Great stuff - thanks for posting

I shared this faux to my friends you little man.No Jon NO Yes!

[RRgoalie37]

Yes's sound is too unique. Especially the singing. such a unique voice cannot be duplicated

[escomments]

Butchering one of the greatest songs ever written. Even if it is Wakeman's band. The shredding Guitar is terrible and shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near this. The vocals are all out of sync and equally sucked.

Don't try this at home folks.

[duggandeep]

um...that is Jon Anderson singing - and this track is of "Going for the One" album - sometime in mid-later 70's.

@duggandeep

It is most certainly not at all Jon Anderson ... in fact it is not YES>

Since when did Jon Anderson sing like a Dream Theater?

[tokaicarl]

@ChordCluster sounds like bruce dickinson out of iron maiden singing !!!

[kennywowie]

@duggandeep jeeze, what dungeon did you crawl out of? My 83 year old Mother could tell this isn't YES.

[Mak9163]

Espectacular Gracias YES por existir !!!

[rodrico50]

Past a mortal as we, here we can be

[carrietide]

Well ,at least it is Rick playing!!!No harp,no Jon,but it is credible

[nignog87]

I can't believe where they ended this Song....Crazy.

[CrystalVision7]

Sorry, this is one song that can't be duplicated by others.

Only the original can work for this. Good effort though.

[RRgoalie37]

@CrystalVision7 Strongly agree

[daveoxton]

Sorry for the confusion I seem to have caused here... this is NOT Yes but is instead Rick Wakeman from his "The Ultimate Rick Wakeman Experience" solo CD. It is not Jon Anderson singing neither is it Steve Howe on guitar. The musicians on the CD are not credited so I have no way of knowing who they are but an enlightened guess would be some of his friends from The English Rock Ensemble. I hope this will clear up some of the confusion!

[Signaltonoise]

Not a patch on the original. When the vocals came in I had to stop the video. This song is supposed to be melodic and comforting to the ears. Those vocals were like a razor blade on glass - they hurt my ears.

[stiltskin1]

Hang about - it's yes music, it's not Yes playing!! Who is this doing lead vocals?? Also who's that on guitar?? Certainly not Jon Anderson or Steve Howe!!

Sounds like Wakeman keyboards though....can anyone enlighten me?

[daveoxton]

The track is taken from "The Ultimate Rick Wakeman Experience" CD which is a wierd collection of Ricks solo work but alas all the musicians are uncredited... maybe some friends from The English Rock Ensemble but that would just be me guessing.

[Samadhijunkie]

YES....Great video.. tastefully done, thanx

[kautokeine]

Thanks for your answer ! David Attenborough's reference is very useful. You have made a beautiful clip.

[1nessism]

agreed, my friend!

[yestopographic73]

Does anybody know title of the movie used for this clip ? Thanks

[daveoxton]

sorry i dont know what the film i used here is and i dont remember where i got it from although i think it maybe footage from one of david attenborough's life on earth things... i just thought the music and film went so well and thought i would share

[stiltskin1]

Dave - sorry to have to tell you this, but it's not Yes playing! It may well be Wakeman but the guitars and vocals are all wrong - definitely not Jon Anderson or Steve Howe. The Orchestration is different too. Is this lifted from a solo Wakeman work? Where did you get this from?

[daveoxton]

Yes I know it isn't Yes ... it is Rick Wakeman from his "The Ultimate Rick Wakeman Experience" solo compilation CD.

[stamatis53]

The music is Yes with Awaken from their album Going for the One (1977).

[stiltskin1]

No it's not from Going for the One - because it isn't Jon, Steve or Chris playing!! It isn't Yes, but I'll grant you whoever it is has done a fair job -
