@Jürg Hölzle I absolutely agree. ELP is so close behind. I place Yes just a tad higher because their music like Awaken and Turn Of The Century makes me cry on command because of how intricate and delicate the parts are. The emotion it brings. Yes sought out to reach God. ELP sought out to create the most victorious compositions man make could create. They did just that. Both bands reached the highest pinnacle of musical/compositional creation. We will never see anything like them again.

Yes no doubt. Even Bill Bruford said on the Union tour playing this masterpiece, he said Yes no doubt hit their highest pinnacle of musical expression with this piece of music. He was sad to miss the creation of it but was overjoyed to at least be part of it to play it live. The laugh in rehearsal was, "so this is what you guys were up too while I was gone"

Yeah. Me too. In fact I do not listen to it often. it is far too special for just cheap, daily entertainment. It is the Holy Ground of YES. I am a fully committed Christian. I have been in the presence of God more times than I can remember. But I find that today, the popular Christian music is usually not particularly engaging. The music of YES simply expresses how I feel about Jesus, even if that is not THEIR intent. It is the music it is deep and energetic and just downright inspiring.

In 1992 I went to my very first concert - the Yes Re-Union tour. All 8 member of Yes were on stage. They played Awaken - and it was an awesome, spiritual experience. The middle section, where the organ moves into Steve's guitar was and is fantastic. My best friend Jim took me to the concert. The next year Jim was killed in an automobile accident. The last lines of Awaken, "like the time I ran away, turned around and you were standing close to me." That is my buddy Jim "standing close to me". Thanks for a great reaction Bro's. Ken

This song is an absolute masterpiece, there is no other word to describe it. Of course you could say it is euphoric, joyful, transcendental, mesmeric, even a religious experience, out of body experience but it all adds up to being a complete masterpiece. I have lost count of the times I have listened to this piece of music and yet I still have tears in my eyes after it finished. Also thank you for not pausing the song to give comments, respect the music, listen to the piece and then react, much respect to you both for that

44 years, and it still hasn't lost its POWER. I just saw a KZfaq video of the church in Vevey Switzerland (St. Martin's Cathedral) where the organ is a treasure. It was really interesting seeing them perform this in concert. I was lucky enough to see it about four or five times. When the bass pedals combined with the organ chords oh, the sound beats against your chest like a rocket lifting off. It was a physical sensation as much as it was a sound. I can think of no more magnificent piece of music recorded in my lifetime

I was 12 and listening to "bubble gum pop" way back in the early '70's, when my brother introduced me to Yes, ELP, Deep Purple, Manfred Mann and others that changed my whole life. I had never even heard of a a "synthesizer" and immediately fell deeply in love with Wakeman and Emerson, and Jon Lord murdering his keyboards amazed me. I was hooked. Then....someone introduced me to German singers Nina Hagen and Klaus Nomi along with Lene Lovich, my whole world turned upside down. I don't speak German but can sing along in German with Nina. So, on the one hand I've got Jon Anderson singing falsetto and Nina Hagen growling in German. The best of both worlds. They're all still in the rotation on the MP 3 player to this day.

First of all ,I love your reaction to this masterpiece. There is and probably never will be a group of this magnificent instrumentalists and composers and vocalist in the history of music. They have left a legacy on the music industry for what they have created. I was totally blown away at the age of 17 in 1978 when I saw them live in Ft. Worth. I was literally not expecting to have my mind blown out to where I couldn’t comprehend what I had just seen and heard. My all time favorite song ever.

I am just going to say this…..You have a fan for Life because you get YES. YES like other progressive groups or even Rock groups….like The Who….The Beatles…..Led Zeppelin……Steely Dan…….Supertramp…..The Moody Blues…..Deep Purple…….Rush…Pink Floyd……is a High Tier Music group……..who require a High IQ in music to appreciate and really get their music contributions. These guys are the gods of Rock n' Roll…….they specialize in perfecting their sounds and creating music that is not average type of music. People that are really into Jazz or Classical or Opera music have high IQ's in music because it requires one to really listen how an instrument is being played to create certain sounds or how a vocalist is singing a melody to cause an emotional effect. Like Jazz or Classical music one must hear the tones of the way music is being delivered to the ear to understand the meaning or see the story that is being expressed. This is the description of a Hight IQ in music which can understand and appreciate Top Tier Music because it is "Art." You appreciate and get the Art of YES!!!! And you have a fan for Life!!!!

