What an amazing performance! Everyone always mentions Chris Squire’s outstanding bass lines but he was also an incredible vocalist. The way he harmonizes with Jon is a big part of the Yes sound!
SO true, Chris's vocals were such a huge part of their sound, he was every bit as important vocally as anything else, "FISH OUT OF WATER" really showcase's his vocal talents and is a musical masterpiece and evidence of the huge importance of his role in this band!
I saw this preformed in Seattle in 77! Met my true love there and we had a little girl and now she is grown and I have taken her to hear these guys for herself!!
That's cool. I saw them on the Union tour in '91 at the old Center Coliseum. I bet you were there? Also saw ABWH in March '90, Yes on the Talk tour at the Gorge, and again in '98 at the Chateau Ste. Michel winery amphitheater with Alan Parsons Project!
Bien ahí, papá !!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Hermoso aspecto (entre varios) de amar a su hija!!! Enseñarle lo bueno (excelente en este caso) de un arte excelso como la música 🎶
I am incredibly glad to have seen this lineup first in 72 and then many times after that. Now, it all seems like an amazing dream, as if it was so great it couldn't have been from this world. They were a live spiritual journey back then...every time!
I seen them in concert in 1977 JCNJ Roosevelt stadium. It was the most awesome concert. And sadly the last year of concerts due to a stabbing death at the concert. The band was totally totally awesome. My god bring me back
Man, this just kills! I bought the album when it came out, and it's still one of my top three Yes LPs. All of these guys were great, and for my money, Squire was drivin' that train. 😎
Yes was such a great live band back in the day, so happy I grew up in the 70's and got to see ALL the best bands. Never will there be another era like that.
..and all these tunes run crazy time signatures. Chris Squire playing those nasty bass lines while singing.. they all sole their souls to get here. I’m sure of it
The slide guitar blows the back of my skull off.Especially after about 3:50 where you can't even tell what the hell he's doing to it. It's a visitor from another planet at that point ! These guys : )
im a bit embarassed to admit that for years i had no idea this was a slide guitar. worse yet, i have played guitar for many years. i just couldn't understand what the hell was making that noise. i guess i knew it was a guitar or some kind of stringed instrument but i think ive only known it was a slide for about a year. at the end it literally soars like a bird and almost makes me cry.
At that time, I remember that Going for the One and Tormato were underestimated by Yes fans in Argentina. Today both are real classics from Yes discography. Time changes everything and puts things on its real place.
Going for the one, nunca fue subestimado por los seguidores de YES en Argentina. Tenia canciones que eran un continuación de las obras maestras de CTTE, como Turn of Century, Awaken y Going for the One. Tormato fue un gran cambio, dificil de entender...la mezcla fue muy criticada por todos... y fue el ultimo disco antes del real quiebre de la banda...
I was a punk back in 77 but I just loved this album and the title track is superb!! I really dont think music will ever be as brilliant as this ever again
THIS ... is the song , that had me hooked on YES . Way back ... when I was 11year old kid . It was a supreme Sound Masterpiece to my ears -- still is .....
The late 70´s were a great phase in rock music........YES had developed so much....concerning sound and harmonies........I love that album! They were on the brink of 80´s pop, but better. The 80´s never reached that level, not in rock, not in pop music.
This didn't leave my turntable when I was a young kid in the late seventies. Then Rush's 2112 and All The World's A Stage. Damn, I've always loved Wakeman's synth break in this song and Chris Squire ... This almost beings a tear to my eye... Remembering better days. RIP Neil Peart.
I remember this so well! My friend Willie and I attended the St. Louis stop for the Going for the One tour. My last of 4 other live performances of my favorite Prog Rock band of all time. I saw them all. Genesis, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, The Moody Blues, ELO, Star Castle. Yes was the only band I saw in concert 5 times.
I was 5 when this came out. I woke to this tune every school day as we had a cassette radio alarm. So 7am this blasted out. I would not get out of bed untill turn of the century started. Loved it then. Love it now. The best Yes album of all.
