    For me the music of YES is a music from another galaxy. I am 65 years old and I discovered this music at the age of 17 with the album Yessongs which for me is the greatest live album of all time where the band was at its best. It was the shock of my musical life and I never left them except now because for me the Yes without Jon nor Alan nor Chris does not resemble any more the true Yes at most a tribute band. These guys were true geniuses and will remain so because their music is totally timeless. Never has a band in rock (except maybe Pink Floyd) reached such a degree of creativity.

    The entire Close to the Edge album is nothing short of astounding. This is still one of my must have albums. The creativity is off the charts and to think the album was created before most of the bells and whistles that would be necessay today to do the same thing. Rick Wakeman (keys) and Bill Bruford (original drummer on the album) still talk of the album as their favorite Yes album. Alan White (RIP) joined Yes right after the album came out and had only 3 days to learn this and the Fragile album before hitting the road! Chris Squire (RIP) was absolutely a monster bass player who influenced many of todays best bass players. Jon Anderson is one of the most creatively original performers even to this day with his naturally higher pitched voice which still unique and angelic. Wakeman (keys) was voted only #2 behind his dear friend Keith Emerson, but in my opinion is on equal standing. Wakeman also could have been a wildly successful comedian (very funny guy) and he is still prolific in composition and performance. I remember seeing Yes live for the Close to the Edge tour and Wakeman had a sequened cape that looked like molten lava with the lights on it. And I believe he was the first to tour with so many keyboards at his finger tips Steve Howe is a classically trained player who brought so much to the table with his original style and ideas. Yes, who brought so much to the field of rock music, is one of the originators of Progressive Rock.. Wow. Yes!!!

    Great clip, great song, great reaction. Having seen them live many times, I can say Chris’ bass is usually a little higher in the mix, which improves any song dramatically.

      Believe it or not as good as every member is in the band it is hard for all of them to share the spotlight equally all the time since they are all so fantastic and most great songs feature different musicians more than others.
      And I'm sure if the song they were doing was something like heart of the sunrise or roundabout which really features Chris squire they would show him constantly just like they do in songs that features Rick wakeman or songs that feature the drummer so I highly doubt they mean to dog on Chris squire it's just that they have to show who is being featured in the song. Besides they did show Chris squire a little bit.

    Do yourself a huge favor. Go back and re-listen to this and this time focus on the stunningly brilliant bass playing from the late Chris Squire. Indeed, the guitar and keyboards are fantastic, and so is Chris's bass. Yes is the very best Progressive Rock band ever, especially in this configuration. Steve Howe was Guitar Player magazine's Guitarist of the Year, 5 years in a row. Rick Wakeman is considered one the greatest rock keyboardist's along with the phenomenal Keith Emerson, of ELP. Chris Squire is acknowledged as an absolute Master of the Bass. What he does is so very different than what anyone else does. Listen to 'The Fish', which is all bass except for the opening notes by Steve. Then listen to 'Heart of the Sunrise', and see just how incredible Chris's playing is. You've just started with Yes, and you are in for one musical adventure after another.

The main thyme is a wave of overlapping rhythms cycling to provide their trademark vortex of sound that is always simply hypnotizing. Then there is the FUNKY section which is probably one of most grooviest they've been to that point. Though it charges forward there' are many incredibly gorgeous fluid changes and different parts that senses you off in unexpected and surprising directions. the "River running right on over and out of my head" section just does exactly that to my head every time!

