thank God i was a teenager in the 70's best time for music,,,yes, rush, pink floyd..went to so many shows in new york city @ madison square garden..saw van halen open for black sabbath in "78" ..damn those days were great !!!!
Bought this when it came out, still listening to it today. For people buying contemporary music today, I seriously doubt they'll be listening to it 35 years from now.
@corum428 You are correct sir. Pink Floyd would be a somewhat close third. I hope you mean Peter Gabriel Genesis with maybe the first two(t.o.t.t and w.a.w) Phil Collins lead albums.I also prefer the earlier Yes( The Yes Album, album with Roundabout and Heart of the Sunrise....forgot the name,Close to the Edge,Relayer,Going for the One''''Awaken''', and T.F.T.O.). I also think The very first two albums with Peter Banks and Tony Kaye are very good for laying their future greatness.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. I also remember that when my friend and i first bought the tickets we were offered Stoke stadium the following week first, but plumped for QPR instead. Good job too because the support group at Stoke was The Alex Harvey Band, who took Stoke by storm.
Burn their children's laughter onto hell, Anderson at his best. Always wanted a humbug suit like squires and a triple neck bass,what a poser, good though.
Yep! Thats me. What a scruffy git I was back then. I tried to get my mate, who went with me to stand up as well, but being around 6' 7" he was a little self conscious.
I went to see them at this concert. If you watch the dvd, at the end of 'Close to the Edge' the camera pans around the audience, and there in the middle of everyone seated on the floor, one stupid knob stands up waving his arms; yep, that was me. That was my 1st Yes concert, but not my last.
Haha you gotta love Steve Howe, how many other guitarists back then had a lute behind them onstage? I saw Yes earlier this year in Michigan, leaned on the stage in front of Steve most of the night. He gave me a lot of funny looks, including a 'get the hell away from my pedalboard' look during Starship Trooper. When they played Close to the Edge, I hung close and stared at his ES-345 most of the song - I ended up purchasing one in walnut thanks in part to him. Awesome guitarist! Inspiration!
they open for no one, plain and simple. they are the most creative and patient progressive band ever, and ever. Absolutely brilliant. Others have moments, yes has moments and moments and more moments. they are the mozart's of today.
they open for no one, plain and simple. they are the most creative and patient progressive band ever, and ever. Absolutely brilliant. Others have moments, yes has moments and moments and more moments. they are so patient. the mozart's of today.
it's Partrick Moraz who joined the band after Vagelis ( close friend to Anderson ) turned them down to go on solo,,,with Albedo 0,39 , chariots of fire , etc..
I know this is going to ridiculous to some, but latter (1977 and past) Grateful Dead is very similar to Yes. How about long complicated pieces in odd time signatures by magnificant musicains? Try Terrapin Station by the Dead, or a good Youtube version of Estimated Prophet (Dead) . As crazy as it sounds, you will be surprised at the similarities. Don't compare an old 60's version of a dead country song to Close To the Edge, but compare Terrapin Station to Close to the Edge.
@lakemichigan100 Damn I wish I could remember/find the exact interview, not even sure of which Yes member it was, but I remember reading someone in Yes say that they saw a spill-over of travelling Deadheads on the Yes tours in the period when Jerry passed and the Dead was disbanding. You are more astute in your observation than you think!
FOR THE MOST PART THERE IS NOT REALLY A PROGRESSIVE MUSIC STAND NOW-THERE WILL ALWAYS BE POP MUSIC BUT COMPARED TO THAT TIME I COULD COUNT EASILY 50 GOOD (BAD) PROGRESSIVE BANDS (WITH GREAT MUSICIANS) OUT BACK THEN I DOUBT IF THERE ARE 15 NOW THATS ARE AS SPIRITED WITH FEEL AND HEART(i dont mean people who can play progressive cuz they have chops i MEAN FEEL THE DAYUM MUSIC )THERE IS big difference!
saw them on this tour in 1975 at the old Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis. Seen them a dozen times over the years, the last time being last year (minus Anderson). Never have there or will there be another collection of such musicians and composers.
@StiffyMU My friend, his wife, and myself and my wife are going to Nashville to see them late July along with Styx. Am really psyched to go since I never have seen either band. By the way, are you from the Missouri area seeing how you saw them at Kiel. I saw KISS there in the late 70's, early 80's when they had really taken off in popularity. Great show at a great venue at the time.
As a young fool I gave up on YES because I was expecting 'better' following on from close to the edge. I simply didnt realise that 'different' was also perfectly acceptable!
carl lombard ....had to listen to this more than once to appreciate it! ben to more Yes and rundgren concerts than any other. froze ass off at topographic oceans...at old tampa stadium...heard only at end of side 2.
Chris Squire is just mind boggling...All you bass players out there know how difficult singing and playing bass is...Chris does it all at the highest level and makes it look easy...It makes me crazy !
I loved Yes dearly when I was 16. But there is a very good reason why Spinal Tap could hit the nail on the head regarding bands like these. "Indulgence" partly covers what was going on in the 1970's. All that is missing is the Stonehenge stage prop.
This tour was the 1st time I & my friends saw them, at the Denver Coliseum, summer of 1975. It was the end of a 3+ year wait to see My Favorite Band Of All Time, & I felt so lucky to be seeing them on the Relayer tour, arguably the greatest album they ever did. The concert kicked major ass, of course. Then, when we got back home to my college town of Kearney, Nebraska, the next day we found out Yes was playing in 2 weeks in Lincoln, NE. We about leapt for joy. 2 weeks later, we were with Yes!
@oliasdoug I love these stories that people share. Everybody grows up in their own neighborhoods in the 70s but it's fascinating to hear about people with the same experiences during that time from different parts of the world.
I have seen Yes several times, but the Relayer tour I'll never forget. I was standing very near the front in a crush of fans (indoor festival seating), the smoke was thick and it was hot as h3ll. All of a sudden I felt like I should have a seat (OK, I'd had a couple of drinks) I made a lateral move because I knew there were actual seats there, and the next thing I remember was being snatched up off the floor by two huge cops. I remember looking at the band from BEHIND the stage on my way out :-(
@timin770 Sorry about that but it's still a great story - I get a lot of people who share their own experiences here and I NEVER get tired of reading them
