Love this song, but its great, its about chess.. love that dam game..I play it only for fun. I can hold my own. I love chess and this song is just great have been a fan for a loooooooooong time..
Wow, takes me back to really great times. Friends house, circle of friends, dream like state, no cares, safe, loved, candle in the middle of the floor, incense, strange how music can take you on a soul journey
@annwags Yes is like a fine wine. Most people dont understand good wine from bad when they are young. Over time some begin to appreciate good wine from the bad.
You know Steve Howe looked fairly handsome and groomed in this video.. What happened to him anyway? He looks like he got run over by an ugly truck than beaten with an ugly log then got poked a few times with an ugly stick then brushed his teeth with an ugly twigbrush.
In response to Kickdrum09 about what happened to Steve Howe at time code 2:24: Watch him carefully at the end of his "siezure" where he smiles as he approaches the mic. For those of you who are either not performing musicians or have never been on large venue stages before. Note that the siezure begins when the band comes up loud. Without a doubt there was way too much keyboard in his stage monitor and he wasn't expecting it. Mystery solved.
Yep. Definitely looks like a massive wedge blast sent him backing away.
Interestingly, he singing pretty flat in the sections before and shooting looks over his shoulder to the monitor desk. Perhaps an intended increase in Steve vocal monitor resulted in a really loud blast of organ.

i agree w/ you , alls you have to do is listen ...Jon is pretty much on key, now sometimes their harmonies are off, so it might be Steve or Chris thats off a bit.
I can't figure it out, this song is brilliantly simple....and yet even from his hand positions I can't tell what chords he's playing. I've got that "E" is the first one...but that's it. Anyone know what the other 3 are for the intro?
Oh, I recognize that chord sequence, it's been used in like 48 thousand songs. I'm not saying this isn't a great song of course. Anyway, you don't have to reposition your fingers or anything - after the E it's
