Yes Gusta, they are the most underrated band...EVER. No mention of the music hall of fame, no vh1 classic show...nothing. First heard Yessongs during the summer of '76, and have been their BIGGEST fan ever, regardless of everyone else's ignorance. And proud to be!!!
I first saw yes in 1968, and still like them.the first time I heard this was on an atlantic sampler lp from 1971 with a blue cover, age of atlantic, I think. they didnt do this much live, but its encouraging that they were doing it in the 2000 s
@GustavoVillarBatera Under-appreciated, maybe. If there is a GREAT RATER in the sky, THEY KNOW what's up. You & I know what's up & a few of these OTHER dingbats know what's up if you can get past the game of YES TRIVIA (who's on first, who's playing) they're all playing here.
@GustavoVillarBatera absolutly underrated, this is a very complex piece of music pulled off by world class musicians, I'm sure Paul Simon was impressed
@GustavoVillarBatera absolutly underrated, this is a very complex piece of music pulled off by world class musicians, I'm sure Paul Simon was impressed
I'm a YESfan from their onset. This original version of "America" was, for much too long, only available on a promotional album put out by their record label at the end of 1972, "Age of Atlantic." It was next to impossible to find any copies of that LP, so I called FM rock stations incessantly to play it! In the meantime, Atlantic released a terribly butchered single around the time of "Close to the Edge." Finally this superior version was released at the end of 1974 on "Yesterdays." YES!
@CHICAGOANDBEACHBOYS1 SHUTTUP. It's a cover of SIMON & GAR-FUCK-FUNKEL's original. A genius rendition in ALL it's incarnations. You're just talking about what YOU PERSONALLY like. It AIN'T HISTORY.
Sometimes I can't get enough of this band and listen for HOURS... and find NEW STUFF all the time. I've heard this song on their 35th anniversary CD set, but this version is WAY better! So tight and definitely a 70s funky, psychedelic flavor to it!
huh - that 10 minutes zipped by faster than I expected. Hopefully Paul dug this or he deserves a pie in the face. Holy mother of mary that melloton at 1:19 sure sounds like it should be on King Crimson's "Lizard" album. I'll be jiggered.
this song belive it or not was issued on a 45 with part of close to the edge on the b side! then it was issued on an atlantic sampler lp which also had an obscure led zeplin tune about how his girlfreind liked to ball all day! i know this because i used to own them! hope this helped.
@TheTherese3 Yesterdays was a best of Album. From my LP liner "This track was first recorded for 'The Age Of Atlantic' album, which was released in July '72"
I grew up listening to Yes of the early 70's and never knew about this track, when on holiday in LA in the early 90's I bought a 4 CD boxed set with this gem on one of the CD's and it has become one of my favourite Yes tracks.
@Softrockman I actually prefer the original version. This one is nice, but I think it loses the tenderness that can be listened in tthe version recorded by Simon & Garfunkel
@Mezisto8 it's on Yesterdays long before that, i know that because i found the vinyl in my nona's basement, it used to be my dad's from when he was my age
@Mezisto8 This was recorded in 1971 (Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford, Squire and Howe) Originally appeared a short version as a single. Very interesting versión of America from Paul Simon. One of Steve´s favourites guitar solos.
@Mezisto8 "If you trace up Masonry, through all its Orders, till you come to the grand tip-top head Mason of the World, you will discover that the dread individual and the Chief of the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Superior General of the Jesuit Order] are one and the same person."
@Mezisto8 "Eight years before the attempted [Spanish] Armada invasion [of 1588], Jesuits were seditiously active plotting the overthrow of the English government. By using different disguises, aliases, and secret codes, to illegally slip in and out of England, Jesuit Robert Parson, in 1580, had led and then later organized a mission to bring other Jesuits into England to engage in a work of subversion.
@Mezisto8 "The sixth and last event to be considered is the barbarous Irish Massacre, with its 23 October 1641 launching date -- the date that also celebrates the Catholic feast of Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits.
@aiyanaNCC1701 Yep, It's a BONUS track on new edition. YES also did remakes. And they were the best you could hope for. Some are even better than the originals. I want to blow my speakers with The America, but I have people living nearby, so..
@aiyanaNCC1701 Does "WHO GIVES A FUCK" ring a bell with any of you anal-retentive trivia NUTS? This is a masterpiece cover of a freakin' folk song !! Talk about THAT!
@LordBrockley " I am not happy about the rebirth of the Jesuits. Swarms of them will present themselves with more disguises ever taken by even a chief of the Bohemians - as printers, writers, school teachers, etc. If ever an association of people deserved eternal damnation, on this earth and in hell, it is this Society of Loyola (1816).
@LordBrockley This passage is from The Companions of Jehu--page 396--"You are ninnies! I have cheated all the time we've been playing, and you never found out. Those who lost can take their money back." Born and bred in the Catholic faith, Bonaparte had no preference for any dogma. When he re-established divine worship it was done as a political act, not as a religous one.
@LordBrockley A cover is always necessary. In concealment lies a great part of our strength. Hence we must always hide ourselves under the name of another society. --Die neusten ararbeiten des Spartacus and Philo in dem Illuminaten-Orden, 1794, p: 165
This is taken from page 491 of Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. 'Coincidentally' Umberto Eco has written the introduction to the newly printed version of Alexandre's The Count of Monte Christo.
