Advice from a grey-beard to youngsters today. Attend live concerts of your favorite musical acts whenever you can. The things that you have, cars, clothes, gadgets will be long forgotten. But the concerts will be forever memories that you'll cherish. Bands break up. Members pass away. See them live now. You might not get another chance.
Those days are long gone.. 🙁Anybody born after the early 80's will never know the wonder, amazement and hypnotic affect, of sitting on the mainfloor, listening and seeing in person, some of most exceptional artists perform such well written compositions,.. and all that, for just $7.50 😊
The great Chris Squire, gone and not forgotten. Steve Howe is a virtuoso. Rick Wakeman stands with Keith Emerson as the keyboard god of the era. And the enigmatic voice of Jon Anderson. Yes was an anchor point of my musical education. Thank you.
The whole stucture of this song is genius. Steve Howe's acoustic 12 string virtuosity playing perfect, the late Chris Squire with his dominant bass introduction for Howe to deliver the chordal piece and then Jon Anderson. My God, there is nothing like YES. Thank God I grew up with this music and band.
I thank god too. Almost forgot that loving feeling from back when. But it still comes thru. This song and Yes hit me deep back when i was young. You got 16 like all of them over 70 years old/ like me.
No one knows how meaningful Yes was to me as a young teen. They probably saved my life by filling my heart with their music beyond what I thought was possible. It helped me weather setbacks.
We really did have superior music back in the day. The variety... the talent.. the uniqueness.. the artistry. Each group had its signature sound, and YES was soooo true to such distinctiveness. So rich... so different... so gratifying. Jon Anderson's soaring tenor voice is unmatched, yet the guitar work is seductive, as well. 10 minutes of pure heaven... wow.
Oh how I miss the music of the late '60's through the '70's...music today really sucks. The big "stars" of today don't have the talent these guys have in their pinkies. Bands like Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, ABB...now THAT was music...
Hmmm you're not really searching!!! For example check Patrick watson's bollywood...or hearts...of course YES is on another level but these watson tracks are delightful!!!
@brucesilverman ...and Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Deep Peuple, Jeff Beck were very good too. But listen Steve Reich's music like "electric counterpoint" and many other pièces : it is awesome music.
My first time I seen this band @ William & Mary College in 71 I was stationed in Hampton, VA also seen a few times in Cincinnati and Dayton OH. Always one my favorite all time.
There's NOTHING today in the so called music industry that can TOUCH this!! Thank you YES for being part of the tapestry of our lives! You should be proud of the contribution you made to peoples lives! You are PURE talent and happiness! You can't imagine the joy and meaning you brought into peoples lives!! I thank you from the bottom of me heart!
Saw them in concert when topographical oceans came out.. absolutely the greatest band I have ever seen..and I have been a dj...and a musical band photographer..my jaw was on the ground the whole concert 9th row..center..Forum, Los Angeles
King Crimson, Genesis the Foxtrot tour. Not better but easily as good. 2nd time I saw Yes was Topographic Oceans great performance but as many critics complained, over long. I fell asleep during the 3rd movement
@@victorlamothe6732 Chris Squire passed away, yes, but his legacy as a player is preserved. Their classic piece was Close to the Edge and this may have been a close second. Go back to Fragile and listen to his solo piece, The Fish
That was just STUNNING, I saw them live in 1978, so I know how good they are. There aren't many bands that can come close to YES Live, truly UNTOUCHABLE
@@chriscoughlan5221 It was Stafford Bingley Hall, truly amazing live, how they play live like they do on their studio albums. A proper supergroup. Close to the edge down by the river, seasons will by you by, i get up i get down, fantastic
@@davehooper5115 I almost didn't see them, I lost my ticket and had to wait til the last person entered the hall!!!! They mustve pittied me!!! Happy me!!
Saw them twice and the second was in the round at MSG. "Tormato" tour? ANyway we snuck down inside the first five rows then begged seated patrons to let us kneel there and we shared joints. Awesome show. Incredible.
When younger, much younger, l saw YES and JETHRO TULL many times. 5 times and 4 times respectively. Last YES concert l saw, my buddy and l got tickets for 6-8 friends. We all rode together in a van. Kept secret about the tickets, handed them out at the gate, 3rd ROW to see YES on the revolving stage with WAKEMAN on keboards, wearing his cape. Everybody was blown away about the seats. Absolutely a blast. Two of my ALL TIME favorites.
This song blew my young mind at 13. It encapsulates some of humanities very few saving graces. Creativity , curiosity and of course , love. Anderson reaching out to the cosmos for higher wisdom, then looking back at himself and us for appreciation and reflection.Hope in a future governed by reason over superstition. And in one of music's most serendipitous moments, finds himself in a band filled with the brightest and most talented musicians to score it perfectly.
Eduards...tienes pasión por la narración poética ..yo no lo podría expresar..de esa manera ..un saludo ..desde México...yes..es el grupo más infravalorado de fama en México....yo los escucho desde 1976
God how I miss the 20th century! Picture Perfect & Amazing rendition from this Band! Omg! tears in my eyes now! All those fond fond memories of friends & family who are gone & lost
When i first heard Yes back in my college days i was hooked. I can be taken back to a specific day and time when i hear Yes. So talented. So creative. They made their mark in music history. I can only say thank you.
Well, i think this is the best song I've ever hear, it's marvelous but sweet , with a lot of temp they make a very difficult song , nobody's make a talentous work like YES , simply the perfect song of all time , thank you YES for existing.
Posiblemente la mejor versión de esta canción en directo, pasarán 100 años y seguirá sonando igual de bien, las obras de arte no caducan y esto es una maravilla.
One of the best intros ever for a song. Still hold this thought since I was 8 years old listening to the 7 inch on my brother's turntable back in the early 70's.
I was also there in Philadelphia on July 12-13, 1991 during the Yes Fest event at the Sheraton and in the round at the Spectrum. That Friday performance still ranks as one of the best concert experiences I ever witnessed.
