  • WOW! ONE OF THE BEST BANDS OF ALL TIMES :-D

  • Is he playing a lute??

  • Genesis and Yes...The kings of progressive rock.

  • dawnmour -he whould have been proud my friend.

  • Oh my God that's beautiful music. I'm so glad He invented music.

  • @ babiveiga You're very fortunate that your father introduced you to this music. I'll be you have far more sophisticated musical tastes than most of your friends.

  • great

  • One for your bath Jeanette !!

  • Yes maybe the fathers of Progressive Rock, but that's debatable. All I can say is that they are one of the only bands I can listen to for 5 hours straight.

  • they were real musicans in the 60-70-80's. todays musicians are digitally enhanced. Hell they could even make me sound good today. Nothing beats the real things.

  • Fantastic! One of the best musical groups ever. It's a shame that the kids today don't hear such magnificently complex music with such poetic lyrics. I suppose the more intelligent kids who'd appreciate this music will find it. The others can content themselves with the drivel on the pop stations.

  • @DeborahYarnmarket Im not exactly a kid, im 29, but i grew up listening to those songs and bands my daddy used to like and i like them too. But I have to say none of my friends even know about Yes! At least not here where I live in Brazil.

  • Thanks for posting. Brings back so many great memories!

  • I heard this on XM and I didnt get you check for the song title. So i spent an hour trying to describe it to my dad. I could remember " FOR THE QUEEN TO USSSE".... so there i was.... singing that line over and over

  • what the hell are chris and geoff wearing

  • " Don't surround yourself with yourself", one of the best lines ever written!

  • Lovely! Thank you for letting me see this. :-)

  • steve has a seriously bad ass guitar in the second half, i'd love one of those.

  • @kingcrimson234 Its a Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster, nice guitar, I always wanted one :)

  • needz moar mandolin.

  • man why must all of Yes's amazing music be so brutally difficult to play...

  • Computers do many things, yes, but there's one thing they cannot do, and that is make golden music like this.

    Yes FTW.

  • LOL. You guys are great! It's nice to see that there is some of you in the younger generation that can still appreciate good music even after being bombarded daily with the CRAP they shove down all of our throats as rock or progressive rock. If you want to win over a few more of your friends to YES....the FATHERS of Progressive Rock.....play them a clip of "SOON" and smile knowingly as they sit mesmerized. I've seen them 9 times since 1972 and have yet to be dissapointed.

  • god damnit, steve howe had it going on! fantastic musician, babe-a-licious, plus he just seems like a really nice & charming person. jeez, i need to change my name to iHeartSteveHowe!!! :)

  • They really know how to get a crowed going with all the clapping lol, Love Yes !

  • R.I.P.  BAILEY APRIL 1, 1999 AUGUST 4, 2011. BEST FRIEND I EVER HAD

  • I've seen 14 non-good people.

  • Love this song 4 ever

  • If I ever do form a band, it will be a progressive rock band, so members must have been influenced by bands like Yes.

  • Played this video (and most of Fragile through Pandora) for my dad before they took him off life support. Yes was his favorite band. Thanks for putting this up.

  • @dawnmour OMG that is so sad...... :(

  • @dawnmour Sorry about your dad - but I'm sure he really appreciated your doing that -

  • @dawnmour What a beautiful thing to do for your dad. I'm sure it made his passing so much easier.

  • @dawnmour - Peace to you dawnmour. I don't know you but you must be an excellent person. Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope 2012 is a good year for you and your family.

  • @dawnmour , thank you

    

  • I wish I could go back in time and enjoy all of this music without the knowledge of just how shitty this generations music is.

  • Comment removed

  • Who knew Chess could be so epic?

  • Just saw them live not 2 days ago.....wow all of them, especially Steve looked so young back in the 70s!

  • can we surround ourselves with triangles though?

  • Thumbs up if Doctor Bishop brought you here!

  • @JPeeper So accurate!!!

  • @EnglshRoc you kidding, i grew up on this music(:

  • Jon has the quality of a Shaman when he performs. Magic. So glad I saw them live back in the day.

  • just "wow". thank you So much for posting- i blow you a :* as this is worth more than a thumbs up. peace.

  • this is what i call proper music

  • What a great lyric. "Don't surround yourself with yourself". I've always loved that.

