...There was a lot of good underground music in the '80s. Slave, Talking Heads, Rush, George Duke... Robert Fripp in particular was working his ass off. Grateful Dead was still going strong. Desert rock and metal bands started to form... You just can't say that music went downhill.
if anyone has seen the movie "Apollo 18" then you'll remember that an astronaut was listening to a "Yes" song on his little tape recorder. does anyone know the name of that song, he was listening to?? man, it is one of their real good oldies and i had heard it before but i can't recall it to save my life. will someone help me figure this mystery out. thanks
Just had another listen to this incredible rendition of Yours is no Disgrace. Howe is absolutely at his best technically in this - especially in the last part doing that amazing 32nd note run down the neck, then he slides up chromatically - in perfect rhythm - and continues with the 32nd notes run as if it had never been broken by the sliding. The timing and phrasing is absolute perfection. Take a listen and see Howe he blows away all of his 70's contemporaries. PURE GENIUS!!!
@545t3t4t5 Your SO RIGHT. Nobody even knows who YES is anymore. It's sad that the music industry today is such a joke. It's all about the MONEY not the MUSIC!!!!!!
@545t3t4t5 Look underground... If you're interested, I just put a band together with bands like Genesis, Yes, Porcupine Tree, and a multitude of jazz/progressive bands as our influences. If you're interested, keep in touch, I think you'll be surprised! (Our ages are 15, 16, 16 and 17 btw).
@545t3t4t5 Yeah it's sort of ironic.. Yes was sort of the creative high-point of rock music. But hey the kids these days have done some great stuff with electronic jazz music. :B
I felt he kinda dropped the ball for a minute there in the middle. Still, didn't stop me from sitting here in my office and tearing up at the beauty of it...
Someone has to explain to me why the sound systems, the mix from 1971 -1979 were wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than post 1979. Forget the fact that the musicianship here is beyond comprehension. As technology got better, the sound systems got worse! Here the music sounds so thick and full. IE: 2002 they sounded like they were playing through a cotton ball.
@Jacktard well, then, if 'he is the band' you could go and tell him 'hey jon, why dont you take ANY bandmates and start touring' ? you're as square as the screen of your computer. that's why is called a BAND. for the matter you say there are solo artists.
This is a great version. The version that appears on Yessongs the album is from a 1972 concert at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens,Georgia. The version on the Yessongs concert video is different and not nearly as good musically. It there any video footage in existence from the 1972 concert in Athens,Georgia? The camera angles as with most of these earlier video version are fairly lame, it's as if these camera persons had no clue as to what they were filming. Thanks for posting!
I was just watching the version of this from Yessongs, and this version is superior. The reason? BRUFORD. Nothing against Alan White, but Bruford simply rules.
@kickerofelves123 i was just about to type that myself..HOLY SHIT!!! that really freaked me out, i was showing this video to a mate saying how its weird that you have jon saying "in 12, 14 yrs time there should be really good things happening music-wise" i was just saying how sorry i felt for him (not knowing how music would really turn out!) then my mate says "WTF is that behind him?"
@DodgyJusByName Lol I don't see how it could be anything other than a panther. There are no house cats that large. It's just like Jon Anderson to have a pet panther- always trying to be one with the world and one with nature hahaha
@DodgyJusByName Yeah, there's SOMETHING going on there. It's too big to be a cat, but not the right proportions for a panther. That Jon... always having to have something otherwordly about him.... XD
@SamuelLJacksonsFish I think Bil is awesome but I like Alan anyway they are really diferents drummers, Bill did amazing things in King Crimson I think he had more space there, King Crimson had the drum more furtherforward than Yes that maybe explain his out( don´t get me wrong I would have like a Yes with Bill Bruford post 1972 It would have been interesting a Relayer with him)
I'm looking for the button to press that says "I Love it" But I can't find it anywhere! So I guess I just have to press "Like" and make do with that one, instead! One of the best performances of this classic classic track there is.
