Cool. It ain't the original, but this cool too. "Fish Out Of Water" and "Olias" are the best YES solo records, hands down. My two little girls love "Lucky Seven". Is this Conspiracy?

Look at how thin the neck of his bass is!! Incredible; after all those years of shaving and repairing the fret board the neck looks like it could snap. I'm sure it's reduced the weight of the Rick and that's why he can hold it up with one hand after performances! Rock on, Chris.
Man, now that we see he can sing lead it'd be cool to hear Chris and Geddy change places for a month... can you imagine Geddy Lee groovin with YES while Chris is threading the bass between Lerxst and the Professor in RUSH?
@lastdaysguitar That would be pretty damn cool! I would love to have heard Yes with a different singer at some point, no offense to Jon Anderson I love ALL of Yes, but sometimes I would have liked to hear their musical approach with a different singer while they had everyone else amazing in the band. Or Jon Anderson still in, but not singing just his amazing ideas. Imagine if Yes was to have made an album with Greg Lake on vocals?! Honestly I do not think much could beat that!!!
@heykyleinsf ... This was not performed for an audience. For his Conspiracy project with Billy Sherwood, they recorded a performance in the studio for DVD.
This is a great song, Chris is a wonderful singer, and superb bass player. The more I see Billy S, my respect grows for him. TheBlackCock1's twisted and blind comments about Mr. Squires teeth should be ignored as an ignorant waste of space.
@TheBlackCock1 You certainly do have a right to your opinions, but you can't go around communicating them in such an insulting manner and not expect negative feedback from fans of Chris Squire. When I met Chris he most certainly had all of his teeth, and it wouldn't matter if he didn't, seeing as it's his bass playing and musicianship I, and other reasonable human beings, pay attention to. P.S Suicide's an option you ignorant fuck haha
Hey cock, t was just a metal boggy I think, just don`t mind! Its very very cool to see this the first time, a 'Hold Out Your Hand/You By My Side' recording from 2007! Sensational to me!
thats probably the lowest fucking thing i have ever seen on the internet. Chris is in his 60's. Youre disgusting for making that comment. Your profile name speaks for itself. Loser!
Squire was the backing vocalist that went largely unappreciated but helped Jon Anderson to soar with Yes. Give another listen to all that Yes. The harmonizing with Anderson is Squire. Enjoy.
I always liked Chris' lead vocals on his Fish Out Of water album. Jon has 'the Yes voice' of course but it's Chris' harmonies that give the body to a lot of the recordings... what was that DVD where you see some in-the-studio recording of Going For The One - bizarre countermelodies from Mr Squire, and he sings them while playing not-too-easy bass parts too.
Sherwood and Squire rocks !...their work together in the both Conspiracy albums were so superb....Chris should input more tunes for a new Yes album together with Howe and White...I hate to say what I am about to, but Yes need to get rid a little of Jon's "new aggie" and "polyann" rythms. Don't get me wrong I love Jon, but his latest inlfuences in the latest Yes albums led the band away from their proggie roots.
Maybe a true testament to a players influence is how deeply they touch others, especially those who are inspired by their playing and presence that they take up the instrument. There isn't a performance or session that I play that isn't informed by this hero of mine. Thank you Chris Squire for making my musical life richer and thanks to the poster for brightening my day/week.
One of the most amazing voices on the planet indeed. Chris is publicly critical of his voice as he ages, but listen to his newest stuff and all of the grandeur is intact, and still as majestic as ever....
now Chris, since I've pumped you up howzabout that new solo album.....
Well, it has decreased a bit since the 70's, but it still has plenty of power behind it. Wish his bass sounded a bit stronger, though. But it still rocks! No hate mail.
When the members of Yes decided to all make solo albums in 70 something (or was it 80), Fish Out of Water stood out as a truly exceptional album. But also noteworthy was was Howe's Beginnings. And Patrick Moraz's i was stellar, but still my favorite was Alan White's Ramshackled album. It was so out of character for a player from Yes yet a very nice album.
Great singer and player Chris is ,now isnt he!.He and John Entwhisle brought the treble out in many of us.Almost every self respecting bassist ,owns or has owned a Ric in their life.after a P and a Jazz then ...Rickenbacker.
In the 70s you could do something majestic like 'you by my side' and not be summarily dissed by the critics. I still love this entire album, and the pipe organ and arrangements by Price-Jackman are well-done and tasteful.
I think Chris is the greatest prog rock bassist of all time - but there are a lot of incredible bassists out there who are in a completely different league.
"fish out of water" was truly an uncanny , brilliant and original album from the stable of when prog was actually hip. brilliant writing and arrangements and musicians , Patrick, Bill , Mel, Jimmy and Barry, with chris. what a line up! what a time! BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!
