O BEHAVE YEAH BABY

[Wazabooz]

Yeah so it's lip synched - but the cross on Jon's pants makes it all worthwhile. And TAKE ME BACK IN TIME Chris Squire and marry me! I'm going to watch this over & over...

[leonakita]

wtf does jon anderson have a nazi cross on his package?

[GustavoVillarBatera]

@leonakita Dude, its not the Nazi Cross

Moron

[leonakita]

@GustavoVillarBatera looks like it to me

[GustavoVillarBatera]

@leonakita It's the picture of Vasco's da Gama ship flag.

A Portuguese colonialist, famous for going to India.

[leonakita]

@GustavoVillarBatera ty, much obliged... great clip of an awesome bands inception!... i didn't intend my comment disrespectful, my bad !

[drbassface]

Love It! They are Lip Syncing to their Track....Watch Bruford....LOVE YES!

[alfbey]

Hermosa cancion de YES

[aleczko]

fantastic quality as to times of Peter Banks!

[emilioroberts1]

I want to see a video of them ACTUALLY playing it live.

[muzboz]

Miming. Look at Bruford not even touching the drums. Hilarious. And that's an acoustic guitar on the track, but none on stage. Lolz.

Good tune.

[78rohan]

YES

[MitjaShi]

beautiful!

[Kingcaleb100]

I guess I'll be the one to make a joke about the 69,000 views? yes.

[alundavies2]

this is class

[mynorthensoul]

great play back haha

[JamesRobertSalter]

What you're hearing is alien consciousness . . . conveyed through moss and mushrooms . . .

[78rohan]

YES

[Gtrman42718]

Jon Anderson's Theme Song! Kind of like John Lennons "Imagine"

[holadonkey]

long before imagine and a hundred times better song.

[puddypuss]

this is so good to find. takes me back to when I first saw them in 1968 and this is just before pete banks " left " wakeman and howe are good in their own way, but this was a special era too.

[psssyche]

Wow. Thinspo or what. Very triggering.

[ogm32697]

This is my favorite yes song i have yet heard that is under 20 minutes long. Awesome song.

[TheLorienn]

wtf is the drummer doing^^, very funny indeed

[Peatman]

These old pretend-live performances (playing to the original recording) that you saw a lot of in the 60s and 70s are always hilarious when you watch the drummer and easily see that he's not really hitting anything. Bruford here seems to be very aware of this and might be exaggerating his moves out of protest? I'm sure they would all have preferred to play the song completely live.

[58icarus]

@whiterobin Ironic, isn't it, that though Wakeman ostensibly replaced Kaye to bring synths to Yes' music, it was Rick's Hammond work (Roundabout, Close to the Edge) that took them to their highest level. His solo on Close to the Edge rates as one of the all-time best in my book. Personally, I think it was the drive to use all the synth tones that often led to most of the "clutter" in the mix. Synths are good mostly in small doses. The heavy lifting :) is best done by Hammond-it's unparalleled.

[rudolfmusic]

Wow, Peter Banks on guitar. Bill with the mallets, awesome footage. Thanks! Great band/song/era. We're lucky.

[Ownzo]

So cool! Great message, timeless magic.

[DarksideOFcollages]

yes without anderson isn't real YES

[BohemianConspiracy]

@DarksideOFcollages not false... actually there's a second band who can be called Yes... the Anderson-Wakeman collaboration can be named Yes as well...

[trfesok]

When and where was this filmed?



[scitsalcoryp]

One their best songs..with a great message ...

Love it or Die...probably literally...

faster than sooner

[BohemianConspiracy]

they are so thin... squire and anderson are too thin... i understand that they were not yet rich...but i don't think they had a dictatorial manager (as half of the bands of that time)...i think that by mid 71 they had more money...and probably a little fater hehe

[Peatman]

@BohemianConspiracy Yeah, and this is before their "health food" phase haha! Squire especially seems to have made up a fair bit for being so skinny during those years.

[Mr8bitgamer]

holy shit thosepants look damn tight :D

[talafer54]

Wow, I have this vinyl, but the video is great!

[KillingLies1]

who plays the violins?

[petsounds75]

@KillingLies1 Session musicians contracted by the album's producer.

[Solpugid]

Sorry, doubters, but these guys were pretty much the best band happening at this time.  Sorry.

[Solpugid]

This song was filmed? Unbelievable!

