The song " Yours is no Disgrace", is another 9 minute gem from Yes that you should check out!

You owe it to yourself to hear the album version, where Jon Andersons vocals are crystal clear. This version's audio is poorly mixed and the tempo is a bit rushed. You should listen to some of their studio stuff...anything off The Yes Album, Fragile, or Close To The Edge albums....Every song on all 3 albums is Yes at their peak and each is a classic and so amazing... their studio production is just next level!

RIP Chris Squire

Steve Howe on guitar, Rick Wakeman on keys, Chris Squire with his monster Rickenbacher bass, Bill Bruford on drums, and the great Jon Anderson on vocals

AWAKEN from the Going For The One album.

Hi dear. This version is from the movie Yessongs filmed in 1972. The audio is muddy and the video is 1972 film technology. There are 7 other versions of that song by Yes. All of them are better quality than Yessongs. My favorite version is from Symphonic Yes, which was made for DVD and most of the songs are performed with an orchestra. The orchestra has a lot of fun with Roundabout, as it was the encore. An amazing performance, the whole show.

Seen Yes about 45 times on 5 continents, so ...I approve.

And the still living members are still awesome to this day despite being in their 70s. RIP Chris Squire and Alan White.

Everyday is YES-terday so long as you listened to Yes the day before. Which you should...

This was at their height. I like this one more than their studio version. So energetic!

Yes I love yes

this was written in the back of a van on tour in Scotland, about the road ahead of them & looking forward to seeing their girlfriends.

Steve Wilson remix of the original studio version is awesome

AND SHE"S ALIVE!

If you enjoyed roundabout, a simpler but moving song by Yes is "Wonderous Stories"

The virtuoso keyboard player, Rick Wakeman, used to play the organ during the morning assembly at my school in West London in the 60s. He was a fellow pupil but a few years older. Magical times

Jon Anderson - vocals (also in concert - piccolo, percussion, acoustic guitar, additional keyboards) Steve Howe - Guitars Rick Wakeman - Keyboards (for one album, Relayer, the keyboardist was Patrick Moraz) Chris Squire - Bass Alan White - Drums Here are a few selections of songs: (The list is alphabetical so listen to them in whatever order you want) Awaken The Gates of Delirium (a song about the novel War and Peace) Heart of the Sunrise I've Seen All Good People The Revealing Science of God [Dance of the Dawn] Ritual (live from QPR 1975) Siberian Khatru Sound Chaser To Be Over Turn of the Century Wonderous Stories

Welcome to the magic of Yes music.

Yes: Jon Anderson vocals, Chris Squire Bass and Backing vocals, Rick Wakeman keys, Alan White drums. Simply the finest musicians who collectively made brilliant music. BUT its something that you really need to get used to before tackling their heavier songs (Close to the Edge, Gatesof Delirium, Tales of the Topographic Oceans, Awaken). Live I'd go with South Side of the Sky off the Yessongs show but also listen to some of their studio stuff like Yours is no Disgrace. I first listened to them when I was 14. I'm now 60 and can honestly say they have shaped my life in so many ways. I'm seen them live more times than I can remember. To me they are simply the masters. Favorite song - for me the one you first reacted to, Starship Trooper and there are a number of brilliant versions of this live... They are one the few bands where the bass player is the main man and Chris Squire was the best! Enjoy the journey with Yes because it'll take you on an epic ride!

Amazing energy

I remember when this was fresh back in highschool in the late 70's.

Absolutely an incredible group as I grew up.

YES live is great. This is the classic line-up.

Heart of the sunrise!! I must hear.....

NOOOOOoooooo! Not the live version! OK fine, now that your curiosity's been satisfied as to how they look, do your ears a big favor & now go listen to the studio version of Roundabout, which is Waaaaay better than the live recording. Not only is the sound quality poor, you can't really appreciate the vocal harmonies that are so fantastic on the studio recording. Also the studio effects on the studio recording aren't duplicated on the live vid. Also, as good a drummer as Alan White was, the studio version features Bill Bruford on drums & his contribution is special on the studio version. While I'd love to hear you listen to the studio version next & hear you react to the differences between the two, that would be awesome, but if you'd rather not indulge that request, then do go listen to the studio version on your own. You'll be shaking your head at the difference...

The lyrics are so obscure, i have listened to them for 50 years and still don't know what they are singing about.

Close to the Edge, Gates of Delirium, and Awaken are among their top essential classics. Love this journey! Welcome back!

Imagine seeing them live, on mushrooms, twice!

Live, each one has his on "character" and contributes to the whole piece...😊

Yessongs album (1973) is a great investment. I bought the album back in the mid-seventies, it grew on me, and it never gets old listening to it to this very day. Thanks for your reaction to this great music. 🖖😎

Coming of age in the 70's we were blessed with so many great bands. Yes was my absolute favorite. You said it... Talent!! I've enjoyed seeing Yes live more times than I can count and decades after becoming a fan I was lucky enough to meet the entire band and have some great conversations with them. They were as charming and interesting as people as they were as artists.

