Thank you for this great post.

  • Actually. The lyrics Jon wrote with Vangelis is not lovesongs to a woman, its for love he felt for his brother. Though noone realises that. But I can hear it.

  • Intergalactic travel music.

  • Best time of music, ever !

  • true

  • No words....Just feelings......AMBIENTSPHERE...­...It reminds me of the old VANGELIS. Anyway it is known that VANGELIS was ment to be in the band but he didn't stay at the end.

  • Priceless!

  • loved it:)Lovely music:)

  • great music good film

  • Thank you so much for this! Of all the great early YES concerts I've attented TALES will always stand out as one of the most moving and transcendent Live experiences ever!

  • It's really my pleasure !

  • WOW!
