Had no idea this live extended version is so great. This live version lives now, soaring eternally on the silent wings of freedom. And with these images. Thank you. Chris Squire is forever here.
What a wonderful slice of live YES! On The Silent Wings of Freedom>Wakeman Solo>Awaken....Nearly perfect sound! Christmas just came early! Thank you, Stephen.
Chris Squire and YES, the greatest show on earth. The first time I saw YES, the first three songs were Sound Chaser, Close To The Edge, and Gates Of Delirium. Saw YES 35 more times over forty years ✨️🎶👑🎶✨️
Awaken is simply the greatest piece of music Yes ever put out. And considering this is the band that gave us close to the edge and the gates of delirium that's saying something.
@@toplissstephen I know. That sound on 'And You And I' and the beautiful 'Soon' section of 'Gates' is so emotive. Whenever Howe was not in the band Yes Music seemed to lose it's heart, but Howe, with his Jazz overtones, gives it it's peculiar direction. I love the way he hardly used distortion guitar like most bands did in the 70's. I think people are tuning in to Yes even more these days because of their unusual Symphonic treatment of rock music, and for that I believe Wakeman plays a huge part.
@@larrymagee8758 Well, yes, to a degree, but listen to Gates with Moraz and Drama with Downes and the Albums both retain that distinctive Yes sound. However take Howe out and you get 90125 and Big Gen, clearly not really 'Yes.'
Of the (surprising) amount of high-quality recordings from the 1978-79 "Tourmato/Ten True Summers Long 10th Anniversary tour, THIS recording from Richfield Coliseum is my absolute favorite recording, mainly due to the "Big Medley" absolutely tearing the roof of the Arena. ok, maybe tied with Quebec City 79.
@@androoq1 thank you I've been trying to figure out whether this is a better recording than Quebec, and it is subjective because of whether you play it on earphones, pc speakers or in the car. I will give the big medley a listen tomorrow in the car on my way to work
@ there is a little repeating “trill” running throughout the medley that could either be Chris plucking the bass strings at the neck OR something Rick is playing and repeating but it’s hypnotic and I love it so much
Walked into show posing as snack bar worker wearing a plain 💚 green apron found in parking lot.. it was a sign from heaven. Discrete unticketed concert entry by any means necessary in the day!😊
Saw them on this tour in Prov. R.I. This was back in the days when I saw them, usually once, sometimes multiple times, each tour cycle. Man, they put on such great concerts! Those days you could afford to go one night in Providence, another night in Worcester or Hartford, another in Springfield and another at The Garden (Boston).
Wow! What the heck? On the back of your 47th screamdown @4:17 -4:25? Al my times listening to different versions and then Yes!!! Thanks great everything!
The intro to On the Silent Wings of Freedom was all over the place and a mess (Chris was on point), but when Jon came in with his vocals the song became more cohesive, IMO. But hey, I'd never heard a live version of the song so I'm happy nonetheless. The Wakeman solo, however, was very good and very clear, leading into an entertaining rendition of Awaken. I was not disappointed. Thanks.
Mais um momento que eterniza a música dos YES. Mais um entre outros excelentes grupos de então, em que musicalidade, genialidade e beleza musical imperava. UAU
Yes kept going whereas others didn't, maybe others were too precious about their music, but Yes let others come along and maybe rework things in the future.
It was. I saw two of three nights of this tour at MSG and got a good look at the thing through my telephoto lens (along with sine great pics) it was rather odd it was a bit bigger and boxy and he had just one which looked weird in the twin minimoog setup.

Yes, a musical dream that have lasted more than fifty years for me... thanks for this, Stephen ❤
This is really frigging good. Thanks.
Clicked on the thumbnail the algorithm offered up. imagine my surprise .... It's from a show I attended. Crazy old world.
Wow! Incredible! Two of my favorites Yes songs. Sounds beautiful. Thanks!

Have you caught Jon with the Band Geeks? Fantastic
What a great recording. thanks for posting!!
Thanks for posting this rare gem. I always wondered if there was a live version of this.
When this album 1st came out in 1979 I wasn’t a big fan but have grown to absolutely love it, YES are TRULY the BEST EVER!!!

Far the best track on tomato!
Yes music never ages, it always sounds modern even after all this time. Steve Howe is what makes it.
You can't beat his steel lap guitar, not sure why others don't get one!

@@sawry1 I think we'll find out that Steve Howe is the most irreplaceable member of Yes
@@sawry1 Howe and Wakeman.

That's very special. What happened when you went to the snack bar!
Perfect for the Holidays 😊
Thanks so much for share. Great memories.

Alan White , great drummer underrated. In this song Is a Monster!
Terry and Jerry Robinson Merry Christmas🎄💚☃️

I think this is from "Tormato," one of my favorite Yes albums, right next to "CTTE," and "Relayer."

Olias of Accrington just kicked it out of the park
Wowee !!! Those are some BIG Honeybees !!!

Fantástico, genios totales. Música eterna. Gracias por compartir❤❤❤❤
The stereo panning on Steve Howe is friggin' amazing !
Another song from the late 70's/early 80's I've been looking for is "Heathaze" from Genesis. Ever wondered if there is a live version.
Not live, but someone has added mellotron to the original track giving it classic Genesis lift.......type in "Heathaze with added mellotron"
Squire rules on this one!
Спасибо, дорогой Друг!!!
Live Yes in Concert Phoenix 1979
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Saw the Philly Spectrum show on this tour. Nosebleed seets.
Squire the GOAT
Wonder if that was the Birotron?
It was. I saw two of three nights of this tour at MSG and got a good look at the thing through my telephoto lens (along with sine great pics) it was rather odd it was a bit bigger and boxy and he had just one which looked weird in the twin minimoog setup.
This is worderful. Do you have the rest of the show?
There is a website called Forgotten Yesterdays and you can download most concerts