This early classic lineup has many long, epic journeys: Heart of the Sunrise 11:23, Siberian Khatru 8:55, I've Seen All Good People 6:58, Yours Is No Disgrace 9:40, Perpetual Change 8:49, and the epic classic Close To The Edge 18:42. All are bangers, and all are progressive rock operas with lots of tempo changes and great transitions. BUT, listen to the studio versions of all of them to avoid the muddy recordings of the 70's. The studio version of Roundabout is much cleaner and clearer, although this was very good.

So glad our Rogue is back in our lives.

My youngest uncle and I shared a room with Rush and Yes as well as many other great bands of the '70s and early '80s constantly being played on the record player. I passed this great music on down to my son. When I hear any of this music it brings me back to a childhood full of great music and great times.

caffeinated live version!!!

Hey again glad you like it . Steve Howe on lead guitar is criminally underated as a guitarist he is awesome .

a roundabout makes cars go around, at an intersection....Popular in Europe

Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Rick wakeman! Sheeeesh, what a band.

No coffee right now as it's 10:15 in the evening. I'll have my first cup of the day in about 6 hours or so. Yes I'm hearing it, heard it for the first time some 50 odd years ago. Yes was in my record collection along with a couple other prog rock groups back then Pink Floyd, Renaissance, Jethro Tull and Emerson, Lake and Palmer

🤩🤩🤩 The best time for YES is always.

That bass is insane!

Such a classic song! You should revisit another progressive rock band, The Moody Blues. "Tuesday Afternoon" is another song of theirs that is full of magic and majesty. Right up your alley! The Vinyl Restoration Project (KZfaq channel) features a wonderful stereo LP single version from 1968. Kick back, relax and let the music take you on a journey of a lifetime! 💯❤️💜🎵🌟👍🌎🌍✌️

I subscribed simply BECAUSE of your reaction to Yes and Roundabout!! Simply one of the absolute best in the game!! 🤘🎸

would recommend you start with the Yes album and you will see where they started and just go from album to album and you will see the progression. Some of the songs will put tears in your eyes but all great

Jon Anderson is one of the top recorded vocalists of all time in popular nusic. He's right up there with Joni Mitchell, Roy Orbison, Gordon Lightfoot, Geddy Lee.

RIP Chris Squire, and Alan White

So glad to see you back with the music reactions. You always have a different take on music❤🎵

It's beautiful to see you enjoying these raw organic high energy live performances! It's contagious...thank you Rogue ☺️‼️

Tied w/So Many Other@#1 Live Bands EVAH!!!!

For a real treat, listen to the studio version of this song, and play close attention to the bass. Chris Squire was as good a bassist as there was in rock history. You'll also hear the vocals much more clearly. For your next Yes song I'd recommend either "Yours is No Disgrace" or "Heart of the Sunrise".

The greatest band that has graced this planet with the incredible voice of Jon Anderson.

I guess you can blame me for starting your Yes journey 2 years ago with Starship Trooper. Hope it continues as there is SO MUCH more to explore!!

Two albums you have to listen to are Yes Close to the edge and Fragil! It's just magic! I been a fan since I was a child and seen them many times!!!

The real trips are the old LP side long tracks. Close The The Edge and The Gates Of Delirium are stunning epics.

They also have an awesome Christmas song...."I Believe in Father Christmas"

and I forgot to mention also the Bassist, Chris Squire, passed RIP but Getty Lee from Rush played Bass🤟

Saw them at Madison Square Garden al lonnng time ago.

You should react to the video from 2017 where Yes was inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame where they do Roundabout and others but because I was a Keyboardist in 1972 when this song was a Banger👍and Rick Wakeman was my hero 😎

Welcome, once again, to 70s Prog Rock! Do the studio, too. You saw that H A M M O N D organ? The soul of the 70s! Do some Rock Wakeman solo albums, if you haven't already.

Thank you for reaction! Try a few studio versions in a row. Then come back to live. Production value is quite good. You will enjoy headphones, then fall in love with Jon's lyrics you can't hear. ❤

We are flying high 😘

YES!!! 🍄🌲💥✨🌈🍄🌲

Great reaction, do yourself a favor and listen to the studio version, even off camera , it's a trip !

imagine growing up with so much . my friends and I spent 5 hours a day just listening to music. I had to cut off some bands because no time. She should have heard studio version first then this and she could appreciate the intricate changes.

You may want to check out the studio version of this song on the Yes 'Fragile' album. The lyrics are clearly understood.

The guitarists influence are Chet Atkins, Merl Travis, Les Paul and Wes Montgomery Mixed togeather played fast with much gusto.

"Starship Trooper" live at Lugano 2004 has very good sound quality for a live show... And you'll love the song...

