It’s hard to overstate the influence of the Beatles in the life of any British band that followed them in the late 60s into the 70s. You have to see this clip in the context of the Beatles movie HELP, crossed with all those Benny Hill sketches involving sped up chases of nurses or nuns. The Beatles had opened doors that most popular musicians didn’t know existed - in style, fashion, visuals, movies and music. They offered a blueprint, a template, a kicking-off board for bands like Yes. We took as much as we could and ran with it. I’m pretty sure the canal scenes at the beginning and end are in Bruges, Belgium, the Venice of the north. #billbrufordsearthworks
One can never get enough of Bill Bruford hiding behind trees and running frantically away from nuns.
running cheerfully!
😀😀😀
I thought it was Pippin in the thumbnail
It's just too good! (
Sadly, Chris isn't with us anymore. But imagine he did. Then have this scene recreated. Looking a bunch of old guys running is way even funnier 😅🤣
This is back when Yes was still a European touring group, before America knew who they were. Priceless.
American fans of Yes, including myself, knew who they were, we just hadn't had a chance to see them live yet. I still have their first two albums I bought in '69 and '70. This is from the the second, Time and a Word, which is way underrated IMO. I was a fan from the beginning.
Very true, they became huge over here. I saw them in 1971 on the US tour for Fragile at a college gymnasium it was incredible. Waksman wore a silver cape and with his extremely long blonde hair and the lighting he really stood out. That is still one of my top favorite concerts.
I recognise the track, I think the album was Time and a Word.
Rest in Peace Chris Squire. An absolute legend on the bass
Chris' bass sound is just fantastic......and yes, I am a bass player. This style of music was one of my favorite periods of Yes.
I don't play bass. I play guitar and drums. But those Rickenbackers sure have a distinct sound, don't they?
That wqas one of my favorite bass lines of all times. That ending rocks!
Chris was monumental!
Of course, in this film Steve Howe is playing the part of Peter Banks, who was actually chased by a nun in real life.
so many of "Steve Howe"'s trademarks are things Peter was doing first, like the volume pedal etc......i mean JUST LISTEN TO HIS JAZZ SHRED SOLO HERE!!
That sounds EXACTLY like Howe 2 years later!!
(I thought it was howe, here, but then remembered this is on the 2nd record!)
@@jonbongjovi1869 I often forget which one I'm listening to on the early stuff. They were born 3 months apart, and both made their recording debuts in 1964. They had very similar experience, and both were well known on the psychedelic scene, each having played and recorded with several psych bands. Having listened to most of those bands, I find it impossible to say who came first, but if you listen to Bodast (1968), there are many hints in Howe's playing of what was to come.
@@daevpaeldruid8200 ...a good example of this can be heard in “Nether Street”...!
@@TheOrganiston9th Black Leather Gloves is my favourite, which halfway through turns into Close to The Edge!
I've lost the count on how many times i've listened to Yes while in the Bus going to my university. This track was one of my favourite on the Time And a Word album... I can almost feel 'those years, the city, the cars and people passing' by the bus' window....
They were such a cool band on so many levels..... their look, jazz influences, sense of humour, and their proficiency as musicians......
Where has this been all my life? Thanks Mr. Bruford!
On PBS and elsewhere several times among other similar gems, and that since a very long time, so: Where have you been all your life?
@@Bob-of-Zoid You don't have to be rude.
It was actually posted on the Yes official UA-cam channel before, but I don't know if it was taken down.
@@nickavenoso7851 If it is legitimately the Yes official channel, then why would it be taken down?
If videos do get taken down there, then the channel name is a lie and they deserve the whole channel be taken down!
Man, I've been wanting something different to listen to lately, and for some reason this song really hits the spot. I think I'll listen to this album on the drive home.
Bill, your smile makes me happy ❣️ And Steve, what a funny face 02:30’ 🤪 like the face on the King Crimson ‘s 1st album !
The most amazing thing about this is that John’s hair still looks this good!
Great hi hat Bill!!! I always loved the way you tried to inject a bit of jazz into early Yes. And yet always knew when to rock it up a bit.
the absolute mad lads
First time seeing this, the first two ops were chock full of Bruford’s burgeoning and quick mastery of a true percussionist’s skills.
Bill I saw you in the 70's. You and Yes were nothing short of amazing. Thanks for the memories.
It's incredible to see how young they were while creating this music. It seems so much older than a bunch of boys listening to the Beatles and goofing off with some trees.
If you are going to be chased by a nun, your only hope is that she is HOT and knows how to grab that rudder and steer the boat. This is a jewel, thanks for posting it! You and Chris Squire were amazing together. Not to mention the rest of those chaps. ❤️
No one expects the English Nunquisition!