Wow I would have loved to see Yes in concert I’m a fan from the 1980s MTV “Owner of a Lonely Heart”and I had a YES record album Fragile it had Runabout and another big hit was “I’ve seen all good people “which got a lot of radio airplay back then around here.
My first concert.YES. New Haven Colosseum. My sister, older took me. I was in fourth grade. 68.1972. Amazing concert. Remember saying to my sister,” What’s that smell?”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ahhhh, To be young again, I think the tickets were Six dollars each. Very sad because everything is so inflated and expensive. Nowadays, you can’t enjoy too much unless they have a lot of money. That’s awful. We had such great music.
Jon Anderson never did better than when he sang this. My man Wakeman on keyboards is what I would have loved to emulate but quickly learned that level of musician is genius and above my dreams. Love this forever❤
Wow, I'm a huge YES fan and never knew all - or most - of past and present YES members played together on one stage. Phenomenal. The only time I saw them was with the Buggles/Yes hybrid in Madison Square Garden, which wasn't terrible as it was still a thrill to see Squire and Howe live. But, would've loved to have seen the line up in this video!
This is a bit of a late reply but I never knew that they all got together or as close together as possible. I was a huge fan of yes growing up in the seventies and decided I didn't like them anymore when the buggles came along because some magazine told me to dislike them. After that life came along kids and everything else and just recently like a year and a half ago rediscovered them. I could kick myself. There's some good music out there like Godsmack and others but there's a whole lot of garbage. These guys were musicians and this will stand the test of time
I saw the Union tour. The stage was round and slowly rotated as the band played. Both incarnations of the band played together and very well. A band with controllable egos is not heard of but they managed to check theirs at the door.
I saw them on the Union tour and it was the best of many, many YES concerts that I have attended. Their performance of Awaken was pure magic and transported me to another dimension (without any mind altering chemicals). No other concert did that before or since.
My college roommate introducted me to Yes in 1973 and I was never the same. Steve Howe inspired me to play guitar. What a collection of talented players.
I remember being preoccupied with marveling at how they were all on the stage together, hoping for as much synergy as possible, and they did a great job. I can't believe it was that long ago, they all look so young, lol. Funny...I'm now Steve's age in this video, lol!
Probably my biggest regret in life... I had a ticket to see Yes in Louisville in 1979 and got the flu the day before the show. Sick as a dog with a fever so I couldn't go. All my friends (and brother) raved about the show and tormented me with their "In The Round" T-Shirts for years. I got the last laugh though when I got to see Wakeman play a 200 seat bar in Abu Dhabi at "The Club" in the mid 2000s. It was great because he joined everyone at the pub afterward (drinking only water) and we talked till the wee hours. Great memory with one of, if not THE greatest keyboard player ever. Regaled us with stories about being uncredited and unpaid by Cat Stevens, buying a racehorse from the royal family, living in a windmill in Holland... a night I'll never forget!! Thanks for the music and the memories and congrats Sir Rick for being named a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire!
Saw this Union event at Wembley, along with other Yes concerts, the best experiences ever. Musically and emotionally unsurpassable. Jon Anderson irreplaceable.
There are so many components to a great Yes song, but one that may get overlooked are the backing vocals. Squire and Howe backbones to Anderson's beautiful angelic voice. Also try to find the lyrics to the backing vocals on this song. So cool.
I remember hearing this for the first time in 1975 on the midnight album hour on WROQ 95.1FM in Charlotte, NC. RIP Chris Squire. I will never forget you brother.
Saw them in Toronto for the first time on this tour. Wow! I'd never been to a big concert before and the stadium was packed. I think Jon waved at me when I waved. Haha! A typical fan. I was young, but to hear them play live and perform the music as good as and often better than the album production told me they were/are one of the greatest bands on Earth.
My very first live concert was seeing Yes in February of 1974 during the “Tales From Topographic Oceans” Tour. Saw them four times after that during the ‘70s. They were such a big part of my life as an adolescent and I’ll always be grateful I grew up in a time when music was transcendent. The musical landscape has suffered the same fate as the natural one during the intervening years.
Cobo Hall - Detroit My friend Chris' older brother had a record collection that would've rivaled any of the FM stations. Thought the albums were terrific, but live.. blew me away. Anytime they were inntown, we were there; $8.50 Mainfloor !
Anderson at his best, surrounded by the finest musicians ever, and still in full command of the stage, with a grace and power that his substitute can only dream of. And I really liked Benoit in the latest Yes studio album, but I just don't think he can walk in Anderson's shoes as a frontman of this mighty band.
No sé pero: está agrupación para mí es como una lámpara mágica tiene un sin fin de composiciones bellísimas llevándola a ser toda una obra maestra de muy alto nivel me gusta mucho EL YES
Ich bin mit Yes aufgewachsen und liebe diese Musik, vor allen Dingen die Stimme von John Anderson....für mich ist diese Musik überirdisch genial!!! Leider war mein letzter Konzertbesuch etwas enttäuschen end, da John Anderson nicht dabei war.
This song and I have history. I became a Yes fan at a young age, I am the youngest of 4, my oldest brothers introduced me to Classic Rock in elementary school. My brother Tom bought Yessongs album for my 18th birthday. And you and I quickly became my favorite Yes song. As fate has it, we were listening to that song when our grandfather passed away. We lived in his house, and he was a huge influence on us. I was the baby so we were very close. It was no coincidence that " And you and I " was playing
I saw.them.all the time.in México city... In1999 (palacio de los deportes) this song deserved an standing ovation for several minutes A masterpiece, a privilege
Extraordinarios. Este tour realizado por Yes fue de los mejores que he escuchado. Todos los integrantes muestran su calidad interpretativa individual, que en el conjunto alcanza una música magistral.

