Brilliant collaboration. Great musicians and a well put together video as well.

[AnnieCanada]

Sorry for your loss! This is an amazing Collaboration, just fantastic work from all involved! Top to bottom, this video Rocks!

[maccafan10]

Nice dedication. We all know what it is like to lose friends (and family).

[skinboneybud]

Awesome guys. Really good

[Rikk303]

So sorry to hear of your loss...on my mothers' b'day as well. A sad but memorable date as a result. Mum died 11 years ago, still wipes me out now and again. The penalty of love.

[ward1957]

OoOh this is sweet...love Yes....beautiful tribute...:) ♥ 

[garotobraun]

Sagenhaft Uwe, höre kein Unterschied zum Orginal, einfach perfekt.

[GeorgiosZaimis]

Incredible collaboration, guys! All of you have an excellent performance! Congratulations!

[TheDrumChannel]

Sorry to hear about your friend - We lost one here too on or about the same day in 2010. This video is outstanding. Great music you all are playing here - I'm glad you all decided to bring it to life. Love the playing and all of the video behind the video - Great job Richie - great sound too! Close your eyes and it's YES!

[rushyeskansas]

@TheDrumChannel: Joe, I know who you are talking about, Rob, a great musician and as it seems a very nice person, too. Unfortunately I didn´t have the opportunity to get to know him but his videos on YT are fabulous. He was one of the pioneers of Cover-Collabs and also because of him, we are doing this here today ... R.I.P. Zodiakironfist!

I am glad you liked our humble tribute. And concerning to video editing, man, you are my idole, but by far not reached yet. THANX my friend!

[senn416]

HOLY SMOKES! What a fantastic collaboration. Outstanding musicianship all around. The video is extremely well done and beautifully edited. GREAT JOB!!!

[rushyeskansas]

@senn416: Gerald. I still remember, when you told me the first time about Tim, and his Anderson-like voice, there I already had this song in my mind, and here we go, we made it. Thanks for your support my friend, your judgment means a lot to me.

[senn416]

@rushyeskansas Oh yes, I forgot that I sort of "introduced" you to Tim and his magical voice didn't I? haha. Well, you certainly pulled it off!! Great collab here. Just great! You really did an excellent job on the video too. You are a man of too many talents!!

[Donn713]

Wow Richie, I always loved this song and it sounds fantastic. Actually that doesn't surprise me considering all the talented guys who contributed to it. Bravo to all. Great job on the video work too my friend. The changes looked cool and this was fun to watch. Now I gotta play it again louder. :)

[rushyeskansas]

@Donn713: Donn, I always dreamed about to play one day this song with my band. It never worked out, so at least I could do it here with a great team, like you already mentioned. Well, and the video ... nobody else raised the hand :)))) so I finally had to learn how to deal with Vegas. Thanks my friend for taking the time to watch.

[17drums]

First of Rich, allow me to express my condolences on the loss of your friend. What a great way to pay tribute to him! Next, what can I say but, FANTASTIC JOB! That goes for EVERYONE playing, naturally, but also to your video work. LOVE the graphics and Firebird Suite background intro and credits. I had seen Tom and Dave's excellent cover before, but making it a full collab (with C and you on keys) just gives it even greater depth! Brilliant, guys! Congrats!

[rushyeskansas]

@17drums: Dave, you are an excellent prog drummer yourself and your valuation is very high rated, we appreciate it very much. Thank you for the condolences, yeah my friend was a big rock music fan, even without playing any instrument, he just loved to PLAY IT LOUD! :))) ... Thanx also for taking your time to watch our little tribute!

[PDXguitarfreak]

That was amazing Richie - you guys sounded so good! Would love to do Owner of Lonely Heart someday. Rock on! Dave

[rushyeskansas]

@PDXguitarfreak: thank you Dave, I am still miles away from your and Joe's video editing skills, but at least ... this was a beginning, glad you liked it.

[jogviolin]

Great video/audio editing as well as all individual performances. Congratulations to everyone!!

[rushyeskansas]

@jogviolin: Jorge my friend, unfortunately this song doesn't have a violin, or i would have invited you :))) thanx for the nice comment!

[Cast412]

@Delgift My Bad.. Thanks for letting me know. Still a really tough cover and all of you nailed it!

[maks3254]

Great job on the cover and in designing of video!

[rushyeskansas]

@maks3254: thanx Maks, actually this was my first video editing for a collab, glad you enjoyed.

[TaffmanGuyo]

Love the concept, love the music, rock on progressively!

[rushyeskansas]

@TaffmanGuyo: Thanks man, we appreciate your comment!

[MRWSSHORTY]

Wow, awesome! What can I say, these Collabs are so damn good and all of you did a great job! To play a YES song is really not so easy, but you did it as the band did! I only saw them one time, but it is an outstanding band, as you! Great men! And I'm really impressed by the voice, close your eyes and you see JON ANDERSON! ALL of you are outstanding!

All the best for you all from Cologne / Germany

Lothar as ELPI

[rushyeskansas]

@MRWSSHORTY: DANKE SEHR LOTHAR, in deed YES is a hard to cover, not just because of the instrumental skills of the musicians. YES were always pioneers in reaching new levels of sound quality and production ... This album was produced 1980 by Eddy Offord (ELP, DIXIE DREGS) and Trevor Horn, who is one of the most successful producers of the 80s and 90s (Grammy Award 1995 for producing Seal "kiss from a rose") ... so it´s very flattering to be at least rudimentally compared with our big idols.

[placidian]

Awesome job with the song and the video production! =)

[rushyeskansas]

@placidian: thank you very much for the nice comment.

[69lucyfer]

Thanks to all of you guys. This is an amazing project! This song is wonderful and also so difficult to play and you created a perfect cover!

