- Del programa de la BBC "The Old Grey Whistle", en 1975 dos temas del primer álbum solista de Chris Squire, "Hold Out Your Hand" y "You By My Side". Presten atención al arreglo de cuerdas y metales al final y, sobre todo, las campanas tubulares. Qué tiempos!
"Fish Out of Water"was hands down the best solo album of any Yes member past or present. Chris Squire's legacy is secure for generations to come !!!###
Olias 0:05 was superb solo work too... but FOOW was powerful
its definitely between bruford and squire solo projects. But both were a bit different, Squire went to english progressive rock and the bruford solo albums touch on jazz fusion.
I bought my Rickenbacker 4001 in midnite blue after i heard Chris. I later met him and got to talk with him several times,what an honor
Im 72 now my Ricke nbacker is in front of me still. I still play the 1973 liverecording of Heart of the Sunrise, Chris's bass solo is my all time favorite, i listen to it every day. God bless you Chris you are sorely missed..
Was the wearing a bathrobe when you met him?
RIP Chris Squire - died 6/27/15 of leukemia. One of the most influential bass players ever.
Chris Squire's voice makes me feel good for some reason.
yes
me too
reminds me of Sting's voice.
Look up the Cinema version of "It Can Happen," with Chris at lead vocal, rather than Jon.
He was a St. Paul's choirboy. Plus, he was Chris Squire.
I always hope someone who went on the 1978 Cross country trip from Flushing, Queens would see this comment. Someone had the cassette. I think his name was Jeff. I kept trying to record it in a quiet place. Using a microphone of another cassette recorder. I had already been in love with Yes for year's by then, (15 years old) - but didn't realize Chris had a solo album. Around the first time I saw Yes live at Nassau Coliseum after Rick left, and Moraz jumped in. It was the Relayer tour. I loved Chris Squire so much. He touched my heart deeply. He's gone a few years now. Keith Emerson, and Greg Lake...all gone. I'm not afraid to die. I believe I will be at an eternal concert....watching all my hero's. And hugging my Dad.
Perfect example of the fact that Chris's vocal range was almost as wide as Jon's...and why together they expressed one voice.
Jon has such an interesting timbre but it’s still set much higher than Chris’s. I would place jon a countertenor with Chris as a tenor who could reach all the way up there (wondrous stories)
@@hpatss4966 and markkens9 Indeed. See my above comment. I've always known Chris Squire's vocal harmonies to be a key component to Yes' success. Even as a solo vocalist this video reinforces that fact.
Hahaha....not on his best day could he hold Jon's jockstrap vocally. Top 3 bassist of all time though imho.
Nailed it !
Many of Squire's harmonies were actually higher than Anderson's voice/ check out live Long Distance Runaround/ he was brought up in the church choir !!!###
The quintessential rock icon. Tall, good looking, great hair, great voice and the greatest bass guitarist ever, rivaled only by (maybe) Jaco. But he wrote more awesome lines and great tunes, for sure. I want to cry every time I think of his legacy. He was the best. Rest in peace in the arms of God, Chris.
I love Jaco, but Chris is definitely my all time favorite bass guitarist. Chris brought the bass to the forefront of the progressive rock sound. The bass is always loud in every Yes song he played on. He was just incredible!
The best hair !
But enough about me...
Chris was the man.
Best smile and sense of fun
The Master on drums💫
lip syncing though
@@morbidmanmusic This was a promotional video originally so not a live performance. You just get what you hear on the record.
Bill Bruford!
Bill being there makes me happy. 🙂
It's a shame that FOOW never got the acclaim is so rightly deserved........and never followed up. THE best bass player ever. R.I.P. Chris....you will be sorely missed.
One of my favourite albums. I bought it when it came out and still have it and play it often. The best bass player ever? Well I can't think of a better one... :)
@@BoingBB a friend burned it for me and I distinctly remember driving across the Nevada desert with it blasting.....
In my personal opinion, this was the best progressive rock album ever. Yeah - I said it. Pure perfection.
I swear I shed more tears when Chris Squire died then when either of my parents died. As a bassist myself he is my idol and inspiration.

The voice of an angel. That's all I can say.
i don't believe in angel but it was a beautiful voice ...

Chris Squire was a choir boy (all 6'6" of him) and had an incredible sense of harmony. No innovated the bass, he played it as a guitar and I loved his lines. He never lost his musicianship. Fish out of Water is such an undersung album, and perfect one at that. When I read the obit this morning I listened to this on the bus this morning and I shed tears. RIP, Mr. Squire, I hope you join the choir in the afterlife, your sense of harmony and good tenor voice will be much appreciated. Just try to get a good playing of The Fish in there somewhere. You will be very much missed.
Chris was 6'4 not 6'6.
