This Guy made Yesalbum , Fragile, Close to The Edge , Tales, Relayer , Going for The Onde , Tormato, Drama ..... The Gold era of Prog rock! ❤❤❤ Thank you , Steve! 😊🇧🇷
Exactly, to hell with the Beatles !!
From u.k
Next to jimi I think he’s the best of all time!
Just my opinion!
Forgot ABWH.....
So very good.
Why I'm a YES fan.
It wasn’t just Steve, but so glad they made this music.
I like his album "Masterpiece Guitars" with Martin Taylor more than his stuff in Yes.
Imagine being around then and them popping their head around the corner to say Hi. Just fabulous stories and how great for Steve to have that experience to talk about.
Truly an incredible story. Remarkable.
Steve is one of the best guitarist ever ! I still go to Yes shows today and this band is always crisp and clean. One of the best bands in history !
Wow the legendary Steve Howe. Such an incredible musician.
“Roundabout” is an absolutely amazing recording!
From my perspective it must have been mind blowing to be a musician in London back in those days. But I guess for those who were there, like Steve, it was just how things were. Great stories.
I'd say it would have been extremely mind blowing.
Wow - what a musician - of course I loved YES - saw their
‘In the round show’ - with the group performing in the center of the audience - definite WOW - got to see ASIA several times (a true supergroup) - even got to get back stage and hang out with Steve’s manager for a bit - Steve strikes me as the most intelligent rocker ever -
Steve Howe is a humble, cool man.
The Greatest, Soooooo underrated. God Bless you Steve Howe
100%
@@marcbeckman Just listen to YesSongs.....nuff said ✌️
He is not "underrated" what so ever!
Steve is such a talented, gracious and humble legend of a man.
I used to see the Incrowd at Blaises every week & knew them individually. Keith, Steve, Junior & Twink then became Tomorrow. The rest is history. I suppose the movement in ‘66 was the inspiration of ‘67 the Summer of Love & Sargeant Peppers. I feel so privileged to have witnessed that time 2:22
Amazing.
Steve Howe. - A Master.
100%
Tomorrow were amazing. Steve is already his excellent self on their lone album.
I'm not particularly a fan of Yes but Steve Howe is still one of my favourite guitarists of all time. The yes albums that I do really like all feature Steve.
😊hi
Howe was the most well-rounded and versatile guitarist in music history, nobody even close.
This man is a legend, many greats moments thanks to him. God bless you
Steve's all that, too.
I have Tomorrow's albums (I think they are very good) and I can say with confidence that the Beatles were FIRST, before Steve or Tomorrow.
The Beatles even had a psychedelic version of "Norwegian Wood" (Oct. 1965) but they opted to put the folk version on Rubber Soul.
Paul McCartney has been very open about the fact that The Beatles used to draw inspiration from every experience they could, so it should come as no surprise that Tomorrow would have influenced them.
Steve Howe is nothing short of amazing. His work with YES deserves every bit of credit he's ever gotten, and then some. NO ONE could've done those YES albums like he did. It's sad to see him slow everything down these days, and to keep Anderson out of the fold is plain egotistical foolishness. YES today is just a copy band with Howe in it. AWR was SO much more enjoyable and rocking....you can't replace Jon Anderson. Be that as it may, thank you Steve for a career of amazing guitar contributions. You are a guitar genius. And YES including 'Give Peace A Chance" etc. was way cool (YES LP). Best wishes to you Mr. Howe. You're awesome.
Every time I listen to YES music (The classic lp's) everyone in that band blows me away.
Tomorrow would never know.
Of course everyone knows the story of how John met Yoko. He was at her art show and he climbed up on a ladder to look at one of the art pieces and it was some writing that was up on the ceiling, and it said “Yes”. So the rest is history.
Thanks for sharing, I wasn't familiar with that story.
@@marcbeckman That is the real story, but of course it had nothing to do with the band Yes. I was just joking about that part. 😊
From u.k.
