I met Steve Howe in a guitar shop in Denmark street in 1994. He was buying strings. I said Hi and he started talking about getting a guitar repaired - he asked if I knew Turn of the Century and I said "of course" and told me it was the guitar he used on it. He then said "cheerio" and got into a Landrover Discovery driven by a minder and sped off up Charing Cross Rd at great speed. I was alone and thought no one is going to believe this. A true gent.
I’ve met a couple musicians while at shows as they just wandered amongst the crowd. Carlos Santana and Michael Hedges. So I absolutely believe your story.
I don't think Squire is stoned, I think he just has that very slow way of talking. :D Fish out of Water is one of my favorite albums, especially as a bass player. Squire is one of the greatest bassists of all time, no question.
They did quite a lot of the old smoking of pot back in the day! I am under the impression that it was only when not working though! They were disciplined in that way!
@@David-iv6je Just saw your comment Made me Google Chris's age I'm his age now Made me put my cigarette out in my mind I would consider him sir Chris squire for his music with yes and solo album He's in my heart and soul I was fortunate to see him and them for quite a few of their tours relayer Roosevelt raceway New Jersey outdoors Great show The laser was seen in New York Madison square garden New York in the round stage was in the middle rotated as they played that was a one-of-a-kind show I believe they played eight nights I went to every show also the 35th anniversary tour in New Jersey The venue was PNC Bank I think.also an outdoor show that was a treat because Rick wakeman had returned I had concert shirts pictures as you can tell I was a fan still have the tickets stubs Roger Dean his artwork coincided with their musical genius to create the yes family tree of musicians got to see Bill Buford with Genesis trick of the tale tour wow what memories thank you for your comment Make me relive All the great experiences with his music now and generations to come My son even used to call them the yeses
The interviewer is Bob Harris, regular presenter of The Old Grey Whistle Test, also fondly known as "Whispering Bob" because of his soft voice - nobody did it quite like him. He was a contemporary of John Peel and responsible for airing a lot of the less mainstream or up and coming bands. I guess their place has been taken these days by Jools Holland. I remember watching Steve Howe on this programme in the seventies when I fancied myself as a classical/ prog rock guitarist. We can all dream!
I love you for postng this, im 49 and i think you can hold up any music from the sixties and seventies to todays sad manufactured/selfobsessed music and think, how lucky i was to be in the time of Great bands like Yes,.,.,.,.,
That's always great to hear from the MASTERS , talking 'bout their creation scene They are the best. I listen, at least, one song by YES everyday Of course , I try to play some of them Those moments are funny.. Playing YES is a great lesson for any instrumentist and mainly for a good vocalist. Good luck and have fun on YES.
they were both so gifted around that time and made some amazing music. Perhapd a little self indulgent at times but, more often than not .musical genius's And its taken me about 46 years to fully appreciate some of it.
Two of the very best musicians that I've had the pleasure to hear and see play. Chris Squire is one of those bass players (like Jack Bruce) that I will actually focus on during shows. That is, until Mr. Howe takes us one of his journeys...
As a 56 yr old YES fan, I still love YES in all its previous incarnations up to the current "Fly From Here" and Jon Anderson's recent solo work too. Plus "Squackett" too! Thanks for posting this...cool!
Patrick Moraz is a great great keyboard player I don´t know why they think of him like he was beginner. there`s no place for comparations with Wakeman I think both are great players
Just amazing musicians RIP Chris. An inspiration to so many and gone way too soon. This was a cool video. Too bad the Fish Out of Water video pieces were not in it. Great stuff.
if you listen to other interviews chris gave, even decades later, it's pretty obvious that chris just has that slow, measured manner of talking and isn't stoned at all. he's rather like steve winwood that way--the kind of guy who prefers to let the music speak for itself. what a fascinating interview for a great album! miss you always, chris.
+rockisheaven He spoke slowly, but thought quickly. Chris Squire, like his fellow Yes bandmates and so many other musicians of that era, were very talented men given about as much artistic freedom as could be afforded by their record labels. Wish I'd been around to experience it, though I did get to see Chris Squire play live once though; the sound he conjured from his bass was astonishingly powerful.