[rushyeskansas]

@69lucyfer: Mille Grazie Francesca!

[rushyeskansas]

@WishpoolVocal: Al, In fact, I am very proud of all my projects on YT, because I had always the possibility to work with excellent musicians. And every time I am learning something to be better on the next one. So without our Kansas Tributes I wouldn´t have even thought I would be able to do something like this. Thank YOU and all the other friends of our Kansas Team for this opportunity!

[Shewolfen]

wow the video th perfromances, just absolutely outstanding, well done!!!

[rushyeskansas]

@Shewolfen: Thank you for the compliments!

[rushyeskansas]

@Delgift: :))))))

[rushyeskansas]

@Delgift: C, you are very welcome, was my pleasure to have you in the boat ... It rocks, because YOU ROCK! I am a guitarist too and I know how difficult it is to do justice to Steve Howe's playing ... I admit, I couldn´t have done it ... seriously! Flawless performance, THANK YOU my friend!

[ttomsdw]

@rushyeskansas Ditto on that one. C is truly an amazing guitarist - and what kills me is that we are so old and he is so young!! LOL!!

-TG

[rushyeskansas]

@ttomsdw; Tom, I almost forgot about my age, watching this ... did you have to remind me of it now? ... but you are right, he is the future and we are alreay nearly the past ... but we still can have fun like the "youngsters", can´t we? ... LOL!

[bayhill72]

WOW!

[rushyeskansas]

@bayhill72: THANX!!! :))))

[dgcmusi]

I have always liked this album....You guys nailed it !!

[rushyeskansas]

@dgcmusi: thanks a lot David, good to hear that you liked it. The drama album is also one of my favorites, even without Anderson and Wakeman ...

[rushyeskansas]

@Delgift: Yes C is right, Geoff Downes (ASIA) was the keyboardist on the Drama album and IS actually the current keyboardist of YES too. Maybe his playing might not be that striking as Wakeman´s but this doesn't make him inferior to Wakeman. Downes was always more a "band man" than a soloist. I admire them both!

[stratocasterbob]

Amazing Video ! Its impossible to exactly reproduce music as complex and intricate as YES, but I don't know how anyone could have done this any better ! Everyone is spot on. Kudos to you all for the fantastic music! The mix is perfect ! Wow !

[ttomsdw]

@stratocasterbob Thanks Bob!! Really appreciate the nice comment.

Tom

[rushyeskansas]

@stratocasterbob: Bob, thanx man, this was a wonderful compliment for us, especially coming from an authority as you are!

[TJH3113]

Probably my favorite YES song as well. Sounds great.

[rushyeskansas]

@TJH3113: Thank you soo much Troy ... your comments are always greatly appreciated!

[sticksbass]

theres only a few yes songs i know of that i really like, which are the more popular ones, but you all did really great covering this.

[rushyeskansas]

@sticksbass: Thanx man, with me it's the other way round, I mostly prefer the lesser known songs :)))

[ProgMom67]

Fantastic. I loved it! Couldn't have been better guys :)

[rushyeskansas]

@ProgMom67: Thank you Julie, we really feel flattered about your comment.

[docproc11]

Wow I've not heard this song for ages. Great job guys & great video.

[rushyeskansas]

@docproc11: Steve, you know, I am your fan since a long time, and I feel honored about your nice comment Thank you so much!

[Fish260258]

Très bel hommage!..Great.

[rushyeskansas]

@Fish260258: Merci bien pour le commentaire Fish!

[ttomsdw]

@yea78861 The same goes for us, Tim. Without the vocals this song is nothing.

-Tom

[TheCheezMusic]

You guys are simply the kings of progressive rock-tube !!!

[rushyeskansas]

@TheCheezMusic: thank you Cheez, wow, I really hope we deserve this title :)))) but knowing that you are a big Yes fan too and yourself an excellent "Collaborator" (Ermm .. this sounds suspicious!!! ... LOL .. you know what i mean) ... really makes me wanna believe that we deserve it. :))))

[ttomsdw]

@TheCheezMusic Cheez - You are right up there with the "Prog Royalty Kindom" as well!!!

-TG

[sistermoonshine13]

WOW this is AWESOME Richie!!! APPLAUDING!!!!!

[sistermoonshine13]

@rushyeskansas SMILES :))))

[BumDog2112]

First off, condoleces for you your friend..... Tim and I spoke on the phone a few weeks ago and he told me about this project. He told me it was going to be amazing. Well, it has far exceded the definition of amazing! Nice job guys!

[BumDog2112]

@BumDog2112 Stupid fat fingers!!! Tom, not Tim......

[ttomsdw]

@BumDog2112 LOLOLOL!!!

[rushyeskansas]

@BumDog2112 :Shawn, thank you for the condolences and the kind words about our Cover. You already knew Tom and C very well from your projects, which I really admire very much. So you knew, that they wouldn´t let you down. But it´s always better to exceed the expectations :))))

[cc6809]

The kind of music hardest to render a decent homage to... awesome work all!

[rushyeskansas]

@cc6809: Thank you, we hope we did justice to the song and the band.

[tinman3012]

Beautiful job by everyone on this team. Sounds fantastic! Richie, I'm sure you had your hands full doing both audio & vid. Turned out really nice!

[rushyeskansas]

@tinman3012: Well Ron, you already know me, I always try to give my best. Doing audio AND video was a completely new and time-robbing experience. But I had to make it :)))) yes, you are right, this gave me dozens of sleepless nights ... you bet! Thanks for your comment my friend.

[SteveBDrums]

Outstanding work by all involved! Very fine video work too! Bravo to all! :)

[rushyeskansas]

@SteveBDrums: Thank you Steve, in the name of all!
