Most rock bands thought they were musicians, YES actually were very good musicians. Steve Howe was a genius on guitar. Chris Squire revolutionized the bass guitar as a solo instrument. Jon Anderson could actually sing very well and had incredible song writing poetic ability. Rick Wakeman was in his own class on keyboards, Bill Buford was very creative mixing jazz, rock rhythms and then some. To call YES a rock and roll band is like calling Rembrandt a painter. I was very blessed to grow up with their music and the perfection that it is. It never grows old because it is really so very good. The other thing about YES is that not only were their songs great they could actually perform them live extremely well, which was not the case for many groups and their music was 5 times more complicated. Still waiting for another group to come along that will rise to their level. I don't think it will happen.
Sadly it won't happen again because we will never see the context of the early 1970's rock environment (specifically 1971) YES were successful in many ways because they actually practiced their music ... according to history they could be called into studio by the BBC for a live show, be set up and ready to go with a tight set of music in about an hour ... unbelievable at the time
Well said
the climax to close to the edge just had me in tears. wow. un-fucking-real.
Agreed! :)
Christopher Turvey I hear you yes rules!
Me too, this record was my introduction to not only their older material from TYA but, also, I hadn't heard the studio versions of SK and CTTE before... I find them now to be sterile and a bit lifeless, while both of those on this album are simply bursting with energy
Saw them in Indy at the Armory a really small venue must have been 70 or 71, opening for Jethro Tull. I had never heard of YES. We were smoking hash waiting for Jethro Tull and YES came out a blew everyone away, been a dedicated fan ever since.
lol me when to crstail palsce to see linisfarne yes came on and did the 1st play of close to the edge be a fan ever since
I saw the same tour but in Seattle...Unforgettable !!!! ❤
Amazing ... brings back many memories of high school ... sadly, I didn't see YES live until 1974, but I played this record to death (still have it, scuffed cover and all)
Yes Mr.Gray i think you hit the nail right on the old head.I think Yes was Anderson,Squire and Howe everyone else just rotated thru the years and added they're own brilliance to the Yes sound
Version of The Fish / Schindleria Praematurus is one of the most intense pieces of music ever....Chris in absolute peak form
the last 40 minutes or so are about the best music gets
Howe's extended lead on "Yours is No Disgrace" just might be the best live guitar performance I've ever heard.
fact
It is legendary
It's epic. I don't do the GOAT thing but if I did steve would be on the short list
This remastered version includes so many nuances and notes I've not heard before. I've listened to this (vinyl) album so much that even the crowd noises are parts of the song! Best double-album ever!!
Have you heard any of the YES: Progeny sets from 1972, the CTTE tour...? Seven versions of YIND on those discs
I've loved this album for 40 years. Never gets old. Never! Yes has been my favorite band since and they never get old either. I'm a lucky and a very happy man. Couldn't have asked anything more in life than that.
Well Said,Sir..Peace & Blessings.
Lowell , you may be bigger than me but I'm the biggest YES fan. LOL! Anyway I saw them for the second time on this tour so hearing this album means so much to me but I do agree. You either feel YES or you don't. And if you do , it's something that words can't describe. We are very lucky to have been incarnated during their time and to have the YES gene in our DNA! It is something so special and specialized. A unique one of a kind moment in time!
@wiggensdesign I feel the same way. We couldn't have experienced a better time for music and most likely never will again. Blessed is what we are! Blessed by YES!
Lowell Hayenga i have tried listening to the other live Yes albums, but growing up with the album, these are the definitive versions of these songs!..just not the same on other albums..
tim moore No doubt about it! I agree.
The sound of this Yes concert performance always reminds me of the unforgettable experience I had in the 70's at JFK Stadium in Philidelphia. Was a Yes fan then and will always love and respect the musicianship and creativity of the perfect combination of talented individuals that of which is Yes. Love the nostalgic Roger Dean work as well!
