YES - Going for the One Sessions (1976)

[Remko1024]

Awesome video!

Thanks a lot for posting this!

[SamBAss42]

This is genius. Musicians like this will never emerge again

[drummingprince3]

This is f*cking jolly great!

[darnell828]

yea, would sure like to imagine that music today is just as good buttttttttt! I saw this tour in philadelphia at the spectrum. They were there for 4 days. It was really really great!

[Papabude]

Chris rules!!!!!!!!!!!

[RickSPI2009]

I don't think this is the take that made it onto the record - but pretty damn good! and Chris wrote the song. I really like 'Fish Out of Water' (recommended for Chris fans).

[Skraboing649]

@RickSPI2009 I think It's the bass and drum parts that made it onto the record, but not the organ or guitar parts. Agreed Fish Out Of water is a good album.

[sturoc0]

Awesome Chris playing the Fender Jazz !!!!!!!!!

[rudolfmusic]

@sturoc0 Really!! Awesome, Master Squire is the best!! The Ric was sitting in the corner while he rode that Jazz.

[kennywowie]

Squire was somehow voted 2nd in rock bass players behind John Entwistle.........a seemingly impossible oversight. How can that have happened??? Inexplicable. He is so obviously the best rock bassist ever as far as the whole package is concerned. He created the most memorable and crucial parts. I don't even see how anyone can come close. Entwistle???? Show me, for I am clueless.

[TheSavageroads]

So we all used to be curiousted! Great video & since there is no words I get to sing them :)

[curiousted]

Wow. Squire used to be a thin as a rail.

[marmas58ink]

Someone ought to do the vocal over this and post it.

Step up to the mic. Let your inner-JA come out.

- I use t'could at least *hit* all the notes, though it wasn't pretty. Trying it tonight it's down to squeaks and screeches and tight butt cheeks. :)

. - My sister actually told me once I sounded like him... 25 years ago... I still remember that.

[kalungarocker]

Fantastic!!! No words!

[fercisco]

WOWWW!!!! EXCELENT

[OnTheLam123]

So special!

[SouthJerseyGuy1]

After all these years... STILL my favorite video on YouTube.Thank for posting it,and thank you YES for being such an important part of my life.

[arce341]

@SouthJerseyGuy1 in concert 1978 ricke  wakeman key boards

[microflavor]

In their interview, they mentioned over 80. hours straight and take 122 to finish laying down just this track. In the finished song, you can really hear the "layered sound". Awesome!

[Raiderblack]

I could listen to this over and over and over and never tire of it!

[tonusaitis]

I'll bet this footage from when they were close to being done with the song. There must have been quite a lot of rehearsal before they got to this point to nail down all those little changes. Parallels was pretty complicated, but then again so was virtually everything they did.

[DCussen]

Alan's toms sound like crap. Same ones he used on "Tales". Great drummer, but got better drums later...

[dockaiser]

Chris should have always used this sound. I never really liked his Rickenbacker sound, too much treble for my taste

[cdaniel]

@dockaiser I completely disagree. I hate the "fwappy" sound he gets here from that Jazz bass. I much prefer the trebly Rickenbacker growl.

[tympanicus]

How could you "forget" what a great bassist Squire is?! You can see how he was pretty much the musical anchor for this band. And I love that he's playing a Jazz bass in this clip instead of the white Rick.

[TiramisuHappy]

Man, those little odd time change-ups are KILLING ME!!!!

Absolutely brilliant!! : )

[kettlezone]

Absolutely rocking - great to see how they did it - thanks you, busketa! :)

[Skraboing649]

I fucking LOVE this clip. Anyone who plays music and jams with thier buddies knows that magic feeling when it all gels. Chris and Alan, totally locked in, amazing stuff.

[mikedrud]

It's obvious how much they just love jamming together. So cool to see people that taken away with what they do.

[TrickAssassins]

That is one of thee best overall performances of YES with regard to playing and especially TONE!! Chris just nails it with an amazingly well written bass line(on a rare occasion where he is playing a Jazz Bass!) that just takes the song to such a higher level! Also Wakeman on the huge church organ makes the song so FAT sounding! I don't always love Steve Howe's thinner tone choices and some of playing can be a little loose but on this tune he's tone is pretty good!

[mkervelegan]

Inspiring today as it was 33 years ago when I first heard it

[lonestar3]

Thanks for posting this, great stuff. Used to blast this track.

[quattrosk]

Oh como eu quero fazer amor Português para este arranjo musical ...

Yes!

[asdfasdfas9]

In the final part, Steve Howe plays a wonderful part of progressive rock chords.I don't listen these rithmic chords on the track of the CD. Maybe Steve Howe gave up this chords.Or maybe the level of the recording and mixing is too low...IT IS A PITY !!!

[eheavensone]

This brings back some hairs on my head. Wow!

Great footage! Thank Man!! Peace

 BE

[guitormentor]

Great instrumental version!

[Carokin]

Truly wonderful, and great fun leaping in with the missing vocal! Thanks for posting.

[steve03au]

Nice fluff at 1:22 by Wakeman.

[bklyncosanostra]

Jes can jam wit the best of em, un fuckin believable

[klepetar]

awesome..totally..i tried to sing the lyrics here but i sound like crap..

[funkyjones]

So tight. I forgot what a great bass player Squire is. Intense...Driving....Powerful.­...

[connord12]

[plangentmusic]

Chris on a  Fender Jazz! Sounds good!

[ross2992dimebag]

[busketa]

Parallels

[bud4207]

These guys rock...plain and simple!

[TheChugulator]

best pick bassist in my opinion

[jazzpsalti]

LOL 3:05 I had no idea Steve was doubling on harmonics the bassline

[alexauyeung]

Woo listen to the bass

[dgcmusi]

Great inside look at the way of recording.

thanks for posting this !

[amorin1]

Wow! A great document of great musicians at work. Thanks for posting it!

[basst0nes]

I'm totally blown away by this. One of my favorite Yes songs ever! Never thought I would be seeing the making of it on video. And somehow I never imagined they did it in one take. They are so "in the zone" on this one. And Chris Squire's playing is truly inspired. I will now go in my backyard and cerimonially burn my bass guitar.

[GaryNull]

If you check out another video in this series, you can see Steve Howe "smoking something", lol.

I knew these guys were getting high making this stuff. You can't think this stuff up without being a little high. I play guitar and bass and I find the same thing.

I can play things I could have never played without being high.
