Nice tip about avoiding the "pause".

@MANTLEBERG I'd love to see him play anything on the Wanamaker. Just the thought of RW with those six keyboards and its 28,482 pipes at his disposal is enough to give me goosebumps. What an amazing experience that would be.

I must confess, I clicked because of the blonde hair. Shallow, I know. But I listened because of the voice. My "ah" moment came @ 1:35. Bella vibrato, signora! I'm going to i-tunes to check out your originals immediately.

Steve Howe + Martin guitar, Chris Squire + Rickenbacker bass, Rick Wakeman + Hammond organ: fit like hand in glove.

@ClitDoris Apparently, I can read better than you can write. You used "Yes" in the context of a collective noun referring to a unified group, so the verb should have been "was", not "were". For the record, I like Anderson. But "inspired visionary" is lofty at best. He used a pedestal on stage bec...

Haven't heard this for a long time. Now that "Fly From Here" is out, I can see the similarity in style of "Into the Lens" to that title track, and why it was left off this album back then - would've been redundant. Like FFH, but to a greater degree, without Howe's guitars, this song doesn't have ...

@faningo276 Indeed, it is an ES-345 (good catch). I saw them at Penn's Peak, in Jim Thorpe, PA. Took my 16 year-old son with me. He was blown away. I really wanted him to be able to see Howe perform with Yes. Howe just seems to be in his element when he's with them.

@Andy8519 You can download it from Amazon or if you just want to hear the complete stream, Rolling Stone has it on their website. Search Yes Fly From Here

@xBelindaa "Wow" is your brain's reaction to the full spectrum and power of what music can be. You made me smile :)

Wow, thanks for posting this! I was at this concert and had forgotten how good it was. As the band is coming on stage, if you hear some crazed Yes-head scream "Wakeman!", that's me.

@JimAntics I wasn't commenting on the technical quality - that was excellent for the 70's. My issue is with the post-production and camera angles. Wakeman shares his gift using his hands, not the back of his head. Howe's guitar on Solid Time of Change is some of his most ambitious. What lasting v...

Nice solo at 2:45. Lyrics too mundane, though, for such a rich melody.

@Ghoopty Glad we've cleared that up. One of my top favorite albums is The Yes Album, and of course it features the same Tony Kaye that appears here. Cheers.

Steve jumps in the hot parts of his solos even in rehearsals. The man is definitely into his music (as if there was ever any doubt).

@pushplay Odd, I thought the vocals actually started to improve at that point and were worse leading up to it. Benoit was holding the notes too long and over-stylizing to the point of being ridiculous. As far as the harmonies, keep in mind this is from a hand-held camera - hardly the source to pr...

One of the all-time best. Too bad the filming/editing wasn't equal to the task. A close-up of Chris' boots while Howe is laying down a signature riff? C'mon!