This song envelopes the meaning of the 70's. I wanna go back there and hop in my little black Datsun 240z with the orange pinstripe that I practically washed and waxed right off of it and just drive listening to YES!
I remember back in 1977 when Yes was in Philly at the now Defunct JFK Stadium with headliners like Fleetwood Mac, Gary Wright, and of course Yes, but, I can't remember the other bands! Please fill in the gaps, Thanks Very Much!!
The opening acts were Pouset Dart Band and the Mummers, no kidding. Do you remember the moon rising above the bleachers as Yes took the stage? One of the many times I saw Yes in Philly.
Yes Songs blew me away, with their masterful sounds the year I graduated, and their reunion tour a few years back was a tribute to the true Chamin Masters they have grown into!!! Thank Godness for music, for without it, what a monotonous World this would be!!! ❣God bless all!!!
I just can’t think of another band that could bring so much energy to a song. Going for the one is a strange song but oh my. They squeezed the juice out of it like no others
I will miss Yes. Alan White has some family in the town I live in, and a bloke I used to work with had a son who was supposed to be a drumming prodigy. They both met the band back stage at Bingley Hall Stafford on the Going for the One tour, in 1977.
Tormato was the last "thin Chris" tour. Not sure why he went from tailored suits and styled hair to at the end just didn't give a crap what he looked like. The tights or sweatpants were not a good look for him. I think he was just worn out from over 40 years of endless touring.I always loved him no matter what, but in the early years he had a very regal appearance.
+Eric McCreadie "Saw this same concert at Skydome Toronto in 1977 ..." Quite a trick, seeing as how Skydome didn't even open until 1989!! CNE Stadium, perhaps? Or MLG? But you're right about "Awaken"! Saw the same tour in Vancouver (17 sept '77) and that song definitely was the highlight!!!
I saw them in the round at Nassau Coliseum on Long Is land. It was insanely good. They were 100% giving their A game. Left a lifelong impression on me....
Back when Bands could really play and sound engineers could really Erm...sound engineer! And I'm an old farty Punk who's not supposed to like this sort of stuff!!...Brilliant!
Frank Huizar What an experience it must've been to have seen them at that time. I just wish they would've put whatever differences they had aside and had done one more tour with Jon Anderson.
WOW! To play this song live & to get it basically spot on with the studio version..forget about it! Thesed guys are beyond Amazing. Not many bands in any era of music had this much talent. Not to mention Jon's vocals. Had to be hard as shit to sing this song live. YES forever!!!!
Anyone listening in 2024??? RIP Chris Squire and Alan White. I just saw Jon Anderson last year and he sounds exactly the same as he did in the old days
This is probably one of the last shows where CS played the 8 string Rick. In the same tour the luthier Eric Ranney gave him his 8 string builted with chris' specs and from that time I always saw squire with that bass.
@@Sadowsky1965 Yeah, Chris preferred the Ranney 8-stringer over the Ric because the Ranney allowed for individual intonation settings for each of the 8 strings. The Ric didn't have that capability with the stock bridge. So the Ric 8-stringer was either in tune down low on the neck or up high, but not both.
Sincronização impecável de todos integrantes me dá arrepios e tristeza pois nunca mais haverá uma banda tão impecável como essa mas fico feliz de ter vivido para ver essa perfeição musical.
Maravilla de canción. Es lo mas perfecto que he escuchado en mi vida, técnica, composición, interpretación...son demasiadas cosas para expresarlas en un comentario. No me da miedo repetirme, maravilla e canción.
What an amazing performance! Everyone always mentions Chris Squire’s outstanding bass lines but he was also an incredible vocalist. The way he harmonizes with Jon is a big part of the Yes sound!
Huge part He was the best harmony singing bass player I have ever seen. Probably why I went over 40 times
Squire was a church choir boy before becoming a rock god.
@@luckycomb Indeed! And brought a ton of music theory with him
SO true, Chris's vocals were such a huge part of their sound, he was every bit as important vocally as anything else, "FISH OUT OF WATER" really showcase's his vocal talents and is a musical masterpiece and evidence of the huge importance of his role in this band!