It seems like YES were on a mission to bring spiritual joy and exuberance into Rock music, a genre that was supposed to be all about chicks, drugs and cool hair!! Rick Wakeman said when he first heard them before he joined, they were doing ALL of the things Rock bands were NOT supposed to do, Lol!! the lead vocals were this sweet soprano tone with angelic harmonies, the guitars and bass sounds were all clean and clear with no bottom end distortion or noisy effects, the bassist was playing lead melodies way up on the fretboard, he said it was absolutely bizarre for an early 70s band to 'Not Belong' like that, Haha!! So glad Rick joined the YES nerd wagon!!

Going for the One was my introduction to Yes. I can still remember being blown away my the final track, and Awaken remains one of my all time favourites, 40 years later. The "workings of man" section, the chord sequence is E, A, D, G, C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, B and back to E. That's ALL of the chords ! ( it's going backwards through the circle of fifths.)

There is definitely a pragmatic side to the Yes equation. They were young ambitious men with dreams of success, no doubt. The rest of the story is pretty much innate talent and what form would best express their particular talents. Jon Anderson once said that he had tried to be a pop star, but he couldn't do it. Check out "City of Angels" for a more pop style Anderson. Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman have stated that they thought Yes would be the perfect vehicle for their style. Chris Squire has said that he doesn't have the comfort of being a solo artist, but works best in a band setting. Check out "Yes Stories" for Yes in their own words.

Great reaction my friends - from Songfacts " Keyboard player Rick Wakeman rejoined Yes for the Going For The One album and is a key contributor on this track. He played the church organ that comes in near the end of the song - and he actually played it in a church. The cathedral was about 10 miles away from the studio, so his part was recorded over a telephone line. This would be ghetto production in America or England, where church sounds were typically recorded in the church (see: "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel), but Yes recorded the album at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland, where the phone lines had spectacular clarity. Instead of using a mobile recording unit, they simply rented a phone line for the day and recorded it"

As teens, me and my bud Alan in Queens, NY, 1977 would often get toasted and listen to this album!!! We also saw them at Madison Square Garden for the GFTO tour. After the show, about half of the audience couldn't get out of their seats, including us, for around 20 minutes. That's how blown away we were. At age 64, it's so cool to see young dudes get into this stuff. Like Bach, Stravinsky, Art Tatum, etc. great music will never die.

George and Patrick, it's been 4 months. You really need to experience Awaken live. There are versions of Yes performing it on KZfaq, but for me, none of the recorded Yes performances uploaded match the studio version. The Symphonic Live version gets mentioned a lot as a great performance of it, but it has an orchestra instead of Wakeman on keyboards. Instead, I'm recommending a version by a cover band, Iceland's Todmobile. In 2013, when he was 69 years old, the Yes lead singer you heard here, Jon Anderson, did a full concert as a guest with Todmobile. Awaken is one of the pieces they performed. No other members of Yes appear on this, but trust me. What Todmobile does to make up for that is worthy. For me, there is no better live version of this anywhere else on KZfaq, including versions by Yes. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ed2jo9Kqt8rJhmQ.html

It is a piece that took me to the outer reaches of the universe as well as the depth of my soul. It introduced me to the possibilities of music. It is, in my opinion, one of the most important pieces in prog/classical music, and one of my favorites. It's 44 years later, and it has the same impact on me as it did back when I played this on my record player.

Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth. Saw Chris Squire and Yes 36 times. Awaken one of seven great symphonic masterpieces that will be listened to for centuries.

Inmenso tema de YES. Lo tiene todo. Soy fanático de YES desde mi adolescencia y hoy a mis 59 años le sigo encontrando cosas a esta canción que me hacen valorar aún más la musicalidad de la banda. Y sus reacciones ayudan mucho a ello. Gracias, infinitas gracias por reaccionar a esta y a otras glorias de los 70!, Quizás junto con los 60 las 2 décadas en que la música fue más libre y creativa, sin estar atada al marketing que imperó en décadas siguientes.

