@@DandyLion662a I love the "yessongs", concert album. Especially the interplay between epic Guitar Hero Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman in full Keyboard Wizard mode on 'Wurm' at the conclusion of "Starship Trooper". It is worth the price of admission all by itself. I have both the triple LP and the double CD releases (viva physical media!). The one exception would be for the studio version of "Close To The Edge" This one could be kind of tricky to find as I believe it was only on the remastered SACD from Audio Fidelity (AFZ 147), but Steve Hoffman absolutely nailed the church pipe organ. That whole disk is creme de la creme.

He joined Yes for that tour with only three days to prepare a full concert of some of the trickiest rock music ever recorded. By the time the performances on the album were recorded, he had still only been with the band about nine or ten months, and had already made his stamp on their sound. As much as I love Bill Bruford's drumming, when he left for King Crimson and Alan White joined Yes, both bands ended up with the drummers they should have had the whole time.

In a Songfacts interview with Yes frontman Jon Anderson, he explained: "The song is about initiation of yourself into the idea that there is more to life than war and fighting within religions and things like that. So when we were singing 'see all good people,' it's like, 'we can see you all in the audience because you're good people no matter what, and when you're with music you're enlightened, you're good, you're happy, you're excited.' And music is the kingpin of it all. It's not just Yes, it's music that brings people together like no other energy on such a level."

1974, a college friend of my husband and I was working with Rick Wakeman on one of the first synthesizers, when they came to Connecticut. We were invited to the concert and back stage after the performance. They made such trippy music-- I mean Wakeman wore a cape on stage--for such down to earth guys. And they couldn't have been lovelier to me (the only woman in a room full of rowdy men). Even made me a cup of tea...the following year, when they returned to The Palace, my youngest was sick, so I stayed home. My husband returned with a plate full of little cakes and crumpets, and the band's regards. I joked, for years, that I was the woman YES let get away. Haven't thought about that in decades. Thanks for that. ❤❤

What glory days for rock. The bands you mention introduced rock fans to a sound that here to fore had few progressive bands. Bands like Vanilla Fudge, Music Machine and Procol Harum were few and far between. Sure, the Beatles, the Doors, and Rolling Stones also broke new ground, but the sheer musical virtuosity of the of the groups here reached new levels. I think that YES was the most talented of all prog groups because of the intricacy of some of their songs...the ability of the group to change tempo in the middle of a song is unmatched in rock history...in my opinion. Their harmonies almost matched the best of Crosby, Stills and Nash. The innovations they brought to the genre were immense. As Steely Dan, Van Morrison, and Traffic made jazz palatablle in rock, YES took it to a new level and most listeners never picked up on that...Steve Howe, Bill Bruford ans Chris Squires all had jazz backrounds. Anyway, I ramble here. But in my opinion, YES was in the top 5 rock bands of all time. Thanks for listening.

"Art Rock" is a difficult concept to pin down, invented by music journalists describing everything from Phil Spector's early work in the '60s to The Beatles, to The Beach Boys, especially as it evolved through the '70s (Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, King Crimson, to a degree.) The '80s saw a very different inflection, with the digital revolution. "Progressive Rock," a much more forgiving term (also invented by music journalists) is a much-more agreed upon genre to describe a band like Yes, as I've seen it. Like, I could see calling early Genesis performances with Peter Gabriel in various "outrageous" costumes/masks "Art Rock," (the bat-wings headdress, the flower, the whole nightmare of his "Slippermen" costume . . . all the stuff that contributed to his departure from the band) but Yes were more "organic." Just a bunch of guys with whimsical stage-design concepts who kept their terrible, futuristic-hippie fashion sense for far too long into the late '70s (watch the making of Going For The One BTS for a really good laugh), but in the words of even punk-rock-label SST's (and terrible person) Joe Carducci, could always "rock the house, even if that house was a Château."

I'll be the hundredth person to recommend "Roundabout," probably their best known song, also from 1971 like this one. And I'll add that, if you like Bach-ish organ sounds like this, you've got to listen to Boston's 1976 "Foreplay/Long Time." On that flute-ish sound, it's probably a flute, like you said, but it also sounds like a recorder, an even simpler woodwind instrument, or it could be a synthesizer set to a woodwind sound. I always thought Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" had a flute or recorder in it until I saw it performed live and they made the sound with a keyboard/synthesizer.