My 88 yr old pop nearly croked in the last few months, In and out of the hospital 4 times.. Tking care of him at home now, hes doing a bit better, I will look at finding this vid as a positive omen, MANY THANX BB
They were just so unique. Jon’s vocals were ethereal. Bill and Chris were so beyond what would be called a rhythm section. I’m not even sure how Banks got replaced. He was a great guitarist but I guess it worked out for the best. Howe is in my mind the king of prog golden age guitarists. I still turn people onto the music of yes. Been my favorite since the 70’s. As for Mr Bruford I’ve been lucky enough to see him play live at least 9 times in all different formats. I have his song list from that one off acoustic performance with Moraz at the Bottom Line in NYC. One of the roadies or techs dropped it into the audience and I grabbed it out of the air.
I agree about Banks and always wonder about it. Yes, I guess I prefer Howe, but, Peter Banks was an amazing guitar player. At least we kind of get to know how it would have progressed if he'd stayed in the band with the Flash and Badger albums.
Yes and her music is proof that the Lord loves us. With Bruges, the Lord shows us a part of paradise.
Love this song. Used to like riding along in my car at night listening to this song in college.
Darn, this is hilarious. Bill's constant smile just cracks me up.
Mr. Bruford, I can see that HELP influence in this video positively. Great vibes throughout the years from Yes, and beyond. Thank you for your amazing contribution to music. And all of the exquisite musicians in the band called Yes, from Steve Howe's guitars and Jon Anderson with his voice and additional percussion and guitar, Tony Kaye, and Rick Wakeman on his multiple keyboards at the same time, I know that he has influenced many a piano player to venture into the Rock music scene, and Alan White picking up the baton on the drum kit after you moved on to pursue other bands, it's been just pure pleasure. And lest I forget, the amazing bass playing of the beloved Chris Squire, whom we all miss.
I don’t think Bruford was really influenced much by the Beatles but I could be wrong …
@@rhythmfield If you go to the video description there’s a comment by Bill stating the enormous influence of The Beatles in the late 60s and early 70s popular culture, and specifically of HELP on this movie here.
@@dago87able yes but Bill Bruford himself-directly influenced and affected by the Beatles? By Ringo? I’m going to guess not much…
@@rhythmfield Nor do I think so. Inspired in a more broader sense; to be daring, to fuse different traditions, … etc., Bill himself explains it sufficiently well ;)
I saw this for the 1st time back in 1985, at the 1st Yes Con in Cherry Hill, NJ- at the old Hyatt. Ed Sciaky hosted the event (remember Ed, Bill ?...) They showed it on film, this and Astral Traveller, and another one- Survival perhaps ? What memories !!
Also spoke to Alan White & Roger Dean on the phone in front of the assemblage, where our conversation was mic'd over the PA system.
Btw, Anderson, Squire, Bruford, Kaye & Howe were my favorite line up of YES- The Yes Album line up !!
Btw part deux- Ed Sciaky was the only person to greet Yes at the airport upon their arrival in The States for the very first time. Good on Ed, and bless his soul- he is no longer with us.....
🚬😎
Finally, somebody else from Yes Con! I was there in 1987. Loved the concept and the layout. We also got the new-ish Mike Oldfield video with Jon Anderson singing (not sure which song) and a looong phone conversation with Trevor Rabin explaining yet another delay with "Big Generator". Bought a bootleg VHS copy of the Belgian TV show this came from. You forgot the video for "Then", with Squire on keyboards and Kaye on bass. And my favorite drum work of the pre-Eddie Yes, hands down.
The 1970 video for "No Opportunity Necessary..." is priceless as well. Bill's kit in an auto-wrecking yard, camera shooting closely behind his hi-hat at the other guys. Bill driving some kind of dune buggy vehicle, power-shifting cooly with ciggie dangling. Not to be missed!
DAL PRIMO ALBUM DEGLI YES , ANCHE SENZA, STEVE HOWE E RICK WAKEMAN ERA GIÀ CHIARO IL LORO PERCORSO NEL ROCK D'AVANGUARDIA . GRANDE GRUPPO , POCO CAPITO PER LA LORO MUSICA APPUNTO D'AVANGUARDIA E CON ARRANGIAMENTI MOLTO DIFFICILI . MOLTO PIU TECNICI DEI GENESIS . POI CON L'ENTRATA DEI DUE SUCCITATI , MOLTE SPANNE SOPRA AGLI ALTRI . GRANDI
Hadn't seen that before. Brilliant! Does make you question the pugilistic power of Yes though if the whole band had to flee from a single, seemingly annoyed, nun...