Yeah he's baked alright LOL. Great bassist. It was so much more interesting it seems, when the guys could go on and on about " we had a break in touring, and that is when I conceived my album, and defined the arrangements etc etc", and people actually cared. I do have to say that the Howe piece was pretty bad. How many times was that thing supposed to end?
Coye and Fish, I agree with you. Taking nothing away from Keith, I like him, this is mind boggling. I am a massive Steve fan and he deserves so much more recognition. He is on of the greatest musicians gracing this world. For me he is the maestro!
Chris AIN'T stoned! Yes didn't really do that stuff! He's just smokin' a regular cig! (And it's NOT a 'jazz cigarette', either! ) lol Thanks, Dreamer3355 for this upload! RIP Chris Squire - the world lost a maestro... 😔
Absolutely love Yes…have many of their cds…I believe everything they put out through Relayer..I also have Chris’ solo album Fish out of water…damn good album, I just listened to it in my car just couple weeks ago…greatly saddened me when he passed away few years ago…one of the greatest bassists of all time, every single member of Yes such talented musicians including line ups that didn’t include Wakeman and Bruford..the line up that includes those two is the best/classic imo
rip Chris Squier ~ Christopher "Chris" Russell Edward Squire was an English musician, songwriter and singer, best known as the bass guitarist and backing vocalist for the progressive rock band Yes.

Just thought you should be informed that Chris's passing is officially recorded on 27th June 2015, perhaps you just made a typing error, happens to the best of us! Love and respect for Chris always , he will be grately missed and always remembered.
i know what you mean. i remember in the 80's it was frustrating looking at guitar magazines and seeing Angus Young getting best rock guitarist for several years and people like Steve Howe and Alex Lifeson weren't recognized. don't get me wrong...Angus is good in his own right, though i'm not a huge AC/DC fan, but i really think the others should've gotten more credit and recognition than they did. i'm speaking more from a musicianship standpoint because i'm a musician myself.
Greg Woodie You just listed my top two Lifeson and Howe. I've said the same thing. So I realized the list was bullshit which is why I'm glad Alex mocked it with the "blah blah blah" thing.
That's a great indorsement, but Page and Howe were completely different players, apples to oranges where did you read or hear. Are you sure or just made that up because those are your two favorite guitarist? They're mine too!
You're right, Billy, Page and Howe are so drastically different it is illogical to compare them in a "who better" contest. I love them both very much. Not very many guitarists can sit on thrones next theirs!
Steve thinks his shit dont stink. I was excited to meet him if it wasn’t for little Yesfreaks that bought all their 70s records they wouldn’t be touring gotta pay mortgage on those giant English castles they own
Anybody else notice how "Squire-like" the bass playing on "Break Away From It All" sounds? Apparently Steve played bass on that track. So either Steve got really good at playing bass like Chris or Chris played on it and didn't get credit for it, or didn't want the credit. Either way, it sounds like Chris's style.
Great to see "Beginnings" played live, in a slightly different version than the studio one, as Patrick plays all the orchestral parts on the harpsichord.
Ram and HOYH/YBMS have been available around youtube for a while in really bad quality, but this is fantastic Dreamer3355. Is it from the new BluRay extras? I actually got home late at the age of fourteen desperate to see this episode of OGWT, and only caught the end of the programme. It was never repeated, so I have literally waited 36 years to see this. Imagine my delight :-)
unusual to have bass as lead instrument. Patrick Moraz did an excellent job with the eerie backdrop keyboarding.-referring to Fish Out of Water. I miss my album, I misplaced it, got it German import from amazon in 2000. in the States you can't just go pick this stuff up at department stores. Impossible! I also got Steve's solo, but missing that too. would be great mideval backdrop for a play with Steve's lute-like playing and Moraz' harpsichord as for Steve Howe's solo. I can't even remember the name of Steve Howe's tracks, lost the album nearly ten years ago love the last track most of all, funky as Hell!