@stevestarr3160 2 жыл бұрын

I was wondering if a keyboard was involved but according to wikipedia it was dual recorders for this song... I wasn't sure until I looked it up en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ve_Seen_All_Good_People

@scottstevens7639 2 жыл бұрын

I strongly suspect that the flutes were played on a Mellotron, despite what Wikipedia says. That was the instrument that John Paul Jones plays during the intro to “Stairway to Heaven”. Incidentally, it was also used on the Beatles track “Strawberry Fields Forever” and many, many other famous tracks. The Mellotron was the earliest form of sampling. It employed audio tape strips played with a standard keyboard. The stock instrument came with typically 3 sets of tapes installed - orchestral strings, human voices and flutes. The choral voices were particularly popular, especially with prog rock bands. Generally speaking, if you hear a single flute, it’s probably an actual flute being played. If you hear multiple flutes, it’s probably a Mellotron or some similar keyboard.

@@benjaminrupe5930 the Mellotron wasn’t technically a synthesizer. More like an elaborate tape deck. And it was quite established during the time period this album was recorded. That’s why I had suspicions about it being keyboard flutes. I’m probably wrong, but I stick by my theory.

Jon Anderson (the group's singer and lyricist) wrote beautiful songs, but don't try to understand them literally. You'll only make yourself crazy. Jon's songs are poetic in their expression, and he rarely ever says what he means straight out. You have to listen _between_ the words, let his images flow through your mind, _look_ as much as you listen, in order to get where he's going - and even then it'll be your interpretation of his words rather than a literal meaning handed to you on a platter. It's one of the things I love most about Yes, their rejection of literal meaning in favor of imagery, metaphor, and poetry. :)

Drummer Bill Bruford was a founding member of the band Yes but left in the early 70s, to be replaced by Alan White, who died last week. Bill Bruford joined the only band whose music was even more complicated than that of Yes: King Crimson. In 1976, after Peter Gabriel left Genesis and drummer Phil Collins agreed to step up to the microphone, they needed a drummer who was Phil's equal, and Bruford took the stool for the first concert tour with Phil as lead singer of Genesis. In 1980, Bruford rejoined King Crimson in its most exciting and innovative version ever. He officially retired from drumming two or three years ago.

Yes were one of the founders of the prog rock genre... British band formed in 1967, they debuted in 1969 w/ a mix of rock, jazz & other sounds to create this mix of epic songs w/ extended jamming on instruments. The band was founded by Chris Squire (bass), Bill Bruford (drums) and Jon Anderson (vocals)... but it was the addition of Steve Howe (guitar) and Rick Wakeman (keyboards/ organ) that Yes blossomed musically in the early 70's... Bruford quit in 1972 and Alan White (drums) joined and kept the beat for decades. However, Yes would encounter instability in line-ups over years. The band was regarded as one of the most technically talented bands in rock history. After a string of successful 70's records, Yes split up around 1981, only to reform w/ guitarist Trevor Rabin (w/ founding keyboardist Tony Kaye returning) and released one of their biggest records '90125' in 1983... Yes carried on until the 90's until Rabin quit. Yes reunited w/ Howe & Wakeman in the 90's, but the instability would eventually have Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson quit Yes in the 2000's... Jon Davison (vocals) and Geoff Downes (keyboards) joined afterwards... Chris Squire (bass) passed away in 2015... Alan White (drums) passed away in 2022... Yes has kept recording & touring w/ Billy Sherwood (bass) and Jay Schellen (touring drummer). Besides Yes' big hit "Owner of a lonely heart' and the majestic 'Roundabout'... other tracks include: 'Siberian khatru'... 'Starship trooper' ... 'Close to the edge'.

On this, though, the drummer was Bill Bruford. Bruford was not in the band NEARLY as long as Alan White, obviously, but he was the drummer in the "classic lineup" up through Close to the Edge (and part of the live Yessongs), before leaving for King Crimson.

One really fun Yes song is "Leave It" from the 90125 album. It has a decent music video attached to it too. When I was a teenager back in the '80s, that was actually one of my favorite songs. But I'd also agree that the '70s classic "Roundabout'" is essential Yes listening at some point.