I'm so happy for you! You've discovered Yes! Your life is better now. Yes, yes it is. Many great recs below (studio versions plz!) - Yours Is No Disgrace, Starship Trooper, I've Seen All Good People, South Side of the Sky, Heart of the Sunrise, the Fish... enjoy!

T_A_L_E_N_T_ You got it! Thanks for the reaction to YES!!

Best Progressive Band ever. Talent. Talent. Talent. They wrote most of their hits when they were in their early 20's. Talent.

Los grupos de los 70 como Zeppelin Floy Yes Jethro Black Grand etc etc. Son los más grandes de la historia

I'm so glad your back my life has been lacking ❤

I've seen them live, but first heard them in the mid-70's. I even did a school art project inspired by one of their album cover. Individually talented, collectively distinctive.

I know you love some guitar, but the keyboard’s are amazing. Saw them in 79’ during their Yes in the round tour. Rotating stage and 2 keyboards played simultaneously by one man. Amazing!

YES does not ALWAYS start out calm, but they ALWAYS start&finish great Rxyce! As others write, THIS live version was VERY VERY good, which considering the complexity of the studio recording sez a lot about their overwhelming talent imo.

Where have you been? My very favorite reactionary, so glad to see you back.

Great energetic live performance in a boomy room. You should also hear the album version with its cleaner soundstage and mix. There is a deep well of great music from this band. More than a few tunes.

I'm a 70 year old bass player and I used to listen to only the bass most of the time. Now that I've grown older I've learn to appreciate the whole song. Little late but I've settled in my ways. Thanks Jim

timgrady4630 0 seconds ago Get "used to" Masterpieces with this ensemble . I was blessed to see them twice in the early-mid '70's at the height of their creative period . This version is representative of their ability to take the studio version to a next level . Thanks for delving into their Alll Timer inventory .

You and you'res have a great weekend darlin you deserve it for all the fantastic music you bring us ❤👍

So happy to have you back! I enjoy your reactions. You are definitely a lover of good music, and I enjoy watching your joy in discovering it!

Best version of this song!!

Ladies and gentlemen Chris Squire and Yes the greatest show on earth. Jon Anderson vocal, Steve Howe guitar and Chris Squire bass are all self-taught. 🙏🍁 South Side Of The Sky next ⚘️ Only been dancing to Roundabout for 52yrs

This song is MUCH better! Thank you!

YES my old heroes since early 70...This band is the soundtrack of my life....Thank you!!❤❤❤

Yes was the first major group I saw i concert in 1973 they did the Relayer tour. I have seen Yes a total of 23 times. All time favorite group. Every concert was amazing.

You have to listen to their STUDIO versions to really appreciate their music. It's so much more clear and more dynamic. Next up should be To Be Over

It is great to see you back. When I first got going on KZfaq you were one the first reactors I listened to and got me on the road to where I now follow............well, I lost count of how many reactors I subscribe to now. You picked some great music from Yes, who were true masters of their genre. I look forward to more of your reviews.

Welcome Back!!!!! Love your reactions!! So honest. You’re here for the music and the ride is wonderful!!!

Loved the band since the early 70's and seen them live 3 times and they were always fantastic! ❤❤

I distinctly remember seeing Jon Anderson wearing that white shirt and Rick Wakeman in his blinged out cape at a show. Great memories of one of my favorite group of musicians.

Heart of the Sunrise Yours is No Disgrace Close to the Edge I'll wait lol

Amazing energy and vibe in their concerts and it’s great to see the band perform. Sadly audio quality is lacking but it’s still amazing. For studio stuff try the Steven Wilson remixes they sound pristine clear with all the dynamics intact. Fun reaction thanks

You won't see many bands trying to cover Yes songs.

It is fun to see them rocking out on this song, but the album is just magical - especially the intro. So back in the day on Christmas Eve, I was waiting for a bus to take me to my girlfriend's house. Holiday schedule - waited more than an hour for the bus on the icy sidewalk. No cell phones to tell her I was running late. Thoroughly disheartening ... until. That's right. This song came lofting out an attic window. It was a beautiful respite. And then the song ended. In those days, if you didn't stop your record player, it would replay. And that's just what it did. Over and over again. It made the wait perfectly worth while. I was also fortunate enough to see this line up playing in-the-round at Madison Square Garden, and it was one of the great concert moments of my life.

One of... if only band....that could ever exceed live what the studio could produce.

If you like some psuedo church music, Rick wakeman's solo career between Yes gigs, Try Six wives of Henry the 8th....Jayne Seymour

Hey rogue there's not a better bassist out there that I've heard maybe there's a lot that are closed then Chris squire. If you get a chance listen to heart of the sunrise by yes the bass playing is sick especially in the beginning 🎸🎸 keep looking beautiful!!❤️❤️❤️

I was never into Prog Rock, but as I'm aging, I find I'm starting to appreciate it's complexities.

I saw them live 3 times back in the '70's. An amazing band!
