this music is timeless, and this song in particular is a yes classic. nothing will ever compare to thw greatness of yes, but their is definitely still musicians out there churning out compositions worthy of our attention. korekyojin plays a yes medley that is absolutely amazing, and their jackson cd blows my mind. yes is still influencing certain musicians if you know where to look. great upload, timeless band absolutely.
I am a bigger fan of this lineup. I thought the drums took a melodic back seat to the music when Bruford left. One listen to Fragile or CTTE confirms that. Imagine that kind of interplay if Bruford had played on, say, Tormato.
Not that I don't like Alan White, but Bruford always had more finesse and excitement.
Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Squire and Steve Howe. Wow, what a bunch of musicians. Too bad it doesn't last. I think that Yessong is their best album, we feel some kind of energy in it.
okay, so we don't agree. I thought the studio albums leading up to Yessongs (i.e., The Yes Album, Fragile and CTTE) were all simplistic musically. In concert, Steve was the most creative in coming up with different jams for Perpetual Change, Yours is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper. Their live music at that time had a much more fuller sound. And I can say besides, that every concert I saw them in from the Rabin years to ABWH to Union and beyond were exceptional musical performances.
Great song. Anyone seen a video for the queens park show of this song? The intro is really long and cool. It was taken down a while ago and it's one of my favorites.
Remember people, on the coming months of September to December, there were 2 volcanoes that would erupt in the US, the name of these volcanoes have something to do with faith.

osummuso said: "Go read some history and before you start casting aspersions at others"
Given your laughably inaccurate claims about Scots's "inventions," obviously it's YOU that needs to "go read some history."
Your very life is courtesy of the monumental valor & sacrifices made by America (and the Brits & Russians) in WWII & the Cold War. Your gratitude is overwhelming. -rolls eyes-
I was referring to England-proper (as opposed to Great Britain as a whole). I think you knew that, but I'll concede that I could have made a clearer distinction. I'm sure there were Scots in the RAF, and I could have also phrased things more clearly there as well.
Without going into a long discussion, what exactly is the reason for the continuing acrimony between Scotland and England? I'm aware of what went on in the 1600s & 1700s, but isn't it time to move past that? Just curious.
Going back to the 80's, the whole of Scotland voted against Maggie Thatche's Conservatives for four successive terms of Ministry, while she destroyed production and industry, introduced taxation (see poll tax) in Scotland a year before anywhere else
Our vote made no difference.
We are a proud nation, just like the Apache.
Give us back our land and let us choose how we live....
Not subject us to the whims of a toffee nosed, chinless wonder in London.
Not to sound like some ego dude. I booked Yes as an opeing act to The Kinks for 500 dollars (this line up) in nov of '71 and had them back as a headliner on a tuesday 2/28/72 and they sold out the theatre in hours...GREAT FUCKING times.
The song does not date 1970.. As awaken said earlier, the song was written in 71 and the intro to the video clearly shows " sounding out 1972". And that is definitely Wakeman, in a dress I think...
Johnnywr said, "I am Scottish. Believe me! Americans owe the Scots a LOT! "
While I'm admittedly no expert on Scotland, I am American and have a generally positive view of your country.
Having said that, I'm not aware of anything we "owe" Scotland. OTOH, you, mate, would be speaking German if it weren't for us "North American types" and your brethren to the south (particularly the heroic RAF) kicking the Nazis out of Europe. Perhaps you've got that "owing" thing backwards? *wink*
Scottish people are the inventors of the telephone, television, steam engine, tarmac and Anti-Biotics for starters.
More to the point. American bankers were funding Nazi Germany until Churchill conned you into joining the war and America took the complete piss out of europe financially ever since.
Go read some history and before you start casting aspersions at others;
Give the Apache Indians back their land for a start!
And claiming the Scot James Watt "invented" the steam engine is laughable. He improved on existing steam engines already invented by Savery, Papin and Newcommen (all non-Scots).
Tarmac's inventor, Edgar Hooley, was purely British, not Scottish.
Lastly, Fleming did not invent antibiotics. He discovered penicillin, but nothing came of it until Chain and Florey (German & Australian, respectively) came along 10 yrs later and developed it into medicine. Fleming shared his Nobel prize with them.
The Apaches? What do the Apaches have to do with America or Scotland?
I haven't read up on the Apaches since college, and that's been awhile. So I don't have a full grasp of the subject at hand. Regardless, what I do remember is that they were supposedly screwed over pretty good by the govt. at the time. But virtually every developed country has shameful behavior in its past, so what's your point?
Regardless, there wouldn't be a Scotland if the U.S. & the Brits hadn't defeated Hitler.
Quote: "American bankers were funding Nazi Germany until Churchill conned you into joining the war and America took the complete piss out of europe financially ever since."
-- Kool Aid alert --
You'll have to provide alleged details (which presumably will be as full of inaccuracies as your Scottish "inventors" hyperbole) if I'm to reply to that.
What I will say is that the only "financial piss being taken out of Europe" has been due to its spectacularly failed choice of socialism.

To all those North American types....Fragile was released in the UK in November 1971 and released in North America on January 4th, 1972. Fragile was 1971....and only 1972 to North Americans. I am Scottish. Believe me! Americans owe the Scots a LOT!
Music is universal man.. By your thinking, the rest of the world owes Great Britain for the Beatles? Most musicians have nothing to do with their government, so try not to associate musicianship with nationality.. It cheapens it..

Recorded live In Hemel Hempstead, England (I think) in October 1971, first shown on BBC TV Britain early in 1972. Rick Wakeman had been in the band for little over a month when this was recorded. What a trooper!
yeah the on the keyboards is definitely the great rick wakeman, and it also says "Sounding Out 1972" at the beginning of the video. Besides tony kaye was no blonde.

Wow, are you ignorant. None of those things were invented solely by Scots.
The phone, in particular, was the result of a long collaboration of MANY non-Scottish people without whom Bell would never have succeeded at all.
Television's development also owes much to the work of other non-Scots (particularly 2 Americans) as it does to the Scot Baird.