Apart from jimi because he was the source, just listen
to YES albums and watch the man.
In my opinion! Howe best of all time?
A couple more that springs to mind who are close
really close but Howes arrangements on long pieces
Live!
Everybody has their fave.
Steve Howe is extremely underrated - I have a theory about why but it's very lengthy / too long to type.
Steve was absolutely great, but to say anyone was “the best” is pointless.
Marc Bolan said that 'My White Bicycle' was the perfect Psychedelic song.
Give a listen to "Tomorrow, 'My White Bicycle'.." Still great Psychedelic music.. (and yeah.. you'll hear the influences..)..
Lots of thanks to the innovative recording engineers and producers too.. by not being afraid to experiment.. 🎶🤩🎶👍
Beatles were a nice little band.
Is a better litle band in the music moder , the 🐐
Paul McCartney actually said that they were a good little band…
I heard the the incredibly distorted guitar in revolution, was inspired by the song Spirit in the sky. I think that was according to John Lennon somewhere where I heard it in an interview.
Makes sense.
It's a sin that the Tomorrow recorded one LP only . They were great
This is a true story: Paul McCartney was once asked how does it feel to be a member of the best band in the world and he said, "I don't know, I was never a member of Yes." Touche!
Would LOVE to see that clip!
You're just shifting Elvis' quote about Roy Orbison aren't you ?
what? did he actually say that?
I've heard that comment a million times with other people's names substituted in. I don't believe Paul McCartney said that at all. I could be wrong, but I'd like to see that interview.
@@magneto7930 yes, like Eddie Van Halen talking about Bruce Cockburn or Hendrix talking about Roy Harper.
WOW!!! Thy saw YES recording! Lucky lads!
It was the band Tomorrow that Steve Howe was in when The Beatles would pop their head in and say hi. Yes didn’t form till 1968 and Steve joined Yes in 1970
Yes Frank Zappa influenced John Lennon. and Paul, they loved the Freak Out Album- seems to me everyone influenced everyone. lol.
Interviewers sons initials are JSB. For Johann Sebastian?
In an interview (cannot remember which) McCartney was asked how does it feel to be considered one of the best musicians in the world.
He said,"I don't know, I'm not in Yes!"
When did he Ever say that?
I don't believe that until I see the interview.
@@magneto7930 Actually I think it was just a quote from an interview. As I have said, I cannot recall exactly where I heard it. Anyway, would it be so strange?
@@Richard-mh5llActually I think it was just a quote from an interview. As I have said, I cannot recall exactly where I heard it. Anyway, would it be so strange?
It would be very strange Paul and John considered The Beatles the best band in the world. Without actual proof positive of McCartney saying it?I find it impossible to be believed.
@@comic4relief
I listen to BODAST
Steve should never have left Tomorrow, and Yes should never have fired Peter Banks.
Poor Peter Banks; in spite of his very fine guitar work, he ultimately went next to unrecognized. (Certainly this is in no way a slight to Steve).
Tomorrow imploded due to a lot of things, mostly Keith West's solo single was in the charts when no new Tomorrow singles were released from the album before its late release in 68.
Where's the money Lebowski... nice jacket 😊
Here's hoping that Howe, Wakeman, Anderson, Bruford, AND lastly but by no means leastly EDDIE OFFORD producer will get back together for one more purely artistic effort to match the superlative statement they made in' "Close To The Edge' 1972. It could be done.