Alan came in and crushed skulls quite handily...freaking amazing
Underrated comment. White does some incredible work here.
... and only three days to learn the YES repertoire ... that's what is freaking amazing to me!!
Just no other except yes. . .
Mr. Howe's solo on Yous Is No Disgrace is unparalleled.
This album was played over and over on one of those early record changers back in the day. I'd get really buzzed, put the headphones on (max) and felt like I was actually at the live show. Couple years later I saw them at MSG and I thought I was home listening with the headphones getting buzzed. Either way, it was easy to absorb they're music and shut the rest of world out. They were a few people I know that could get there. But most couldn't. They had a very unique and complicated sound and song,very talented as a group and solo artist. This 3 record 2 cd set to me is the best Live album EVER made. Zeppelin is a close second. Some bootleg Floyd is also up there. After that you could argue for a distant third.
+highspirit1 As a teenager back in the 70s, this album captivated me. Considering it was made over 40 years ago, it is technically brilliant, thanks to the brilliance of Eddie Offord on sliders and faders. No preprogrammed mods and expensive software. Just a mixing desk, Eddie and a spaghetti of cables.
I listened to this over and over. Yes...the best live album. Your's is no disgrace and Starship Trooper...wow...I miss the 70's.
Agree but the other groups for me were just an afterthought.
Perpetual Change is incredible on this album
This was when players Played....and it twas awesome...TY boys!
They really were on fire in '71 and '72
totally immersed....transported.....transcended...musical ingenuity....lyrical poeticism.....simply magical.....my favourite live album for decades....never fails to carry me away.....we have been fortunate to have this era in our souls
the good old days,when music was worth listening to.
110% agree
Ditto :)
Yes it is, have orgiinal of fhis record
RIP Chris Squire!!!
11:15 GREAT ,GIANT Chris Squire .I miss you , man .R.I.P.
Alex A. R.I.P. Chris So, So Great.
yours is no disgrace is insanely good !!!!
I was at the'73 concert...most amazing & memorable concert in my life. To this day just hearing it makes me grateful I was at THE best concert there's ever been.
A masterpiece of Progressive Rock,
If your not sure what to listen to and you love Prog. this is the answer. This album brings so much joy listening to masterpiece after masterpiece.
Inbetween the said remark - now that you find now that you hold - seasons will pass you by - i get up i get down ....... genius
So much better than the music of today, e.g., that of Justin Bieber.
If the last 5 minutes of this disc doesn't raise the hairs on the back of your neck, you've got no soul!
Yessongs is un-fuckin-believable
They make me raise to heaven!!!!The synth solo of Rick at the end is totally amazing..
Heaven has nothing on these guys.
I hope to be listening to Yes on my deathbed.In a perfect world, start my funeral with "Apocalypse", and then at the end of it, get everyone dancing in the ailses with this version of "All Good People"
true that it always does
Yes music is the best music
+Mark Waterworth Yes very best
A fantastic album recorded when Yes were at the peak of their powers . Remarkable , unique and still relevant .
A Supreme Masterwork of Intensity and Complexity
Speak to me of Summer,
Long Winters longer...than Time can remember...
The setting up of other roads, to travel on...in old accustomed ways........
I still remember...the Talks by the waters
The proud Sons and Daughters....that knew the knowledge of the land
and spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
Oh wow , what an Irish spring made , Glory to our majesty .🎉❤
LOVE IT - LOVE YES - THE BEST BAND EVER
I think this has the best version of the fish ever recorded. simply amazing and powerful!
Never has anyone come close. Keep the volume up😊
These babiswere great stoned and not stoned. Musicians loved them. Pugs loved them.
You could enjoy them if only as a word salad with a melody.
And WHAT a melody!
Their name popped into my head after enduring some C, B, and N jerking off to poor guitar, somehow, spontaneously.
These modern kids love old metal bands.
They've never even heard of these guys!
SHEESH!
