Yes - America

In the studio with YES as they record America, a song that was released on the Atlantic Promo album, The New Age Of Atlantic, and as a 45 rpm single. Eventually, the song was re-issued on Yesterdays. Now, it's a fan favorite, revived in 1996 for the Keys to Ascension shows recorded in SLO, California.

This was the best Yes lineup ever.

I absolutely adore this performance, this song, this band, this music. wish i had lived in the 60's and 70's i don't much like my generation's music and attitude overall (don't know what they are calling us- the internet generation? teenagers). Love all this old fantastic brilliant stuff. Oh. and peace now! Hehe. <3

@PinkFloydrulez They've all gone to look for America

[PinkFloydrulez]

it seems like every awesome old school band from the era peaked in '71/'72.

i love how weird rick looked back then, and how normal steve looked. Now its the other way around. Jon, Chris, and Bill all look pretty similar to how they look now.

This was rare and awesome but i think it was far earlier than the 72 that they flashed at end of vid. Peter banks left band in April of 70

I have seenYES 23 times in concert, Steve Howe...god playing guitar, happy to be of the 70's generation. This IS the best band ever... hands down

i synched this video up to the album version.

It sounded, awfull, because of the different tapes.

Never knew this even existed! Wow! Love it; but then again, I love all that is YES. Signature sound in all aspects.

This footage never fails to put me into a catatonic swound . . . can't leave it till it's over.