They have not had strokes. They're still in good enough shape. Just find another bassist of his own great inspiration to take Chris Squire's place. I dont want it to sound like 'Close To The Edge', I want them to be in it for Art's Sake one more time and for the ages. People will listen to 'Close To The Edge' 300 years from now, and these chaps are still with us for a little while longer so: How about at least thinking about it. and talking to one another sussing each other out for what they might like to do in this all time great lineup, and having a go making great art for arts sake one more last time?
none of that will ever happen, I'm afraid, for a million reasons... I feel like their last real statement 'for art's sake' was 'In The Presence Of' off 'Magnification' album
@@georgesonm1774 Thank you, I will try to buy their 'Magnification' cd somewhere and listen to it. Still:
What do you say Steve? I know you guys have some great ideas up your sleeve. Go on, ring them up. Giv'em a call. Get together and enjoy a unique one-of set of mates in a relaxed enjoyable place that has a studio. Maybe Rick Wakeman's country house estate. If nothing happens except a nice gathering of families then that would be OK! Don't forget inspiration is magnified around other great artists.
I dont see any influence of Tomorrow over Sgt. Pepper. The Beatles were already heading in that direction with Revolver. Besides, Pepper came out first.
Yeah and my child’s name is Sadie Bulldog Skelter.
Huge Fan !!!
Steve is wearing Dude's sweater 🙂
Click bait. Steve respectfully deferred.
Betteridge's Rule of Headlines strikes again: in every news headline with a question mark, the real answer is "no".
Why did beatles revcrds sound like they were made in 70s?
There isn't really any similarity between Tomorrow's Revolution and the Beatles Revolution.
No Jon , no Yes ... Let it go , man ... please...
Those were the days my friend, but then The Buggles came along and killed the radio star, starting with Yes.
Ask the million dollar question. Will Steve ever reach out to Jon Anderson?
No....
How?
@@just_ben1951 It's called a TELEPHONE
The Beatles drew from their influences (Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan, Stockhausen) more than their music influenced other bands. Their success influenced other bands and record companies but hardly anyone sounded like The Beatles because few bands have ever had three singer/songwriters who each sounded very different from the others.
There are a lot of bands influenced by the Beatles musically. They may not have all had 3 members who were songwriters but harmonies were to the fore and they influenced the instrumentation. Bands like the Hollies, the Dave Clark Five, Gerry & the Pacemakers, The Merseybeats, The Byrds, and more than comes to mind at the moment. The Sir Douglas Quintet, Doug Sahm's group from San Antonio, Texas, modeled themselves after the Beatles, trying to pass themselves off as British with She's About A Mover. They also influenced all new bands to write their own material, even if it was just 1 or 2 within the group.
@@donyoung7874 Dave Clark 5 were formed in 1958. The Hollies 1962. Gerry & the Pacemakers 1956. The Searchers 1959. The Zombies 1961. The Merseybeats 1960. The Animals 1962. Manfred Mann 1962. The Kinks 1963.
Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran, Dion, The Four Seasons, The Beach Boys all wrote original songs.
@@bobturnley2787 I know all those artists performed original music. I never claimed they didn't, professor. We all know that the Beatles and those early rock n roll, or beat groups, did cover songs. At that time, it took those groups to get the music of the black artists that you named, heard on most radio stations. Many of the bands you listed came out around the same time that the Beatles did. They were playing Germany and England in the very early 60's. I imagine you can give me the exact dates of the shows in Hamburg. I don't know the ratio of cover tunes to original music, but I would expect they were doing more covers in the beginning. There were still songwriters working in the Brill Building through the 60's selling songs to artists, so many musicians were not performing their own songs.
I also said primarily the Beatles influenced harmonies and instrumentation possibly more than the songwriting aspect. But I never said they were the very first group ever to have more than one vocalist and utilized harmonies did I? Just about every book I've read in the past 3 decades, or the documentaries I've watched on the Beatles and music in the 60's, has discussed their influence on the music around them and certainly on groups who came after them. You're the only one I've seen that says otherwise. I suppose it's possible they could all be wrong. Everyone is influenced by what's going on around them and by artists that came before. None of them live in vacuums. I would think part of finding your own sound and voice would be the process of performing cover material early on, since you have to start somewhere.
