    The early 70s was when lots of folk traded in their old mono record player for a fancy stereo set up with two-foot-high speakers, a separate amp, with a laser strobe timer light at the side of the turntable. It now seems like record producers started switching the sound back and forth between speakers on tracks like this or say, Floyd’s Money, just so we could play with our new toys.

    You asked how they constructed the song? Jon Anderson the vocalist usually comes up with the basic idea and each musician then add to the basic idea. I don't know exactly what they did with this song but it's probably similar to how they composed Close To The Edge. So, they develop little fragments of a song maybe one minute, two minutes then at the end the tie all the fragments together to create the song, it's quite a unique way of composing songs in this age. The genius is not just how they tie it all together but the bridges that they use to link one part with another part.

King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer, early Genesis, Jethro Tull, Alan Parsons Project, Focus, Camel, Hawkwind, Henry Cow, Moody Blues, Gong, Greenslade, Mike Oldfield, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Van Der Graaf Generator, Soft Machine, UK, Atomic Rooster... have fun!

    Yes to their fan base with this entire album...
    "We'd like you to meet our new guitarist."
    As far as more yes goes, I strongly suggest you do their stuff in chronological order, starting with this album, The Yes Album. IMO, only a few of their album sides, and only one album, needs to be done in one listen. Most of their albums can be done track by track. But, again IMO, order of tracks is important.
    As a Yes fan, I also love their first two albums, but they're very different from anything which came after. For prog, stick with starting with The Yes Album. Then maybe go back and hit Yes and Time and a Word.
    I'm blanking on if you ever did Yes' cover of Simon and Garfunkle's "America." If you do cover comparisons, that's a fun one to do.

    Andy, you asked how prog bands put their longer pieces together. Sometimes each guy will have written something that isn't necessarily a song, maybe just a riff, and when one of the other guys says "here's my idea for a piece" another guy will say "my little thing could fit in as an interlude there" and another guy says "my little thingmight be a section to take us out of the piece" then they figure out how to blend them and create transitions between them. As Alex said, sometimes the fun is to follow the fun, to let the compositional process and sudden improvisational ideas take you as a band on a journey to see where it leads, as opposed to saying "ok, we have a verse, chorus, bridge, guitar solo, so we're done."

    One 1970s prog band you haven't covered is Gentle Giant. "Proclamation" is perhaps the best introduction to their "sound." See also: "Just the Same," "Knots," "On Reflection" and "I Lost My Head." (They may block YT videos, as I've yet to see a GG "reaction" video.)
    Another band considered by some as early prog/psychedelia, that you have yet to hit, is The Moody Blues. (Famous for their Mellotron sound.) See "Legend of a Mind" or "Tuesday Afternoon."
    And you've yet to hit Iron Butterfly. Their 1968 debut LP was called "Heavy." (IRON Butterfly + Heavy = 1st heavy metal?) I suggest you react to a few of their other songs before you tackle their 17-minute classic "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"--which inaugurated the rock music drum solo for decades to follow. See "In the Time of Our Lives," "Soul Experience" or "Real Fright." (They had one of the best rock bassists of the 1960s, if not of all classic rock. Very melodic. And Erik Brann, a 17-year-old guitarist!)

    First time I saw YES live they opened with this song. As expected the audience stood and cheered and applauded while the concert started. Then something weird happened. The entire stadium sat down and just stared. I thought “Oh no! They aren’t enjoying it.” but, as the number came to its climax, the whole place stood and cheered with thunderous approval. Then, as the next song started, it happened again. Everyone
    just sitting and listening. Then cheering wildly at the end of each song. I had not been to very many rock concerts yet, but this seemed strange to me. By the end, I realized this was an enormous show of respect. Never seen anything like it since. ✌️