well, let us say one of the best, I easily can name another 10, on at least the same level, but it is the best album Yes never made.Strangely enough, Moraz played on this one, just like on "Relayer" wich remains my all-time fave Yes-album
I have a signed yes "Close the the Edge album" with everyone but sadly Chris squire is not on it. That was when Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe did that one off. They had to cancel the show it was in Dallas but signed records and took pictures at a record store in the 90's. It yours for $200 any takers let me know, The album is in a protective cover, mint condition I've enjoyed it but I have no kids, if no buyers I'll pass it to my nephew when he's older. It could be yours.
I'm glad Steve decided to get with Patrick -plus a sound engineer... and at least 3 cameras it seems- and record that version of Beginnings... a time and place (somewhere in the Baroque era!) never revisitable again. He was looking for a good copy of the recording a few years back, if the original film wasn't discovered the best copy prob came from this OGWT program.
Chris Squire always seems a nice guy but from this vid it looks like he was the clothes/hair inspiration for the Michael McKean character in Spinal Tap. ;-)
Wakeman included. Anderson and White were the northeners, of course, the first one being an almost-Mancunian from industrualised Lancashire, the latter being an almost-Novocastrian, who actually never had a true Durham-Geordie accent, honestly, don't know how...
Steve is obviously more comfortable and perhaps, articulate; whereas Chris, with measured thought, and a tad of nerves (possibly spoilt by herbal influences), prevented him from opening up. Perhaps he wanted to swear a bit....anyway, enough of that; both brilliant musicians, who's contributions to modern music, will live on.........
Both Squire and Howe like to talk about how much they enjoyed working with Moraz and how he was such an important part of their solo projects but as soon as Yes made a deal with Wakeman to return to the band, they dropped him like a hot potato never to have anything to do with him again. Pretty cynical if you ask me.
Bill Bruford worked with him on his Music for Piano and Drums (brilliant btw) and he worked with Moraz on Flags. Interviews from other musicians who worked with Moraz say his very difficult to work with, to the point of frustration. So that's probably why he wasn't asked back.
Their ability to memorize such absolute garbage ( but sometimes really great stuff with Yes) was really a big part of these guys success. Convincing performances with subpar material but really great performances with better material. ( this is the subpar material here )

I met Steve Howe in a guitar shop in Denmark street in 1994. He was buying strings. I said Hi and he started talking about getting a guitar repaired - he asked if I knew Turn of the Century and I said "of course" and told me it was the guitar he used on it. He then said "cheerio" and got into a Landrover Discovery driven by a minder and sped off up Charing Cross Rd at great speed. I was alone and thought no one is going to believe this. A true gent.
Actually met Steve Howe twice. Once with A B W H & once with ASIA. Got a picture with him first time we met.
I’ve met a couple musicians while at shows as they just wandered amongst the crowd. Carlos Santana and Michael Hedges. So I absolutely believe your story.
Nice , I would of hopped in the back with him !
PHENOMENAL STORY..I BELIEVE YOU..
I don't believe this.
I don't think Squire is stoned, I think he just has that very slow way of talking. :D
Fish out of Water is one of my favorite albums, especially as a bass player. Squire is one of the greatest bassists of all time, no question.
yea every interview you see him in hes like this. Hes just slow like you said at talking and getting his thoughts out
jeez its '75 ! everyone was high ! good weed back then wouldn't make you comatose like that 97% dab shit...Bob is high as shit !
They did quite a lot of the old smoking of pot back in the day! I am under the impression that it was only when not working though! They were disciplined in that way!
I agree. Squire and Howe talk slowly because they expect to be listened to and to listen to others rather than excitedly talk over each other.
As a player of the bass guitar for 28 years, I wholeheartedly agree!
The world is a darker place for his passing.
Rest in peace Chris and thanks for the music.
Sadly, nearly every clip I've ever seen of him he has a cigarette in hand. And he died from a blood cancer.

My Idol Chris Squire... R.I.P.