@@bobturnley2787 Thanks for the setting me straight. But where did I write the Beatles were the first group to write original music or sing harmonies? I did say they influenced many other groups with their original songs, their harmonies, and their instrumentation. They also influenced the look of other musicians who tried to emulate the success of the Beatles. Over the past 40 years I've read a number of interviews, read books, and watched documentaries that all discussed the importance of the Beatles on music. I suppose they could all be wrong. As a musician, I think most musicians begin playing other people's music. Those early groups played black music that they heard, then re-worked and sent back to America or to white audiences in general. Blacks didn't get a lot of airplay at that time. Then they heard what was going on around them and borrowed bits and pieces from their contemporaries too. None of them formed in vacuums. Chuck Berry wasn't the first to write original music either. He also borrowed heavily from Jimmy Reed.
@@donyoung7874 "Lot of bands influenced musically...harmonies to the fore (you name the bands.) "Influenced all new bands to write their own material." Vocal harmony in Pop music has been around for as long as there's been Pop music. There were bands writing songs before The Beatles and bands singing covers after The Beatles.
Surprising fact, The Beatles recorded 22 covers. Some people say Grand Funk was all about covers. Grand Funk recorded 12 covers. The Monkees and Three Dog Night did pretty well singing other people's songs.
Chuck Berry? He isn't even the first guy to sing his own Rock & Roll songs. That would be Roy Brown.
The Beatles influence is highly overrated because those who have the most success in music, sell the most books about music.
JESUS DESTROYED THE BAND AND KILLING TWO MEMBERS. SENDING THEM TO HELL, WHEN JOHN LENNON SAID, "WE ARE MORE POPULAR THAN JESUS."
The Beatles stole like Dick Turpin.
Hah!
Nonsense.
WHO is Steve Howe?
Guitarist for the band YES
@@billdowney1487 - I thought Trevor Rabin was their guitarist?
@@christopherp.hitchens3902 --Trevor did not join YES until 1983. Howe joined YES in 1970.
@@billdowney1487 - Geez! YES was around a lot longer than I thought. Thanks! I should’ve Googled it but I never got around to it!
Who is Steve Howe? Only the greatest progressive rock guitarist, that's all. He was voted Guitarist of the Year 5 times in a row by Guitar Player magazine. He can play any style of guitar, from pure rock, progressive, fusion, country, pedal steel, jazz, classical and Spanish.
Steve Howe? Didn't you set the record for getting banned from MLB for life more than anyone else? What is it, 8 times?
So this is your new gig, huh?
I believe the baseball Steve Howe died young lol
@@secularZoo thank you. Accidental overdose?
They should have left within you without you off Sgt Pepper. That song is crap and put strawberry fields and penny lane on instead
If I’m not mistaken, their record company-driven policy, which is incomprehensible to us now, was to release singles and specifically not include them on the albums made during the same recording sessions.
So sorry you feel that way! It is the only piece like it on pepper. I love it.
@@taddallman-morton6796
I agree, Within You Without You is a trip on George's flying carpet in my mind's eye...
Sergeant Pepper is a fabulous album
It's wayyyyy too "Paul McCartney as George Martin, the production teacher's pet" - which irked John soo much he took smack from James Taylor... but it's groundbreaking despite that...-
After tomorrow never understood how he could join such a dreadful band like yes and stay there for ever
Yes is a love them or not band. I happen to think they are a great band but I can see where you wouldn’t like them. Everyone loves Led Zeppelin but I can’t stand them yet I like Robert Plant’s solo career.
@@johnurban7333: Not everyone loves Led Zeppelin, and Tomorrow definitely weren’t up to much, Yes however had a period from 1970 to 77 when they achieved near perfection musically and creatively, Pete’s loss if he doesn’t appreciate that
@@howardjones7370 I agree. I started listening to Yes in 1970 and those years you mentioned were the best
@@howardjones7370eh after close to the edge they lost their streak of perfect albums
@@tuskact4overheaven873 : Except they didn’t