The musical perfection of the Eagles with REAL ROCK 'N' ROLL, BABY!!!!!!!
This version of Yours is no Disgrace is nothing short of spectacular! I was trying to work while it was playing and I could barely sit still :-)
back in 1977...i got a scratched up copy of yessongs.....and couldn"t keep it off the turntable......total class live album......and an album that got me hooked on prog!
yes please! top prog band ever!
This album is one of the reasons the 1970's were the best era for rock music. What record company would take the risk of releasing a three album set (which is what Yessongs was originally) like this now? I venture to say none, never mind that there are hardly any popular bands now that have such a quality set of material to use for it. It was risky for Atlantic to do it even then but obviously the risk paid off. Yessongs cemented the band's place in the pantheon of groups that only played the biggest stadiums and concert halls all over the globe like Zeppelin, Floyd, Tull and ELP. For me, side 6 (no it's not a hexagon, it's a record album) is the best part of this set. Yours Is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper take what was already a great recording and push it to an Olympus Mons level.
Paul Bennethum I agree with you, nobody could do this today. When I bought this album, within its first release, I loved the artwork and still enjoy the music to this day.
This couldn't have been made in the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s...the 70s won't come around again. People in their 20s just aren't into the intellectual pursuits and are just too busy to care. Hip hop is easy, disposable and appeals to the base instinct. That's what the consolidators and gate keepers push. They ridicule this music.
These songs are brave and confident and speak to positive life experiences.
YES was quite a successful band when this was released ... the strength of album and ticket sales made this a no-brainer for Atlantic
17:04 is engulfing immenseness.., No one else engaged the trip like this .
Chris kicks some serious ass
Quintessential prog band that set the mold for so many other bands. Chris Squire's bass playing was so incredible. RIP
agrre with you. Yes is my favourite prog band... i dare to say that they fathered prog don't u think?
Progrock Man I would say Yes, King Crimson, Moody Blues, Genesis and The Beatles all had a hand in creating prog rock. Pink Floyd too.
True indeed. Not to forget Gentle Giant, Camel, Jethro Tull, etc.
Very true indeed! All these bands have made prog rock possible! Thank G.d they did! after all it is my favourite musical genre
Ah the genius of YES I was fortunate to see their reunion tour in the round, Absolutely the BEST SHOW ON EARTH!!! Listening and Hearing their music puts me in my Happy Place, I can't put in words the Zen-Like Feeling I have and that's a Gift that I wish the rest of the world could feel, I know if they did there would be Everlasting World Peace
one of the best bands ever !
I saw them at a fairly small venue a couple of years ago. I knew that I had to see them one more time because I didn't think I'd get to see them again. Shortly there-after, Chris Squire died and for me, Yes died. Steve Howe and Alan White are still playing but, Squire was the only player to appear on every single Yes album. He kept the name alive.
what are your going to do,fold up and forget yes because chris passed away,he wouldn't wanted that way,he went through enough personnel changes during his life in yes,he'd would want yes to carry on without him,he'd probably would say buckle up we got a show to do,long live chris squire forever in heaven.
Oh, I'm not going to forget them. They're still a big part of my playlist. It's just not the same without Chris. I feel the same about Deep Purple minus Jon Lord. They're both a huge influence on my musical tastes. For me, they both had a sound that was instantly recognizable.
Jon Lourd,what an amazing pioneer in amplification of keys. I remember driving to work when they announced his death,and went on to tell about all the things he was first to do on keyboards,which I had no clue of...I look at Chris Squire the same way,true genius & pioneer on bass guitar,may both RIP.
I saw the last tour that Chris was on 2014 I believe, in a casino venue, and it seemed so wrong
what a great version,I love the great harmonies, and that flange on the drum,great version!
Tommy Borgia Do you think that flange was added in the studio or was really a live effect?
Added in post production by Offord
One of my favourite live albums! Sounds even more amazing now re-mastered. A lot of these tracks sound better live than the studio original in my opinion.