We were all getting high. Everyone. Teachers. Cops. Parents. Everyone. We were all watching some new show that started a few weeks ago. It's called Saturday Night Live. Pretty funny stuff. They're breakin all the rules. That Chevy Chase is a funny guy. Oh yeah, we're all listen to Chris Squires new album and it blows Relayer out of the water. Great album. Great Prog. It's almost a shame the bulk of his work had been in collaboration instead of solo. Either way, great album Fish!
It's a Ric 4 string model with a neck and "covered" bridge pickup....probably an older Ric bass.....maybe?? Might be a custom shop model but I doubt it.....no one has used the "covered" bridge setup for eons........since the 30's or 40's in regular manufacture ( Ric Guitars have been around for more than a century...keep that in mind). It's a good question.
that's cos the modern Ric pickup covers since the 70's are purely cosmetic and made of plastic. The older ones such as the one in the video are made of metal and are actually part of the pickup magnet and are needed to fucntion.
@AccousticBuilder I know the comment is 2 years old, but anyway -- Squire's Ric is an RM1999 from 1965. It was a budget version of the 4001 series, he bought it as a teenager from the music shop he worked in, modded it and refinished it to its unique yellow cream color, including sanding it thinner than stock. The pickup cover was standard and still used on many rics and other basses to this day.
Remember hearing this for the first time on Holloween 1977.. I was so moved by the orchestration and dynamics... It became clear to me on You by My Side, that Chris Squire was the musical master and backbone of Yes.. He used much of his own material for the band as a whole.
Also, the lyrics to You By my side are very profound in my opinion... "Everything is As it Appears to be So" "I'm not the only one reaching for a new kind of wealth"
This comes fron the "70's solo album Fish Out Of Water. After the YES Relayer album they all came out with solo albums. This one did well as did Jon Anderson's Olias of Sunhillow. Steve Howe had Beginnings, Alan White had Rumblefish and Patrick Moraz had I.
It's all Chris init? Seeing and hearing him other than with Jon at his side is like witnessing an adultery of sorts. The guys in his chosen band are good but will always be on a bit of a loser.Chris seems to be bit ahead all the time.Made the Rickenbacker 4001 his signature sound along with perfect timing.About time the musical world gave him a medal.Don't wait until he's dead.Chris is a top bloke and a foundation.We need foundations or our houses would never grow.Sorry to witter on
Write it Chris, Sing it Chris, Play it Chris, Slap that little Beotch Jon - Chris, Eat sum Gumbo Chris, Tour the world Chris, Eat Clam Chowder Chris...
Sing it Chris! Play it Chris! This is one of the most beautiful songs/albums I've ever heard. I knew this song was complex, but watching him play and sing it just shows me just how much more complex it was than I thought. GET DOWN CHRIS!!!
i discovered this solo album in my fathers old cd collection and i must admit i am quite pleased with it, but then again im very pleased with all of the yes works since their my favorite band of all time!!! lol
Does anybody know who the other musicians are (Sherwood apart) ?
Bruford and Moraz were SO good on "Fish out of water"! IMHO, with that line-up it can be considered a Yes album in its own right. My favourite, actually.
hello, they had downloaded from the site of billy (cospiracy). 7 songs were videos. now there are no more. 4 I have them published. if you want to download them from you tube are also other 3.me think that they can not be marketed.
Can't believe I just listened to a 9 min song twice consecutively. Always loved these songs but they're now more complete with Billy's guitar. I must have this playing in my car! Where can I find it?
Thanks for replying, but that's not where you'd find this version. This is a newer version that apparently was not released. I have the original 1975 record and yes it is indeed fantastic.
Thanks very much for replying, but that's not where you'd find this version. This is a newer recording with Billy Sherwood that apparently wasn't released. I do have the original record and yes it is indeed fantastic.
Great song, i prefer bruford´s drum sound but this version is amazing also. A great hug for you Chris and we hope you can come on tour with Yes to Perú again.
la ultima vez fue el 2001, Jon nderson vino en su Solo Tour en 2006, Steve Howe tambien vino pero como parte de la formacion clasica de Asia en el Tour por el 25 aniversario de Asia, ellos estan haciendo un tour ahora mismo pero con un reemplazo temporal de Jon Anderson, quien esta reuperandose de una infeccion a la garganta o algo asi, espero que el proximo año vengan, aca se habla mucho de Iron Maiden y Kiss, pero lo que realmente espero es que venga algun dia Yes para verlos en vivo
Thanks Chris! and thanks to everyone involved in making this performance happen! I've been listening to Fish Out Of Water for years and years, and I thought everyone's forgotten all about these amazing songs! For me, this truly captures the spirit of the original recording. Stellar performance guys!!
This was one of the pinnacles of my life as a keyboard player. Getting to play Andrew Jackman's organ parts and the piano on "You By My Side" was an absolutely breathtaking experience! MS
And it was brilliantly done. I love the keyboard work on Hold Out YOur Hand. And if I am not mistaken, Billy played the Rhodes part on guitar. Great rhytmic interplay. Congratulations and thank you for the Music.