Well said brother
record them with your phone, too
Real playing of instruments, real singing, real and interesting music, bring it back👨🏻🦳
Yes!!!
100000000000000000000000.....(there are not enough zeros) % agree!
Just perfection
So powerful and beautiful! Makes my heart sing!

Amen. Yes was an ideal standard to which all rock groups should aspire. Not copy, but aspire. Exquisite song writers and performers.
hear hear!
This is the song that got me into Yes. Had to have it. Ended up buying the album to get it. Then I heard Close To The Edge.
Yes es una explosión de creatividad musical sublime, tremendos músicos,Anderson la vos de Dios!!!!👏
Tony banks was up there with those two

No one knows how meaningful Yes was to me as a young teen. They probably saved my life by filling my heart with their music beyond what I thought was possible. It helped me weather setbacks.
Sigo a la capa....

Me too.
I think the same.
We know.

So rich... so different... so gratifying. Jon Anderson's soaring tenor voice is unmatched, yet the guitar work is seductive, as well.
10 minutes of pure heaven... wow.
Totally agree. Everything now is derivative and reductive.
When I listen to the mindless shit called music now I fear for my grandchildren 😮
Could not say it better
There is no sound like new acoustic guitar strings!
Absolutely we did have the music.
Man what a time we grew up in ♥️♥️
Oh how I miss the music of the late '60's through the '70's...music today really sucks. The big "stars" of today don't have the talent these guys have in their pinkies. Bands like Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, ABB...now THAT was music...

