Makes me wanna get a Gibson ES175...but I course I cant make it sound as good....ha. Howe is so under rated when the great British or any guitarists of that era are mentioned. Check out a Ritchie Blackmore solo and u might say the same thing.
When we listened to the music at the time and liked it, we didn't realise the musicians were committing a political crime by being able to play their instruments well.

steve howe not in top form in this cut....no doubt the reason why this take didnt make the yessongs album. chris squire showing why he's the greatest bassist of all time...no offense to tony levin
it WAS too loud back in those days..I sat right up in front for the Tales from Topographic Oceans tour and twice up-front on the Relayer tour (with Patrick Moraz) and I about went stone cold psycho Deaf from the experience (s)..memorable yes but way too loud for ordinary human ears.
"pointless displays of technical expertise" - they used to get slammed by the rockmusic critics for this kind of jamming/thing, I could not agree with that mode of expression or criticsism - I absolutely LOVED 'YES' and their jams are unfucking unbelievable; the only thing i might add is that Steve Howe as a soloist was apt to play too loud

Im sorry I really cant stand Alan Whites playing on the older Live stuff...(Yessongs). I do like his playiing on Tales, but wish it had been Bruford playing Tales instead... but then we wouldnt have had those awesome Crimson albums with him. Just MHO
@CraftyGtrist True, but you're forgetting UK and the Bruford albums as well. Wherever he played, it made the band gel so well. One of the greatest ever
This sound and looks so much better than the Yessongs movie. I hope much more of this show surfaces. Some great playing by Howe, stepping out of form here. Love it.

Genises, de fato, abrilhantou o cenário nos anos de 1970, mas o P Floyd criou uma aurea que começa com o "Umaguma" e de certa forma continua até os dias de hoje. É bem verdade que nem tudo do Floyd tem a qualidade; tem coisas bem bizarras.

when I look back in time it was one of the first songs from YES I did learn to know. the whole record was a gas and I still do love it. they´d grown out of their shoes but hadn´t yet fallen into gigantenism. that´s what makes it so authentic and unique. oh man if I just would´ve been more than just a small boy living in a small village at that time!!!
@jeromejoh12 Paul Newman never won an Oscar while much lesser actors have won 3!!!! Halls of Fame are designed by buffoons to make a trap for fools!!!!!!!!!!
It started off a bit tentatively but once it got going it was great. Steve Howe's playing is fantastic and makes me want to practise ( which I rarely do). He's inspirational and the band are one of the best prog-rock bands ever!!
@alfredo4485 Sem dúvida. Foram e serão os melhores. Duvido que apareça algo assim no futuro. Como Beethoven, Mozart e os clássicos, foi uma época que não voltará.

Has always been my favorite track on Yessongs. Howe is without question one of the great guitarists. Hard to believe Rolling Stone just released the "100 Best Guitarists" and he isn't on the list!
@whitmoredave Good grief, really? He's not in the best 100? He should be in the top 10. Nobody ever played like Howe before or since - he's got a unique approach to playing and is so inventive and intense.
@marstrings I see there's no place for Martin Simpson or Allan Holdsworth there either. John Lennon and Willie Nelson make the list? Competent guitarists only. Ah well, typical top-lists nonsense then! Right, I'm back to listening to some more Steve Howe now....
Sorry for the double posting below -- I'm learning how to post a coment. ( as I said I'm old! lol. I'm still using "R" mail----- It's when you tie a note to a rock and toss it as far as you can! HA!
@brualkar ....Dude, I'm 53 so don't sweat it. I still listen to YES, Emerson Lake n Palmer and the BEATLES on a regular basis....Real Rock will never die
IMO.....When Bill Bruford left Yes, Yes's music became very boring. Alan White brings nothing interesting or creative to the band. I saw them just after Bruford left. Had I'd known, I wouldn't have gone. I was very disappointed in the way they sounded. Bruford was light-years ahead of most drummers at that time.
He was not the man for the job. Bruford was the creative back bone to what made Everyone the band unleash their genius:).aka Steve Howe, Chris Squire, jon Anderson, Tony Kaye & Rick Wakeman. Any other line up were primative and less exciting. Your excited people, probably have a fetush or costumes.