[redpandagal]

A lovely song ! I always liked Tony and Peter!

[mikedrud]

Love how the bass come "boom" in there in the beginning.

[superaction95]

I love this song! its so true in many ways. Go yes!. hmmm is this a good song? Hmmm YES! hahahaha get it?

[auntbubba5302003]

this was my wedding song thankyou!

[MikeRes52]

Yes, i"m here, a 40 year fan since Junior high school, heard America, on a juke box

in pool hall in Brooklyn, New York

[sly74]

too bad it's not actually live



[dommosay1]

R;E Chris, I could be wrong,however it looks like a Fender!

[julyvalls]

@dommosay1 it´s a Fender!!!

[dommosay1]

@julyvalls I'm only going by the shape of the bass,but then again Chriss can do majic with anything!!

So good to hear from another YES Fan,(Were a lost and dieng breed)!

dommosay1@ comcast.net

[dual506]

What  the hell bass is Chris Squire playing? Weird.

I guess they are only miming.

[julyvalls]

Chris Squire make an amazing part here

[txikilin]

I want that look back. All those dressed in black get lost!!

[dommosay1]

I Still say,

These guy's are not "Human".

I've been playing guitar and Piano,since I have memory and I can't duplicate the slightest portion of there work!

dommosay1@comcast.net

[Ownzo]

I've never seen Chris Squire without a Rickenbacker. I like this era of Yes for its youthful idealism. They never really lost any idealism of course but this stuff is just bursting with love. Hope the world turns in that direction again.

[Minxiemouse]

Wondrous!

[christopauls]

This is my favorite lineup. Only Steve Howe is missing for me. Peter Banks does a gereat job though. I dont think Alun White come within a mile of Bill Bruford.

[dommosay1]

Is that really Bruford on that little Drum Kit!

[blutocampbell]

@dommosay1  yes

[darknessblackened]

amazing band ,timeless masters of the rock ,thanks totally bro, and fuckever the police and live forever the pirates.

[darknessblackened]

amazing band ,timeless masters of the rock ,thanks totally bro.

[Dblspace]

I love the Time & a Word section of the medley on Yesshows. Second to that is the ABWH version of the song live on video. Truly an inspirational little ditty!

[geotropis]

Yes

[rematpac]

Yes's 1st 2 albums,pre-Steve Howe,still haven't been recognized by the public for the greatness and total upheaval of music style they were.This was one of their worst early songs,I wonder if their really great early stuff was captured on video.

[ProcolHarum1967]

Looks like Tony stole Peter's beard.

[NilezII]

I hear definite Beatles influence in the early Yes.

[vinorama58]

Bruford was/is absolutely phenomenal. As a bassist, I can only dream of playing with a drummer of his musical ability.

[FlyingJunk]

Mr. Squire had the sweetest bass lines in rock.

[kentamundo]

Whoa, an ancient Yes music video, with Peter Banks even, unlike the Belgian videos which pretend that Steve Howe played on the songs. Bruford plays with mallets and obviously doesn't bother to try to match the backing track. There's no sign of the orchestra that Peter so fiercely hated.

Still trying to figure out what Jon is wearing around his crotch.

[tonusaitis]

I'm wondering why this picture quality from 1970 is better than videos that came out years later like Yessongs and Live in Philadelphia 1979.

The audio is off the studio album , right?

[TheChaNar]

@tonusaitis You´re correct about the quality of video from the ´70´s and that is because the makers focused on the subject and object...the group, which in this case is the incomparable Yes, and not on light shows and technology and so much other stuff which has nothing to do with the music and its makers. Nowadays we see and hear technology, with the music seemingly being secondary to the makers of music videos....and this term should say it all.....Music, first, then video.

[pooginmouse]

Chris without his signature Rickenbacker? Wow!

[javyerad]

EL VIDEO ES INCREIBLE JAMAS PENSE VER ESTE EXELENTE TEMA, ES GRANDIOSO.....

[oscar46147]

@javyerad si verdad como es posible que desde chavitos tengan esa habilidad musical verdad

[duff06]

bass is too loud, vox too quiet. amazing though!! i fucking love their image here.

[stuffedsonic]

This is incredibly good footage quality for 1970.

[skwid12]

sweet!!

[250knotduck]

I see that someone found the keys to the Wayback Machine. :) Excellent!

[Peatman]

This was back when a drummer could obviously not hit a single drum playing to a backing track and get away with it. Wow Bill!