I saw Chris in Houston.
He stole the show.
See you soon Chris.

As do I. Only Jon Baptiste comes close.
yes from germany ,,, long time ago and still feeling it.
This is like a prog rock masterclass. Stunning!!!
ABSOLUTELY, AMEM.
Gotta be one their best songs. It rings with my soul and makes me happy hearing opening notes with Steve and rick.
I saw them do it live and I still get chills every time I hear it!
I saw them live too. They’re the best!
Yes, of course it's one of their best songs. And Close to the Edge is one of their best albums.
Holy shit! Best song ever! Best guitarist ever! Steve Howe killed this! Nothing like old 70 rock! I saw them in concert twice!!! Awesome!
Steve Howe, Chris squire, and ?
Estás en lo cierto...steve.howe..es el genio musical de yes..Pero todos lo son también...jamás veremos..una unión..de genios en un grupo..
I know I shit my my brains out on this one when I was 13 years year old😭🥰🤣🤣🤣
Definitely one of the most beautiful and creative pieces in the Yes catalog!
Agree with you 100%
Uhh, but what about....no, uh, but then there's....uh, I guess you're right.
in any catalog
Also my favourite. Seen them many times. I still go to concerts when they are playing in Newcastle upon Tyne.
not the best version, don't know why, everybody's here but something apathetic
RIP Chris Squire, fantastic bass & vocals !
⁰
What a beautiful piece of music and what a band.
Rick Wakeman,Tony Kaye, Bill Bruford, Allen White, Steve Howe Trevor Rabin, seriously what more could you ask for in a Yes concert
Maybe Jon Anderson on vocals and Chris Squire on bass…but that would be it.
How could you not mention Chris and Jon.
I would ask for there never to have been any one called Trevor to ever have been involved.
E L P
You couldn't ask for more they were the best
Never heard a band that was more in sync than Yes. Phenomenal artists.
Saw them in concert when topographical oceans came out.. absolutely the greatest band I have ever seen..and I have been a dj...and a musical band photographer..my jaw was on the ground the whole concert
9th row..center..Forum, Los Angeles

Did they not lose there bass player RIP years after this.
@@victorlamothe6732 Yes, sadly he passed away in 2015, due to acute myeloid leukemia.

That was just STUNNING, I saw them live in 1978, so I know how good they are. There aren't many bands that can come close to YES Live, truly UNTOUCHABLE

unforgettable group I am almost eigthy but it is still a great joy to listen to their music
enjoy
70 for me and likewise
Man, being close to the stage at one of these In-The-Round concerts must have been like a damn religious experience or something.
Saw them twice and the second was in the round at MSG. "Tormato" tour? ANyway we snuck down inside the first five rows then begged seated patrons to let us kneel there and we shared joints. Awesome show. Incredible.
Went to this concert with a friend; we were not that close to the stage, but it was fucking awesome.
Love your comment and have too been there @ Winterland Post&Steiner SF Baby. We were the lucky ones
Yes, it was! The early 1980s show at UIUC in the round was unreal.
Word there is no doubt
Jon Anderson has the best voice in rock. Angelic.
That's too generous, most unique voice in symphonic prog, IMHO.
When younger, much younger, l saw YES and JETHRO TULL many times. 5 times and 4 times respectively. Last YES concert l saw, my buddy and l got tickets for 6-8 friends. We all rode together in a van. Kept secret about the tickets, handed them out at the gate, 3rd ROW to see YES on the revolving stage with WAKEMAN on keboards, wearing his cape. Everybody was blown away about the seats. Absolutely a blast. Two of my ALL TIME favorites.
Wow! What an awesome surprise!!!!
These two bands were the heroes of my youth in the 70s... not the only ones, but the most important ones
I saw them October 1978 in Las Cruces New Mexico on that revolving stage. Killer light show. Blew me away.
This song blew my young mind at 13. It encapsulates some of humanities very few saving graces. Creativity , curiosity and of course , love.

