It's a funny comment but resembles me a good marketing phrase: "Propaganda is what people think of you, not what you think of you" (sorry for my english)..
RIP the three members of Yes Peter Banks (July 15, 1947 - March 7, 2013), aged 65 Chris Squire (March 4, 1948 - June 27, 2015), aged 67 Alan White (June 14, 1949 - May 26, 2022), aged 72 You will be remembered as legends.
I understood only recently that Chris_IS_Yes. He was only one constant member of the band since it's foundation. and his playing is easily recognizable, which gives distinct flavor to Yes music.
I saw Yes in 1971, and they were amazing! I still remember Chris Squire breaking a bass string (!) in the middle of a song. Amazing thing: the whole band stopped playing instantly, Steve Howe picked up his acoustic guitar and started playing Mood For A Day, a song they almost never played live! No more than 3 or 4 seconds form broken string to---a classic classical piece! Fast forward to present day. My son, just turned 20 and he was watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I heard Roundabout playing! I had to find out what that was. So what next? I end up getting hooked on JoJo, have seen all the videos with the entire JoJo story arc (I know the manga goes further), and I really like it. And my son bought the Yes album (that's right, vinyl) Fragile. He's now a big Yes fan, and digs lots of prog rock from that time period! Win-win!!
I met Chris Squire once after a show in Seattle...he signed my shirt. I told him I'd been a fan for 20 years and he said "great, great" in a very heavy accent. One of those few awesome moments we have in our lives.
And dang, he could sing harmony, too! Watching this video (again...) I realized the cats singing harmony are also the ones ripping out these amazing lines! So amazing!!!
Watching and hearing Steve Howe in 1973 is THE reason I picked up a guitar. 51 years later - no one else has quite captured this spirit of musical intensity. YES!
With tears in my old eyes, at my 65 right now, i was 16 when they were playing in this tour, and me, born and rised in Chile, southamerica was following Yes music through the only FM radio that played that genre. As teen we had a band, amateurs all of us, but we played with our hearts the music we loved. My tribute to the whole band and for my fav bassist Chris Squire. I am bass player and ive learned a lot seeing videos like this.
@@TheAutumnWind_RN4L Thanks for the encouragement. I am over 60 and have been trying to play guitar since 1974. Because of Yes. But I still don’t play their tunes
I am so happy for you man! I was hoping someone who was actually at the concert would comment. That must have been amazing! I was in my teens at the time and couldn't afford to go to concerts, so I never got to see Yes, but as a keyboardist, I have always been in awe of Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson (of ELP).
The genius. The masterpiece that it is. I expect that, when I pass on, if there is an afterlife, Yes's body of music will accompany me throughout the vast expanse of eternity. The Beatles, Tears for Fears, and a few others will also see me through the ages.
And sadly, the cameraman almost never gives him a frame, esp playing this incredible bass part...shameful! Chris Squire kills on Roundabout, the reason SO many bassists went out and bought Roto Sounds for their basses! RIP Chris Squire, you were a monsta!
I'm glad a lot of people have been introduced to this great group through JoJo. Honestly that's the best part of the show's impact, introducing people who would never have listened to this type of music to it
First concert i attended was this movie. I was already a Yes fan. Would go on to see them 20+ times. Truly the best: music and message. Rip, Chris and Alan your energy is missed, but your thoughts and message rings clear. Peace and Love.
Yes is absolutely heaven-sent. One of the best things to happen to the rock music. Instrumentation, lyrics, philosophy - a glimmer of hope in this mad world engulfed in darkness. It makes you feel great.
There was this one update to youtube a few months back that automatically loaded mid roll ads to All Videos. Channel owners had to edit EVERY SINGLE ONE to remove the adds. Thanks a lot UA-cam and Google. You aholes
Ridiculously epic. Long hair, PJ's and capes. These guys were rock gods. I love this.The level of groove, rock, funk and melody is off the charts. They don't make 'em like this anymore. RIP Chris Squire.
RIP Chris Squire. You inspired me to pick up a bass guitar along with millions more who are much more talented than I. I am lucky to have heard your music.
+jerry0145 Don't cut yourself short, playing an instrument in itself is a great talent so you sir should be proud, not anyone can just pick up an instrument and play
Rip Chris Squire saw Yes in concert with cousins blew it out the water Chris lit it up came out on Black and white leopard pattern suit I was mesmerized whole band was great that time signature almost off time but not our of time
Steve Howe plays with such intensity and yet makes it look effortlessly I still get chills watching this video after all these years. Thanks to Yes for all the great music over the years
blica 1 that level of musicianship is still around, you just have to go to technical death metal shows to witness it, hehe. seriously though, 80's hair metal and glam rock bands turned all the nerdy shredders into the shadows where they continue to lurk, creating things like "The Animation Of Entomology" by Blotted Science.. :D That album is a direct descendent of 70's prog.
