@@ricohsoavee4023 it was awesome and I loved Patrick Moraz on keyboards. I had free tickets to see them in Houston in a small outdoor venue (similar to Blossom) about 10-12 years ago , but we had a tropical storm blow through and I couldn’t make it
For all of it's raucous, jazzy elements, this is still one of my favorite Yes albums. It is, at once, one of their most passionate and sublime endeavors.
Saw Yes in 75 Greensboro NC with my good high school friend Scott, amazing concert, the whole stage lit up in some kind of Firefly, everybody stoodup, mind blowing concert..could have been the mind-altering self-medication we took.
Several comments about this being "fake" (not the original live audio}, and thus a bad idea. Let me tell you, I was at this concert at QPR football stadium and the live sound was atrocious, Steve Howe's guitar was inaudible for large parts of the song, and the buzzing during quiter parts wrecked them as well - so frankly, the live audio isn't worth listening to. But if you want to, you can, that's on UA-cam too. So for me, this is awesome, watching the live performance of the song with the audio quality it deserves. After 27 years I can finally see and hear the performance as it always should have been! Kudos to the author!!!
My first Yes concert was 1976 in Atlanta. The best stage design I've ever seen to this day. The one with the extended moving spotlight pods above the stage. This is the 1975 set which looks pretty cool too but unfortunately it's filmed during the day time. You can see towards the end it's starting to get dark and some or the pods start lighting up. Just like a real live Roger Dean painting. I also saw them play this on the Massterworks tour in 2000.
@@frankmarsh1159 I have a mate who saw them in the USA in 1976. Crab Nebula Tour. Moving heads and lasers. The lot. Maybe at San Antonio TX. Criminal that it wasn't filmed. Got to be the most impressive Yes set.
At long last, this amazing piece of live music gets remastered by the master....! Great work Steve Wilson! I saw the video 20 years ago as a DVD bootleg from Japan. The sound was excruciatingly awful. So glad its been restored to its original intensity. Saw the Relayer tour in Toronto, July 19, 1975 @ Maple Leaf Gardens. Unforgettable!
Ok but there's already two versions out there with improved *live* audio. One worked with the original audio, the other dubbed in a radio broadcast performance from the same tour.
@@MrFy2013 The live audio was a really bad mix. Most likely someone tapped into the mixing board as it went down and recorded to either stereo or mono. Either way it can't be fixed because there are no individual instrument tracks. You can clean up the audio and remaster it but the mix will always be awful.
Absolutely love Yes, Floyd and Rush. Have all their albums and seen them on many occasions. Some of you may not agree with me but in my humble opinion Yes as a collective seem to be more musically gifted than Genesis but Genesis just seemed to create music that touched the soul at a deeper level. Just personal my opinion that’s all.
I've also seen this synched to audio from a show on the North American tour (Boston? Detroit?), which worked nicely. I still slightly prefer the real QPR audio on this one (it's "Sound Chaser" that is pretty much un-listenable for me), but there's no harm in anyone attempting this. Good job!
You see how easily the video maker was able to sync the live performance to the studio version? Steve Howe always impressed me with how much he tried to faithfully replicate the studio albums when playing live. So did Jon Anderson. They could never have done this with Bill Bruford who seemed to want never to play the same thing twice, or Rick Wakeman, who seemed to forget what he played on the albums when playing live.
This, along with Nightwish's "The Greatest Show On Earth", are the two greatest compositions of my lifetime. How utterly amazing to have Steven Wilson enhance the sound to bring out the brilliance of this live performance. This masterpiece musically retells the War and Peace saga for this generation, as Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky told his generation with the "1812 Overture". The absolute genius of the musical representation of the two different sides clashing together, after first surging individually, then falling back, can only be experienced and not explained. Where I believe that one should receive college credit for evolutionary science for understanding "The Greatest Show On Earth," I also believe college credit in Global History is deserved for understanding this most astonishing work. Thank you, Steven, for this brilliant restoration to greatness of a most spectacular masterpiece. And thanks for the work to sync this up with the video so we can visually enjoy their performance as we listen.
Per carità ottima sincronizzazione da parte di STEVEN WILSON dei Porcupine Tree ma io avrei preferito ascoltare il filmato con la VERA versione live di questo meraviglioso brano o SUITE chiamatelo un po' come vi pare !!!!!
The original live audio version is on UA-cam if you want to watch it but the mix is awful...Bands have been filmed playing along with their recordings since the beginning of motion pictures. This of course is the opposite situation. Yes was not a jam band. They played all their songs very close to the recorded versions. Therefore the video syncs up really well.
The key, I think is Steve's playing. He played the studio part verbatim as far as I could tell. It's a lot of notes to memorize even if he composed them. I also changed the speed of the video slightly in places to make the tempos match.
@@ronmurvihill5317 You did a great job !!! I like how you blended in the chatter at the beginning and the applause at the end. I also like that you used the remixed version. It has a clarity to it that gives it an almost live feel. The syncing is very, very good too. I'm sure lot's of people will think the audio is live. I haven't seen anything on UA-cam quite like this...
@@StephenGrew yeah love Larks/Red/Starless KC albums. I last saw Bruford live with his Earthworks in the early 2000's. Almost saw him again before the retirement.
To think that this was filmed almost 50 years ago, and it is _still_ the most moving piece of music in rock history... It's mind boggling.
I saw this live in 75 or 76 in Cleveland Ohio. First time hearing this song blew me away. I’ve never heard a vocalist be so perfect live.
I seen then in 76 to with this tour
August 21, 1976 at the Richfield Coliseum. I was there. Relayer is my favorite Yes album.