This is a three-year late reply I have to agree with you I just wish they would have kept John in a group the song is pushing and very memorable to me
You're so correct with that I hope you get this
Just realised this song was released 50 years ago. Close to the edge was the first rock LP i ever bought and had the most amazing album cover ever.
Me too.
+1. I first heard the organ part from Close to the Edge in a Gead shop, pipes and black light posters, 1972
A musical masterpiece created by one of the finest bands that this planet has seen, with Jons voice just sublime
Fantastic - sounds like a Symphony Orchestra with all the members!
YES por siempre, inmortal......el mejor grupo de rock progresivo.
Chris Squire AND Steve Howe AND Rick Wakeman.... 🥰👏👏👏🙌
Posiblemente la mejor versión de esta canción en directo, pasarán 100 años y seguirá sonando igual de bien, las obras de arte no caducan y esto es una maravilla.
Tak dzieło sztuki muzyka instrumenty wokal wszystko na tak
Owner of a lonely heart ...also!
I always get a kick out of Steve's "You should be amazed by this" look while he plays guitar.
I was always amazed. I used to glare at my stereo with my guitar in hand. AMAZED
What a great comment, thought the same but you put it into words!
And we always were...
Howue..Steve ...es el genio de YES..
I was just gonna say the same thing !
This music truly is timeless. How lucky we were to witness talent like this in their prime. Nothing today compares.
Desde Chile. Extraordinario!!!
One of the best intros ever for a song. Still hold this thought since I was 8 years old listening to the 7 inch on my brother's turntable back in the early 70's.
Bill Bruford is ridiculous good and the Thunder god Alan White. Cmon, it's too good. Still can't believe I got to see them on this tour. So grateful
I know! Me too. East Rutherford NJ.. It was phenomenal!
I was also there in Philadelphia on July 12-13, 1991 during the Yes Fest event at the Sheraton and in the round at the Spectrum. That Friday performance still ranks as one of the best concert experiences I ever witnessed.
I never knew they did this together, so cool. It must be so hard to play with bill’s quirky unique style
@@TXMusicDrummer I stayed at that Sheraton for the Grateful Dead in 1994.

Definitively one of the best pieces of music ever made. A gift for the mankind!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Such an incredible band , Chris Squire and Allan White are definitely missed !
If I’m not mistaken, I believe that was Bill Bruford on the drums for this piece, not White. Bill Bruford is also a phenomenal drummer!
def one of the best live versions of this song ever

We had such great music.
I went by myself at age 11 They played in Cincinnati .
I still remember my first live concert of Emerson, Lake and Palmer in 1974 in Rotterdam. Later the show of Genesis and Yes. . Good memories.
Jon Anderson never did better than when he sang this. My man Wakeman on keyboards is what I would have loved to emulate but quickly learned that level of musician is genius and above my dreams. Love this forever❤
His vocals on The friends of Mr Cairo with Vangelis Tribute album to the old time Hollywood greats equally great ❤️
El mejor grupo de rock sinfónico de todos los tiempos
Simplemente maravilloso !!!! 🙏

My college roommate introducted me to Yes in 1973 and I was never the same. Steve Howe inspired me to play guitar. What a collection of talented players.
They each were virtuoso in their own right but together they just blew EVERYONE away!
After seeing YES many times, this just brings a peace to my soul unimaginable.
Every concert is a once in a lifetime mini miracle never to be duplicated again!

