@@pcraig1383 Exactly. So many modern (electric guitar & on) influences but often used to build music with classical sensibilities. Movements, moods, variations, recapitulations. Being a non-musician, I just learned about why the end of Roundabout sounds so "happy/hopeful/major" is something called the Picardy third, not unknown in modern music {Byrds, Beatles (of course)}, a few others. But it's a very olde technique (not from the 24th century ;-) It was cool to learn about it.
What can you say about Yes?.. Wicked vocal harmonies... Drums snipin' the pocket... Killer guitar riffs... A funky azz bass that's all over the place... ...and an organ that takes you to church whether you want to go or not...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊👊👊👊👊😬
I always loved Steve Howe, and Bill Bruford. And listening to this just now, I'm kind of amazed at Jon Anderson's vocals. But this is Chris Squire's song, with one of the most iconic bass lines in rock history. Killed it. Iconic. RIP.
I guess one of the perks of being old as dirt is my memories of amazing concerts. Summer 1971 I went to a day long music festival in Toronto that featured Black Sabbath, Three Dog Night, Joe Cocker, Humble Pie and .........Yes! All were fantastic, but Yes? They were incredible!
@@TBSinc York Stadium? I'll bet you were also at Varsity Stadium's 2 day festival, summer 1969 and probably CNE stadium - Festival Express 1971....as well as all the free High Park concerts and Rock Hill Park. Also so many amazing Massey Hall concerts. I seemed to spend a lot of time going to concerts and it was worth it to have all those wonderful memories. -Cheers from Peterborough.
@@CharCanuck14 Varsity. I was at Ryerson so I would stay with a school chum and catch shows and concerts. CNE for big tours as well as Maple Leaf Gardens in the 60's. My " I might be old but I saw all the great bands live" T-shirt is for real. You're in Peterborough, did you get to th Oshawa Pavillon or the Key To Bala?
@@TBSinc I spent my first 25 years in Toronto so everything was at my doorstep. What about the Yonge Street bars? Loads of good bands there like Max Webster/Kim Mitchell at the Gasworks, Rush at the Colonial Tavern.....I could go on and on 🙂. The Gardens was great too. Saw ELO, Boston, Billy Joel, Jackson Brown, The Kinks.....fantastic. The t-shirt? What a great idea...love it!
@@CharCanuck14 Some college buddies and I tried a pub crawl at the Colonial and head up Yonge. Never made it past Le Coc' Dor. In high school it was Yorkville to hang out. The Riverboat was not licensed so I got to see Joni Mitchell, Sonny Terry & Brownie Mcgee and others. The cover was ONE Dollar. Unfortunately Lightfoot wasn't there any time I went. I hung out at Ronnie Hawkin's spot above the Derby. (I still owe him $20.) Stompin Tom Was often up town. I got the t-shirt a year ago through Amazon.
YES created music like no one had ever heard before. It's completely unique within the musical universe. They borrowed from jazz, R&B, Broadway tunes, Classical, you name it. Just amazing that 50 years after they created their masterpieces, young people are STILL getting blown away by this amazingly creative and appealing music . . . IF you have the attention span... :)
I first heard this song when i just entered HS in 1972 and to this day when that bass line starts it still blows me away. There are probably 10,000 bass players who can play that lick, but NOBODY sounds like Squire..Ive heard some come close but Squire just had something special that cant be quantified.
i spent a v happy couple of hours on his last tour standing on Chris 's side under his bass monitor hands on the stage , marvelling , with my darling wife , It was magical
I have wept (tears of joy), many times over these past few years, seeing new people introduced to "Yes" and other groups that made up the soundtrack of my life. Thanks Chod & Dee! ✌😊
Indeed Ben!!,..these young people,..calling it new music to boot!!,.. huh, yeah new for ya'll,..40, 50 years plus for us that heard it for the first time all those years ago,..and some of us even younger than them when we first heard it,..it's incredible, what's old is new again,..invigorates me to see this music's revival ,if you will,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
YES!!! Welcome to the Rabbit Hole, Dee. This was the multi-track studio version, but I've seen these 5 amazing guys do all this live and never miss a step; throw in some variations, too.
Close to the edge greatest prog rock song all time IMO but roundabout amazing just overplayed Gates of Delirium, Awaken, and honestly anything off their 71-75 era is incredible
Ahhhhh !!! the music of my youth! my older brother lennie always told me that we'd still be listening to this kind of music when we get old ? i'll be damned if he wasn't right ! i miss you bro and of course you were RIGHT ! thanks you 2 for jammin it
