After all this years I still can't believe I saw Geddy Lee playing with Yes.
it is heartwarming.bittersweet f course because the fouding member CHRIS THE FISH SQUIRE is nt there but heartwarming .GEDDY has done so much for music and this is his gift.playing live with his hereos.
RIP Chris Squire... Getty Lee did a good job standing in for Chris...
Randy King Well I’m sure he’s been playing this since he was a kid so.. 😝
Geddy was a teenager when Yes started. Hell, both bands started in the same year. And when Ged first heard about Yes, he was already almost in his adult years
Geddy Lee Did Excellent He Idolized Chris Squire.
*Geddy
Geddy & Yes, moments to make ya MOIST 🤘
It was so perfect Ged was there for Chris. No one could have filled his shoes better.
Les Claypool would have matched the album cut with only one thumb
@@netrioter Geddy only needed his index finger.
@@VideoMask93 Jaco Pastorius could have done it with no hands..lol
disagree, he did okay and is obviously a very talented bass player but it doesn't sound quite right with geds fingerdtyle technique
Lee Pomeroy...just as good on bass
I love the way Geddy has this look of "I get to play with YES!" like it's his dream come true.
Yeah its funny. Like John Petrucci being interviewed along side Geddy on some.youtube forum here. John must have neen like daaamn!!! I'm sitting next to one of heros.
Fuck yeah!!!
What a Rush!
id needed 30 sesk, til geddy escalated
Just playing, too cool, but heck, would not expect anything else from him.
Some folks need to understand something. Real musicians respect each other. Chris Squire would not have derided Geddy Lee as an "OK" bass player as some fans have here in the comments. Chris Squire knew Geddy Lee could play anything Chris Squire could, and vice-versa. They're both among the world's most legendary rock bassists. What makes any musician unique is how the compose, phrase, and interpret. Chris and Geddy despite both being ultra-talented bassists sounded different. They had unique styles. That's what musicians celebrate about other musicians. And yes, Chris Squire was one of Geddy Lee's strongest influences. However, that doesn't make him "less of a Chris Squire" or not unique. In short, wake up and understand that musicians don't play your "my favorite is better than your favorite" game.
Yeah, but critics aren't musicians usually:) Its just in fun, nobody gets hurt. Fact is that Chris is dead. The guy was definitely a unique bassist so who would you get? Les Claypool? He had just done the gig when Rush got inducted. Rush inducted them, it makes perfect sense for Geddy Lee to play. I don't think ANYBODY would say it wouldn't have been ideal to have Chris there, but he's playing bass for Hendrix.
Well said.
I don't see a single comment where anyone was bashing Geddy?
@@jakeb934 I don't know, what the guy said was some were deriding him as an 'ok bass player', and that Chris Squire wouldn't do that, which I think is true. Anybody deriding Geddy Lee as just an 'ok bass player', all I have to say is, good luck with that.
Simple
Chris is great
Geddy is great
Both sound different from each other
I'm guessing Geddy enjoyed every second of this, playing with his heroes.
Damn, I bet it was an awesome experience
can only assume
i think it's rather bittersweet for him because he doesn't get to play with his biggest hero in the physical sense, though chris squire is definitely there in the music and in spirit, so you're probably right
wonder how it feels to play on stage with your idols.
I was just thinking that as I was watching this !!! How effing " WIN" is Geddy Lee's life ?!?! Yeah ... I'm the bass player and vocalist in arguably one of the greatest rock bands of all time and... I got to f**king play ROUNDABOUT live WITH YES .
Wonder how it feels to play with geddy Lee
@Rabbi Goldschlong surely, the opposite!
@Rabbi Goldschlong surely, the opposite!
I mean it's not like Rush is an unknown band...
Seeing Geddy sit in for Chris brought a tear to my eye.
It makes sense. Nobody could have filled Squire's shoes better than Geddy Lee.
Just one? I couldn't stop. Awesome performance!
I love how Geddy is just there. Not trying to show off he's just happy for the opportunity to play with one of his favourite bands ever
I think Geddy Lee was the only appropriate choice to fill Squire’s shoes, and he did it perfectly.
I agree
No one else couldve filled the shoes, maybe les claypool but his style just doesnt fit Yes.
How sad the only member of Yes to never leave Yes didn't live long enough to see his band inducted. RIP Chris Squire.
Very sad
Alan never left either and he's there
@@Mewhen12369 But, I don't think Alan was a founding member, was he?
Bill Bruford played drums for Yes as well.
@@derekjhpeterson3882 Yes. But he left the band. Chris never did.
I believe this remains Geddy's last on stage performance, and he does a great job standing in for Chris Squire. Funny thing is, he's got this super-famous bass line going on, a dominant line at that, and he's trying his best to strike this balance of participating well but not bring attention to himself since it is Yes's night.