No he was 6'6" in his youth. After his back surgery in 1998 he shrunk down to 6'4". 1 inch shorter than 6'5" Rick Wakeman.
According to Keith Emerson, he approached Squire to join a post Nice band with him. This was before he even met Greg Lake. Squire was interested, but didn't feel comfortable with a lead vocal assignment. In a parallel universe, *Tarkus* was released by a band called "ESP".
Adrian Lackey WOW NEVER KNEW THIS..COOL!! 8-)
+Adrian Lackey Thank the lord that didn't happen. Yes wouldn't be the same without Fish.
And Rick Wakeman was going to be a Spider from Mars - he was offered that gig before Yes asked him to join.
If so, then 1970 was the pivotal year for determining the characters of Yes, ELP, and KC as bands (Fripp declined join Yes; Squire didn't join ELP, leaving room for Lake (and -- almost incidentally -- Lake's strummy folk influence) ... in that parallel universe, Lake and Howe might have joined forces (and John Wetton joined Yes?)
Mind blown
When it's my time to die, I've instructed my family to play this piece of music - to keep playing it a full hour after I'm gone. I will go into the unknown - with Chris holding my hand.
Have this in vinyl... Signed by Chris...
Have this on CD... Signed by Chris ;)
Lucky You !!
What a treasure!!!!!❤❤❤❤
RIP to one of the greatest bassists ever....his music touched my heart
THE
Greatest.
Was the THE GREATEST and will be FOREVER.
Cant watch this without crying.
RIP Chris Squire. You changed my life.
Squire, Moraz and Bruford. Keyboard, Bass, Drum trio I would take over ELP any day. That's how I've always seen this record. I wish Squire had followed it up. To the bassists out there, go through these songs and learn them. Beautifully crafted basslines that are somewhat difficult to play even for the accomplished player. I'm 50 and I'm twice the player I was in my twenties. But Squire was in his twenties when he recorded Hold out YourHand, Lucky Seven etc..Even You by my side is difficult in that he switches up the scales each time he plays. He is my single favorite musician. So sorry he missed being abducted in to the RnR Hall of Fame. He waited so long and deserved much better.
I just read your comment and am currently imagining Chris being abducted by an alien spaceship, with all the other members of Yes, to the world painted by Dean that features on the front cover of Fragile
@@bassistwithadeathwish7277 I think the word he was looking for was "inducted" not abducted, a completely different meaning as you pointed out
@@thomassabino5440
I know, that was the joke
Thomas Sabino hey Thomas surprised to see someone with the same surname as me. I’m east coast US.
Well they did have quite the chemistry together... would have loved to have heard them on a small tour---with Jackman conducting local orchestras.....
This and Olias of Sunhillow My 2 Fav Yes Solo Albums of all time
My favorite solo album by all the Yes guys.Cool to see Bruford and Moraz in this clip as well. I loved all this stuff when I was in High School. Now these guys are gone,retired,or just old like me. It's a little sad but I'm glad we still have there music.
Oh, I loved this album too, but my favorite is Jon Anderson's "Olias of Sunhillow" - Yes and all its members... The best
@@ThePiculincba yep. then Wakeman's Criminal Record
I feel that only Chris could make the bass a lead guitar which he so masterfully demonstrates with this performance. The orchestral contribution is ingenious. We are so fortunate to have access to treasures like this one.
It's unfortunate that Bruford quit playing with Squire. They had a helluva groove, not to mention their individual genius.
All-time greatest rhythm section. Loved them with other people, but together, they were amazing!
He went from Squire to Wetton……just incredible rhythm sections.
Bill, it's ok to take your foot of the hi hat now and then 😉
@@jonp4846 Blasphemy! Get him!
Bill had bigger fish to fry... No pun intended.... With John wetton and jeff Berlin
This is Chris Squire's ultimate masterpiece! RIP, Fish! You (and your music) will never be forgotten!
Chris Squire was such a magnificent musician! He'll continue to live in our hearts!
Rest In Peace Chris!
I've seen this video several times. Even so I've not really seen the majesty of Chris Squire leading a whole orchestra with a rock n roll bass.
What a thoroughly unique and gifted musician. Thank you Chris.
fighting back tears.. of sadness and humble gratefulness for this man! What a beautiful set of songs.
I need that flute music.
This is so cool!!! I have never heard this before and first impression is WOW!! What a master bass player and a criminally underrated singer. I hear a lot of Yes in this, but perhaps that is the part that is Chris!
FOOW is a masterpiece and one of my favorite albums ever. Chris was an integral part of Yes and they are really missing something without him, imho.
I learned the whole of this album when I picked up the bass. It was a steep learning curve but was most def worth it in the end. If you can get comfortable with CS bass lines you're pretty much styling from the on - everything seems so simple afterwards. He basically pioneered the utilisation of the bass as an instrument as big as lead guitar. Btw, merry Christmas everyone.