@Tommygun1028 yeah, it broke my heart because once I got out into the night air I felt great. Yes was my favorite group in those days, hands down. Thirty-five years later I still have the ticket stub
Funny... I was a Yes fan 30 years ago, but never gave RELAYER a chance. I recently downloaded it and WOW - it's like a just-released Yes album for me. Easily my favorite album "released" in 2010!
Patrick Moraz is a talented player, but live performance was not his strong suit (and on this particular DVD it seems like the soundman - no surprise, it being Eddie Offord - had some moments when he just blacked out; key moments where Steve is completly drowned out by the keyboards). But he did help give us Relayer, one of the best five Yes albums, so... Blessed be thy name, you big cheesy Swiss!
Simply unbelievable. Incredible talent. These guys leave all other musicians in the dust. After listening to Yes for the past 39 years, I just can't listen to some of the crappola that is out nowadays. You know what I'm talkin about.....dudes with shaved heads and goatees and earrings and tattoos blasting out total musical garbage and thinking they are great. DUH!!!! What a pathetic joke. Yes members demonstrate what real musicianship is.
@pecanpie100 I couldn't agree more. I'm a Yes fan since Relayer was released (and keep in mind that by that time it was hard to find any rock albums here in Brazil, let alone progressive rock ...). Yes REALLY changed my life, and I mean it. Besides loving their music, I'm so grateful for what they somehow helped me achieving.
@pecanpie100 True. I have been a YES head for 32 years, and they are and have been, my very favorite band, such joy they bring to me. I just saw them live here in Seattle about 6 months ago, and I was seated right in front of Steve Howe. They sounded just like the 70s and sounded just like the records. It was great.
@pecanpie100 - As a long time Yes fan, and a progressive rock fan from the early days, AND as a musician who still follows the trends in Rock Music, I completely disagree with your assessment ... Sure; you are entitled to your feelings, and you cannot be 'wrong' about what you personally dislike, but I hear quite a few bands that carry the torch of creating amazing music that is full of spirit and expansive artistry.
People like Trent Reznor and Arcade Fire have made some amazing music ...
@pecanpie100 - You are free to hate them as well .... But I think such hatred is unwarranted and blinds you, perhaps, to what they have to offer fans of rock music. There will NEVER be another Yes, and why would there be ? .... Like there will never be another pecanpie100 (Maybe a pecanpie101 or pecanpie200, but NEVER another pecanpie100!) ... Like there is only one TrajanGregory ... We don't need another Yes - We need creative artists willing to break down expectations in an artful manner
@Lengsel7 I had been listening to Yes for years before this double live album came out and when I heard it, I was blown away. Strangely enough, I was flicking through my iPod music last week and listened to this for the first tiem in about 4-5 years I should think. It still has the same effect on me.
I was there great gig. I believe it was the last time they used the Roger Dean designed stage set. Patrick Moraz is no Rick Wakeman but a passable substitute.
@MusicStudioTV, this is not the version of this song on Yesshows. This version of the song was recordred live in Queens Park Football Stadium in London in May 1975. The version on Yesshows was recorded live in Detroit, USA in August 1976. The reason the Yesshows version sounds tighter is that after a year and a half of playing this song they knew which parts worked and which parts didn`t...ie, the strange `fighting` synth effect (during the `battle scene`) and a better mix in general.
MusicStudioTV, I agree this is excellent footage, I am a fan of the Wakeman Yes, but I agree Moraz is delivering some damage to my existence here... One of my favorite Yes cuts...
Outstanding! It sounds like they used this for the Yesshows version and maybe brushed it up in the studio. This sounds very close to that recording. Steve Howe rules! I wish they show Patrick Moraz? I thought Moraz brought new life to Yes. Wakeman is cool, but Relayer and Yesshows are out-a-sight man! out-a-sight! Very cool video only for the true Yes fan!
my older sisters turned me on to the progressive rock scene of the 70's, to include YES, Pink FLoyd, Genesis- man, this shit was the bomb diggety back then, music had soul and heart
@CarlloLombardo I Regret My First Impression back in '74...Sounded AT FIRST like a Tull/Yes competition...Passion Play Was the first in the series here in Los Angeles...But I'm Older and wiser now...Tull and Yes are Apples and Oranges...I dearly LOVE the Relayer album ^5 Yes
Who cares what Wakeman says....He didn't create this MASTERPIECE... Only MORAZ could have like Wakey did with CTTE. THIS is YES at there ZENITH of power and glory. There was no holding back during this era. They put all inabitions aside to create a timeless gem
I saw them in 1976 on this tour in Fresno, CA. FANTASTIC show, the mass of lasers at the end of The Gates of Delirium were absolutely mind blowing. The staging was more elaborate as I think they had Roger Dean design it. Great memory.
Sound Chaser is one of the coolest songs by YES that most people know nothing about. I've never heard it on the radio. The first time I heard it, when I bought the Relayer album, I was like - 'how come they play roundabout, long distance, all good people, but not this? What the...
This song kicks. Radio stations suck. They don't have the guts to go out on a limb & play stuff like this.
I've called them, but they say stuff like 'it's not on our list'. Give me a break. What cowards.
I hear it, its a clean electric with phase shifter, loud and very up in mix. his playing is very solid. @ 1:50 and @ 3:00 you really hear it. Listen at 3:35 almost all u here.
Chris Squire is the stellar member of this cast..........think about the talent it takes to play this way and sing...............He is mind boggling.........and such a great guy !
"Gates of The Delirium", una pieza épica acerca de la estupidez de una cultura basada en la exclusión y el permanente enfrentamiento, que comienza con las alegres y optimistas acordes, representando la fe confrontación, ya sea frente a los enemigos ideológicos, políticos o de los intereses de la patria, seguida del subsecuente caos, muerte.
i got to see yes like 5 times all different versions.
this tour i saw in a packed stadium with peter frampton comes alive.yes played in the dark with lasers it was phenomenal .whole album.this stuff was their noisiest album ,but in my opinion their coolest ,heaviest stuff .jon was really ripping here!
I was there at QPR as a 17 year old ( giving my age away) I remember being in the underground toward the end of the concert and hearing Ritual bellowing through the tunnel, Bliss!
Wakeman and Moraz I bet that would have made a hell of a duo. What Mozart's rondo for two pianos would have sounded like!

