This song is probably 75% composed by PETER BANKS !! Is that HIM walking away at the Train yard ??!! be cool if it REALLY was Pete !! He deserved to LEAD Yes,maybe that's why they kicked him out,just like Steve Hackett in Genesis !!(obviously,Hackett LEFT,not booted out,but still...)
Questi video non li mostrano nelle TV a tema musicale nemmeno a pagarli!!! Sanno bene che se la gente comincia a "vedere" questi video capisce che c'è un altro mondo musicale di livello superiore e questo non va bene perchè devono vendere musichetta da 4 soldi....
Great song! You can see the talent here - the precise, intricate musicianship, the tightness of the band as a whole. The original lineup definitely had some magic - what people nowadays would call 'the X Factor '. The driving hammond/bass and guitar really work well here. Too bad the original lineup wasn't able to grow and built on stuff like this. It would have been pretty interesting. Poor Steve Howe. It probably bugged him no end having to mime Bank's guitar part.
@DavidRavenMoon 'Lifetime' from Flash's 'In The Can' album features Pete Bank's at his best and shows that Banks was more than capable of holding his own against people like Steve Howe, Pete Townshend, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Paige. Too bad his difficult personality prevented him from scoring major success. He had a nasty habit of abandoning bands/projects one after another until, by 1983, when Yes was scoring with 90125, he was broke and sleeping in a friend's garage. A real pity.
@mawel1955 I like Banks, and like Flash and his other solo projects a lot. I like Howe also, but they have very different styles. Howe is more staccato and likes a lot of scalular runs. Banks had a more fluid sound. I got to see Flash back in the late 70s or early 80s, but it was just the bass player and all new people.
What a fuckin amazing Hammond and bass sound!Man I like that fat sound.Uriah Heep,Deep Purple,Yes,Atomic Rooster,ELP,Steppenwolf...man their sound was so freakin fat!
Go to Mandrake Root at 4:29. They also do it again right before the song end. Then compare with what Yes does here at 2:11.
My using the word "stolen" is probably wrong. It is neat the way these bands influenced each other. In fact the Banks/Kaye era of Yes play much more like early Deep Purple than they do, say, Genesis or King Crimson.
Always loved this song, but the part which begins at 2:11 was stolen from Deep Purple's "Mandrake Root", 1968. Anyone who knows that Purple song will recognize it instantly.
@genesisfan3 Sort of, it's kinda similar, but not a total rip-off. Both bands took on classical influences, and it sounds like an orchestral crescendo.
@genesisfan3 Uhm, most of "Mandrake Root" is a rip off of jimi hendrix' "foxy lady" anyways. I like deep purple, but don't even try to compare them to YES.
@jackoe123 You're absolutely right. In fact, Ritcie Blackmore of Deep Purple routinely used other people's riffs. But, c'mon, early Deep Purple and early Yes had much similarities, as opposed to what Genesis and King Crimson sounded like then.
How embarrassing for Steve Howe that he had to mime over Peter Banks' guitar here! BTW there is a 1971 live recording of Steve playing this song for real, on the Yes archival album "The Word Is Live".
@a1rf0rce1992 No real specific connection to the song as far as I can tell. Just an attempt to be surreal. Wiki says Magritte "challenges observers' preconditioned perceptions of reality." Psychedelia in general, and Yes in particular, including on this song, shared that notion, I think.
no offense to steve hes one of the best rock guitarists in history, but y the fuck does he look like a girl in this video. he was fucking scaring me lol.
@sal1234kolis That my friend is the incomparable Tony Kaye, the original keyboardist, who left shortly before the Fragile album was released partly because he wanted to continue to feature his organ and didn't care much for the new synthesizers. Rick Wakeman replaced him and re-recorded Tony's parts on Heart of the Sunrise and Starship Trooper. The rest is history...although Tony did return to Yes for a brief time in the mid 80's.