I'm a bassist in my 20's who grew up on Nirvana. I've loved yes for a long while, but this made me want to become classically trained.
Fish out of Water is a stunning album.
One of my favorite albums of all time!
@@nickavenoso7851 And mine.
Chris was the heart and soul of Yes.
One of the best solo albums ever made.
What a smashing Gem to find and what a spanking top job Steve and Patrick did on Beginnings such class musicians at their best.
Hearing Steve's Track. I can picture him as an old Soul entertaining at a Kings Court back in the day. Very Baroque..
Quadrider50 That's something I've always said. I quite love that about his playing.
The Crimson King by any chance?
The Old Grey Whistle Test, The Midnight Special, and......Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. What wonderful ways to see bands.
That's always great to hear from the MASTERS , talking 'bout their creation
scene
They are the best.
I listen, at least, one song by YES everyday
Of course , I try to play some of them
Those moments are funny.. Playing YES is a great lesson for any instrumentist and mainly for a good vocalist.
Good luck and have fun on YES.
they were both so gifted around that time and made some amazing music. Perhapd a little self indulgent at times but, more often than not .musical genius's And its taken me about 46 years to fully appreciate some of it.
Their accents back then were so Cockney... rest in infinite peace, Chris, if there's anyone here who deserved it that was you. :-*

I'm about that age and I'm listening to Drama now more then ever.
49 years old ... still captivated and searching for more ...thx sooo much for publishing this
ah there is a god! Never thought I d see that wonderful film of steve playing beginnings ever again so a big thankyou from me for that.
this just made my day! videos like this are priceless to me...I love YES so much
Mistrzowie progrocka.Wspaniale było żyć w czasach takich muzyków.Dziekuje im z całego serca za muzykę.
WOW! what a rare gem this one is!!!
Patrick Moraz is a great great keyboard player I don´t know why they think of him like he was beginner. there`s no place for comparations with Wakeman I think both are great players
Patrick Moraz was VERY underrated, in my opinion...the solo toward the end of "Sound Chaser" is mind blowing!
Relayer 🎶🎹👍
@@markusantonio4866 That whole album is nothing short of a "Masterpiece/Masterwork"! 🖒😎🎸🎶🎵🎹🎤
Moraz played really well with the Moody Blues in the 80s 🎶💕
You are a spot on about Patrick. Well said
Cool guy... stunning bass player......... RIP
Two musicians who have inspired many kids who struggled with their little cheap basses and pawn shop guitars to play from records long into the night.
Just amazing musicians RIP Chris. An inspiration to so many and gone way too soon.
This was a cool video. Too bad the Fish Out of Water video pieces were not in it. Great stuff.

Nowhere near as slow as Peter Gabriel.

Awesome - Vivaldi would have been proud of Howe and Moraz going at it!
Good image and sound from these clips at last! Thank you Dreamer.
All these type of musicians would be successful no matter what they did. Listen to their accents..........clever young men
kelly You're right. They are the "Michaelangelo's" of rock music. They don't play for the money, it's just "in them"
Amazing , I really thank you this material , I haven't seen it with these quality , and with the Interviews , thanks a lot.
What an incredible year this was for Yes and related projects.
GRAND interview !!! Thank you !!!
If they're music . . . you'll hear music even in their speaking voice. They're music.

Better then .. IMHO.
God must have helped this band write and play their music .. no other explanation for them to be so good.
They were both my musical mentors
Back when Chris was still a child....... seems so.
I have the cd a few gems like this one and Australia, pleasure stole the night
Six personal fave guitarists: Chuck Berry, Hendrix, John McLaughlin, Howe, Steve Jones and Ricky Wilson
0:44 chris did the signature David Cross move, priceless
Great to see "Beginnings" played live, in a slightly different version than the studio one, as Patrick plays all the orchestral parts on the harpsichord.
Every musician interviewed on OGWT was so elegantly wasted!
Fish out of Water is a really interesting and musical album.
Somewhere I still have both these LPs, great stuff esp "Fish"
That is hysterical.. I was noticing the same thing.