Chris Squire really made "Fragile" the classic that it is (especially heard on "Roundabout").
Saw Jon and the Geeks last night in Chicago! Excellent show! 2 songs off the forthcoming new album Good stuff! Jon is still the singing magician
The "Going for the One" studio sessions on UA-cam crack me up. What a wonderful band. These guys really did it right.
I saw this preformed in Seattle in 77! Met my true love there and we had a little girl and now she is grown and I have taken her to hear these guys for herself!!
That's cool. I saw them on the Union tour in '91 at the old Center Coliseum. I bet you were there? Also saw ABWH in March '90, Yes on the Talk tour at the Gorge, and again in '98 at the Chateau Ste. Michel winery amphitheater with Alan Parsons Project!

So sad we will never see this line up again, they were perfection.
I am incredibly glad to have seen this lineup first in 72 and then many times after that. Now, it all seems like an amazing dream, as if it was so great it couldn't have been from this world. They were a live spiritual journey back then...every time!
Especially since both Chris Squire and Alan White both died. No original Yes members are in Yes right now.
the last time properly was the jazz festival in 2004. an amazing concert. hopefully AI can make this lineup come back again thats are only hope.
@@royisstr The 35th anniversary tour was great (2004) but you could tell they were all fading fast … glad I saw it too 👏🏼❤️🔥
Godz!!!
I seen them in concert in 1977 JCNJ Roosevelt stadium. It was the most awesome concert. And sadly the last year of concerts due to a stabbing death at the concert. The band was totally totally awesome. My god bring me back

Yes was such a great live band back in the day, so happy I grew up in the 70's and got to see ALL the best bands. Never will there be another era like that.
Amen to that.
Amen, dude. Saw them twice in the late 70's, and AWBH in the 90's. Great music and musicians.
So true. the 70s were the best time ever to be a teenager.
Worked at Wembley Arena (as it was called then) in 1977. These guys turned up and I was blown away. Loved them ever since.
Much of the energy they discuss is thanks to the wonderful performance of the great Alan White
These guys are the greatest musicians of all time!
..and all these tunes run crazy time signatures. Chris Squire playing those nasty bass lines while singing.. they all sole their souls to get here. I’m sure of it
On video?..;)
Not so much. If I can play this, they ain't the greatest google morbid man covers close to the edge SoundCloud
Along with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd...
There never has been another bassist quite like Chris Squire - amazing how much he produces live on one instrument.
Best bass guitar song ever: On the Silent Wings of Freedom, off the Tormato album.
I've been a Yes fan since grade school!! Squire has ALWAYS been one of my most favorite bassists!! A true innovator!!
@@oo88oo Wow! Agree!!
Well said.
As much as I like CSquire and his ability and voice, I have a picture of me shaking John Entwistles hand. John knew how to do it too.
Jon sounds like a little kid on this one, his vocals are just out of this world god damn!
This was the song that hooked me on Yes. I was young and heard this on the radio and was blown away.
Yup me too❣
Idem for me !
Me too in 1997.
It’s the opposite for me. I grew up on the early hits all on Yessongs and just discovered this one after 50 years of being a Yes fan. Go figure!
@@baco82 me too in 1997 !!
Pure love. Every moment, perfect. Lightning in a bottle.
The slide guitar blows the back of my skull off.Especially after about 3:50 where you can't even tell what the hell he's doing to it.
It's a visitor from another planet at that point ! These guys : )
Anderson blows my brain!!!
Just like on the Album!!😎
Right ON!
im a bit embarassed to admit that for years i had no idea this was a slide guitar. worse yet, i have played guitar for many years. i just couldn't understand what the hell was making that noise. i guess i knew it was a guitar or some kind of stringed instrument but i think ive only known it was a slide for about a year. at the end it literally soars like a bird and almost makes me cry.