And he did after all borrow much of it for Spirit of Radio
And they will be back on stage again, with Alex to Taylor Hawkins tribute.
Musician's credo: serve the song only.
Still waiting for the new Rush tour with Dave Grohl on drums.
He played a few shows this year. For the South Park anniversary show, and the 2 Taylor Hawkins tribute shows.
Do you like this song? Who is this?
*YES YES YES YES YES*
yare yare daze
YES YES YES
OH MY GOD!
And your next line is going to be "is that a JoJo reference?".
Is that a Jojo refrence?
“What’s the name of the band? Are you part of them?”
“YES! I AM!”
That’s a good jojoke
Speedwagon
lol
*MOHAMMED AVDOL!!*
HELL, 2 U!
Some wizard playing keyboard
Fahkin Rick Wakeman, legend
Some New York gangster playing drums
Some man with a ponytail on guitar.
His stand is "Piano man"
THE Wizard
Jon Anderson said in an interview after the induction that he knew Geddy was really nervous, but he did an awesome job here. He really enjoyed working with him. :)
Why the heck would geddy be nervous? Hes played more concerts than yes has lmao
@@trenken I'm pretty sure the Rushians were all fans of YES and drew inspiration from them.
@@zombywoof1015 i know they did but its not like geddy was some random fan who was a bass player for a hobby that got to play with his idols lmao. Geddy was in his own band that got bigger than yes ever were, and played in front of far more people than they ever did. If anything he was excited. Nervous? Nah not buying it.
At least Geddy didn't have to play keyboards and sing while playing bass, you know, like he usually does.
@@trenken Well, Jon Anderson said it himself. He was there. And you weren't.
I wonder if Geddy looks at Jon and thinks " man ... that guy sure does have a high-pitched voice ! " LOL
John Anderson does a great job of impersonating Rob Paulson, AKA Yakko from the animaniacs.
Yeah thinking about him in the early days.
Lol
That's a good one.
Maybe similar beak noses for ultimate progressive shimmer but jons is shorter hence the next level high wisp :)
I wonder what they think about the cultural impact this song has.
I wonder if Jon Anderson watches jojo
Jojo is just a gate.
Thay may thank.
I wonder if they knew that it would become an anthem for anime fans and meme-lovers.
Harley Thomas shut up
I’ve been a fan of Yes since I was like 3 and never expected any of their songs to be in an anime or become a meme.
That Bass player is pretty good, they should offer him a job.
Please tell me you're kidding ahaha !
He’s gonna be HUGE!!
😂
I think he already has one ;-)
And if he works hard enough, he may get inducted himself someday.
One of my bass idols filling in for another one of my idols. So fitting and I am sure Geddy was honored because Chris was one of his idols.
Geddy Lee playing onstage with Yes. I have one word for that. Betcha can’t guess what that one word is!
That’s right! It’s YES!!!
Wonder if he played hard to get when they approached him or if he was like a spastic fan going hard fanboy on them.
My favorite bassist standing in for my other favorite bassist.
R.I.P. Chris Squire. One of the greats. I really miss seeing Geddy Lee live in concert. I'd fly to a city just to watch the music of Rush again, with Geddy Lee.
And things are even worse now.
The best Alan White performance for years. You can tell he absolutely gave it his all for this monumental occasion.
It would've been epic to have Bill Bruford playing together with Alan White, having a two-drumset version of Yes.
@@jacobtapianieto9655 at least we have the Union tour. I Honestly don't get why Tony and Bill aren't up there playing too.
Geddy killed this. What an amazing bass performance and the green bass is so coooooool!!
Geddy is one of the few bass players to say he's played in two of the greatest bands ever
He's played with Ginger and Eric. So that's at least three of 'em.
Best wishes
Is that Geddy Lee on bass?
No, is Geddy Lee
Viejotrueno thanks
Yes it is
yes it is ! Getty did a great job
lol - no .. It was Weird Al Yankovic -
This truly makes me feel *a bit closer to heaven*
I Love seeing Geddy Lee standing in, as the consummate pro, for one of the guys he admired and learned from.....it must have been a big honor for him to do this!
About time that YES gets into the Hall. Well deserved. Incredible musicianship for over 50 years. Cheers to Jon and band. LOVE you guys!!!
Geddy fully living in the moment. This is the definition of Epic.
I can't help but feel a great sense of pride seeing Geddy Lee performing Chris Squires' part. Two of my biggest influences, Geddy Lee moreso. Humility, conviction, and respect - Geddy Lee is the epitome of musicianship and humanity.
Spot on. All the qualities you mention were in evidence here.
So well said, thanks.
was so happy to see that Rick Wakeman still looks and dresses like a wizard.