  • Don't surround yourself with yourself - we should all live this way.

  • Fringe brought me here.

  • Incredible musicians...

  • sang this at karaoke last night. Damn was I good!

  • @BooeyHogue when did you get castrated?

  • @zep1234569 Please help me out if you will. I don't remember what I wrote which prompted you to make that comment. I certainly hope I didn't offend you in some way. Please forgive me if I did. I'm always willing to become aware of my shortcomings. Thanks Zep.

  • @BooeyHogue man.....it was a joke....you said you sang the song at karaoke and he has such a high voice like he was castrated...follow me?

  • @zep1234569 ah, thanks :) I was slow on that one. I sing it in a lower key. But I don't sing that well anyway.

  • My abso fave Yessong. Saw them twice; beyond joy. Thank you.

  • The theme song

  • The Yessongs version is a little better, but this is a real close second. I would like to thank the person that posted this I never thought I would see a video of this song. I've seen Yes four or five times live, three of those in the round (those that have been there know what i mean) and they always put on an awesome show, this is one of my all time favorites

  • Progressive Rock- FTW! ;)

  • Might be the BEST version of this song. Absolutely love it!!! A great lineup too...Anderson, Wakeman, Squire, Howe and I believe Alan White. How is this group NOT in the so-called rock & roll hall of fame....yet Donna Summer is??? A total travesty. LONG LIVE YES!!!!!

  • Always Love you YES! Thanks for the beautiful inspiring music.

  • See an interesting acoustic version of this song by my family at Marck O'Connor's 2007 Fiddle Camp in San Diego; search YouTube on: "Rebecca Gastfriend: All Good People - Your Move"

  • The vocals that repeat on the last minutes remind me a lot of "Think for Yourself" by The Beatles "and you still have time to rectify all the things that you do" haha has nearly the same melody.

  • This song reminds me of my brother Josh Tyree who has the perfect voice for this!

  • who was in this line up?

  • @superpanson69 Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White. Bill Bruford left Yes shortly before this tour commenced. Alan White stepped in and reportedly learned the entire tour set list in just 3 days.

  • I saw yes in 73. the eagles were the warm up band

  • WOW!! A FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC blast from the past!! I still have this on vinyl, all the memories of black lights and ...............so much more!!!!!!! :) I LOVE this song, and it's timeless relevance!!!

  • ALL WE ARE SAYING! "IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" ♥

  • YES...........

  • strength in what you are

  • independence

    

  • she taught me by not words but her actions

  • I don't mean my mother personal I haven't talked to her in ove r a year(waits for groans to die down) I mean what she taught me

  • no one controls me except my mom

  • one possible future

  • sry I saw a glimpse of the future

  • let's do like communists and islamic radicals and just shove our believes down other people's throats as if we're selfrighteous and you know better than me...NOT ON MY WATCH

  • it bothers me also

  • It bothers me that few people in my generation doesn't know of this band

  • I saw them in 1972 at William & Mary Hall. They opened for Ten Years After and blew Alvin off the stage. By the way tickets were $5. What a time !

  • Steve Howe shreds!

  • Am old enough to have seen these guys live in 73 - they were one of my very favourite bands, then, and it is great to see them again!!  Jon Anderson's amazing voice, Wakeman's keyboards - but they were all superb musicians!!!

  • YES YES YES THEIR MUSIC MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD!

  • Were these the days, or WHAT?

  • this song is at the end of zeitgeist 3

  • Big Yes fan and remember the posters you could get that were also covers on many a Yes album?

    Yes Drama was a great album too..don't hear to much about it anymore..Great songs

    RoundAbout,

    I am a Camera

    Your is No Disgrace

    And You and I

    Going for the One

    Oh I could go on an on!!

    Great Video!!

  • I remember when I was a kid in the '80s, maybe 6 or 7, my old man and I were at this store called Harry's. It was like a Kmart but not a chain. We were shopping for Christmas and he found this Yessongs video in the bargain bin, so he grabbed it. Dad was a Yes fan forever, so I'd been exposed to it, but I'm telling you this video changed my life. Harry's is long gone now, and so is my old man, but my love of Yes remains and I still watch the video about once a year. Awesome stuff.