One thing we've lost since we stopped using vinyl is the album artwork. My brothers airbrushed the whole inner sleeve artwork of "Close to the edge" on the entire wall in my bedroom. If you haven't seen Roger deans work you should check it out. I could see the smile slowly appearing on her face as the song unfolded. Great stuff dude.
Love that they played this at their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Chris Squire unfortunately had passed by then but Geddy Lee killed that bass slappin in his place :-)
I feel exactly the same. At the time they made this seem impossibly easy and was so polished and well-rehearsed. Now it seems like a dream because they were literally the only band that did what they did. They raised the prog rock bar with superior musicianship and amazing compositional skills.Now I am more and more amazed that they could not only write like this but took it around the world many times. YES was a one time phenomenon.
It is wonderful to see young people discovering Yes. I’ve always thought the music is timeless but did not expect to see so many videos line this that seem to prove it. The icing on top is knowing how much incredible music by Yes, its successive incarnations, and all its spin-offs, lies ahead of new fans.
Love your smile as they go into the verse. I saw them several times live back in the 80's. I was lucky enough to have a guitar teacher who taught me to play from Yes, Genesis and Steely Dan music. Some of the best music ever written, performed and recorded.
Yes is one of the most amazing bands that I had the great fortune to see in this life.As a teenager of the early 70s,I witnessed the greatest musicians of Progressive Rock.Truly a lost art in today’s time.I am glad you two are exploring the bands of this time.
I still think...ELO......Yes......and Doobie Brothers are going to be Dee's favorite bands.......😁Because she gonna get it...she thinks in spiritual ways.....I think she gonna like them.
A band loaded with astounding talent... vocals, musicianship, timing... unmatched, and Chris Squire's bass playing here is innovative and off the charts!
The band is in my top five, maybe top ten. Great song. Great voice. Great bass (probably the most iconic baseline in rock). Great great GREAT drumming.
I was a teenager when this came out. It became an absolute summer ANTHEM! I saw Yes in concert. Jon Anderson sings live exactly like he does on the albums. An unreal concert. The 3rd tune was Heart of the Sunrise. They got a 5 min standing ovation. 3 songs in.
Nice to see somebody appreciate this type of art! I've seen them a few times in concert, they've always been one of my favorite bands. A group of top-notch musicians!
Another really terrific, more modern piece of music is from their album, "The Ladder." The song is "Homeworld," and there's a great live video on UA-cam. This song features guitarist Billy Sherwood, playing along with long-time Yes guitarist, the amazing Steve Howe. Billy was a long time collaborator with Yes and especially Chris Squire. When Chris learned that his cancer was terminal, he asked for Billy to take his place on bass and bass-pedals, and Billy's been with Yes ever since. This is a really amazing song, and in fact, the album is one of my favorites.
You just put me in the way back machine, and I loved it. Thank you for this selection and your reaction. This song is from the early days of falling in love and getting married for me and my husband. Still together, in love, and listening to great music together.
When She said it Started out one Way , then They Changed it!! She Discribed the Entire Song!! 🤣 But You Youngsters see Now why Groups Like ZEPPELIN, & Pink Floyd Had to Be as PHONOMINAL as they Were! They Had YES Right there Making Equally Great Music 🎶!! Real Music 🎼! Miss the Old days Sometimes!! Thanks for This! 😊
Hey Chod & Dee, there’s really too much about Yes, to put down here. But I’ll try. Lol Each musician is a brilliant artist, who in their own right, are pioneers of their instruments as well as progressive rock. Volumes have been written about each and each are worthy of a deeper look. Having said that, imagine hearing them, ELP, Steely Dan, Floyd, Bowie, Zeppelin, The Who,Purple, Sabbath, Tull, Trower, Hendrix, Clapton, The Stones,The Allman Bros. and dozens more in heavy radio rotation every day as a preteen and teen. It still boggles the mind, how great this era was for music, and the imagination. It’s cool watching you both experience this, just the way we did a million years ago. Lol The only difference between now and then was, we bought a ticket and saw them all live. Love the channel, regards too you both.
Watching Dee’s eyes get wide open when the band kicks in all together says it all, Chod! I never get tired of peoples’ reaction to hearing Yes for the first time - her initial look of awe and wonder is something I can watch over and over!