Geddy Lee playing so effortlessly on that bass. Just amazing
You know Alex was thinking "I should have played bass" when he was watching Geddy live out both their dream of being part of Yes.
Thank God for Chris Squire who inspired Geddy Lee to play bass who became so good, he could fill in for when Chris was gone.
RIP Alan White, you absolute legend
I loved seeing Geddy perform with Yes and honor Chris Squire! Well done! Put a big smile on my face!
I love this performance because while age has weakened them in some aspects a lifetime of artistry and devotion shines through
Man, hard to believe that it's already been 8 years since we lost Chris. It's a crime that they did not induct Yes while Chris was still alive to enjoy it.
Steve Howe: "Hey Geddy, ya wanna play Roundabout ? Geddy : "I'll give it a try..."
Wakeman is still incredible! Hats off to Geddy Lee great job!
Happy 77th John Roy Anderson. October 25, 1944 Accrington, U.K. You are a Progressive Rock Music Icon.
Many, many more John Roy.
Honestly this is a DREAM lineup for a 2017 Yes show, Anderson Wakeman Howe White Rabin Lee
Goes crazy!!!
I'm sure in Getty's humility he is grateful to be up there filling in for Chris.
Absolute killer group of musicians here, for sure! Total talent. Phenomenal memories, for the hundreds of notes played and words sung! Without doubt, one of the greatest bands of all time!
Steve Howe is one of the most amazing guitarists I have eve seen! thank you for your gift and continuing to share your music!
Of course he changed the way to sing it given its age (I guess) and current voice... But it's still awesome. And Lee is a fantastic replacement for Chris Squire.
Of course people change, including vocals at that age, but it certainly was not awesome.
@@nealm6764 I haven't heard many people in their 70s sing as well as Jon continues to do. This wasn't his finest performance ever but I think he did great. He got better as the song went on.
@@taylorhansen9290 That is moving the goal posts on what I commented on. If we want to say he sings better than most 70 year olds - sure. But to say it was "awesome", no it was not. It sounded really bad.
Neal M
Give them a break man, Yes has served as one of the greatest prog rock bands for more than 5 decades now. RRHOF inducted these guys way too late..
@@nealm6764 There's always some twat saying it's not that good.
Congratulations on being that twat.
Such an iconic song. What a shame the sound techs didn’t turn the bass up for them on the big stage. The guitars were way too loud and the bass was absolutely undersold. In the recording, the bass is the soul of the song.
The bass was the product of a great man who is no longer with us. Geddy simply made sure he got the part right but let the other elements of "Roundabout" speak. Sort of the horse with no rider in a funeral cortege'.
@@derhandtrommler
Great analysis. Still wish I could have the bass part a little more clearly, all the same.
Best wishes
Epic... Geddy getting to play with Yes🤘.
yes with geddy lee on bass holy fuck
So hard watching this without Chris being up on stage with them but he's watching from above so proud. What an incredible performance! Thank you Geddy Lee for the added bonus, well done!!
They've still got it after all these years.
I love this song. Love it LOUD! So glad to see Geddy playing with them. So happy to see Yes and Rush in the R&RHOF! About time!
people making Jojo references but not even referencing Phantom Blood which is the part with this as its outro
yare yare daze
Federal Bureau of Investigation You’re next line is “Oh wait, I forgot about Battle Tendency”
@@jjeremyhaze Your next line is "I, Jeremy, am indeed a dork".
Zoomer.
I don't blame them. I mean, do you count how many bread loafs you've ate in your life?
Um... part 2
After all these years, amazing, especially the vocals.
Alan White passed. 5-26.
So enjoy this.
Seeing Steve Howe and Geddy Lee on the same stage blew the top of my head clean off.
This is so good gives me chills.
Getty remarked how bittersweet it was standing in for his hero Chris.
Getty Lee is a natural choice to stand in for Chris Squire. But just imagine this for a minute, he is a rock legend himself, yet he is onstage with some of his biggest influencers who are also legendary. How must he have felt playing with them? I could imagine he felt a bit like a kid again.
BRAVO! Voice, tempo, Geddy lending a hand, etc. Pretty good lads! Bloody good!
They still sound fantastic!!!!! Good for them.... I love YES
good total performance. enjoyed the artwork behind the band
i have all ways loved the Bass line in this song as a kid it was the reason i started to play the bass
Getty probably practiced it a lot in his younger days, too. Notice how effortlessly he plays. Like he's done a million times.
What amazed me was that these guys could step up there after nearly sixty years and these songs still sounded just as good as when they first recorded them.
