Yes Masterworks - "The Gates Of Delirium" (Part 2)

Masterworks Tour. Holmdel, New Jersey July 19, 2000. From a DVD of the SFX webcast. Sound appears to have been taken from a different source and synced up with the video (somewhat badly at times).

Relayer is an absolute masterpiece

I think "Gates of Delerium" killed prog simply because it was impossible to do better.

@LMMEjsmith Absolutely...He got something uniquely imaginative because plays SOUND as well as music...He creates atmosphere instead just only getting the music right.BUT he also works every moment with passion. Nothing is wasted. The same with Chris. Every movement is handled with passion. It's a way of seeing sound that YES had that was different the most groups. THat's why there music transcended beyong 'songs'.

@JimSVoit MY GAWD... at 16 years old In 72 I saw YES tripping for the first time during CTTE tour and never again would I we see YES without it!!! Never again! It is absolutely LIFE CHANGING. I can;'t even explain! I saw this show tripping. also The Ladder and with the LA Orchestra. "THERE IS A GOD"...I kept saying! The music is beautifully intense and organic. It's own life force separate from the players. IT IS PURE MAGIC on EARTH! Best band in any state. Psychedelic or California :)

@ElFlakoRompanTodo I never heard this while tripping, but I think it would be life-changing. I did listen to The Ancient, which was truly magnificent. It really opened my ears to the brilliant layered percussion by Alan White. Listen closely, and you'll see what I mean. I'm far past those days of experimentation, but I sure don't regret it at all. Yes is the greatest band to listen to in that state, in my opinion. In reality, they're the greatest band to listen to in any state! :D

@alanbudden

He he, a VERY good point. I felt it could never be matched when it was released around 1973/74

It is only some fusion music that play in the same division, but this is even more feeling - you are being transformed to an imaginary epic music story. The best song ever !

damn Jonny, belt that shit!

[roccotool]

Yeah, that's Igor on keys. Too bad it's not Moraz.

[LMMEjsmith]

This is awesome! Thanks for uploading, i'm learning guitar just watching Steve Howe do his thing. His work is much more than a writing style and some effect pedals.

[LMMEjsmith]

@KLezlie strange you should say that, i'll have to listen for it as i watch this, but in the video preceding it he seemed to perform quite effortlessly.

@MMOAvideos They're still performing. In some ways this past decade has been the best. They've dug up gems they haven't performed since the seventies, and a couple they've never performed live (South Side of the Sky)

[becsaighead]

@Semente200 Yup. Best of the entire canon, with this at the pinnacle.