    Beautiful music, great performance from Steve Howe - Guitar
    Chris Squire - Bass, Rick Wakeman - Keyboards and of course the irreplaceable vocalist, leader of the group YES Jon Anderson! Despite many line-up changes, temporary breakups and constant changes in music, this band has been around for over 50 years and still retains a huge number of its listeners around the world. Yes's music is characterized by sharp dynamic contrasts, extended song lengths and the highest performing skills of all members of the group. Yes often uses symphonic and other so-called "classical" musical structures, mixes different styles, incorporates various innovations into their compositions and creates extremely bright and full of ideas music as a result.

    you picked a great song that as you said, shows off their creatively. I can imagine them writing ànd arranging it.... Steve Howe shows up with this neat little guitar lick and then they build this whole piece of music with essentially a simple guitar lick at its core. There weren't too many bands that could do it. Throughout the song everyone is playing something different. The bass player is off doing his thing, the keyboard player has his own unique chords he's playing while Howe just keeps repeating that little lick, and they. make it work. Those guys were loaded with talent and creativity. When I hear some of these yes pieces I ask myself, how do they even conceive of these songs?

    For me, Chris Squire is the star of this tune and the band in general. Steve is doing his Steve thing in his amazing style and Rick is mesmerizing …. Alan is phenomenal and still playing up to speed at this point… Jon is my favorite singer of all time, but without Chris’s bass and backing vocals, this song (and this band) would fall apart. Not sure why cameramen always ignore bass players and engineers alway mix the bass so low. Seeing them live brings out the genius of Chris. RIP Chris Squire ! Rip Alan White !

      Chris Squire is in great company with all the other ignored great bassist. But yeah he was amazing backbone of everything.

    This was the magic lineup! White is not Buford but he didn’t quit Yes and he provided very respectable backbone to everything from “Tales…” to today! Nothing compares to Yes live!

    Rick Wakeman - classically trained (the full monty, at the Guildhall, serious chops), chose to go to popular music, session musician along with the likes of Jimmy Page in London. Played on a lot of Elton John songs, including Your Song. Joined The Strawbs, left and joined Yes. Show him a keyboard, any keyboard, and he can play it. He played the church organ on a number of their songs, and would play it in their live performances, if one was available. I can attest to that. Had a weak heart, so living the rock star life, had a heart attack in his twenties, but that didn't really put him down for long. One of the best bands I've ever seen live. They were just so good. Saw them with Bruford and Moratz as well as White and Wakeman.

    The lack of video showing Chris, in this video, is shocking. I watch a who video expecting not to see Entwistle. I also feel as though the keyboard is mixed a little high compared to the bass. Anyone who has seen yes live knows its hard not to see and hear Chris!

      You can hear the thud and glide but it’s way too lost here. And you never see him! Often happens sadly. He’s the heart of the band and a proper showman. Or was RIP

    I'm a Yes completist but never bought this Montreux show as for the complete ignoring about Chris Squire, the band's soul, through the whole concert footage (not only on this song). Probably someone was in charge to film him, but must have some problem. Too bad.

      Band Geek versions of almost anything are brilliant. Multiply by ten for Yes. Pity Ann Marie won’t be on tour with them for the Yes Epics. And A pity they probably won’t come to the UK. Hope they video at least one show.

    I first saw Yes in 1978, and the only real differences are their ages and they all had much longer hair back then. They sounded just as good in this video as they did then.

    So refreshing to see younger people actually appreciate this musical mastery. Only Emerson, Lake, and Palmer are in the same conversation when examining pure musicianship and brilliance. (Only 3 members) ELP and YES. The true titans.

    IMO Yes is one one of the best bands of all time. They are so masterful at taking different time signatures and completely different parts and weaving them into a perfectly executed seamless, work of art that sounds like it belonged together before it was ever written. Each song is an endless journey of joyful discovery at every level from the sound of each instrument, to the virtuoso playing, to the crafting of each part, to the way the parts fit together, to the final whole piece of art that leaves you stunned!

  • @ericmalone3213

    Many ("prog") rock keyboard players play two keyboards at the time time & have racks of multiple keyboards on their set up, because they're using analog synths that are specifically programmed, so they combine different programmings for different songs, often playing two keyboards at once in different registers, as they don't have the time to re-program a synth between songs, & want to combine the textures of two differently programmed keyboards. It's pretty common.