I'm 63rs old. this was one of my favorite bands in my time. the other day my grand kids 10 & 13 yrs.' old found my albums and were rocking to this song. my jaw dropped. lol they said this is cool gramps. where did you get it. so I told them it was from my era. I asked them do you want to see them now. of course they said yeah. so I let them see this video on the big screen and on loud as if they were in concert. they couldn't believe their eyes. 2 new rockers born just then. wait until they find the rest of all my oldies. ohh the memories we are going to have together now.thanks for the great music YES we are going to carry it on. 63 and still rocking.
Slap headphones on them and play 2112. Tell them it's the bass player's band.
Unbelievable musicians! I have listened to this song for 40 years and it's a timeless one. If only today's modern musicians could compose something half as good as this.
So glad I got to see Chris a couple times. My dad always played the music he grew up with in the car, Rush, Yes, Dire Straits etc. Got to see Chris play on two separate occasions and have now been lucky enough to see 5 different incarnations of Yes.
One of the best baslines you will ever hear.
Great sound, we should all be so lucky to keep our talents from decades ago and keep the rock in your soul, quite fine...
Effortlessly beautiful. Thank you for nostalgia. YES❤
Geddy Lee ,en un día soñado ,tocar con Yes ,que buen músico y todos los Yes unos grosos totales !!!!! Salve salve rocanroll!!!!!
RIP Chris, RIP Alan
Wow, what an amazing supergroup 👍
These guys are so good, all others will be measured by them - and will fail by that measurement.
Aa a fan of Chris Squire, I bet Geddy Lee remembers this day for a long time. They were both fans of each other, but Geddy Lee has said Chris was a influence of his.
I wish this Yes lineup stayed together and did the 50th anniversary tour.
Love how Trevor and Steve share backing vocals
Imagine when you are a huge fan of yes and rush, and despite all the sorrow and deep loses, this happens....
I was there with my adult son and Pearl Jam his favorite got inducted also....!
@@WooBino. and journey too!!!
@@fenderstratocastertelecast8479 Yeah if Perry would have performed with them that would have been a r& r hat trick. 🏒🎼🗽
@@WooBino. yeah, what a shame
They need to evaluate some Day King crimson.. I Was hoping for Asia and toto... Instead other non-rock entities
I know he was "retired", but for this ONE song I wish Bill had sat behind the drum kit. It was HIS song originally; his drumming was essential to Yes' unique sound and creativity.
Bills drum's on the first five albums were absolutely phenomenal.
I love this Song,a Masterpiece...who's agree?
I love how Steve sometimes looks directly at the camera
How grateful I am for them!!
The Geddster thumbing that bass line was sweet icing. Rest easy Chris they brought in thee fellow prog rocker. I played every solo on Roundabout in my bedroom, volume cranked to the Spinal Tap 11.
rick is a wizard....
Yes. The man is possessed. He is a fucking brilliant keyboardist! Hands down the best.
Y E S LEGENDS Y E S
A legendary masterpiece and a legendary group! along with another legend: Geddy Lee. What else can we ask for?
Couldn't have picked a better stand-in for Chris.
Xero Delacroix did you mention Stands
@@basabasabasa oh fuck it seems so, you know what to do.
@@kogallfixation not finding jojos references is muda muda muda muda lol
@@basabasabasa agreed, you can search and *crusade* on the entire globe but it's impossible to not find jojo references!
@@kogallfixation but along the way you meet people and create an unbreakable golden bond
The remaining members of Rush & Yes should get together to form the most super prog rock group ever!!!
I'd pay to see that. 🙂
Stop the profanity..!
I know! Before it’s too late.
John, Rick, Geddy, Alex.
Trevor and Lee backup.
Epic.
And call it Asia!
No, wait. How about Yesh?
I love this sooooo much!
When I was growing up in rural Shropshire, England, all the cool older kids loved yes , genesis, Rush , elp , elo .... Huge influence on me as a kid 😊
My only complaints are that Bruford didn’t play with them and the Hall took too long to induct them, keeping Chris Squire from joining them before his death. Great performance, regardless! Welcome to the Hall, Yes!
Sadly, Bruford is retired from drumming.
Also Tony didn't show up.
REAL musicians.
Incredible, Yes!
One of the best bands of all time...
and one of their best songs...
I don't know why, but my eyes always tear up, when I see and hear Ged playing this song with these guys in YES. The musicianship is just so moving and you can see the love in his performance. He's not just playing the bass, he is in PARADISE!! This is obviously something that he's always wanted to do and he certainly did it WELL!! :D All these guys are legends...and it shows. :)
Most bands are lucky to have one good keyboard soloist. Yes had two, Wakeman's left hand and his right.
Great music is forever, still great like when I first listened to it
Thanks Geddy. great musician in his own right
YES do not miss a beat. I’ve seen them live many times over the years, UN BE LIE VABLE performance by these guys. WOW
Awesome Getty Lee! Rick Wakeman hasn’t lost his edge! The boys really delivered!