1. "I've Seen All Good People" (0:00:00) 2. "Long Distance Runaround"/ "The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)" (0:07:06) 3. "Close To The Edge"(0:20:42) 4. "Yours Is No Disgrace" (0:38:51) 5. "Starship Trooper" (0:53:07)
Thank you Cat, Glad someone thought of this
you're welcome, coffe man
Oh, ypu bet,, Thank you cataporaextra,, Love to know the world still includes cataporaextra
s offering good rock stories, Classic music appreciation and java... I smile knowing this, You are most certainly a treasure sir
The best progressive rock band ever. Be aware!
Was so sleeping listening to All Good People....and was SO awakened haha !!
This is another one of those desert island records. If I could only have 10 records… or if you could only buy one yes collection this'd be it!! I forgot how nice this sounds. My copy is trashed! Thanks for putting this out there!
I remember when yessongs came out .. It was mind blowing then and still is ! outstanding talent !!!
great music...thank you for sharing. Long Distance/Fish...amazing...
I had this album when I was a teen. Then I joined the navy and my brother inherited it and I never saw it again along with 100's of other scratched up albums.
gracias por traerme tantos recuerdos, aún conservo como una joya, el disco en acetato cuádruple de este concierto memorable del grupo YES, adquirido en el año 74, aquí en Caracas-Venezuela. lamento las partidas de Alan White y Chris Squire, pero quedarob sus discos para la eternidad.
Talán az egyik legjobb lemezük. Nehéz felülmúlni!..
Truly one of the greatest bands of all time!
me acuerdo cuando me ponía "up to the mother" (hasta la madre, pues) con este discazo, sobretodo "yours is no disgrace"..magnífica rola, que buena grabación en vivo...de lo mejor de Yes..
Thank you brother. My heart goes out to all those who...? Love life and love truth. See the Truth Soldier.
"I've Seen All Good People: Your Move/All Good People" (Anderson, Squire) - 0:00 (7:00)
"Long Distance Runaround/The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)" (Anderson, Squire) - 7:00 (20:45)
"Close to the Edge: The Solid Time of Change/Total Mass Retain/I Get up I Get Down/Seasons of Man" (Anderson, Howe) - 20:45 (38:58)
"Yours Is No Disgrace" (Anderson, Bruford, Howe, Kaye, Squire) - 38:58 (53 :08)
"Starship Trooper: Life Seeker/Disillusion/Würm" (Anderson, Howe, Squire) - 53 :08 (1:03:00)
+Ed Esteban you are very helpful
+Ed Esteban Thanks
Thanks for the track list, man, awesome!
El solo de Steve Howe en yours is no Disgrace es infernal!!!!!!!!
De primera calidad
Thanks for posting my very first and favorite live album set. Words can't express the joy this music brings to me. Will always be thankful to my older brother for turning me on to YES and classic/progressive rock in general.
Mind blowing.
Awesome album
THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD MASTERING OF PROBABLY THE BEST DOUBLE LIVE ALBUM SET TO COME OUT OF THE ERA OF GREAT ROCK--ELP, WISHBONE ASH, DEEP PURPLE, FLOYD, STONES, LITTLE FEAT, ZAPPA, AND ALL OF THE MINOR AND MAJOR GODS OF ROCKANDROLLYMPIA--YESSONGS IS PROBABLY THE BEST OVERALL EFFORT. THE VALLEY SPIRIT IS ALWAYS STRONG! SCHWING!!!
Awesome .. thank you for posting :-)
This version of ' Yours is No Disgrace ' blows away the filmed version easily
Like I said on disk one. Wow.
Toda mi vida e escuchado en set grupo inglés, que desde muy joven me cautivó de lo mejor del mundo.
una de las mejores bandas progresiva en el mumdo musical por este motivo fue lanzado al hall de la fama del rock en mayo de este 2017 son unos recuerdos magnificos y toda la ola de otros grupos elp trull liquid project kim crisom etc que en paz descanse uno de los mejores bajistas chris squire god to bless you a seguir escuhando a esta banda q jamas morira y vivira en los que realmente valoramos el rock progresivo yeahhhh....