Oh Chris, what a brilliant musician. So missed.
Yesterday was the day that I was finally able to say that I’m a proud owner of a Rickenbacker 4003S Fireglo bass! (Sort of looks like the bass Chris is playing in this video!) all of yesterday the day before, and even today so far this song has been playing in my head nonstop! I’ll love Chris Squire’s style and amazing bass playing forever ❤️ RIP Chris Squire♓️
You can feel it coming with the morning light
And you know the feelings, gonna make you feel
Alright
Almost close enough to,
Hold out your hand
Span the distance,
Store resistance,
To attack is to retreat
All you've got to do is
Hold out your hand
For the treasures of the Universe are lying at your feet.
You can hide it, lose it, but it's always found.
You can laugh it off, but it always comes,
Back on you, so true.
True is true enough to
Hold out your hand.
Forward motion
Life promotion
To reverse is to repeat
All you've got to do is
Hold out your hand
For the treasures of the Universe are lying at your feet.
Hold out your hand
Span the distance
Store resistance
To attack is to retreat.
Almost close enough to
Hold out your hand
For the treasures of the Universe are lying at your feet.
You know I love you
I can't be without you
When I'm alone, I still feel this way about you
Everything's clear
Here is here
And everything is as it appears to be so
Here am I dreaming
I stand by myself
Look and it's easy to see that
I'm not the only one reaching for a new kind of wealth
Reaching with nothing to hide
And you by my side
You know we love you
We can't be without you
When we're at home, we still feel this way about you
Everything's clear
Here is here
And everything is as it appears to be so,
Here we are dreaming
We stand by ourselves
Look and it's easy to see that
We're not the only ones reaching for a new kind of wealth
Reaching with nothing to hide
And you on our side
RIP to the best bassist there ever was!
He was with Jaco following closely behind
It takes my breath away
When in 1975, although a young guy, I first heard this maaterpiece I knew by instinct that a timeless music was made. Now, after 48 years I validate my prediction. RIP Chris.
I met him several times with my good friend late Gunnar Jokull who was the drummer of the Syn back in the summer of 66 when everything happend in rock'n roll. Chris use to call me "Maggi the pipe" (just tobacco) he was a great bass guitarist one of the best and a leader wherever he came . Good bless them.
There wouldn't be YES, if not for you. Thank you for you genius, ability, and for being an inspiration to this goofy kid from Toronto with a bass and some wacky ideas on how to play it. RIP Chris Squire 1948-2015, from one of your many fans here in Canada.
+Phil Wood Do you mean Geddy Lee?
Very nice words man. I can definitely relate. Yes music made a place in the world for people like us... even at my young age of 21. I’m not too far from you. I’m in Caledonia Ontario.
@@olganesterowicz Just because he’s from Canada doesn’t mean that he’s a Rush fan.
Squire and geddy lee. Only bass players ever to play the bass like a lead instrument. Amazing
And John Entwistle...we can never forget the monster he was.
Así es, amigo Entwisle fue genial gran bajista de the Who un genio en el bajo
Remember seeing Chris on TV years ago, when he released Fish out of Water. Hold out your hand mesmerised me. The combination of the Angelic voice, that excuisite bass tone and technique and wonderful songs, totally unbeatable. R.I.P Chris, you're sorely missed😇
Best prog rock song of the era and one of the best albums . Incredible musician so missed by all of us who listened to his music .
You just have to love the guy. Everything he played was special.
Easily as good as any Yes album. RIP Chris
Saddened to hear of Chris Squire's death.He was an amazingly talented musician,singer,song writer,and performer.This song.."Hold out your hand" attests to his musical brilliance.His music and legend will live on.Rest in peace.
Chris, I will never forget your timeless sound and talent.
I believe the organ is just situationally perfect for Chris's baseline? This stuff is so beyond anything on the Earth! Hey Steven Wilson! Are you listening!
Adored his work and played his bass lines for well over 40 years ... still miss him like crazy ...
One of the greatest bassists of all time
Damn i'm crying, rest in peace Mr. Squire!
I saw Yes in 1977,78 and 79 in St. Louis. Loved them! I always said Chris played the bass as a rhythm and lead guitar. Fish out of water is a great album.
Love the choirs, "ya know that I love ya, but can't be without ya...when, I'm alone I still feel this way about ya. Everything 's clear, near is here and everything; besides, it appears to be so. Here am I dreaming?.?. I stand by myself. Look and it's easy to see that I am not the only one reaching for a new kind of "well".... Reaching for nothing to hide, with you by my side." "Span the distance, store the resistance. Almost close enough to hold out your hand, for the treasures of the universe are at your feet." Chris Squire, Thank you for your insight and music. I am so grateful you had the platform to perform the Purposeful words and music of love and kindness.