I remember my first concert. The arena was dark. Then, a spot-light shown down on the lead singer and I said to myself, "That's it! That's what I want to do when I grow up!" And 10 years later my dream came true. I was a spot-light operator! Yea!
Thank You For Preserving This! It is originally from the film "Yessongs" and was shown in theaters long before it came out on video. I think I went 4 times! The camera work is so disappointing: they don't show Steve doing that superb playing! Turned many friends on to Yes with this one (from the double LP). Indeed a brilliant performance. They were approaching the height of their powers! Thanks again! Hey, is this out on DVD??

Saw Steve Howe in the Tampa Theathre awhile back solo. Amazing guitarist. I think everyone in the room that played guitar just thre theres out that night. CLassical and rock, either or, it did not matter. It was just him dazzling the audience. Wonder show. Actually it was a few years ago. He looked old. Kermit the froggish.
If you didnt see yes live in the late 70's IE going for the one tour in the round then u dont know Yes. Stop all the bullshit .years from now we will listen and enjoy all those many years ago.

I always thought that Yes wasn´t a very good live band. First of all the keyboards were just too soft compared to the guitar. Then the pretty hard guitar sound met a bass sound that was hard as well and not bassy or warm at all. This mixture made it hard to listen to them a whole show.
I'll never understand why modern music critics look back on Prog Rock with such hatred. They call it self indulgent, pompous, bombastic and pretentious. Prog bands sold millions of records and packed arenas and stadiums with legions of devoted fans. What the hell do they think the more revered rock bands of the late 60s - 70s were playing? Similar, over the top shit. Have they ever actually listened to Prog Rock? It kicks ass! So, they looked flashy and used too many lights and theatrics. BFD!
Haven't seen this movie in years... now I'll have to get it. That was the Close to the Edge tour, and could hardly have been a better choice. They were among the first to play really long stuff in concert. Most people thought the audience wouldn't have a long enough attention span but thank god for non-conformists like Yes!
And I don't care what they did later or what they look like now. C'mon folks, everyone gets older. Personally I liked the 90125 tour also.
Came to Vancouver in 1971 as the unknown "opening act" for Jethro Tull and absolutely blew the minds of everyone in attendance.This was pre-Wakeman and Alan White,it was Tony Kaye and Bill Bruford and it was a magical evening.
@spasticinbondage "Yes were always the thinking man's or in rare cases, woman's too, prog rock band of choice." Yes!!! I am one of them. Women that is. Yes and Genesis. Genious!
@ConspireToConspire I'll take that as a compliment ;) I enjoy the music more as the years go by. I love the complexities and intricacies of the music like I do a good bit of Dvorak, Elgar or Mendelssohn. My tastes are very ecclectic and include some present day UK artists like Blur, Coldplay, Elbow (awsome!), Amy Winehouse etc etc but couldn't live without my prog!! Didn't know what I'd been listening to all these years was a genre unto itself until very recently. I appreciate your reply.
I wish in retrospect during his solo Steve Howe had sauntered over to that microphone and, pausing briefly in his frenetic fingereing to utter an Ian Anderson deep inhale!
BRILLIANT! AS FOR NOT BEING IN THE R & R HALL OF FAME? THEY ARE FAR FAR BEYOND MERE WORLDLY RECOGNITION OF GENIUS ---- SADLY, SUCCESS IS MORE OFT DEFINED THESE DAYS IN TERMS OF COMMERCIAL VALUE.
Steve Howe at his prime.............. Heard this song when I was 14 or so ........ Been a true yes fun since 10 y/o . Had the chance to see them in Madrid in '03 (The Full Circle Tour) while I was on my post grade............ the same line up ...... I was on my feet the whole night.......... Haven't heard the new record mainly because I'm afraid to get dasapointed. I rather remember YES as they were.

What in the world was up with the video/film editor for this clip? Every time Steve Howe launches into his melodic riffing between verses we get to see instead Chris Squire playing his bass or Jon Anderson playing the tambourine! This guy has a poor sense of timing and musical framing. Such a great rendition of the song, too.
I could swear the (somewhat messy) intro was based on * I've Got the Music in Me * as song by Kiki Dee in ... 1974. Or at least, that's when it was released. Is this really a concert from 1972?
As about "better quality video": the first Sony VCR was released in 1971 and quality was very poor by today standards, so it's amazing a decent video from this performance exists.
Makes me wanna get a Gibson ES175...but I course I cant make it sound as good....ha. Howe is so under rated when the great British or any guitarists of that era are mentioned. Check out a Ritchie Blackmore solo and u might say the same thing.