Dig it dude. YES rules❣
What a way to start the morning. Brilliant. I can listen to this 10 times in a row.
Give some love to Steve Howe too!!! That steel pedal is unparalleled in rock music!!!
40 years later, still just damn good
Really gets the blood flowing!
They were virtuosos.

They always gave flawless live performances. Like no other.
Absolutely stellar. This music insanely excellent in every way. I miss Chris.
Amazing ... the best live version I have ever heard.
Flawless performance of this great Yes tune... this song always puts me in a good mood!
Chris Squire is amazing, I'm glad I got to see show in New Haven Coliseum in 1977 Sept. Tickets only $ 8.00 back then for a decent seat..! T.D.
I saw them in 77 at the Glasgow Apollo...fantastic concert...time flies...one of the greatest live bands of all time.
This bassline brings me to tears every single time
THIS ... is the song , that had me hooked on YES . Way back ... when I was 11year old kid .
It was a supreme Sound Masterpiece to my ears -- still is .....
They had me with Close to the Edge years before. I’d never heard a single piece laid out like that and played so brilliantly.
YES = the epitomy of pure musical perfection. " Listen to life."
This was my favorite time & tour of theres at MSG/ NYC they opened up with Parallels
Check out the full show:

Yes Shows was the soundtrack of my early teen years
uno più bravo dell'altro! Nel '77 tenevano ancora alto il buon rock. Unici

What a bang-on live version of such a great song ....
One of the best YES songs ever
For me, it's PARALLELS from the same album.
Saw this concert in Munich, 1977. I was attending boarding school in Salzburg. Anyone else out there from SIPS?🙏👍
I was in Texas at the time and saw them in Austin...Houstin...and Dallas all the same year 1977. The first time I heard Awaken my head exploded!!!
Great job! What amazing energy they had in those days.
Fantastic performance! A splendid time is guaranteed for all...
This is the most beautiful hit of all rock music that I have ever heard!
The best in the world!
Love the time changes, very Rush like

SSaw this concert in 9/77 in Oakland, Ca. Stunning! Well done video.
Thank you for the music Chris. You will be remembered. 6/28/15.
Lady BlackstarDust I was there too. Great time to grow up in the bay area.
This is massively great. Who plays like this? Only Yes
Amazing thanks!
Thank you!
I just can’t think of another band that could bring so much energy to a song. Going for the one is a strange song but oh my. They squeezed the juice out of it like no others
I will always remember Chris Squires suit on this tour.
And he wore it again for the Union tour.
I will miss Yes. Alan White has some family in the town I live in, and a bloke I used to work with had a son who was supposed to be a drumming prodigy. They both met the band back stage at Bingley Hall Stafford on the Going for the One tour, in 1977.

This is the album that brought us Turn of the Century, Wonderous Stories and the legendary classic Awaken.
Awaken is the best prog tune ever.
Saw this same concert at Skydome Toronto in 1977 The highlight of the night was when Yes played Awaken
+Eric McCreadie "Saw this same concert at Skydome Toronto in 1977 ..." Quite a trick, seeing as how Skydome didn't even open until 1989!! CNE Stadium, perhaps? Or MLG?
But you're right about "Awaken"! Saw the same tour in Vancouver (17 sept '77) and that song definitely was the highlight!!!
Eric, I saw the show in Nashville. During Awaken wasn't Jon playing a full sized harp? As tall as he is. Or am I dreaming? Thx.
Awaken is a KICK ASS song.
@@JunkYour925 Up there with And You and I and The Remembering
This is absolutely brilliant! Well done! I have always appreciated the work you have done with Yes footage.
Great job. I first saw Yes on this tour, at the Empire Pool Wembley. Thanks for stirring those fabulous memories.
Awesomeness🍄Had the album in '77
The 2 Most Talented Bands EVER….
Zeppelin & Yes
Great Guitarist, Great Drummers, Great Bass Players(Keyboards, Organ, Synthesizer) & Superb Drummers
Amazing performance.