"getting it out of second gear..."
Yes played Philly on the Union tour, multiple nights. I was 19 and flew in from the Midwest by myself. There was a fan convention (Yesfest?) at a hotel during the shows. Someone was selling VHS tapes of a compilation of rare stuff. I bought a copy. This clip and the other clips (Belgian tv?) were on that tape. I'd never seen any of that before and it was completely mind-blowing.
That all seems so quaint in our fearless modern digital age.
Thank you B.B., for starting this channel.
That's so cool! I saw that tour in The Woodlands TX (near Houston) circa 1990. Open air amphitheatre. The stars above. A night I'll never forget. Thanks Jason and thanks Bill for all the beautiful music
I was there for YesFest 91, July 12th & 13th for those two Yes shows at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Convention was at the Sheraton hotel, and everyone made an appearance except Bill and Jon. Bought Steve Howe's Turbulence CD which he autographed. That first night, hearing "All Good People" live where everyone sang all the lines almost to the point where you couldn't hear the band was such an incredible experience, that plus seeing them in the round was beyond cool. Also saw the Woodlands show as well with my late-father, the night my car got towed away because I didn't park off the street enough. Nevermind that those ditches were steep.
@@TXMusicDrummer oh yeah, all the mini sets the various members did for us were so fun. Howe played and talked a long time, which was great. Remember when Rabin and White played? Alan starts playing Sound Chaser, everybody started freaking out. Trevor says, "that's great, what is it?" - then everyone laughed. I'll never forget that.
@@boredtemplar I was there too, right behind the orchestra pit. I got escorted out for lightning a joint. Talked my way back though. This was sunset and they were playing Heart of the Sunrise. Squire saw the entire incident and was grinning at me as I returned to my seat.
Really one of my favorite yes songs and clips, the instrumental part is just phenomenal. Ive been trying to learn chris's bass parts for quite some time now and i always try to imagine how it would have sounded live because the band really needs to bee in sync with each other, love it.
Edit: a word
Agreed - Great song and video - quirky and artsy- fartsy
It's a Buffalo Springfield song.....
@@dodibenabba1378 oh wow i didnt know that, i just listened to it and to behonest, yes made it their own. Johns vocals take you intp the song, and instrumentally its more intriguing
@@iemandanders2577 it's certainly great drumming.
Fenomenal? Is that a new opioid drug? Yes the instrumental break is phenomenal.
This song is a treasure.
2021, 58 yrs old and I'm just now discovering this song.
One of my favorite yes albums
Some of my favourite early yes …
This is priceless thankyou thankyou
I am so glad I never watched that video when it came out, I would have been put prog let alone Yes for life!
Would love to see a video for "then" (my favourite early yes song).
The whole album had this "spy movie" vibe that I can still feel in the performances. Maybe just me, but I love it.
Here: ua-cam.com/video/SV2WMJdeTlg/v-deo.html
I managed to get a copy of this on VHS in 1998 and watched it ... religiously, you might say. When I went to a summer of study abroad in England a year later, I found a CD copy of the Yes BBC sessions which included this song. One day we visited Cambridge and I took a boat ride. I pulled off a boot and had someone take a picture of me pretending to drink out of it. I still have that picture, and that CD.
Fantastic sophomore album...Sometimes overviewed...Time and a word...Fantastic!!
Fantastic 😎❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a cool period for music
I had never seen this before. Thanks for posting! I'd be running too.
I love first yes album... Top!
This song is from the second one
One of the Best Band on Earth in one of the most beautiful little town (Brugge-Belgium)... I love this song!
What in the name of!!!........I've never seen this before!!?!?!. All I can say is, that was one determined Sister!!
Bill should grow out those chops again, it's a good look !
RE: The Beatles - obviously an influence with your most excellent cover of "Every Little Thing" on your debut album. Thanks for posting this, Bill.
Agree.
My dear Bill most to see The Beatles influence I saw a Pink Floyd influence, in restrospective this a period experimental for both bands including Floyd, Yes, in music analysis, the psychedelic rock is the angular rock of the progressive rock. I like music. Regards and hughs from Chile, I like your channel and your retrospectives, keep going. I am hugh fan from the progressive rock specially Floyd, Crimson, Yes, Genesis and Camel, I like the 70s and I didnt born in this period, I am 90s boy
... and YES, it's a great song by a Mr. Stephen Stills.
Great instrumental break! Love this song.
Great lil ol film clip! Fun trying to recognize these youthful faces! Music already had that Yes stamp on it & was "no disgrace" ~ loved it 🙏👌💖
Sounds as beautiful today as it did back in the 60's... Thanks Mike Gallo and Alan Pol, Buffalo, NY for turning me on to YES so many years ago.
lifechanging experience
Amazing piece of music.