Saw this Union event at Wembley, along with other Yes concerts, the best experiences ever. Musically and emotionally unsurpassable. Jon Anderson irreplaceable.
Check out Norman Watt-Roy, Anthony Harty and Gerry McEvoy. If you love bass, you will love these guys.
Una joya ,me Súper encanta esta canción y sigo escuchando a YES desde hace mas de 50 años🎉🎉🎉
There are so many components to a great Yes song, but one that may get overlooked are the backing vocals. Squire and Howe backbones to Anderson's beautiful angelic voice. Also try to find the lyrics to the backing vocals on this song. So cool.
Some of the most complex music in rock and roll ever written by these guys. Don't you just love it
I so long for a modern artist that can tingle my spine as Yes could. I remember seeing them "in the round". What a memory.
Chris Squire you amazing musician...RIP. miss you so much.
Whew! STEVE HOWE..♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I will never forget the first time I heard this. To see them play this live now leaves me in total astonishment.
I was blessed to see this tour in South Florida! A memory I'll cherish forever!
I love the way Howe still enjoys playing his songs so much! This song is freaking timeless!
A magical musical creation by one of the best bands EVER!!!
This is my favorite " YES" let's all have a " yes" party gathering. Sometimes I feel I'm the only one .
so phenomenal. Basically playing classical music, but no sheets, no conductor, and like 7 dudes instead of more than 30. Pretty impressive.
I remember hearing this for the first time in 1975 on the midnight album hour on WROQ 95.1FM in Charlotte, NC. RIP Chris Squire. I will never forget you brother.
Saw them in Toronto for the first time on this tour. Wow! I'd never been to a big concert before and the stadium was packed. I think Jon waved at me when I waved. Haha! A typical fan. I was young, but to hear them play live and perform the music as good as and often better than the album production told me they were/are one of the greatest bands on Earth.
At Maple Leaf Gardens, mate? I saw them twice there, and interviewed Jon Anderson at the nearby Sutton Place hotel.
@@ashleyjudecollie wow! Lucky you. I would have loved to have met them, of course
I was at the same concert! I'm pretty sure Jon was waving at me too. :)
temazo. para escuchar 1.000.000 de veces. puesto
Simplesmente espectacular!
Absolutely sublime music. I was fortunate to witness this performed from the fourth row center once.
Great music, RIP CS
There's nothing better than this just a comment from an old man
My very first live concert was seeing Yes in February of 1974 during the “Tales From Topographic Oceans” Tour. Saw them four times after that during the ‘70s. They were such a big part of my life as an adolescent and I’ll always be grateful I grew up in a time when music was transcendent. The musical landscape has suffered the same fate as the natural one during the intervening years.
My story is much the same except my first concert was 1977 Yes in the Round Houston Coliseum
Cobo Hall - Detroit My friend Chris' older brother had a record collection that would've rivaled any of the FM stations. Thought the albums were terrific, but live.. blew me away. Anytime they were inntown, we were there; $8.50 Mainfloor !
My 1st Yes concert many years ago. Just a lad then,76 now and still rate them as one of the best bands ever. So much talent, live and real music 😊
I love this group. They are ethereal. They take me in a very soulful trip.❤
Anderson at his best, surrounded by the finest musicians ever, and still in full command of the stage, with a grace and power that his substitute can only dream of. And I really liked Benoit in the latest Yes studio album, but I just don't think he can walk in Anderson's shoes as a frontman of this mighty band.
only a word: monsters!!!!! i love them
No sé pero: está agrupación para mí es como una lámpara mágica tiene un sin fin de composiciones bellísimas llevándola a ser toda una obra maestra de muy alto nivel me gusta mucho EL YES
This song touches the deepest fibers of my being with the most profound joy. 🙏
Awesome, saw in 1971, In Philly 💖💖 With Bobby
The "Mona Lisa" of music.
But of course being from a true masterpiece of an album.
Nice memories… I saw them during this world tour. So many years ago…And still one of the best performance I’ve seen in my life (62 yo now).
Great Yes, great song..., yes indeed!
Steve Howe has got to be my favourite guitarist. No cliches with string bending etc.. A slightly classical style all of his own. Absolutely lovely.
A time in rock music where musicians were extremely good, good arrangement & song writing meant something and
live performance was magnificent.
Ich bin mit Yes aufgewachsen und liebe diese Musik, vor allen Dingen die Stimme von John Anderson....für mich ist diese Musik überirdisch genial!!!
Leider war mein letzter Konzertbesuch etwas enttäuschen end, da John Anderson nicht dabei war.
This song and I have history. I became a Yes fan at a young age, I am the youngest of 4, my oldest brothers introduced me to Classic Rock in elementary school. My brother Tom bought
Yessongs album for my 18th birthday. And you and I quickly became my favorite Yes song.
As fate has it, we were listening to that song when our grandfather passed away. We lived in his house, and he was a huge influence on us. I was the baby so we were very close. It was no coincidence that " And you and I " was playing
I saw them live in Santiago - Chile in the 90's. It was Amazing!!!
The best group ever to me
Steven me also,I’m 61 seen them 7 times throughout the years,thru all there band members fantastic music
So much talent on one stage. It is overwhelming.
Talent here is off the charts to pull this off live, a rock symphony with with Andersons voice rising above all the musicians, amazing band.
I saw.them.all the time.in México city... In1999 (palacio de los deportes) this song deserved an standing ovation for several minutes
A masterpiece, a privilege
Sublime.el cielo en la tierra con el paraíso incluido .
Brilliant ! :)
💕
Amazing - absolutely love this one
YES, when music was real, we will sadly never see their like again.
Extraordinarios. Este tour realizado por Yes fue de los mejores que he escuchado. Todos los integrantes muestran su calidad interpretativa individual, que en el conjunto alcanza una música magistral.