This will go well with our upcoming Steve Howe interview...
Ram and HOYH/YBMS have been available around youtube for a while in really bad quality, but this is fantastic Dreamer3355. Is it from the new BluRay extras?
I actually got home late at the age of fourteen desperate to see this episode of OGWT, and only caught the end of the programme. It was never repeated, so I have literally waited 36 years to see this.
Imagine my delight :-)
There was nothing here ,now there is ???? thanks never saw this before.
The original working title for this piece was 'Lick My Love Pump'.
Chris seems so gentle and kind here, what happened?
unusual to have bass as lead instrument. Patrick Moraz did an excellent job with the eerie backdrop keyboarding.-referring to Fish Out of Water. I miss my album, I misplaced it, got it German import from amazon in 2000. in the States you can't just go pick this stuff up at department stores. Impossible!

I never liked Patrick Moraz in the early days let's say 74' but I've learned to appreciate his talents and contributions to music years hence.
he is out of the charts can´t be scored my friend
Squire and Howe!
54 years???
Wow! Too huge Prog Hitters!! Nice!!!
@moneysecrets4U Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool that Squire cited Paul Simon & Joni Mitchell as influences (though Joni is actually not American, but Canadian).
I have a signed yes "Close the the Edge album" with everyone but sadly Chris squire is not on it. That was when Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe did that one off. They had to cancel the show it was in Dallas but signed records and took pictures at a record store in the 90's. It yours for $200 any takers let me know, The album is in a protective cover, mint condition I've enjoyed it but I have no kids, if no buyers I'll pass it to my nephew when he's older. It could be yours.
I'm glad Steve decided to get with Patrick -plus a sound engineer... and at least 3 cameras it seems- and record that version of Beginnings... a time and place (somewhere in the Baroque era!) never revisitable again.
He was looking for a good copy of the recording a few years back, if the original film wasn't discovered the best copy prob came from this OGWT program.
Was harpsichord 1st with the reverse B&W keyboard?
Chris would have been about 27 years of age here. Give or take
Chris Squire always seems a nice guy but from this vid it looks like he was the clothes/hair inspiration for the Michael McKean character in Spinal Tap. ;-)
crazy i agree.
Wakeman included.
Anderson and White were the northeners, of course, the first one being an almost-Mancunian from industrualised Lancashire, the latter being an almost-Novocastrian, who actually never had a true Durham-Geordie accent, honestly, don't know how...
is that the Concorde at the end?
Is He Patrick Moraz??????????
Yep. Incredible musician. I was lucky enough to hear him play the El Macambo club in Toronto with Bill Bruford : )
Pat Moraz on keyboards!
With of course the amazing Patrick Moraz....
Chris Squire looks like Ford McKinley Tune . . . from quite a while ago.
Sonata for guitar and harpsichord. Been done before?
Steve is obviously more comfortable and perhaps, articulate; whereas Chris, with measured thought, and a tad of nerves (possibly spoilt by herbal influences), prevented him from opening up. Perhaps he wanted to swear a bit....anyway, enough of that; both brilliant musicians, who's contributions to modern music, will live on.........
I'm guessing you're spot on with the herbal influences here :) We miss Chris
he almost resembles Rick Wakeman in some ways! ;)
I like Kansas, but can't even be mentioned in the same sentence with Yes - no comparison.
Squire is god!
Can we talk about Bob Harris’s stoner cardigan lol.
I can smell the pot smoke on this video. My favorite band.
¿What's the name of the song at the end of the show?
Break Away From It All
Both Squire and Howe like to talk about how much they enjoyed working with Moraz and how he was such an important part of their solo projects but as soon as Yes made a deal with Wakeman to return to the band, they dropped him like a hot potato never to have anything to do with him again. Pretty cynical if you ask me.
Bill Bruford worked with him on his Music for Piano and Drums (brilliant btw) and he worked with Moraz on Flags. Interviews from other musicians who worked with Moraz say his very difficult to work with, to the point of frustration. So that's probably why he wasn't asked back.
