makes my cellular memories tingle.... i remember the stage decor on the original concert tour had some colorful Roger Dean style blobs. And yes.... The Lamb is also a masterpiece, especially having Brian Eno doing some of his magic on it.
I cannot stop listen this song, The revealing Science of God is the most perfect song of TfTO 5:12. They touched this song after 20 years, I wonder if some day they will put in agreement to touch my favorite Giants under the Sun
They have improved this part of the song 1:44 Mr. Steve Howe is the best forever 2:32 And inside the Rick solo, also there is a strophe that they cut, they have changed a bit the song, I am going to see if in Masterworks it is also
rick looks so much like jack nicholson in the moog solo at 7:00 and thats the first time ive seen him concentrating on his playing he has to much skill for paying attension
It's funny, Rick hated Topo in the 70's. He ripped on it in multiple interviews. I've seen more recent ones where is much kinder towards the record. I've always thought some of his best playing was oddly enough Topo and Tormato.
you cant beat jon and yesto put on the best zseeen then 33 times never disapoint GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YYYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
This is a MUST HAVE on DVD. Watch it on a big screen TV with a great sound system. It's fucking awesome.
YES, along with other bands who do concept albums like Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, The Who, Genesis, and Rush will go down in history as the Mozart's of rock. No new band today can write material this in depth with so many variations and progressions within one song.
Genesis, Rush and The Who "? I do not agree, only Pink Floyd by his mysterious psychedelia, but the rest does not compare, and Jethro Tull has done nothing more elaborate than Aqualung and believe me... in my opinion it only compare with Fragile of Yes, but Tales From Topographic Oceans, Relayer and Close to the Edge are incomparable, invincible and immortal
You're too young to have a knowledgeable opinion about these bands. You say Tull hasn't done anything more elaborate than Aqualung? Obviously you haven't heard
'Thick as a Brick', or 'Tommy' by the Who, or 'Hemisphere's' by Rush. These are what's known as 'Concept Albums', and are very eloborate. They tell a story from beginning to end. Ask your dad to buy you these CD's.
Yes, thank you very much for the information, but my parents do not listen as old bands, just music from the 80s. I just discovered these bands for my musical talent, really feel the difference between good music and the most repetitive, commercial and even absurd. But for me, "Yes" is the father of music, no other band has songs as immaculate, as enlightened and as virtuous as this. The Tales from Topographixc Oceans is a true gospel, this album is like the bible of the music
Jeez, your parents only listen to only 80's music? You poor kid. You're to be commended on your musical taste since your parents never turned you onto anything worth listening to. I can see why you like YES so much. Their music is very spiritual. My favorite album of their's is 'Going For The One'. You should really listen to the albums I mentioned in my last post. If you click on my name and go to my page you'll see some old studio clips of YES working on the Going For The One album.
honestly I have no repudiation for the other bands, it's just that I do not understand why the great effort made by the musicians of Yes for making music so well developed and extensive as this or like the album Going for the One that you prefer, was not appreciated nor rewarded like other bands, that preferred not break the schemes of the progressive rock as the who, Jethro and pink floyd
Is as if people were blinded and could not appreciate the benevolence and the virtuosity of this music
you should check out the Italian prog band Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM). They don't sound like Yes (who does?) but I'm sure you would appreciate them. Also consider listening to the albums Mirage, Snow Goose, and Mirage by Camel.
Well, that's subject to discussion cause you're giving only your opinion now :-) I do seriously think Jethro Tull has done made some brilliant stuff! Their accoustic work is amazing and don't forget Thick as a Brick! Went to a concert of them recently, they rock!
holy shit... man i'm so pissed off that i wasn't alive for the tales from topographic oceans tour... i am 17 and listen to this album ritually. seriously, if i don't hear it at least 3 times a week (bare minimum) i'll flip out.
I had the great and rare fortune of meeting Jon Anderson after a show on the Union tour in '88 and he said that this was his favorite album too. I was pleased to have known that before we met.
Thanks for the post, this sums up everything about why I still love the natural world.
A first-time listener, and, YES, I have to pay my respects. By cuttin' themselves from the rest of the world, they have mine respect, admiration, and adulation.
Although I think Rick Wakeman is amazing, I also think he's a total dingbat for practically thinking Tales From Topographic Oceans was a waste of his time. What a shame! This album is so influencial to me as a keyboardist, and he wants nothing to do with it.
Absolutely beyond the scope of most people on earth. You are lucky to have witnessed this music in your lifetime. I could die now and be forever happy!!!
Thank You!! My friends and I in 1977/78 discovered this album. It just so happened that it coincided with our use of LSD and Shrooms to launch ourselves into the universes esoteric classrooms. This entire album is part of my soul now.
I am going to be guilty forever for saying this but TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS RULES!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOO happy that you posted live material from the ultimate Yes magnum opus! THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

A year ago i went to a Jon Anderson solo gig in small town in Holland. Jon told the audience that he is a big Yes fan himself.
'When i'm with the guys on stage, i'm in heaven!' Jon is a very modest and down to earth man.
BenMolen 3 years ago 5
Jon also looks like a man who's completely at peace spiritually. He looks like nothing's ever gotten him down in his whole life.
I love Rick's little riff at around 1:08, and Chris's chunky bass in the background really adds to the sound.