@Alewifes_Husband 2 жыл бұрын

This is a great intro song for Yes. From 1971's "The Yes Album," their third album release. Later in 1971 they released "Fragile" -- one of the best progressive rock albums ever recorded, even 50 years later. From that record, the next Yes song you guys hear should be "Roundabout." I see from a search that you've reacted to "Owner of a Lonely Heart" which is from the 80's and a totally different lineup in the band and quite a different feel, given that times changed a lot from 1971 to 1983 or so when 90125 album was released. But back to the point -- Roundabout is the most logical next Yes reaction, but there are several other great choices from Yes's heydays in the early 1970's, up to about 1978. The record after Fragile, 1972's Close to the Edge, is considered even better than Fragile. But Fragile is a little more "accessible" for those not quite used to the complexity of Yes's music.

@minkhollow 2 жыл бұрын

Adding to the chorus: "Roundabout" is absolutely essential (and alongside this one, my favorite Yes). It has also turned out that either "And You and I" or "Yours Is No Disgrace" has been living rent-free in my head for decades and I just forgot where the riff came from. XD "Starship Trooper" is also fantastic.

@timwhitnell7145 2 жыл бұрын

Listen to the song again guys and when you hear that organ in the background listen even closer and behind the organ you will hear a muffled chorus singing "All We are Saying is Give Peace a Chance," a direct reference to the then recent song Give Peace A Chance solo hit by John Lennon. Starship Trooper, Long Distance Runaround and Close to the Edge are other classic Yes songs but, for me, their best song and probably in the top 10 of all songs ever, is Roundabout. The musicianship, particularly Rick Wakeman's keyboards and Chris Squire's bass playing, are phenomenal on the legendary song.

No matter how many times I hear this song, I will always love the outro as they modulate into different keys. By the way, a number of YES songs are in "movements," which is why there are sometimes changes in style and tempo. This song, for example, is in two movements. The first part (the slower part) is called "Your Move." The second more rollicking part is called "All Good People."

They started in 1969 and are still (with a different line up) making music. Since you like the 80s you probably will like some of their songs from that era. Owner of a Lonely Heart (don't do the music video as the song gets interrupted), Leave It, Changes, City of Love. But the songs from the 70s are so iconic. Some have been mentioned already but I'll put my votes in. 1] Heart of the Sunrise 2] Roundabout 3] And You & I 4] Siberian Khatru 5] Starship Trooper 6] Yours is No Disgrace And if you are really feeling adventurous, these songs are really out there, primarily because they are much longer than normal. 7] The Revealing Science of God (22 minutes) 8] Ritual (the live version from Yesshows) (28 minutes) 9] The Gates of Delirium (22 minutes) 10] Close to the Edge (18 minutes)

I've seen Yes twice - the first time was in Columbus, Ohio for their 90125 tour. That one was the tour opener, and they had no opening act. Echo and the Bunnymen were supposed to open, but they never showed. The second time was in 1995-ish for their Talk tour. Kansas opened for them then. Aside from Rush, Yes are the only band I've seen live more than once. The singer, Jon Anderson, was a huge admirer of John Lennon, and so this song contains references to two Lennon songs: Instant Karma and Give Peace a Chance. You've gotten the rundown of the band members for this album, but over the years, many have come and gone. Until he died a couple years ago, Chris Squire was the only band member to be in all iterations. Other people who have been with the group are: Alan White ((R.I.P) drums), Patrick Moraz (keyboards), Trevor Rabin (guitar), Trevor Horn (vocals), Tony Kaye (keyboards), Geoff Downes (keyboards), Jon Davison (current singer), Geddy Lee (yes, Geddy lee from Rush - bass - filled in for Chris as he had died before the Rock Hall induction of Yes). I know I'm forgetting at least four or five others. As for my song suggestions, I'll start with the two that go back and forth in my top spot for favorite yessongs. Starship Trooper, which has already been mentioned several times, and Siberian Khatru, which as far as I can tell, hasn't been mentioned by anyone else. If you ever listen to the latter, don't try to get any real meaning out of the lyrics. Siberian Khatru is a perfect example of using the vocals as just another instrument, using words that fit the sound, rather than to have any real meaning.

I still play their (early) music today: Yes, Fragile, Close To The Edge, Time And A Word, Yessongs, Relayer, etc, and my favourite, Tales From Topographical Oceans. I am so glad that not only have you discovered Yes, but that you like them too. P.S. Your reactions to many songs are great. Baker Street and Lola especially. Baker Street with the saxophone and the penny-drop moment from listening to Lola were priceless! “Oh baby, did you not hear that last line?” with that magnificent mischievous grin, just gets me every time!