hello, they had downloaded from the site of billy (cospiracy). 7 songs were videos. now there are no more. 4 I have them published. if you want to download them from you tube are also other 3.me think that they can not be marketed.

Can't believe I just listened to a 9 min song twice consecutively. Always loved these songs but they're now more complete with Billy's guitar. I must have this playing in my car! Where can I find it?

this song is from his 1975 solo album "Fish Out of Water" It was a damn good LP. Easy enough to find on Amazon and other places.

Thanks for replying, but that's not where you'd find this version. This is a newer version that apparently was not released. I have the original 1975 record and yes it is indeed fantastic.

Thanks very much for replying, but that's not where you'd find this version. This is a newer recording with Billy Sherwood that apparently wasn't released. I do have the original record and yes it is indeed fantastic.

Great song, i prefer bruford´s drum sound but this version is amazing also. A great hug for you Chris and we hope you can come on tour with Yes to Perú again.

la ultima vez fue el 2001, Jon nderson vino en su Solo Tour en 2006, Steve Howe tambien vino pero como parte de la formacion clasica de Asia en el Tour por el 25 aniversario de Asia, ellos estan haciendo un tour ahora mismo pero con un reemplazo temporal de Jon Anderson, quien esta reuperandose de una infeccion a la garganta o algo asi, espero que el proximo año vengan, aca se habla mucho de Iron Maiden y Kiss, pero lo que realmente espero es que venga algun dia Yes para verlos en vivo

Thanks Chris! and thanks to everyone involved in making this performance happen! I've been listening to Fish Out Of Water for years and years, and I thought everyone's forgotten all about these amazing songs! For me, this truly captures the spirit of the original recording. Stellar performance guys!!

Sweet, but Sherwood's voice and guitar work should be lower in the mix as it is distracting to say the least =/

I must learn to play every note of this.
Miguelbass, thank you for bringing this wonderful music back to me.

This was one of the pinnacles of my life as a keyboard player. Getting to play Andrew Jackman's organ parts and the piano on "You By My Side" was an absolutely breathtaking experience! MS

And it was brilliantly done. I love the keyboard work on Hold Out YOur Hand. And if I am not mistaken, Billy played the Rhodes part on guitar. Great rhytmic interplay. Congratulations and thank you for the Music.

This is why Chris Squire is important. He makes the electric bass guitar sound like a voice, something that can talk. Every note is a speech.