@@lesblatnyak5947" superb song from Yes. It has it all. I'm fan of Yes since my teen years and now that I'm 59 years old, I still find new things from this song that makes me value even more the musicianship of this band. Also your reactions helps a lot with that. Thank you so much for the reaction to this and other bands from the glorious 70s. Maybe with the 60s, they are the two decades in which music was more free and creative without being tied to marketing, the one that reign in the following decades" That's what he says in his comment. I'm not that good transcribing but I do my best. Greetings from Chile

Sometimes yes transcended musical perfection. This was one of a number of occasions they actually achieved this. I was fortunate enough to see them perform this live on a number of occasions, including inside a V bomber Hanger at RAF Stafford. UK in 1977 during the 'going for the one' tour. Its still spine tingling to this day. So nice to see new people discovering the genius of this in the 21st century.

Welcome to the ethereal world of YES. I'm 56 and saw them live in Philly in 79 at 13yo and it was literally a life changing experience. Going For The One is a masterpiece. Listen to Turn of the Century from the same album. It's one of the most beautiful compositions ever recorded.

My second time of seeing Yes, 1977, Going for the One Tour in Louisville, KY. Awaken is my personal all-time favorite Yessong. Peter Banks, the original guitar player, came up with the name Yes. Rick Wakeman, the keyboard player, is playing a church organ at a church in Vevey, and the other members of the band were in the studio when they recorded Awaken. Very humbling song. Thank you for sharing.

Progressive Rock started in 1969 with the band King Crimson and the album The Court of the Crimson King. This genre continued throughout the 70’s other bands include Yes, Genesis (with Peter Gabriel), Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Rush, Gentle Giant, Renaissance just to name a few. You REALLY NEED to Listen to EARLY Genesis - the album’s Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. Also King Crimson albums the Court of the Crimson King, Larks Tongue in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black and Red. These will give you a good start into this genre. Welcome to the mind trip that is Prog Rock

The organ was recorded with mobile from a church in Veyvey, Switzerland. Keyboardist Rick Wakeman has stated that it’s his favorite track. The arrangements are “head arrangements”- unwritten, derived from multiple iterations, and through composed. By the time they put down the basic track, every musician knew pretty much what they would play. The name of the band is said to have come from a first meeting between singer Anderson and bassist Squire at a bar above London’s Marquee Club. One asked the other if he was a fan of Simon and Garfunkel, the other replied, “Yes.”

George & Patrick, what is wonderful reaction to Awaken. I have been a YES fan since I heard Yours is no Disgrace after school at a friends house, I have seen them Live more times than I can remember. After hearing YES I really have had a difficult time appreciating any other Band. The album the Ladder has a great songs The Ladder HomeWorld, Magnification is also wonderful. I had the pleasure and luck to meet and get to know Chris Squire through some friends of mine, I was invited to his Flat on Kings Road London for dinner, he played music that he was working on with Steve Hackett. Many back stage moments, he was a humble sweet man. My heart was broken when we lost him in 2015. I deeply believe that people like you guys will discover YES music for many years to come. They are touring this Summer, Playing CTTE....it’s a very different lineup, but go buy great seats and get a Taste of YES. Peace be with you.

Good stuff Guys. “Awaken” is certainly a spiritual journey of sorts. The unique thing about Yes was, they were able to “recreate “ everything that you are listening to, live on stage. An album like “going for the one” was produced in the late 70s. And it’s the quality of music that we should expect in the modern era. But it never happened. Sadly. But at least we were blessed to have masterpieces like yes, rush, Floyd, zeppelin,genesis,ELP,etc....

If you listen to Yes, there is no need for drugs, alcohol or other alt substances. The music is so hypnotic, it puts you in another dimension and makes you forget your issues. This is your Rx: Find your quiet space and close the door. Shut your eyes, listen and concentrate to the words, each sound, tone and note. Don't fight it and Let carry you away to perfect bliss.

In 1979 I took this album to an audio store to shop for speakers. The staff and other customers ALL came over to find out what was on the turntable. I think it was Wonderous Stories. This song has made my spine tingle and eyes run for 42 years.

Welcome to my High School years. I have seen Yes live seven times, each time better than the last. Great commentary! Your spiritual connection with the music is sublime.:) Rick Wakeman played a genuine Church pipe Organ, recorded at a church in Vevey Switzerland. My interpretation: The guitar represents the power of divine creativity, the vocals represent the soul's journey in this life, and the organ represents humans reaching upward toward full realization in the divine. at the end, all are in balance; "Master of Time..." guitar, vocals and organ come together to create harmony, balance, and joy :)

What I appreciate about reaction videos is that it helps introduce music that would otherwise not be heard. I remember as a kid "turning on" my buddies to Yes music. It was a challenge then, as well. But a few spins and a little help from my friends, we learned to love it.