Absolutely wonderful !!! Where in tarnation have i been !!!
Ahh, Back in the day. When there was the profit motive, but it hadn't snuffed out creativity and uniqueness! I grew up with Yes. I'm 60 now and I really miss not just Yes, but a time and world that could allow a band like that to exist.
58, and couln't have said it better myself
Saw them at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ in 2000. Kansas opened for them, and that band was in rough shape. I was worried that I'd laid out good dollar for washed up bands... but when Yes played, they were in superhuman form. Even tighter than these recordings. I was floored.
Saw them live right before and after Fragile was released. They played at Lakeland Community College with Atomic Rooster opening. Pretty heady stuff for a 10th grader- but WAY cool.
This music has no boundaries or limits to the ears that are in for a rare special treat.
Disc2: at 7:00 min starting:: "Long distance ..." a milestone in Pro.-Rock and in Rock-history at all; at ca. 11:11 min starts the bass event - immortal cause of matchless!!!
One of the greatest bands alltime together with Pink Floyd and Genesis by whom i grew up with. I'm now 56 and i've heard little bands who can compete with this quality of symphonic and psychidelic rock. The only band who will come any near this level is Dream Theater. I can't stop listening and i think it will be a long time before anyone forgets this kind of music.
Amazing live masterwork by the best Prog band of all them. And the greatest live album ever recorded. Also, at 35:10 you can hear the most exciting Hammond solo in Rock history.
Back in the day, you could see a concert like this for under five bucks...
+Adrian Lackey
Jeff Beck, Lil feet, King Crimson, Robin Trower The Boss, King Chrirmson and the YES @ the Orpheon Boston
+Stephen Pariseau Jeff Beck, Yes, you have great taste.
+Brian Ellis Thanks Brian! So much great music, so little time.
Don't forget the James Gang, The Allman Bros (with Duane),the Band, the Dead, & Tull
Aunque no lo veamos el sol siempre está!
Seasons will pass you by ........................
15:20 Chris Squire tearing the small club down ....really just an amaxing performance
Best bass riffs ever--RIP Chris Squire.
Thank you, I needed this
I saw this set performed in Cols, Ohio in the fall of '72!
The best progrock band ever!
always loved this. such a shame it was a lo-fi recording, still we cant have everything.
+Robert Bryant
the new Progeny: Seven Shows From Seventy-Two boxset has much better sound quality and I'd really recommend it
@@picker4775 me too ... I just spent a stupid amount of money for the 12 disc CD set ... the vinyls were a limited release but I could not afford the $500 price tag ... more now if you can even find the set
il miglior album della storia del Rock
Just blew out my ear drums (using headphones) reliving this Yes concert. I saw them in 1970something in Greensboro, NC. I was an usher at the colisieum. I knew then and I especially know now how lucky I was to hear Yes. What musicians and what a band. Insanely good as someone says in the comments.
This concert and a Leon Russell concert are my 2 pics that came from out of nowhere for me. Leon Russell.... what a showman!!! His concert was like a tent revival. (I've seen showmen before. As an usher I saw Elvis 3 times. Also I've seen Bruce Springsteen 3 times.) Not an Elvis fan but those were seriously good.
I just heard that concert last night ... it's on UA-cam, search for "YES: Progeny, Greensboro NC, 1972" ... rock on, brother
lovely kind of music
36:37 is the climax of this disc for me...the pinnacle of the mountain, and heading down into the "silence of the valley." How in the HELL did these guys make such deep music???
ctte just did things to me it's never done before. yes fan for as long as I remember but never listened to this in headphones before. it's so many levels of deep and complexely wonderful words simply cannot describe.