So loved the look on her face,..you had no idea where it was going with that kinda classical Spanish guitar intro,..you have no idea darlin, there was so much experimentation going on back then,.ELP(Emerson Lake Palmer),..Stevie Wonder, Brothers Johnson, , brilliant acts, musicians, Pink Floyd,(the musiciansfrom Hee Haw were impeccable), just pushing music so far, jazz, rock, country, funk, fusion, everything and the kitchen sink!,..I'm so very grateful for the God given excellence of talent,..so glad there works are still here for you, and God willing the generation,..do pass it on,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
Started first really enjoying them summer of 76....WOW! Genesis, Tull, GG, Allman Bros, Hendrix, Captain Beyond, Zep, Kansas, Music was so awesome then!
They're so fantastic in concert, late 80's in Cedar Rapids Iowa, in fact, the back up band didn't show up so they played the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he's fighting a bull, lmao, huge ass screen to show it and people were cheering and having a great time
I first heard Roundabout around 1972 and loved it right away! Another great song by Yes is Tempus Fugit. The video version is fun to watch because you get to see the band come up with their amazing sounds. I recommend watching it.
I saw Yes twice in the 1970s in Detroit. Once, their stage backdrop and props were designed by Roger Dean, the artist who did many of their early album covers. The other time I saw them in the round on a revolving stage. Both outstanding shows. Peace.
Loved watching your reactions to this epic pieice of musicianship from a band I was lucky to see live a few times in the 70's. My first experience was a concert an hour from my home, with YES listed as the opening act for Jethro Tull and B;ack Sabbath ! Ten minutes before the concert start time, an announcer said that Ozzy had lost his voice and Black Sabbath wound not perform. We were given the chance to get our money back, but had to leave before the music started. I had never heard of YES, and was aware of TULL but not very favilier with thier music. We decided to stay and it was a life-changing moment in my life. YES was on this tour to intorduce thier Roundabout album and TULL had just released Aqualung. They were both amazing ! Keep up the wonderful work !
I remember reading about two bands that had just been signed by Atlantic records in 1968 or so. Led Zeppelin and Yes. It was the entertainment part of a newspaper or a magazine. They talked about each band wished them good luck.
This is simply a masterpiece by a group of absolute virtuosos. Each of these guys is one-of-a-kind in their field. Chris Squire is arguably the best bass player of all time. Steve Howe is a guitar innovator. Rick Wakeman made career of building whole worlds around his keyboard playing (check out "The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table"). The drums and percussion of Bill Buford take the recording to another level. And then there is that voice...the incredible Jon Anderson. We will never hear the likes of this again...so I'll just keep playing this. ;-) Love your reactions to this timeless music. It does guys like me some good watching you discover music we've loved for decades. Keep 'em coming.
Technically keyboards are a form of percussion, the keys move hammers that hit strings in a piano. That opening sound is a piano chord that was played, recorded and then they played the tape backwards. My favorite Yes song is 'Your Move' from 'I've Seen All Good People'.
Play more Yes for her. Since she likes the acoustical intro do "And You and I" from the Close To The Edge album. And ramp it up next to "Starship Trooper" from original 'The Yes Album' studio album. If you haven't heard the original studio version yet definitely both of you do that one. You'll enjoy it. ✌😎
Great cruisin' song, spent many nights cruisin' around the S.F. Bay Area back in the 70's blasting this song out through my Jensen 6 X 9 coaxial speakers! lol
This band was one of Rush's biggest influences. As a matter of fact Rush introduced them to the rock n toll hall of fame and Geddy Lee the vocalist/bassist/keyboardist for Rush played bass on this song that night with them at the hall of fame.
Dee.... You got the beat all the way through! I saw the smile and the head bob. I "Celebrate" you this morning on my walk here in Portugal. Chod, the acoustic that she liked so much... Maybe it's time for some Crosby Stills Nash and Young? Or more America?
I heard that virtuoso keyboard player before any Yes fan as Rick Wakeman used to play the organ in our daily Christian assemblies at my school in West London.
Ultra Classic and I love everything about it but yeah I love that face but I also really loved the really funky parts. Just so tasty his decisions and use of space on that bass line in those parts.
Best bassline ever! R.I.P. Chris Squire
Rock In Paradise
"I feel like I listened to four different songs, and none of them were the same."
Welcome to '70s Progressive Rock, Dee!
Not unlike classical music!