@Lengsel7 I had been listening to Yes for years before this double live album came out and when I heard it, I was blown away. Strangely enough, I was flicking through my iPod music last week and listened to this for the first tiem in about 4-5 years I should think. It still has the same effect on me.

I was there great gig. I believe it was the last time they used the Roger Dean designed stage set. Patrick Moraz is no Rick Wakeman but a passable substitute.

@MusicStudioTV, this is not the version of this song on Yesshows. This version of the song was recordred live in Queens Park Football Stadium in London in May 1975. The version on Yesshows was recorded live in Detroit, USA in August 1976. The reason the Yesshows version sounds tighter is that after a year and a half of playing this song they knew which parts worked and which parts didn`t...ie, the strange `fighting` synth effect (during the `battle scene`) and a better mix in general.

MusicStudioTV, I agree this is excellent footage, I am a fan of the Wakeman Yes, but I agree Moraz is delivering some damage to my existence here... One of my favorite Yes cuts...

Outstanding! It sounds like they used this for the Yesshows version and maybe brushed it up in the studio. This sounds very close to that recording. Steve Howe rules! I wish they show Patrick Moraz? I thought Moraz brought new life to Yes. Wakeman is cool, but Relayer and Yesshows are out-a-sight man! out-a-sight! Very cool video only for the true Yes fan!

Who cares what Wakeman says....He didn't create this MASTERPIECE... Only MORAZ could have like Wakey did with CTTE. THIS is YES at there ZENITH of power and glory. There was no holding back during this era. They put all inabitions aside to create a timeless gem

I saw them in 1976 on this tour in Fresno, CA. FANTASTIC show, the mass of lasers at the end of The Gates of Delirium were absolutely mind blowing. The staging was more elaborate as I think they had Roger Dean design it. Great memory.

Sound Chaser is one of the coolest songs by YES that most people know nothing about. I've never heard it on the radio. The first time I heard it, when I bought the Relayer album, I was like - 'how come they play roundabout, long distance, all good people, but not this? What the...
This song kicks. Radio stations suck. They don't have the guts to go out on a limb & play stuff like this.
I've called them, but they say stuff like 'it's not on our list'. Give me a break. What cowards.

The greatness of Yes is known to its core fans. Roundabout, Owner, etc are songs I pass by. And You And I is the DNA of Yes.

I have Sound Chaser live on at least one boot. They performed it during the Relayer tour.

"Gates of The Delirium", una pieza épica acerca de la estupidez de una cultura basada en la exclusión y el permanente enfrentamiento, que comienza con las alegres y optimistas acordes, representando la fe confrontación, ya sea frente a los enemigos ideológicos, políticos o de los intereses de la patria, seguida del subsecuente caos, muerte.