Agreed Christopher! :D I felt the same way!
... and do it when they were so young

Here Bill plays , Long distance runaround and the fish
At start I thought White was better than Bill , then listening again and again..
I said in my mind this drummer in an extra terrest.
I loved yes, and didn't know Bill was gone for King Crimson (and appeared in UK+genesis+gong,then his own group Earhtworks)
So during 5 years i didnt ear Bill, then I knew what he made during this time.
Bill Bruford is really an extraordinary drummer and musician.
He is the father of every modern drummer.
Zo mooi ! Ja ik vind dit het mooiste album. Kippevel telkens weer.
Pmng
Im glad bruford is on a few of these songs.
良い研究材料になるんで聴いているんだよ、バンド全体のコントラストと多分作詞哲学が凄いと思う。
Steve Howe on fire in Yours is no Disgrace
Take 2...Yesss !...
Downright exhausting !!!!
A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace
And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar
And taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour
And assessing points to nowhere, leading every single one
A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun
And take away the plain in which we move
And choose the course you're running
Down at the end, round by the corner
Not right away, not right away
Close to the edge, down by a river
Not right away, not right away
Crossed the line around the changes of the summer
Reaching out to call the color of the sky
Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see
Getting over all the time I had to worry
Leaving all the changes far from far behind
We relieve the tension only to find out the master's name
Down at the end, round by the corner
Close to the edge, just by a river
Seasons will pass you by
I get up, I get down
Now that it's all over and done
Now that you find, now that you're whole
[II Total Mass Retain]
My eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love
It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above
I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand
There's you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don't understand
Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see
As armoured movers took approached to overlook the sea
There since the cord, the license, or the reasons we understood will be
Down at the edge, close by a river
Close to the edge, round by the corner
Close to the end, down by the corner
Down at the edge, round by the river
Sudden cause shouldn't take away the startled memory
All in all, the journey takes you all the way
As apart from any reality that you've ever seen and known
Guessing problems only to deceive the mention
Passing paths that climb halfway into the void
As we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain
Down at the edge, round by the corner
Close to the end, down by a river
Seasons will pass you by
I get up, I get down
[III I Get Up, I Get Down]
In her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking
Saying that she'd take the blame
For the crucifixion of her own domain
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
Two million people barely satisfy
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late
The eyes of honesty can achieve
(She would gladly say it amazement of her story)
How many millions do we deceive each day?
(Asking only interest could be layed upon the children of her domain)
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
In charge of who is there in charge of me
(She could clearly see the lady sadly looking)
Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
(Saying that she'd take the blame
For the crucifixion of her own domain)
The truth is written all along the page
(She would gladly say it amazement of her story)
How old will I be before I come of age for you?
(Asking only interest could be layed upon the children of her domain)
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
[IV Seasons Of Man]
The time between the notes relates the color to the scenes
A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, so it seems
And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love
As song and chance develop time, lost social temp'rance rules above
Ah, ah
Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space
He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race
I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place
On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley
Called to witness cycles only of the past
And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark
Close to the edge, down by the river
Down at the end, round by the corner
Seasons will pass you by
Now that it's all over and done
Called to the seed, right to the sun
Now that you find, now that you're whole
Seasons will pass you by
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
I get up, I get down
+godbluffvdgg Not so sure I should like to have my liver rearranged. I like it as it is.
***** Well, if you can think of a better way to achieve solid mental grace; I'd like to hear about it...:)
+godbluffvdgg Well, if could be achieved solely by using music that came quickly from afar, I think that would have a far less deleterious impact upon my internal organs. ;-))
I get up, I get down...:)
Ik ben Regina en yes is mijn leven al 50 jaar. Schitterend album !
From the prog rock era of live lp's Songs has always been a fav, but i went full into E.L.P.'s Welcome
Back . . . 3lp live.
He pulled the last solo off on a double neck....which he never seemed to use again .
Steve
RIP Chris Squire
