I play drums/percusiion and have for about 14 years. email me @ howlertheewolf@gmail.com Yours Truly, Christopher Howler Hakim PS you can find me on fb under the same nickname. Peace and Rock On!! I am in Tempe Arizona.

  • It's sad when yes is near the bottom of the suggestions

  • @ithinkimightlikehim I'm 14 year old guitarist lovin this stuff trying to write proggressive rock. i love the old stuff too!

  • Why can't youtubers spell...

  • i'm 12 and music sucks today why can't we have stuff like this today?

  • WHATS THE OBSESSION WITH ANNOUNCING YOUR AGE?

    WHERE HERE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC YOU PUBELESS MAGGOTTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yes, your 13

    Yes, you listen to some old school rock

    Yes, i see the same comment on every video

    Yes is a great band and there are also great bands of your era aswell, stop complaining

  • @ithinkimightlikehim I feel the exact same way........ I tell my mom everyday I should've been born in 1968. I was born in 1998, lol XD

  • CRAZZZYYYYYY BASSSS!!!!

  • Extraordinary, wonderful, beautiful! Fantastic! I like it very much!

  • "Mountains come out of the sky and they STAND THERE..."

  • Comment removed

  • I had this song stuck in my head and it took 3 hours of searching to figure it out.

  • @ithinkimightlikehim Then it's a good thing that music is eternal, whether it's enjoyed by the masses or not doesn't matter. What matters is that you still have the availability to listen to what you like when you want to listen to it, and I don't think that's going to change any time soon. :)

  • @ithinkimightlikehim you can still enjoy dream theater!

  • @ithinkimightlikehim good. so there is hope for the future afterall. its up to you!

  • Even Clinton inhaled to this...

  • I can't remember that decade.

  • @ithinkimightlikehim Fuck Yeah i have 15 and bass is really hard and very cool!!!

  • this live version is ten times better than the studio one

  • These guys are friggin' tremendous.

  • @ithinkimightlikehim Don't worry--the thing is THAT you've heard it! I'm 42 and just hearing it for the first time today! And that's only cuz someone accused The Miracles of stealing the bassline from this song, so that made me search it out..The great thing about great music--IT NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE!!

  • @OldMusicTheBestMusic thats right IT NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE!!!

  • Fantasztikusan jó! És az lesz ezer év múlva is!

  • @ithinkimightlikehim You have a whole library of music available to you. I wish I had YouTube in the 80s. My life would've been easier 'cause the radio DJs NEVER told me anything about the songs I liked.

  • @MishuTaste right you are

  • Nice quality sound great job.

  • @XKing2 I saw Cheap Trick when I was 20 and at the club that I used to work at. They sounded GREAT. They were at there the night their first album was released. It was enjoyable to just sit and chat with them in between sets. Rick Nielsen was very funny. Robin Zander kind of stayed to himself and he had a body guard even then. The sounded just like their record. No difference. You can google Midnight special Cheap Trick and get an idea of what it was like. Or the Rockplast Cheap Trick.

  • @ithinkimightlikehim I hear you. I feel the same way, even though I am 3 times your age! I love Yes, but am a big jazz fan as well, and I wish I had been alive in the late 40's and through the 50's and 60's to witness people like Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Bill Evans playing live. But the beauty of recordings and videos is that they preserve the essence of the music for posterity. It is the next best thing. It is refreshing to hear someone your age being into this music!

  • @ithinkimightlikehim Me too man... me too. :(

  • If anyone likes this bass line, check out the Who, the original bass badass, John Entwistle

  • @ithinkimightlikehim

    Dude people like you don't know what they're talking about

    You didn't miss any music, you're listening to it right now.

    Being born in this Decade enables you to listen to great songs of the past and great songs that are coming out now.

    Because, you know, there IS still good music being made. There IS other music nowadays than the top 40

    I do wish I could have seen Cheap trick live when they were younger, though.

  • @ithinkimightlikehim damn fuckin straight! prog 4ever! im 15 and i love it all lol if u wanna chat ive got loads of this stuff!

  • best live performance, some parts sound even better than on album. It just shows how really they were skilled.

  • @clara1GOMES YES! YES he is :-)

  • 11 people need to get "Sq-wired" ;-)

  • Is there no studio version of this?

  • CHRIS FUCKIN' SQUIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @wolfkarel I am chuck ####ing norris!

  • it's a great bass part but it's the clavier and the bassline working together that brings it next level

  • oh yeah this brings me back to when i was just a kid in a small town, when times were simple.

  • AMIGOS ESTA CANCION ES EXTRAORDINARIA, LA VERSION DEL ALBUM YESSONGS, EL INICIO ES EXCELENTE, TERMINA WAKEMAN E INGRESA HOWE, QUE MARAVILLOSA MUSICA MATEMATICA.