I remember watching this at the time. I was 15, had seen Yes at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, Bill Brufords sneering (but accurate) comments about the audience at 7:10 made my mum say: ' Well they've got you sussed out!'
I finally heard this version of this song again. I'll sleep better tonight. Yes is trully a great band. Nobody plays or will ever play like Yes. Trully phenonimal.
@john1000003 Actually, this is not Yes' earliest lineup. If you notice, that is Wakeman playing keyboards and he didn't join the band until the Fragile album was being recorded. The original Yes lineup didn't have Howe nor Wakeman, the band had Peter Banks and Tony Kaye. This is actually the third Yes lineup as Tony Kaye played on the Yes Album where this song was originally released.
THIS PART OF THE SONG IS MISSING ON THE YESSONGS VIDEO. IT'S ON THE ALBUM Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth,Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals,their morals disappear.Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.Caesar's palace, morning glory,silly human,silly human race,On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place, If the summer change to winter,yours is no,Yours is no disgrace.Yours is no disgrace.Yours is no disgrace.THEY GO FROM THE MIDDLE INTO THE ENDING JAM.
On the YES album tour Steve's solo in Yours is no disgrace is amazing, but more like the studio version. Starting with the Fragile tour he went off on these amazing tangents. I have 2 bootlegs of the fragile tour. Woverhampton 10/11/71 and Winterland 3/10/72. Steve's solo on both are beyond amazing. Not to be believed. The most amazing thing is that they are alittle different from each other. The version from Yesongs is from the Clsoe to the edge tour. That could be the best of all!!!!!!!!
Great rendition. Too bad someone tried to tamper with the sound at about 5:45 trying to make it into "shitty" human race. Not a very successful attempt.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The human race IS shitty. Except for the nude naked savages in Africa who crap and pee on the ground. They are superior, because they don't ruin the environment or spend all day surfing the web. White people are shitty.
Man, is there a version of the original Yessongs "Yours is no disgrace" on video, with that dum ass videographer holding his lense on the man Steve out there. I mean Steve Howe is one of my ALLTIME heroes, but shit!!, what did he do to that solo?? Don't get me wrong, I don't
t think the man could hit a wrong note, but that's NOTHING (say it like Deniro)... NOTHING like his solo of "Yours is no disgrace" on Yessongs
Well, this was recorded... what, 2-3 years before the Yessongs version? Think about it... he had all that time to perfect the solo so that it sounds just right like it does on Yessongs.... But seriously, I think this solo is just as good, not better, but definitely excellent! They're very different, too, and I think he does some greatttt some stuff on this one.
YES!!! my god. why is there no HotS with Bruford around? I know that they never played Close to the Edge with Bruford live but come on.. where is the Heart with BB?!
Bruford played CTTE with ABWH, everyone here except Squire. That live DVD is still available. Heluva show, really.
Interesting comment by Jon about future bands. He would have been right, except the record companies took power back, away from the bands, in the late 70s. Music like Yes, Tull, Gentle Giant, Genesis... the bands were in control then, and the record companies let them go because they were making $.
wow this is better than the album version. poor john little did he know the 80's would start the de evolution of rock music and we are still de evolving to this day. we suck.
@zepman360 I'd recommend the Yessongs live version of this song to you, very likable and there's some interesting and particularly emotional guitar work from beginning to end.
@JACKIFIEDCRACK I agree, YESSONGS was released in Dec' of 73, To me it has the best live versions of their earlier songs , especially Close to the edge , and Heart of the Sunrise,,,, I saw them in concert in 72 and 75 both were amazing !
@zorozornes Haha well I'm afraid you're talking to a 15 year old fanatic haha. Close to the edge.. Now that song... There aren't any words for it, it stands on its own, oh and about 4 and half minutes before the end there's that crazy discordant riff that just hits you in the face again and again until mit resolves into one of Rick's crazy Mozart solos, just love it! I don't know If I'll ever get to see them live :/ They played in my city on my birthday recently but it was for over 21's.
@zepman360 His statement "in about 15 years music will be more sophisticated" in 1986 all we got shitty Madonna and Wang Chung and Wham and Huey Lewis & The News and goddamn Amy Grant and not to mention 700 club Paul Crouch on TV