It's also important to point out that he's:
Singing beautiful harmonies
Higher than Jon!
While also shredding the bass

Couldn't wipe the smile off Chod's face! PRICELESS. Dee being excited about her first intro to YES! Amaziing!
This bass line is its own masterpiece
Progressive Rock at its finest!!! Another great one to introduce Dee to is Emerson Lake and Palmer.

Aren't these guys GREAT. DIG THAT BASS 🔊 LIKE WE USED TO SAY TURN IT UP. GLAD YOU LIKED OLD FOLKS MUSIC 🎶 🎵 😆
Not "old folks music!" It's TIMELESS. Sickest bass ever!
When I first heard this song in the 70s, I'm thinking listen to that clavinet! Much to my surprise it was Chris Squire grinding that bass!
@@bethmiller1840 Saw them probably ten times from '76-'90. Squire was superb live.

YES!!! Welcome to the Rabbit Hole, Dee. This was the multi-track studio version, but I've seen these 5 amazing guys do all this live and never miss a step; throw in some variations, too.
Seen Yes in concert live in the 70s. Roundabout is one of my top 10 all time favorite songs. Enjoy 😉

The icing on top is knowing how much incredible music by Yes, its successive incarnations, and all its spin-offs, lies ahead of new fans.
Bruford's snare sound on this is unbeatable
That may be the most animated I've seen Dee...and I mean through the entire piece. Looked like she was into it the whole way. I love that!
That smile when they get to the interlude - cause you know what’s coming! Best rock song ever, IMO.
exactly! Turn the cape wearing maestro loose.
Just love these good old songs! Dancing in my chair.

Musical mastery from the whole band. It doesn't get better 'til you deep-dive into the catalogue. Enjoy, bon voyage.

I was at a concert of YES in St. Louis too! OMG, what a treat. Blew me away.
Keil Auditorium. Saw them there a few times. Topo and Relayer tours
This band is just on their own. So good so elastic! Each one is a virtuoso onto themselves! Killer
I've been drumming all my life, I seen you smile as soon as the first snare hit, that's awesome!!!
Started first really enjoying them summer of 76....WOW! Genesis, Tull, GG, Allman Bros, Hendrix, Captain Beyond, Zep, Kansas, Music was so awesome then!
Another journey on the Yes machine - brilliant
214 YES shows costing thousands of dollars. The smile on Chod's face during this video-priceless!😎
I saw them three times in concert, and all that I can say is, “AMAZING”!!
They're so fantastic in concert, late 80's in Cedar Rapids Iowa, in fact, the back up band didn't show up so they played the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he's fighting a bull, lmao, huge ass screen to show it and people were cheering and having a great time
YES....you gave her some YES. I just can't imagine how she's gonna react to Close to the Edge.
Fantastic!!
My first concert was Yes with a backup band called Gentle Giant. Great concert. Great reaction kids. God Bless.

My favorite Yes song is 'Your Move' from 'I've Seen All Good People'.
I've been a Yes fan since about 1979ish. Still love'm
The first time I heard this song i was blown away by their talent and sound. Been a huge fan for years .
YES is full of many great ones,even the 80s songs as well
Play more Yes for her. Since she likes the acoustical intro do "And You and I" from the Close To The Edge album. And ramp it up next to "Starship Trooper" from original 'The Yes Album' studio album. If you haven't heard the original studio version yet definitely both of you do that one. You'll enjoy it. ✌😎
You must eventually progress to the song "Close to the Edge". Take her to church!
One of my favorite songs of all time!
Great cruisin' song, spent many nights cruisin' around the S.F. Bay Area back in the 70's blasting this song out through my Jensen 6 X 9 coaxial speakers! lol
R.I.P. Mr Squire. Chris you are SO missed my friend. ⚘⚘⚘
This band was one of Rush's biggest influences. As a matter of fact Rush introduced them to the rock n toll hall of fame and Geddy Lee the vocalist/bassist/keyboardist for Rush played bass on this song that night with them at the hall of fame.
That smile of yours! ❤You have discovered the best band indeed. Good you let your wife listen to it, as it's love song actually. 🙂
I saw Yes play in New Orleans back in 94. They were amazing!
One of the sickest bass lines in rock ever!
The ultimate original prog rock YES! I was in high school when this came out. It has affected me ever since.
one of the most infectious basslines ever RIP Chris
A band made for headphones
Dee.... You got the beat all the way through! I saw the smile and the head bob. I "Celebrate" you this morning on my walk here in Portugal. Chod, the acoustic that she liked so much... Maybe it's time for some Crosby Stills Nash and Young?
Or more America?
This is one if my all time favourite songs!
I remember hearing this for the first time on really good speakers, really loud, while being...in an altered state! Ah, good times....😄
I'm hooked. I can't go a day without watching you guys. So ya better keep making more ;)
this is the way music should be played ty for your reaction!!!!! mr wilburn your face says it all lol!!!
I heard that virtuoso keyboard player before any Yes fan as Rick Wakeman used to play the organ in our daily Christian assemblies at my school in West London.
The Great Bill Bruford.Damn what a drummer.
Ultra Classic and I love everything about it but yeah I love that face but I also really loved the really funky parts. Just so tasty his decisions and use of space on that bass line in those parts.
Great song! Your wife has the best reactions to songs! I like to see how she reacts to songs.