Great synchronization of the GREATEST Prog MASTERPIECE. Nothing comes close, not even when you stand Close to the Edge. :)
For all of it's raucous, jazzy elements, this is still one of my favorite Yes albums. It is, at once, one of their most passionate and sublime endeavors.
It is a refreshing short term departure
I love this album. For me it followed on nicely from Close to the Edge.
Second only to Close to the edge for me. Maybe 3 the round about album kick butt. To me the early Yes outstanding
The talents of P Moraz.. bringing out the jazz very excellent Album.
His Imp album is another masterpiece
This is fantastic.

It was the 1976 tour that had moving mantis light pods above the stage. Greatest stage design ever...
Wow I could actually watch and enjoy this now! Thank you!!
Love it! This is a masterpiece! Everybody in the band are amazing.
Sensacional. Sensacional! Steve imbatível. Só DEUS viu. Só DEUS.

Trippen ! the sense of reality any one younger than 1980 could grasp ?
I am impressed about Anderson's voice.
Saw Yes three times in 75-76. Three times we heard this magnificent piece of music. Nice job Ron.
I saw them 4 times starting in 77. Never saw this song darn it.

The video is live but the audio is the studio version.
This is simply the studio album remix (which is inferior to Eddy Offord's original mix) dubbed onto the QPR video. Why?
@@MrFy2013 Because the original QPR audio was nasty.

One their best excellently remixed. Thanks again
AMAZING GRACE OF GOD or whatever you like it, this is HEAVEN on earth. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
Tremendous resynchronization job...thanks Mister Wilson !
My title was unclear. The video footage is from 1975. The audio is the original recording remixed by Mr. Wilson. My apologies.

Steve's playing was a real boon for me. So precise.
Relayer and The Yes Album are my 2 favourite Yes records - and neither of them feature Wakeman.
Awesome, truly awesome, thank you!
Wow!! Thanks so much for this.
This sounds like the studio version not a remastered live recording
thankyou.
Yes. They jammed.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!! Jon's playing different instruments and check out Chris's BOOTS
Well done Sir.

surprised nobody has mentioned that the music here was taken directly from the studio album.
Well its actually a remix of the studio album.
A lot more clarity and more bass.
Ouuuhhh that bass line
Cheers!

Always throws me to see Jon with an electric guitar 😂
Great work..I would love someone to sync the Yesshows version to this footage
Sublime el yes de chris squire a duo con jon anderson y tambien la epoca con trevor rabin es unico ahora no es lo mismo
Sensacional!!
The late Alan White, some drumming!
Could you sync this video with the audio of Yesshows?
That would be a good one. Possibly more realistic, if Steve plays with the same precision. Alas, not a project for me.
ya no se escucha la guitarra de anderson, pero buen trabajo editando el vídeo, muy bueno, debería sincronizarlo con la versión de yes shows
22 minutes long... magic
Great song prog rock at it's finest.
Remastered or just replaced with the studio audio? The latter, I believe.....
My title was unclear. The video footage is from 1975. The audio is the original recording remixed by Mr. Wilson. My apologies.
Obra maestra
Playing the audio version to a live show... Pretty naff really. I love this song and I would still prefer a totally "live" performance...warts and all

Couldn't agree more, super naff. This isn't very honest. Yes, the live audio is pretty rough...but it's real, which this isn't!
@@frankmarsh1159 the Cleveland Ohio performance was flawless
cool
Pratrick moraz very very talent
How did they do that? It appears that they are really playing that on stage.

Steve Howe, does anything more need to said?
I wonder what Moraz is up to?
last I remember he doing those duo live performances with Bill Bruford. They originally did the 2 studio albums together.
@@jamesgarcia1045 Right, thanks for that James. Yes because Bruford retired from gigging. Another worthy drummer, especially on Red with K.C.
@@StephenGrew yeah love Larks/Red/Starless KC albums. I last saw Bruford live with his Earthworks in the early 2000's. Almost saw him again before the retirement.

Yes, very dishonest. Is Steven Wilson really involved in this? I doubt it.....
Pay attention!!

Synched with STUDIO remaster (wilson) of original