@n64wilbert Tell me about it ... That was about the time my friends and I plastered the records in the stores with warning labels: "CAUTION! This music is antimatter. The shear lack of style, intelligence and invention may be detrimental to your health."
I was reading through the comments after listening 2 Jon's prophecy about future music. Let me just say that I agree with u folks that the music didn't get better. However there's excellent music & guitar players out there. Check out Steve Morse, Alan Holdsworth. Robert Fripp is still doing stuff that's impossible 2 do on guitar, except 4 Robert Fripp. I'd like 2 have the Jonas brothers over and play some Yes, King Crimson, & U.K. 4 them & then say 'let me know when u can play like that'
Spacey, cosmic, enlightening. The music of YES (no?) is all that and much more! Makes me feel like I'm floating in the astral, again. There are few artists that can make me feel that way- Moody Blues is another...
There is a band that has really changed music but only in there own circle. They are called My Morning Jacket. A new sort of prog. Check them out. Steam engine, the bear, some of there earlier stuff.
"I start to think about the young kids that start watching us and pick up a guitar. And what is their music gonna be like, in say, ten, twelve, fourteen years... it's gonna be really incredible isn't it."
i am agree with you music nowadays is only rubbish, since the 60s and mid 70s decades, music have not experienced a big change, now the only things that you need to be an "artist" is a pretty face and a hot body and everything is done, the media has a lot of fault that this happens, but i have a hope that some group will revolutionize the music like the Beatles did it once.
Steve in Yours is no Disgrace in any and every concert I've seen is ABSOLUTELY amazing and this concert really captured it! Thanks for the post of a great time before the band took off to the stars. BTW, check out the cat walking behind Jon at around 7:36, it looks like some kind of panther skulking around a Roger Dean landscape.
Yes at there best and most creative! I wonder how extrodinary Tales and the following records would have been if the restless and awesome drummer Bartly Buttford hadn't split
This is a perfect example of why small venue concerts are always better.
If you saw them perform a few years later, it would be synced up to some big pyrotechnics and video display,and the band would be hampered by elf costumes.
I'd be interested to know what guitar styles you prefer. Steve's technique is definitely idiosyncratic, but always masterful. I agree that he is in fine form here. Fragile is where he won be over for life.
I prefer a kind of bluesy style with a certain swing feeling, like Mick Taylor or Tommy Bolin used to pursue, Jimmy Page on some studio recordings and Jeff Beck of course
The 80s had some crap, but I'd vote our current decade as the worst ever. We've now entered the era of "disposable" music - give it a quick listen and then discard. No lasting value whatsoever, don't dare push any boundaries or demand a patient audience. All the ideas seem to be recycled from something that's already been done in the past. I don't think I can list more than a couple of memorable tunes that will be played 10 years from now.
well its a shame, but i think there is a way to solve tihs problem XD I meen for instance, i play in a band with styles based on yes and gentle giant and some more funk influences too, but its not our fault that we wont be famous (unless were rubbish!), its the producers and label owners themselves who are too scared to risk some money on making great albums, and pushing the rigid boundaries that are inplace at the moment hell if i had money id produce bands like this for the sake of music XD
kainindustries - Yup, that's exactly what happened and to prove it, I recorded it and played it backwards (easy to do with MS sound recorder). It really does sound like sh*tty, but I doubt that Yes changed the lyric. Ha, intentional backmasking!
ASeasoned Witch, my reply to your comment doesn't seem to be posting...derekhogue15 has a video of this minus the edit...'silly human race' is the lyric.
markydkiehl - that IS very strange at 5:42. I know the words and whatever got dubbed in there doesn't even match his mouth. Need a lip reader to tell us what got taped over.
...There was a lot of good underground music in the '80s. Slave, Talking Heads, Rush, George Duke... Robert Fripp in particular was working his ass off. Grateful Dead was still going strong. Desert rock and metal bands started to form... You just can't say that music went downhill.

