  • @brianfileman
    @brianfileman 16 днів тому +2

    Great first time reaction to a band and song.
    A few notes. Contrary to one comment, none of the original band were ‘classically’ trained at all.
    This was from their 4th album, with only three original members, including singer and main songwriter Jon Anderson. The guitarist here (Steve Howe) replaced Peter Banks on The Yes Album (1970): the third album. He is self taught, with classical and country and western influences in his style.
    Rick Wakeman replaced Tony Kaye on keyboards here, and did have significant classical training. The spaceship sound you thought was a bit like Pink Floyd, is a played keyboard: no sequencers back then. The swell behind the acoustic guitar at the start was a piano chord left to decay to nothing, then spliced in to the track, with the tape reversed.
    Yes are still playing, but with none of the original line-up: just Steve Howe.
    Jon Anderson is still writing and singing and just released an album. He will be 80 this month and sounds almost exactly the same as on this track.
    Bassist Chris Squire and Yes were both major influences on Geddy Lee and Rush.
    I already knew Yes when I bought this album in 1971, so I was not as surprised as you, but equally delighted by Roundabout.
    Last bit of advice. Don’t try to understand Jon Anderson’s lyrics. They sound great when he sings: leave it at that.

    All their music between 1971 to 1976 was absolutely epic. The calibre of musicianship is unmatched -- it's been said that they were aliens from another world. But seriously, their music was so intricate, so unique, so progressive and yet so accessible. Only they could do that. If you want to experience the progression in their amazing creative development, start with their 71 album The Yes Album and go forward from there. It's a journey you'll never forget.

    Just landed here and subscribed immediately to witness your journey down prog rock rabbit holes, which run very deep and are twisted with countless warrens of many flavors, so we may be here for awhile.
    One thing about Yes is to not get too wrapped up with a lot of the lyrics, which are fantastic and critical to the Yes sound. Jon's voice is an instrument, and his lyrics are often cryptic; trying to figure them out at first listens can be tough. Yes was my favorite band to see live. Enjoy! I'm off to see what you have heard already.

    Yes still tours with Steve Howe, the guitarist since 1970. Jon Anderson the original vocalist just finished a tour with the Band Geeks, playing Yes music, and just released a NEW album of original music! Rick Wakeman the keys player on this track - their 2nd keys player - still has the occasional solo concert. All well into their 70's. Ignore the lyrics till you've heard each song at least 17 times. Best band ever IMO. Best prog band ever in almost everyone's opinion. Still unsurpassed 53 years later. Try Close to the Edge, Awaken, And You and I, Siberian Khatru, Heart of the Sunrise, and many more.

    This was a great choice for your first song by YES. Although it is their biggest "hit", hits, of course, are not the measure of greatness in prog rock. The real measure is what other musicians say about them and their music. Geddy Lee of Rush said that If not for YES, there would be no Rush. You could say that about dozens of great bands that followed. Their most respected work is probably "Close to the Edge". Many think it is the single greatest song in prog. Thanks for doing this one.

    The crazy thing is they have 100 other songs just as good or better, depending on your mood and taste. You mentioned it sounding like the band Asia for a second, the guitarist of Asia's first few albums is the same lead guitarist in Yes, Steve Howe. Yes is still together and touring with Steve, but a few original members died, some were replaced etc. The singer is touring now with The Band Geeks doing all Yes stuff, they are amazing.

    Peter Banks was their original lead guitarist on their first two albums, but he then left and was replaced by Steve Howe who is playing on this recording. I first saw them live performing their third album, ‘The Yes Album’, and they were outstanding. I saw them again promoting the ‘Fragile’ album, which thus track is from. They were a superb live band.

    Glad you enjoyed this song! There are plenty of other YES songs worth listening to, but I'm sure you'll get to them at some point. Many of their best songs are quite long, so you'll have to prepare yourself for that. From that same 1971 album "Fragile" you might want to check out "Heart of the Sunrise" and "South Side of the Sky." Other amazing and brain-twisting songs by them are "Perpetual Change," "Yours Is No Disgrace," "I've Seen All Good People," "Close to the Edge" (considered a true masterpiece and one of the highest rated "prog rock songs,") "And You And I," "Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soliel,)" "Sound Chaser," "Turn of the Century," "Awaken," and "Machine Messiah." That's just a short list of my personal favorites. The band is still going, though there are no original members left in the group. The original bass player passed away a few years ago, as did the original guitar player. The classic lineup (the one that recorded Roundabout) isn't the only lineup worth listening to. The lead singer is now touring with another band and "Yes," having the guitar player from the Roundabout era is still touring and they are working on a new album. They are all making wonderful art.

    FYI: YES were formed by the singer & bassist in 68 to became the QUINTESSENTIAL 'definitive" Progressive Rock band of all time from 1970 -1979 with their second guitarist (70), keyboardist (71) & drummer (73) during which time they created some of the most adventurously groundbreaking music of any band within that entire decade!!!! Through the 80's, drastic lineup changes took place with new & ex-members coming and going. Eventually the primary classic lineup rejoined in the 90's & toured until 2004. The band reunited with a different singer in 2008 who was again replaced a few years later. Today, this original voice of YES, Jon Anderson has been touring & recording the best version of this music with an excellent younger group while the guitarist here, Steve Howe continues as YES backed by no members from the 70's as well. NOTE: Like YES there were many originators of the genre from Europe who began in the late 60's and were also very influentially unique during the early 70's such as the great KING CRIMSON, GENESIS, ELP, GENTLE GIANT, PFM, JETHRO TULL and more... Since you mentioned them, IMHO, the more Hardrock influenced Canadian band RUSH were fans of YES but were not "pure" ProgRock. ROUNDABOUT was there first big 1971 hit but YES were by no means a commercially mainstream band & this song is just a small taste of their amazing creativity and imaginative virtuosity to come. Your journey deep into this EXTROADINARY YES rabbit hole has just begun.............................................more YES suggestions > STARSHIP TROOPER, HEART of the SUNRISE, PERPECTUAL CHANGE, SEEN ALL GOOD PEOPLE, YOURS is no DISGRACE then once you are absolutely ready, the entire "mind-blowing" CLOSE TO THE EDGE album