I saw them in the round at Nassau Coliseum on Long Is land. It was insanely good. They were 100% giving their A game. Left a lifelong impression on me....
YES!!!!!! Thank You For This Live Treat!!!!!
Thank you! Please check out the full show on my channel, as well as other surprises
@@hedgilboavideos Oh goody! I will! Thanks! 💋
Caught this live at Boston Garden in 1977. Highly enjoyable concert!
pitch perfect ending..brilliant
Saw this tour live in front of the biggest speakers I have ever seen before or since.
Music in perfection. CS bass and harmonies - is there anything better?
The 1101 Experiment Nope...
Many things as good, but nothing better. I love Fish Out Of Water as much as any Yes record, and a much more than a lot of them.
No nothing
'Fish...' is really an extraordinary record... So ambitious and beautiful!
Watched this straight off my iPhone speakers in the middle of a parking lot at like 1:30 am. Blew my fucking brain. So badass. Chris squire rules.
Rocking...Rolling!
Back when Bands could really play and sound engineers could really Erm...sound engineer! And I'm an old farty Punk who's not supposed to like this sort of stuff!!...Brilliant!
Glad you're not a cookie cutter punk snob like those in my area!
Brilliant!!!!! Thank you for posting!!!!
Great energy in this performance.
Great live band.
Love this ❤❤
Nicely done, love Chris Squires backgammon suit.
That's so bizarre ! I was just about to reply to a comment saying the same thing !
Jake T
Saw them on this tour '77. Ruined my world. Nothing else really compared after that...Will never forget CS and the suit.
Frank Huizar
What an experience it must've been to have seen them at that time. I just wish they would've put whatever differences they had aside and had done one more tour with Jon Anderson.
As opposed to Jon Anderson's pants, which look really goofy. Great performance by all of them though :)
WOW! To play this song live & to get it basically spot on with the studio version..forget about it! Thesed guys are beyond Amazing. Not many bands in any era of music had this much talent. Not to mention Jon's vocals. Had to be hard as shit to sing this song live. YES forever!!!!
It is reallly high
This just made my night❤️ love you YES
great song and album,the good old days,when bands made music
What a great band! Wow! Musicality on a very high level!
My fave Yes song... and with Hebrew subtitles. It doesn't get any better than this.
Discovered by a Turkish Muslim
Anyone listening in 2024??? RIP Chris Squire and Alan White. I just saw Jon Anderson last year and he sounds exactly the same as he did in the old days
❤ Chris ❤
One of the best songs ever!¡!!
Really good
Gotta love Chris playing that 8-string Rickenbacker bass! RIP Chris!
This is probably one of the last shows where CS played the 8 string Rick. In the same tour the luthier Eric Ranney gave him his 8 string builted with chris' specs and from that time I always saw squire with that bass.
@@Sadowsky1965 Yeah, Chris preferred the Ranney 8-stringer over the Ric because the Ranney allowed for individual intonation settings for each of the 8 strings. The Ric didn't have that capability with the stock bridge. So the Ric 8-stringer was either in tune down low on the neck or up high, but not both.
After listening to this over 100 times I just realised there are other instruments playing there as well as the bass.
Sick performance… tighter and hotter than the studio version! Fucking blisters!
WOW amazingly produced video!
Sincronização impecável de todos integrantes me dá arrepios e tristeza pois nunca mais haverá uma banda tão impecável como essa mas fico feliz de ter vivido para ver essa perfeição musical.
Very good job! Thanks. Saw this tour in Phoenix Az with Renaissance opening.
As Mr. HOWE has said "bravo the 70's"
I always hesitate to claim that YES is my favorite band ever. Not sure why.
spectacular!
Amazing
Very nicely done.
Immense performance.
Maestros..........
Maravilla de canción. Es lo mas perfecto que he escuchado en mi vida, técnica, composición, interpretación...son demasiadas cosas para expresarlas en un comentario. No me da miedo repetirme, maravilla e canción.
Chris Squire.
my favorite Bass player ever
The only member to play on EVERY album🤘😎