  • Alot of kids today will never hear great songs like this kind of sad really

  • @EnglshRoc I'm a kid who's lucky then, because I listen to this stuff :)

  • @EnglshRoc

    Couldn't have said it any better.

  • @EnglshRoc I am 15 and am so glad my family brought me up on groups like this and Crosby, Still and Nash( and Young), Simon and Garfunkel and many others. Though many kids don't listen to music like this i am just glad that most of my friends also appreciate some of the best music or all time( in my opinion)

  • @EnglshRoc not all :):)

  • @EnglshRoc  Im 18 And Me and Alot of my friends and thier younger siblings listen to great bands such as Yes, and Rush because of me. This was back in a time where music was actually music and meant something.

  • @shawnsyrinx Man you sound like a cool lil dude. Sounds like u got some great friends. I had some dumb friends who were into Hair Metal mosly when i was in Junior High. Senior High was better though and we all were into alot of the same stuff. Its about fooling your heart not trying to be another brick in the wall bro. So thumbs up to you

  • @EnglshRoc

    Mabe not all, but some. I am :)

  • @EnglshRoc You are definitely right about that. Today's music isn't real. There is nothing like classic rock.

  • @EnglshRoc not nesicarrily, I recently made a friend of mine (Who listens to all that modern shit) listen to Owner of a Lonley Heart and he loved it! A week later on his iPod I caught him listening to the 90125 album! I'm proud of my friend!

  • @EnglshRoc i try to play music like this to my little sister, nieces and nephew cause i want them to experience good music and i think this is one i gotta add to the list

  • @EnglshRoc in my opinion, the kids who are willing to seek this out will be the ones who actually appreciate it. the ones who never hear it probably wouldn't care anyway. so it's really not that sad, to me. but it sucks this generation (well, actually my generation) is so used to hearing pop music on the radio now, that they probably couldn't fully understand this.

  • @marilea236 yes! Im 19 and hate my own generations music. Im so blessed my father introduced me to all of this good music!

  • @tbonebowie62 i'm 16 and my mom introduced me to this recently. :) i don't hate my generations music (most of it), but this is so much better. i just try appreciate everything. but it sucks Yes isn't very well known anymore.

  • @EnglshRoc Sure they will.. they can hear it here! :-D

  • @EnglshRoc

    i agree with youu. but im 14 and a girl and yes is my all time favorite band. my stepdad got me into it. and i just love it. i play bass. so chris squire is my idol. i seroiusly love him. haha but at least i have a good taste in music unlike other kids my age

  • @EnglshRoc i know dude im 14 and have to listen to that rap and all and hate :(

  • Ya know, I saw Yes in '73. I saw this exact show. And even though it's been over for almost 40 fucking years, I believe somewhere out there now is another band that looks back on this and is trying to recreate music like this. I know there is. I just can't find them...

  • oooh man ^ this is good ^ back when bands were MUSICIANS instead of the little corporate money making little douche bags as most are these days ...... sorry - just taking the piss ->->-> as nothings all bad you know :)

  • Absolutely beautiful song, thank-you for posting :)

  • Remember the one thing... the song is about chess game.

  • Rick must have had a few beers before clapping like that!

  • @MasterTubeTheatre i think he's always like that

  • @MasterTubeTheatre forget the beer, i'm sure he's stoned out of his gourd and/or on a couple tabs.

  • Capes are epic. Thanks, Elvis.

  • Awesome song!!!

  • God I love Jon Anderson.

  • Isn't the song called "Your Move"? Hence all the chess references. I mean it's still groovy. The movie (was it called Yessongs as well or was is called Yesmovie) was one of the first movies I saw without my Mum and Dad. My baby boomer brother agreed to take me because I would have been about 14.

  • Youtube,

    You Suck!!

    There was a time I could, at least, copy and paste yoyr links. But it seems now you are preventing this. That really sucks.!

    A former fan.

  • I'm starting to get back into the prog rock scene. Can anyone recommend me some more good songs by this band?

  • @lowsten Hi; You could try "Yours is No Disgrace", "Starship Trooper" "Wondrous Stories", "And You & I", "Roundabout", "Close to The Edge" and "Long Distance Runaround" for a start, then if you want to branch out a bit, you could try some Genesis. Classics such as "Firth of Fifth", "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight" "Cinema Show" and Supper's Ready" Then you could also look at King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man" and "In The Court of The Crimson King" That should keep you busy for a while!