Steve looks quite comfy in that boat.
Excellent video, very funny about the nun 😂😂😂
Awesome...rad!
Great! Regards, hugs and love from Argentina.
Anyone interested in the Yes magical years should start with "YOURS IS NO DISGRACE" from The Yes Album (their 3rd)..here's what I recommend:
1.Yours Is No Disgrace
2.Starship Trooper
3.Roundabout
4. Heart of Sunrise
5.Siberian Khatru
6.Close to the Edge
7.Turn of Century
8.Awaken
NUFF SAID !!
Yes being chased by a nun - classic.😄 Some great stuff on that album.
The 1970's are my drug of choice. Thanks for this, BB. Tho if there is any more footage of you in white overalls, don't hold back on us.
Great music from my favorite years, my youth. All the Yes albums up to Close to the Edge are fantastic. Bill left and that strong link that held the band together was gone. I always loved his jazz influenced drumming and percussion work. The albums got to bombastic for my taste.
Beat EVER 💜
This is from Yes's first album--before they were REALLY Yes. But still a terrific song.
YES- 1971 open for Jethro Tull, Dallas Memorial Auditorium. Now that was a show. 🖖
Wow, I never knew this video existed!! I'm a pretty major Yes fan and I never came across this before!!
This bands just so magical
Nunca tinha ouvido essa faixa do Yes. Muita influência de jazz. Coltrane. My favourite things. Lindo demais! A beleza da sutileza!
Time and a Word (1970) é o nome do disco. Todas as faixas tem essa pegada fortíssima de hammond (Fase pré-Wakeman, com o Tony Kaye nas teclas). Recomendo violentamente ouvir este disco, e o The Yes Album (1971). Porradarias insanas e com a cara que o Yes tinha antes de investir em um novo tecladista mais versátil.
Total beauty... Soothing , fun... And rock(ed)..!!
Brilliant
This video is part of several songs with videos I first saw in the early '80's, I believe it was called "Rock of the 70's". There was another one in the series featuring early Black Sabbath, playing Paranoid, etc. Had these recorded on VHS for years.
Corking! Never seen this film before.
What an unbelievable amount of talent, regardless of which iteration you consider over the years. I liked some of them more than others but they were all pretty consistent about having top players.
RIP Chris Squire!
I saw Bill Bruford play with YES one day so satisfied I saw him play. (actually three times)
I, also, had never seen this before. Thanks Bill!!!!!!!!!
brilliant song and funny video!
Super song. On guitar- Peter Banks.
So glad finding your official channel , and to reacquaint with this cute video again💕🌞
Yes at their absolute jazziest.
...and finally, the nun caught them.
I like how you uploaded this and made the thumbnail your face instead of the thumbnail on the Yes channel which is Chris haha. Also thank you for the very interesting and insightful descriptions under each video, much appreciated.
Greatest music video ever made!
Thanks Bill. You are my favorite drummer and have been for a very long time.
Beatles mentioned!
never seen this before & have to admit 2 things stood out
1. jon's amazing crisp vocals
2. the nun
i wonder if the actress/model still watches this from time to time.....
keep on rockin' bill
From this era I love "I See You". Banks' Dorian Mode solo is heaven.
Evadarea din cotidian... Splendid!
Being born about 1950 would of been ace for real live music.
I'm afraid I missed this epoch by 20 years and had to put up with the Skids as my first live show.
And they refused to play TV Stars.
ALBERT TATLOCK!
Oh man, out of control !
One of my favorite Yes songs. Thanks for that beautiful video!
Those madcap boys!
Never seen this. Cool.
Oooh brushes! Cool
Great song, love the version of the first album without the strings and this from A Time And A Word.
Love that song so much!
I've never seen this before. It's great! Thank you for sharing it.
Bill Bruford behind the skins! Always numero uno! Genius timing, and absolutely brilliant at skipping the beat, only to return to the same beat half a second later next time (On purpose). I,m not an expert, but l do have a good pair of ears!
Great song I never heard before. Would be a blast after a bowl 😮😉
Well, well, well... it looks like Sister catches up, and now it's "Back to Church with You Guys!"
Why have I never heard this track before? Beautiful intro. I was just about to say 'what happened to the nun' but a few seconds later she turned up! Thanks for sharing.
It looks like bill had to slow down to not outrun the rest of the lame ducks behind him. Fantastic Cover version of a great Steven Stills Tune. I always loved the style in which Yes did covers.
Steve Stills a much unappreciated guitarist & sing writer!
Bands in those days did A LOT of running !!😂 Hard Day's Running !🤣