[COPROENCEFALICO]

Playback!!!

[andreasegde]

They're playing to a backing track.

[levenshon]

One of the great Yes songs in my opinion.

[TheFred156]

Wow, I almost forgot this song and what a trip to see them all young again. I used to own a Telecaster bass but couldn't handle the weight, didn't know Chris could get his signature sound on such a deep sounding bass. I'll definitely buy this DVD but am not sure I'll ever strap on a Tele bass with my bad back. Thanks for posting this!

[BooeyHogue]

great song - terrible recording here.

[Jaws65]

Strange to see Chris with a Telecaster Bass.

[Bietel]

Tee hee.

Lipsync to the max :-) I hear a Rickenbacker bass of course, and there we see Mr Squire playing a Fender.

1:43 to 1:49 suggests some very cool left hand techniques, too...

Oh, and that acoustic guitar sound from an electric Rickenbacker guitar is priceless...

Still, I have ordered a copy of that DVD rightaway. Yes in this line-up has always been my favourite, and sure enough Peter Banks is a major reason (I remember discovering those Flash albums - wow!)

Good to see this!

[zappatx]

Pete Banks is the only one I've ever seen hold and play like that. Even today he still looks the same on stage (except no hair). Gotta be a cool one to hang with.

[fatlizzard]

@zappatx

I knew and played with Peter Banks on several occasions in the late 70's when he was living in L.A.

In my opinion Yes's best and most overlooked guitarist !!!

[connord12]

haha paul gilbert made an incredibly fast guitar lick from the keyboards to this song. its called paul gilbert speed build up or something rather if your intersted to see

[baco82]

my favourite yes period.

[druidkat7]

Goddess but I love this song! And Jon's vocals? ALWAYS pure cosmic wonderfulness! Time and a Word baby, YEAH! :-D

[MrNotbornyesterday]

Sheer magic. Thanks. Nice to see a great drummer like Bruford looking like a complete twat.......

[blackhamster1009]

Look at Bill Bruford, you can tell that he's "lipsinking"

[SuperGogetem]

Very melodic. The end is sort of ala "Hey Jude"

[zappatx]

See John Andersons Czech Sister. Search Watch this video in a new windowMarie Rottrová - The House that Jack Built (Live 1969)

[drunksingsheep]

0:26 there I just saved you a valuable 26 seconds. JHC!

[pewsterbaby]

Yeah, the black & white Looking Around and Survival from the same session as the well circulated No Opportunity woulda been primo. Anderson's olive velvet pants are far out. I need a pair of those.

[zappatx]

Could someone PLEASE put the Survival version of this on here??? Cant wait to hear Kays work on that one.

[BlackHoleSun1921]

Boy, Peter Banks got the short end of the stick, didn't he?

[julyvalls]

I don´t Hear Peter Banks guitar

[AsiaPhoenix2008]

Peter Banks once said that it's actually David Foster playing on the recording of "Time and a Word".

[blutocampbell]

@julyvalls I can hear it

[oliasdoug]

I could give a shit less if this is lip-synched. This is The Greatest Progressive Rock Band Of All Time & it's cool to see a clip of them from 39 years ago.

[karlmoles65]

OMFG AMAZING

[zappatx]

Wow!! It's great to see peter and tony in this capacity. Such a shame peter didnt go on. His style was a PUSH into different areas.

[ontherush77]

He's good but Steve is the shit.

[Blipponex]

Great Chris Squire. From 1:02 a few notes and the right ones!

[kiskte]

Thanks for posting it.

Greetings from Hungary.

[balukaaaa91]

csatlakozom ;-D

[AsiaPhoenix2008]

Some of the comments here are on Voiceprint's newspage. I read on Bondegezou that there are plans to release a DVD of the outdoor mimed videos of the Anderson Bruford Howe Kaye Squire lineup that were used to promote TIME AND A WORD.

[fagnanno]

One of their best songs.

[starkmeister2]

remarkable that some of these same guys were going to create close to the edge. cool footage btw! ive never seen it

[58icarus]

@starkmeister2 Without Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman, they weren't. This video should be proof enough of that.

[Ghoopty]

@58icarus I disagree.....Certainly they did great things with Howe and Wakeman, but this is my favorite Yes album because it isn't overblown and pretentious, and it captures them at a point where they were still searching for a sound. It's kinda charming and interesting because of that.