  • Whoever posted this, thank you!

  • March 24 1972 So. Bend In.

    My first concert . Fragil tour. YES......

    Fantastic...

  • 13 people surrounded themselves with themselves

  • that guitar sounds so great. I love hollow bodies.

  • omg this is beyond awesome

  • "YES" I AGREE WITH ALL POSITIVE COMMENTS AND "YES" THIS IS A GREAT TRACK,"YES" THIS IS WHAT I THINK "YES" IT IS!!

  • Ha ha Rick Wakeman looks like a wizard. Long live Yes!!

  • @romkok Yes!! A young Gandalf!

  • YES SONGS FOREVER MEMORIES OF THE 70's

  • YES SONGS FOREVER

  • I've seen all good People,,,,Hippies the Whole Lot Of Them!!!!!

  • 1:41 and in 2:35 he says," Send an instant comment to me,

    Initial it with loving care!..... in 1971 there were NOT instant comments that you could send what was he talking about!!!!! i've always wondered that!!! some help with this! it he telling the future?

  • @jayj420 he says " send instant karma to me and initial it with loving care"

  • @jayj420 I believe the words are ..."send an instant karma to me"...lol but I can understand how you got "comment" out of it...it kinda sounds that way. :)

  • I think that kaye is the only guy capable of doing this one right. Wakeman is too in love with himself and would never have kept the masterful outro so moody and simple. Moraz, perhaps the best of all 3 keyboardists (though this is an apples and oranges debate) also probably wouldn't have thought of creating such a powerful fugue effect with so (seemingly) little effort. Listen to the original and hear what I mean.

  • Damn hippies

  • yes to yes

  • steve howe is YES

  • seen all good ppl turn their heads

  • I like good music,insipid hippy rant is a by product

  • who isnt sick of this insipid hippy rant

  • Godbless them they know how to change america for good not bad time for a revolution and it needs to happen now! Otherwise we can kiss democracy goodbye!

  • Best music ever!

    No more to say.

  • rick wakeman..best key boardist that ever lived

  • one of my favorite song from them. it's so harmonic progressive

  • one of the best songs of all time...

  • My favoured on "Yessongs"

    @Music industry: You see, that we also buy music, not only download it - like you once did with your cassette recorder sitting in front of your radio...

    But it has to be such good music!

    Think about this!!

  • he's a phenom

  • watch steve howe

  • I heard this song on Mr. Deeds, and now im hooked!

  • steve fucking rules

  • Music, the pinnacle of Human achievment, YES the pinnacle of music?

  • if you do drug this is your song the best, i've done it

  • This has got to be the best favorite song of all times for me.

  • Tormato tour `79 Fort Worth, Texas...my first concert...i was 17....amazing ! Love that time frame. Alan white was drumming

  • anderson has a unique voice, hard to copy. sings like a girl

  • @repentorburnbaby John Anderson's voice is fantastique, I do like it, we call it "falsetto" in Italy.

  • @sassandro we use that term in English too, but it means something specific about HOW your voice is being rendered. It's the higher part of a yodel. I doubt that's where he's singing... John just has a high voice, so that's his regular voice, falsetto would take him up another couple octaves.

  • @sassandro

    We call it falsetto in America and the UK too

  • "Send an instant comment to me, initial it with loving care .. yourself"

  • Just think a song about playing Chess!!!!!1

  • @txussoldier this isnt about chess, the metaphor simply uses chess to comprehend. It is about surrounding yourself with yourself (your ego). Your ego full of lies. The queen is the powers that be who use your fake ego to maneuver you around using the lie, fear, greed, that we surround ourselves with. Think people.

  • The angels do they exist, J. Anderson is one of them. What a voice!

  • こんなに複雑な構成をもっているのに、こんなにポップな楽曲にな­っているのが凄い。

    おそらく初期のQUEENも、YESの影響を受けているはず。

  • mi comentario es en español...... las mejores rolitas del recuerdo.... todo un clasico en mi familia jejeje

  • Great band ... how many other groups could come up with so many absolutely transcendent moments in their music like Yes does?

  • As someone for whom Tales from Topographic Oceans was the SOUNDTRACK of studying while in undergrad, I still love this band twenty years after graduating....
