Stop with the capes...These guys are so much cooler without the capes.ok Wakeman,keep the cape.the rest of you just get an oversized black shirt or something...I love this band
Perfection! I love this song. I've never heard another band that is so tight and together as they are. So much talent in one band...............I love this song!
That is Rick Wakeman on Keyboards. I have seen them countless times and they are always great! But, YES without Jon Anderson is like Van Halen with out Eddie.
This is the ultimate rock band jam session with a complete arsenal of rhythm, texture, harmony and melody. Absolutely orgasmic! When do they return to the US?
Aside from the vocals, it shouldn't be too impossible. My band too is going to use this material, but only the first instrumental section, as part of a medley.
I was at the Yessongs tour in Minneapolis. MN in 72...73? and again for this tour in New Jersey. I have seen them original and mixed. I would go see this band anytime...in any form. They are timeless....only the best.
Absolutely brilliant and timeless. Lately, I have been replaying this video about every day. I'll never forget buying the Yes album Fragile when I was a young teen, and listening to this song over and over again. I loved it then and I love it now.
This song is one of the greatest compositions of all time, definetely Yes are gods of music, in the same way Mozart and Beethoven were in their time...who´s with me??
40 yrs of concert going, over 30 x seeing Yes since 1974. The Union tour, along with Yes Symphonic, among my top 10 concerts of all time (along with Pink Floyd -The Wall Live 1980.)
@Deadwing1107 I defenitively not ! I´m adoring a lot of yes compositions. In my opinion their are the first line in rock music ! But to compare them with composers who climbed the last step of evolutionary ladder!? I don´t think so ! By the way: This is awonderfull interpretation ( in my eyes)
@Deadwing1107 I agree that they are the finest composers but, this concert isn't at all a grasp of them. Everything was off. This concert sucked. I love YES and I am a great fan. They had a BAD GIG.
@Deadwing1107 this is why i am always amazed at the fact that bruford left because he didnt get to show his true talent, since his drumming for yes was 10x better than any drummer nowadays
For me personally, this is the greatest band ever and this the greatest piece of music ever performed on a stage. So glad to have seen them so often in their heyday. Awesome.
I tend to agree with you such an awsome band and such a great piece of work and this version is so excellent as well they are some of the best I had the pleasure of seeing back in thier heyday I saw them only 3 times back in the early 70s but I will always remember how good they were better then zep or rory gallahger or mahogany rush even deep purple and traffic lol yep Ive seen em all and lots more lol 100s more
This is absolutely awesome ! I got high for the first time listening to Fragile and now I just naturally atain the same high listening to there magic.
Big mistake stating this on youtube, and I've just called the police and they're on their way to your home. They mentioned something about a "mandatory cavity search". Not sure what that means, but it sounds kind of serious.
no he is high on music and he better comes to holland .we have no problemo,s here.my weet is almost ready to cut and dry.greatings from Wim.you better live fore love....
glad to see that Steve is being recognized for his creativity and unique sound instead of a speed demon hackmaster like most modern guiatrists...Prime example: look at youtube - how many speed demons technicians can you find on there? maybe too many? but not many truly unique guitarists
Sure wish the 72 line-up of these thug-pirates would go on 4ever as Yes. nuthin gainst anyone else from Yes, sure wish I could join the parade, as a Topographic float!? Last check I was a 1/3 of the size of the sun-rise. They said I was rather large 4 A wombat, I'll show THEm!
the wonderful thing about the band on this tour is these were guys trying to have fun considering the logistical nightmares.bill bruford and alan white complimented each other beautifully
NEW 70s YES LIVE 2-DVD SET! Many regard Live at Queens Park Rangers Stadium, 1975 as the best live recording of Yes in the 70s. Unbelievably it's almost impossible to find. Not anymore, now the MASSES of Yes fans can have easy access to this concert by checking out our new 2DVD set - Yes A Celebration, 1969-1979. It features many Yes videos from the 70s as well as Live at QPR 1975 with improved audio. Click on my profile for clips.
two guitars, two keyboardists, two drummers, you would think the song would get muddled. Not the case though. Howe, whoever that other guy is, Kaye, and Wakeman share the load wonderfully, but kudos to Alan White for letting Bill Bruford take center stage on this one, classic Bruford.
its amazing they could get all these guys together ...if this is possible why can't Genesis do the same with PB , surely his ego equates to only a few yes member's egos
if your a Genesis fan, you should check out 'the musical box' cover band on google. i saw them in toronto and belive me they are not small time cover gig. they do an amazing show including set design, costumes, instruments, note for note..and they tour all over the world. im too young to have seen genesis live but it seems like the next best thing. chek it out