***** You cant compare the 3 man band to any band with more members. Which Yes member would you remove to compare them to Rush? Both are awesome and if you include the Police and a few others you have my favorites.
Amazing beyond words. I'd never seen this clip before. Steve Howe is a complete animal in this one. Just the greatest band ever. All top shelf musicians.
If I could play like that I'd wear a cape too. I think if every musician were forced to wear a cape live, music would be much better than it is today, 'cause if you wear a cape, you'd better be good.
As a kid, listening to the studio version and the YESSONGS version, this one is the highest standard that could never be improved. This version and only this version is the kick ass version ever. If someone asked me to play Roundabout, this would be the version always to play. PERIOD. The way Rick and Steve are in Sync is the best.
Playing guitar in the 70s, as I did, and hearing Steve Howe playing the solos and riffs, as he did, was a sound, we will never hear again; ever. We boomers were lucky to have heard this music...
This was the seventies... Wow, that was a while ago I didn't know that tbh but I really like this song I got into it through Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (as the other guy in the comments of this comment said) but I wanted to hear more of it and I like it, so 🤷🏻♂️
I've been going back trying to figure out what he plays in the live version of this song and I nearly broke my guitar cause of how angry I got that I couldn't play it
Graduated high-school in 72 and this song was huge back then. FM radio was just starting to take off and this whole album was being played. Just awesome memories.
@@conniecroyle9459 A japanese anime called Jojo's bizzarre adventure used this song for season 1 ending, and each character has their own inherent skill.. which is called 'stand'
I'm 48, and I first heard the amazing Yes song when I was about 3. After forty five years of listening to this song, it's still as amazing as it ever was! Cheers from Ohio!
Man this is a LIVE version and sounds just as great if not better than the recording. Puts modern bands to absolute shame. Mr. Squire, the world needs more musicians like you and in your honour I'm gonna surround myself with the bravest and most unafraid musicians I know.
Steve Howe is one of the greatest and most underrated musicians and instrumentalists... not to mention all of his work behind the scenes. Big Yes fan since the 70's, for sure. Fragile being my favorite album. Well done! 👏
Une de mes chansons préférée en 1970 , c 'était superbe pour l'époque ,imprésionnante elle enflamait notre communoté de jeunesse de par sa présence.Elle demeure un hit des plus musicale .Merci pour le partage .
Whoever said that youth is wasted on the young has obviously never seen Yes in action. These young guys were really powerhouses of talent and this well before the days of social media and mass marketing. Simply outstanding musicianship that is not to be repeated.
Yes is one of my favorite groups a matter of fact here is my top 5 Groups of all time : number 1) The Beatles, 2) Chicago, 3) America, 4) Yes, 5) Moody Blues.
Steve Howe is awesome. Possibly and likely the best guitar players ever. I only saw YES on their Big Generator tour. Going to see them this summer on their current tour. They are coming through Texas so I am lucky.
This song is almost FIFTY YEARS OLD! Absolutely mind-blowing how it still rocks millions of people after all this time. True rock never fades away!

Whoever said that youth is wasted on the young has obviously never seen Yes in action. These young guys were really powerhouses of talent and this well before the days of social media and mass marketing. Simply outstanding musicianship that is not to be repeated.
Excellent!
This song blew me away the first time I heard it.
Yes is one of my favorite groups a matter of fact here is my top 5 Groups of all time : number 1) The Beatles, 2) Chicago, 3) America, 4) Yes, 5) Moody Blues.
Saw them in the old Boston Garden in 79’. Great show! I think they had a revolving stage.
Just the very best. Got to see "Yes " twice. I was a teenager. Great memories ❤️
Steve Howe is awesome. Possibly and likely the best guitar players ever. I only saw YES on their Big Generator tour. Going to see them this summer on their current tour. They are coming through Texas so I am lucky.
Steve Howe, Julian Bream, Andres Segovia, Allan Holdsworth, Chet Atkins, and maybe Roy Clark.
Thanks Alan, thanks for coming.
One of the first songs I ever heard on FM and in stereo. It was the most amazing thing I had heard, still love it.
