In the 70s, when FM radio was born, it was the medium without commercial restrictions where time limits didn’t exist. DJs regularly played entire sides of albums and bands knew they had the freedom to expand well beyond the 3 minute AM format and still get radio play. While AM DJs shouted rapid fire between screeching, annoying ads, FM offered an escape from the noise with low key DJs with calm, resonant voices and equally inoffensive commercials that respected the whole vibe. It was all about the music and exploring new cultural and sonic landscapes without being assaulted by salesmen. The early days of FM were incredible. Corporations changed all that. FM became AM and AM became talk radio.

"Heart of the Sunrise" would be a must-listen then for Chris Squire as well as Bill Bruford (the drummer, another legend). The bass/drum combo pretty much drives that entire song, but the immediate melodic breakdown and buildup right after the intro is just so deceptively good. The song itself begins by punching you directly in the face, then cradles you like a baby for a bit only to vacillate between fits of calm and unease, periodically startling you awake violently only to soothe you back into slumber before ultimately leaving you wide-eyed and panting, drenched in your own sweat.

You might play each side of the LP several times. You are learning about music that came out long before you were born but has influenced music and musicians since that time. Now you are learning where things came from....Just as I learned at that time where musical influences came from...like the acoustic guitar section you found so surprising...that was influenced by a musician named Chet Atkins.

They need to hear Yes tear up a rock song-it’s time for “Heart of the Sunrise”. It’s a banger, Steve Howe just on fire, and it's a competitive reaction to King Crimson’s 21st Century Schizoid Man. I think they'd appreciate the outright power coupled with gentility that Yes brings on that song. A&A are ready. And they were not for Close to the Edge-I wish they had waited on that one.

And for an encore they played this masterpiece. I am so grateful I was able to introduced them to Yes. When I watch y'all get immersed in this song, you're my surrogate sons, completely understanding the magnificence of Yes. I am a Florida native from the Tampa Bay area, born in Clearwater.

Chris Squire's bass part in the final section of this song is a master class in building tension towards a climax- from the pedal tones in the beginning to his moving up the octaves. When he finally comes back down at the beginning of the guitar solo, the whole thing explodes. It's one of the things that drove me to become a better bass player. I also love the distortion and temolo on his sound. He was one of the first to use chorus, distortion, tremolo, etc. I would recommend "South Side of the Sky" or "Heart of the Sunrise" both from the Fragile album.

Yes, there were a few stations that played Close to the Edge (my favorite). I listened mostly to WNEW radio. Their AM counterpart played big band music, but their FM counterpart played this. What was odd is that some of the DJs were on the AM and FM side just in different time slots. Does anyone else remember Alison Steele?

My older brother use to bring home the Nightbird and Company vinyl LPs that were distributed in the early 1970s to KOCU on campus radio at Creighton University. Loved her voice. I should also mention he brought home the unusual albums from a group that KOCU wouldn't play on the air because their songs were too long.

Yes!! Love me some Yes!! Saw them 3 times between mid-70's and early 82, first time in RFK Stadium. Even though I was just learning to play guitar, during "Roundabout ", I stood about 20 feet in front of the bandstand and was totally transfixed on Chris Squire. Absolutely blew me away, I remember that feeling all of these years later!! Great side story, Saturday I was at the dump with one of my son's. An older gentleman pulls up next to us, he gets out of his truck and I see something that makes me start up a conversation with him about our shared concert experiences. His tee shirt said "I might be old but I got to see some of the greatest rock bands in history " YES!!!!

Would also recommend "I've Seen All Good People" from "The Yes Album" in their early period. I think the best from Yes was "And You and I" and "Awaken", both lengthy, "lost in the sauce" prog classics that are tighter and more coherent than "Close to the Edge." They are terrific instrumentally with interesting lyrics exploring Jon Anderson's experiences with spirituality generally and meditation specifically. Chris Squire was a huge influence on Geddy Lee from Rush, as good a rock bassist as there has been. Steve Howe's guitar is remarkable. Rick Wakeman was in and out of the band and terrific on keyboards.

Listening to Yes for the first time out of chronological order is almost as bad as listening to Radiohead out of order. Some of what's so awesome about the two bands is hearing how they developed and honed their craft with each album. So I would highly recommend listening to another track or two off this awesome album. My first choice would be "I've Seen All Good People". But also, "Yours is No Disgrace" and "Perpetual Change" are really good. And if you want to hear some more of Steve Howe's incredible Chet Atkins inspired acoustic guitar picking, listen to "(The) Clap". It's actually a live cut, and for the longest time I thought it had to be overdubbed because I thought one person couldn't play all that simultaneously. Steve can. Thanks, thanks, thanks for doing more Yes! Glad to see your appreciation of this amazing band develop. Stay safe, be well. Peace from SF

That was an awesome read on the song when you said that it was almost like they built the song around Squire's bass since that's literally whet they did. They would have sit downs to discuss what He could add to his already incredible interpretation of a song and then build the rest off of that collective creation. Pretty cool. His bass style was the driving force and it just jumped up and slapped you in the face heh. Just another bass player geeking out over one of my early idols. He was amazing on bass and equally impressive on his backup vocals. He so perfectly blended with Jon and his range was crazy.

Seen Yes over 50 times live since 1972. Jon Anderson, vocalist, and Chris Squire, bassist, are fabulous music creators. Starship is one of my favorite, but you have to listen to the live, long, version once Rick Wakeman, (keyboards), joins yes and makes Starship twice as good. Being one of the most talented keyboardist on the planet, coupled with Steve Howe, guitarist, dueling together in the live version makes this song incredible. My Favorite YES song of all time is Awaken (Live)...Jon's voice near the end brings tears to my eyes...You must listen to that song! Thanks for playing YES...and Thanks for your presentation!

Also, as talented Steve Howe is, you have to give props to Trevor Rabin. He took the sound to another level. Keys to Ascension is the shi@ also. IMO, the two live versions referenced above give a push to being my favorite finale songs....beating out Free Bird and Stairway. Prove me wrong. Luv what you guys do. Keep it up.
