After 40 years, CTTE still brings a tear to my eye. I'm sure I'll be saying that in another 10. A truly spiritually inspired work that has not seen an equal and probably never will.

I was just remembering when I saw them on my birthday in '04, CTTE is my favorite song by Yes and I've been a fan of theirs since about 1972. I was teasing my wife all the way down to Atlantic City that once I heard those birds chirping I was going to fire up a bowl. Guess what, karma must've been in the air or what but they opened the show with CTTE! Wow! What a birthday present! It's almost like they knew! What a coincidence!

Sheer and utter brilliance. When I first got the album in 1972 and listened to the title track, I saw God. These guys with Rick Wakeman on the original LP went beyond the realm. A true masterpiece in every dimension.

I think my brain just melted... truly amazing live rendition of the studio version. Truly these men are magicians of music.
Yes came along at the culmination of a kind of Renaissance that developed after the early '60's music got its shot in the arm by The Beatles, et al. What they had over all of the others was a really intense talent and work ethic to create/compose music - beyond anything that had existed in popular music up to that time. They took music up like the great musical masters had done. They are on a par with Beethoven, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky. The Beatles started things; Yes completed them.