[58icarus]

@Ghoopty You disagree that this lineup would not have gone on to produce "Close to the Edge"? Surely you're joking. Or you completely misinterpreted my post - whether or not they were enjoyable had nothing to do with it. Further, I don't know what is pretentious about the result of a guitarist with the superior talent of Squire playing off of an equally talented guitarist like Howe. That's what set Yes apart from the crowd on The Yes Album. Banks here, by contrast, is thoroughly pedestrian.

[Ghoopty]

@58icarus Well, I'll tell ya....one listen to Tales From Topographic Oceans illustrates what pretentiousness and a lack of focus can do. Yes, Steve Howe is an awesome guitarist, and Squire is a great bassist with an amazingly high singing range, but just because one has immense technical ability doesn't necessarily mean they can write engaging material (i.e. most of today's prog-rock). This line-up may not have been able to envision or realize Close To The Edge...honestly, it's all speculation.

[58icarus]

@Ghoopty Now we're getting somewhere. Tales is a good illustration. I don't know of any bands who haven't, at some point, put out material that fails to engage or entertain. Yes is no exception. But back to the original post: the idea that Close to the Edge would not have occured with the Time and a Word lineup. The video here illustrates a completely different direction. How you can argue with that, I don't know.

[Ghoopty]

@58icarus Yeh, I misunderstood your first post...I thought you meant that without Howe & Wakeman, they weren't a band, which I had to take exception to. But you're probably right. I personally wonder what this lineup would have done past 1971; I'm probably in the minority there. Most people don't care - the accepted critical opinion is that Yes went on to produce their best work, and I agree that Fragile and Close To The Edge are great, but there's just something to this album that I love.

[58icarus]

@Ghoopty Glad we've cleared that up. One of my top favorite albums is The Yes Album, and of course it features the same Tony Kaye that appears here. Similarly, I've wondered what Yes would have gone on to do had he stayed in the lineup a little longer. Cheers.

[CatapultYourMom]

@58icarus Have you ever heard the BBC recordings? They make a mockery of your claim.

[CatapultYourMom]

@starkmeister2 This is better than Close To The Edge.

[dasdrums]

This a awesome. Love seeing footage I've never seen before after all these years. Wish they would release the promos on DVD that were shot for the Time and a Word LP. They were pretty cool. Have seen boots of them,but would be nice to have a good copy on DVD.

[thedave54]

Bruford & Squire..what a great rhythm section !

[oriza2]

surely, when they play I want to take my brains out and push up my ass.

geniuses.

(especially in this period.)

[Aye90125]

More More More I NEED MORE

More please MORE.

Peter Banks soooo darn underrated.

(don't get me wrong - Steve Howe IS the man, but Peter IS GREAT)

More MORE MORE

The world needs - not love... MORE OF THIS BAND (Well, love too, I suppose)

[carrietide]

Absolutely BRILLIANT...so young and fresh....

[Joker133706]

125% (YES) 25 years ahead of its time, YES EU is still a musical influence on me and many others its a wonderful musician!

[johnfearon]

they are lip-syncing / mimming along to the music in this video - still great to see though

[aureliosjc]

Great image, funny playback..because where was the orchestra?hahaha

[ricardomt]

Just amazing to be able to see this after 40 years with such an awesome quality... Can't wait to put my hands on this DVD, it will be a very nice company for all the other Yes DVDs. And YES, playback with no shame. Looks like Chris' bass is not even hooked up, but they are all having a very good time...

[castordaudt]

Playback with no shame...Bruford plays with the wrong sticks and keep smiling all the time...good images though...

[MinuetEnSol]

LOL, it´s obvious nobody in the band took the shooting very seriously. On most of the cymbal strokes, Bill is not even touching the cymbals with the mallets. And Tony plays the hammond even while there´s no organ for half of the song.

[JohnnyGoliath]

Freakin' Fantastic!

Damn but the guys are kids.

5 Stars.

Earl Grey

[TheGatesofDelirium]

Early boy, what a treat seeing them in their early days in a very rare footage like that. AMAZING!!!

Take care, brother!

Omar

[rockahead]

Yes amazing band then and now of course but this really is exciting stuff from the early days as everyone will see when the DVD comes out. The 1969 footage is a real find

[delwatts]

The more times I listen the more I enjoy it total brilliance and good grief they were so young.