    Y NO DIGO NADA DEL CLOSE TO THE EDGE O EL TALES

  • Ok people, you live in one of the greatest generations of all time. There is a lot of shit going on today but there is still some great stuff happening! Every generation has its shitty moments, most people just like to forget therm. Music is still good, listen to something thats not mainstream! Pop has always sucked, but thats because the average population just wants to sing along!

  • @LennonIsNotDead

    I partially agree with you; but just because something is mainstream doesn't mean it sucks. There is A LOT of good mainstream music these days.

  • wild bass line

  • @ithinkimightlikehim There is good music out there try The Steepwater Band or The Black Keys

  • @lucee74 well this music is alot better than the music now sadly

  • @ithinkimightlikehim you are one of the few normal kids of your age . . .

  • @ithinkimightlikehim I'm just like you! Im fifteen, love the music from the 70s and I missed ALL the fucking good music.

  • @GuitarSindre it isn't f'ng good music its good f'ing music if u r 15 u should not b using the f word

  • @LILFOOLISH904 Sorry, im Norwegian, my english is bad, but the music is just so brilliant so I just had to use the F-word!

  • @GuitarSindre Well... I didn't miss the 70s and 80s. I lived and LOVED it all and YES was there all along. It will never happen again. Thanks for lovin' YES. They are the soundtrack of my entire life.

  • @keter1234 I couldn't be more jealous !!

  • @GuitarSindre yup...... the beatles.... yes Peter gabriel..... Fleetwood mac.... Pink Floyd....I was really depresed about this.... I still am...

  • @GuitarSindre lol, no you didn't, good music is just very underground now.

  • @GuitarSindre lol not to harp on you but I was 15 in 1970 and if I would have said fuck I would have been dead by my mother and father. Be glad you live in the time you live, you have the internet and have all of this great music at your finger tips.

  • @GuitarSindre you didnt miss it because we get to hear all now and we get to cherry pick the good songs from back in the day so we are lucky to born now

  • @TheTruth232323 But we don't get to see them play live, and that is a tragedy. :(

  • @drakovolf ok i see what you saying we could never go to one of there shows live well i suggest we find some kickass cover bands not the crappy gimmicky ones you see today and make them play live concers it wont be the original but its the best we could do

  • Uma das melhores bandas do progressivo que já ouvi, vida longa ao YES.

  • ha,,,reminds me of 9th grade!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Daniel55556 I disagree good sir, this is abit more lively than the studio version--if thats even possible

  • @RCT3Enthusiast Interesting... do you have platinum expansion pack for RCT3.?

  • @Daniel55556 I purchased the Soaked and Wild expansions each shortly after they were released, so...I have the content from platinum yes. I also have quite abit of custom scenery from the community but that isn't the point I guess.

  • I played this in marching bannnnnd this year :D

    Good times ~

  • wow...sounds amazing, thanks for posting the song dude!! peace to u and everyone else here.

  • LOLOLOL GO THE BLUESSSSS AT 5:35!!!!!!! fuck these guys are amazing

  • The year was 1971. Five crazy high school kids from north of Seattle drive into town to hear Jethro Tull. The opening act was some band called Yes.  Five crazy acid heads felt their brains melt as Yes took them to places unexplored until that night. I actually remember nothing from the Tull part of the concert though the Yes opening is still indelibly etched on my tired old brain.

  • So thats where they got the idea for sonic to collect rings...

  • The singer has incredible pitch!

  • This is my first time listening to Yes. And I am impressed. It's sounds a lot like RUSH, But when I first heard this I first thought of Dream Theater(I'm on a Dream Theater binge right now, I realize they came later on)

  • @Joeysmynewfavdrummer Well my friend, you've just found the best Prog band ever assembled. Consider yourself blessed. Millions of people die every day on this planet without the privilege of listening at least for one second a masterpiece created by these musical geniuses. Now submerge yourself inside their body of work. and not only your musical taste will be affected, but in their lyrics, you'll also find they carry a sort of astral messages for you to decipher.

  • @vivelavidarocka that a d genesis

  • Crazy good: buzzing with energy. Saw them in Edinburgh in the late eighties: they played all of close to the edge and it was pure magic. Evangelising at work: nothing like them before or after.

  • Where's that picture from, I know the Yes discography, I've never seen it before.

  • @superdude13666 Its prolly a single for Roundabout

  • @TheBassBender I think its the cover for a 1974 Yes bootleg also called Roundabout.

  • The guitarist and keyboard player it to shabby either.

  • un...real

  • Go listen to RUSH

  • @MegaCrusher99 listening to there bass did make me instantly think of YYZ

  • @thecrum69 Roundabout was published on 1972. Geddy maybe thought about this song when they composed YYZ

  • @MegaCrusher99

    RUSH is good, but dont try to take us away from yes!

  • Fragile è il miglior album degli yes!!!!!!

  • this literally makes me shout YESS when i hear it =]

  • Tried to listen to this... I just couldn't it's just not my thing, glad others like it but I'll stick with my music.