Has always been my favorite track on Yessongs. Howe is without question one of the great guitarists. Hard to believe Rolling Stone just released the "100 Best Guitarists" and he isn't on the list!
whitmoredave 2 months ago
@whitmoredave Good grief, really? He's not in the best 100? He should be in the top 10. Nobody ever played like Howe before or since - he's got a unique approach to playing and is so inventive and intense.

@marstrings I see there's no place for Martin Simpson or Allan Holdsworth there either. John Lennon and Willie Nelson make the list? Competent guitarists only. Ah well, typical top-lists nonsense then! Right, I'm back to listening to some more Steve Howe now....

IMO.....When Bill Bruford left Yes, Yes's music became very boring. Alan White brings nothing interesting or creative to the band. I saw them just after Bruford left. Had I'd known, I wouldn't have gone. I was very disappointed in the way they sounded. Bruford was light-years ahead of most drummers at that time.

@bluesimage1
He was not the man for the job. Bruford was the creative back bone to what made Everyone the band unleash their genius:).aka Steve Howe, Chris Squire, jon Anderson, Tony Kaye & Rick Wakeman. Any other line up were primative and less exciting. Your excited people, probably have a fetush or costumes.

I remember my first concert. The arena was dark. Then, a spot-light shown down on the lead singer and I said to myself, "That's it! That's what I want to do when I grow up!" And 10 years later my dream came true. I was a spot-light operator! Yea!

Thank You For Preserving This! It is originally from the film "Yessongs" and was shown in theaters long before it came out on video. I think I went 4 times! The camera work is so disappointing: they don't show Steve doing that superb playing! Turned many friends on to Yes with this one (from the double LP). Indeed a brilliant performance. They were approaching the height of their powers! Thanks again! Hey, is this out on DVD??

CLassical and rock, either or, it did not matter. It was just him dazzling the audience. Wonder show. Actually it was a few years ago. He looked old. Kermit the froggish.

I always thought that Yes wasn´t a very good live band. First of all the keyboards were just too soft compared to the guitar. Then the pretty hard guitar sound met a bass sound that was hard as well and not bassy or warm at all. This mixture made it hard to listen to them a whole show.

I'll never understand why modern music critics look back on Prog Rock with such hatred. They call it self indulgent, pompous, bombastic and pretentious. Prog bands sold millions of records and packed arenas and stadiums with legions of devoted fans. What the hell do they think the more revered rock bands of the late 60s - 70s were playing? Similar, over the top shit. Have they ever actually listened to Prog Rock? It kicks ass! So, they looked flashy and used too many lights and theatrics. BFD!

Haven't seen this movie in years... now I'll have to get it. That was the Close to the Edge tour, and could hardly have been a better choice. They were among the first to play really long stuff in concert. Most people thought the audience wouldn't have a long enough attention span but thank god for non-conformists like Yes!
And I don't care what they did later or what they look like now. C'mon folks, everyone gets older. Personally I liked the 90125 tour also.

Came to Vancouver in 1971 as the unknown "opening act" for Jethro Tull and absolutely blew the minds of everyone in attendance.This was pre-Wakeman and Alan White,it was Tony Kaye and Bill Bruford and it was a magical evening.

@ConspireToConspire I'll take that as a compliment ;) I enjoy the music more as the years go by. I love the complexities and intricacies of the music like I do a good bit of Dvorak, Elgar or Mendelssohn. My tastes are very ecclectic and include some present day UK artists like Blur, Coldplay, Elbow (awsome!), Amy Winehouse etc etc but couldn't live without my prog!! Didn't know what I'd been listening to all these years was a genre unto itself until very recently. I appreciate your reply.

Steve Howe at his prime.............. Heard this song when I was 14 or so ........ Been a true yes fun since 10 y/o . Had the chance to see them in Madrid in '03 (The Full Circle Tour) while I was on my post grade............ the same line up ...... I was on my feet the whole night.......... Haven't heard the new record mainly because I'm afraid to get dasapointed. I rather remember YES as they were.

What in the world was up with the video/film editor for this clip? Every time Steve Howe launches into his melodic riffing between verses we get to see instead Chris Squire playing his bass or Jon Anderson playing the tambourine! This guy has a poor sense of timing and musical framing. Such a great rendition of the song, too.

I could swear the (somewhat messy) intro was based on * I've Got the Music in Me * as song by Kiki Dee in ... 1974. Or at least, that's when it was released. Is this really a concert from 1972?
As about "better quality video": the first Sony VCR was released in 1971 and quality was very poor by today standards, so it's amazing a decent video from this performance exists.