Well, this was recorded... what, 2-3 years before the Yessongs version? Think about it... he had all that time to perfect the solo so that it sounds just right like it does on Yessongs.... But seriously, I think this solo is just as good, not better, but definitely excellent! They're very different, too, and I think he does some greatttt some stuff on this one.

It sounds like they dubbed "silly human race" into "filthy human race." that's stupid.
I wish they had the footage from the whole concert. I really want to hear a classic version of "Heart of the Sunrise" live with Bruford.
PROTENON 2 years ago
YES!!! my god. why is there no HotS with Bruford around? I know that they never played Close to the Edge with Bruford live but come on.. where is the Heart with BB?!
memalley 2 years ago
Bruford played CTTE with ABWH, everyone here except Squire. That live DVD is still available. Heluva show, really.
Interesting comment by Jon about future bands. He would have been right, except the record companies took power back, away from the bands, in the late 70s. Music like Yes, Tull, Gentle Giant, Genesis... the bands were in control then, and the record companies let them go because they were making $.
As Steve said in YesYears, Viva the 70s!

@zepman360 I'd recommend the Yessongs live version of this song to you, very likable and there's some interesting and particularly emotional guitar work from beginning to end.
JACKIFIEDCRACK 1 year ago
@JACKIFIEDCRACK I agree, YESSONGS was released in Dec' of 73, To me it has the best live versions of their earlier songs , especially Close to the edge , and Heart of the Sunrise,,,, I saw them in concert in 72 and 75 both were amazing !

@zorozornes Haha well I'm afraid you're talking to a 15 year old fanatic haha. Close to the edge.. Now that song... There aren't any words for it, it stands on its own, oh and about 4 and half minutes before the end there's that crazy discordant riff that just hits you in the face again and again until mit resolves into one of Rick's crazy Mozart solos, just love it! I don't know If I'll ever get to see them live :/ They played in my city on my birthday recently but it was for over 21's.

I was reading through the comments after listening 2 Jon's prophecy about future music. Let me just say that I agree with u folks that the music didn't get better. However there's excellent music & guitar players out there. Check out Steve Morse, Alan Holdsworth. Robert Fripp is still doing stuff that's impossible 2 do on guitar, except 4 Robert Fripp. I'd like 2 have the Jonas brothers over and play some Yes, King Crimson, & U.K. 4 them & then say 'let me know when u can play like that'

Why is the line "Silly Human Race" censored? Did some idiot censor think that he was saying "shitty" or something?
Mikemaniax 2 years ago
Good point. I looked at a lesser quality bootleg version and i thought he was saying "shitty". When i replayed it, he in fact was saying "silly".
So i think you're right - this version is from VH1 so somebody over there must have thought he was saying "shitty" lol

i am agree with you music nowadays is only rubbish, since the 60s and mid 70s decades, music have not experienced a big change, now the only things that you need to be an "artist" is a pretty face and a hot body and everything is done, the media has a lot of fault that this happens, but i have a hope that some group will revolutionize the music like the Beatles did it once.

Steve in Yours is no Disgrace in any and every concert I've seen is ABSOLUTELY amazing and this concert really captured it! Thanks for the post of a great time before the band took off to the stars. BTW, check out the cat walking behind Jon at around 7:36, it looks like some kind of panther skulking around a Roger Dean landscape.

This is a perfect example of why small venue concerts are always better.
If you saw them perform a few years later, it would be synced up to some big pyrotechnics and video display,and the band would be hampered by elf costumes.

Wow that's Steve at his best. Always had a little difficulties with Steve Howe's style, but this solo really rocks.

I'd be interested to know what guitar styles you prefer. Steve's technique is definitely idiosyncratic, but always masterful. I agree that he is in fine form here. Fragile is where he won be over for life.
stormdawg 2 years ago
I prefer a kind of bluesy style with a certain swing feeling, like Mick Taylor or Tommy Bolin used to pursue, Jimmy Page on some studio recordings and Jeff Beck of course

"I don't think we can start to think what the music's going to be like in 15 years."
Hmm, let see that would put us in th e mid 80s. Arguably, the worst musical decade in history.
Enigma758 2 years ago 2
The 80s had some crap, but I'd vote our current decade as the worst ever. We've now entered the era of "disposable" music - give it a quick listen and then discard. No lasting value whatsoever, don't dare push any boundaries or demand a patient audience. All the ideas seem to be recycled from something that's already been done in the past. I don't think I can list more than a couple of memorable tunes that will be played 10 years from now.
tonusaitis 2 years ago 4
well its a shame, but i think there is a way to solve tihs problem XD I meen for instance, i play in a band with styles based on yes and gentle giant and some more funk influences too, but its not our fault that we wont be famous (unless were rubbish!), its the producers and label owners themselves who are too scared to risk some money on making great albums, and pushing the rigid boundaries that are inplace at the moment hell if i had money id produce bands like this for the sake of music XD