  • perfect song

  • Delicious! that bass playin is pretty trippy and so are all of the instruments and voice...the whole song is just so alive and driving. :-)

  • WOW, this will be epic in Rock Band 3, for the first time, I think I will play bass before guitar.

  • @TheBigjeqc Careful now haha. I play bass and I still can't pull riffs like that. There's alot of boring stuff that comes first. But then you could say that about any instrument so knock yourself out!

  • @TheBigjeqc and i bet its one of the hardest s0ngs f0r the game XD

  • great version

  • Dat bass

  • My FAVORITE YES tune, by FAR...especially this live version. Thanks for posting!!!

  • divine

  • god love all you guys that have a yes song thats able to be found, and then you have a huge amount of yes links. otherwise there annoying to search for on youtube :)

  • Chris Squire is the sperm that fertilized the egg of epic 80s basslines.

  • Incredible!!! Oh the memories!!!

  • Where has this music been all my life!?

  • @gmanrios9316 I know what you mean!

  • Awesome...thanks for posting this!

  • Helluva version--better than the studio recording. Shows what Yes could do on a good day.

  • WoW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thx for up this!!!!

  • I just uploaded a new version of Roundabout feel free to check it out /watch?v=xhwhVCNqj4M

  • the bass real steals !!

  • They always rush the tempo live.

  • rickenbaker bass owned this track

  • What's this version from?

  • live at the house of blues (2000)

  • One of the best renditions of this tune I've heard.

  • i heard this on the radio last night right after i had finished listening to owner of a lonley heart my two favorite yes songs one after another it was a great night

  • woow... que buena cancion--!!

    lastima que ya no hagan canciones asi.! U.U

  • Si las hacen, solo que tienes que buscarlas...

  • This song has such a badass bass line.

  • I agree and the tone his Sun 18's are giving off are bad ass..

  • oh yes from the house of blues. good album. roundabout and awaken are amazing

  • this song makes me wanna party

  • Fucking Rights Brotha!!!!

  • their bassist is crazy good

  • he really is, but the part where most people think is crazy hard, is really easy, and the part everyone thinks is easy is relaly hard lol

  • @koruptmynd666 Indeedy. That would be Chris Squire.

  • @koruptmynd666

    i"ve met Chris Squire before at a concert. I'm gonna try to get my Rickenbacker signed next time i go to a concert.

  • @bassplayaz06 Protip: Just bring the pickguard. That way you don't have to lug your whole big ass Rick. Also, it'll last longer if you keep the pickguard off and maybe you can frame it someday or something. If you like the pickguard on, then just leave it or order a new one. Anyways, yeah. That's what I did when I got my bass signed by Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey

  • My Absolute Favourits of YES earlier music has to be "Turn of the Century" from the album "Going for the one" - and then of course "Madrigal" from the album "Tormato"! Eternal exquisite stuff! - Tobbe in Sweden -

  • wow everything in the song fits together PERFECTLY

  • OMG I love this part "Call it morning driving thru the sound and In and out the valley" besides the chorus that is!

  • You mean creative song.

  • Thank you for posting this.

    Roundabout is possibly my favourite track of theirs

    up YES

  • Sabbath.

  • i saw them on wensday

  • Im about to see them in MI at Comerica. Six days can't wait!

  • I saw them at the Dodge Theater here in PHX.

    Still are the best group in the world.

    The original members are all expert musicians in their own right.

    Howe is my favorite guitarist. I have all of his albums, too.

    Rock on!!!!

  • :D I was there too!

    absolutely amazing show. When Oli Wakeman came in on the end of Starship Trooper it blew my mind.

  • He really filled his dad's shoes pretty well, since the other band members had been playing those songs for years.

    I really missed Jon Anderson. He wrote or cowrote almost every song they did. A lot of peope think he was just a singer, but he is very creative.

    Steve Howe is my favorite guitarist, I have all of his albums.

    Chris Squire is an awesome bassist, he was the first to split the sound into two amps, one as a guitar amp. When I heard Yes when I was in high school, I knew they were top

  • i saw them at the paramount yesterday at 8:00 it was an awsome show

  • Hell yea man Phil Lynott was a beast. Unfortunately the booze & drugs caught up with him at such a young age, but he indeed will be remembered as one of the best. Let's throw a few more on the list that come to mind..Jack Bruce (Cream), Roger Waters (Pink Floyd), Roger Glover (Deep Purple), Francis Buchholz (Scorpions), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Stephen Harris (Iron Maiden), John McVie (Fleetwood Mac), Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister (Motorhead), John Illsly (Dire Straits)...just to name a few more.

  • The bassist in Sly and Family Stone was really good too. Larry Graham.

  • Oh man can Chris Squire ever rock the fuk outta that bass. He's up there with the best...Geddy Lee (Rush), Michael "Flea" Balzary (Red Hot Chili Peppers), John Entwistle (The Who), Les Claypool (Primus)...just to name a few.