56 , so beautiful those free heady times , a fine example . You kids have been ripped off in that you don't know that there was a time when things like this could be popular , promoted , and you could make a living at it .
This is great as I've always loved the song. Nice to see Patrick Moran and Bill Bruford playing.
Thanks for all the wonderful music Chris.
Rest -Rock- in Peace in the arms of the angels Chris💜
Chris Squire: You're a living legend and will certainly live on for eternity... deep down in the souls and hearts of those who loved you and your matchless bass sounds. May God has a special place for you in heavens. From your Brazilian admirer, ever
Taquinho Noronha I wish he was still living! Very nice words my friend. Chris’ passing hit me hard... alas his legend always lives on. I love him, and Yes. God bless. Stay happy and healthy. ❤️🤟🏽🎶
Que palavras bonitas Taquinho
No words to say! My kind of music
Thank you Chris for keeping the feels!!
Chris Squire simply wonderful.
Had this album in high school, but learned to love it a few years later at college. My roommate discovered it in my collection and wore it out daily.
Chris Squire is I guess the most unappreciated Greatest bass player.. Just LISTEN/WATCH This!!!!!!!!!!.. And as someone else said that majestic look!!! He has always had that!!!.. Had the great fortune of seeing YES live a few times in Pittsburgh at the now.. sadly.. demolished Civic Arena :(
Were you there in the round when the guy jumbled onstage ti high Jon Anderson? At the time I didn't know much about Chris Squire but I remember the crazy tall guy in a stripped outfit. Watched him the entire time. I just recently started listening to Yes again and think what a dope Ive been for missing this great music. Turned my 28 yr. Old daughter on to them
Still saddened at our great loss of Chris Squire. Rest in peace and may God bless you.
bought this on 8 track when I was 16 living in Huntington beach ca,I need a time machine,
Maestro de maestro Chris Squire Q.E.P.D. y su trabajo con yes; simplemente fabuloso.
Saludos from Chile🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
RIP, Chris Squire...my all-time favorite bass player, and just an incredible musician, in general. A huge influence on me, in my own musical career. Sadly missed...
Superb, I love this album "Lucky Seven" is a scorcher as well
This is such brilliance !!!! Bruford, Moraz, Squire and that wonderful ensemble in the background !!!!!
it is not live. lip synced. this is just the studio version.
This just reenforces how much the "music", or what passes for it, these days sucks out loud.
Which days????Today,or back then?
You know we love you...we can't be without you...here is here...
We'll always miss you Chris!!! Love.
Su disco Fish out of Water es de los mejores que he escuchado en el rock progresivo. Y su aporte a "Yes" es, obviamente, invaluable. Por siempre Chris!
Two years ago today, June 27, 2015, Chris Squire passed away. He is much missed.
The master Chris Squire..... may his memory be forever blessed
Playing bass and singing at the same time. Holy crap!
My brain =💥
Geddy Lee - playing bass, occasional six string, singing, playing keys, Taurus bass pedals - combinations thereof.
Mind truly blown.
Happy Birthday in a Dean designed heaven. Lots of jamming.
Im a drunken middle aged man, waiting a truly feeled music take my veins
Lead bass suddenly sitting behind a flute solo ... this is songwriting genius, folks.
Outstanding and severely underrated piece of music. Combines many influences and comes out 100% original. And so many nuggets of gold embedded in the bass line.
Thank you for such unforgettable and otherworldly music, which will always be with us. Rest in peace.
wish they really played it live.. this is the record version.
I would love to hear an authentic live version of this. Funny that they gathered the orchestra and still faked it for the video.
Blessings, Squire.
Awesome voice. Always loved it.
That bassline run at 1:34 is a thing of beauty.
First I've ever heard this masterpiece. I love this!!! Never took the time to explore the genius of Chris Squire. I've always been partial to the timbre of his voice blend with Jon Anderson's. This is just so happy and melodic and rhythmically entrancing. Muchísimas gracias por haber tomado el tiempo. Más gente podrán descubrir la magia de este basista cantador increíble.
R.I.P. The Great Chris Squire.
Just absolutely amazing !
My favorite musician of all time. Bar none. Jerry is a close second.
Te amamos y te extrañamos Chris , descansa en paz...
One of the best bassists on the planet. Gone, but not forgotten.
lo acompaña bill bruford de yes tambien que bueno!!! lindo tema una superestrella tocando ya en el cielo y deleitando a jesus y compañia chris squire talentoso musico y versatil desde lima peru fans de yes.
A true pioneer of bass and musical arrangements.Every note he played changed the sound of yes.Thank you chris for the notes youv given me X
R.I.P. thanks for stopping by...
andre p So long and thanks for all the fish, Chris.
Kuba Swider I knew you were a dolphin. You smart buggers!
Not just my favorite bass player of all time but my favorite rock star of all time…a larger than life presence and a force of nature…
Chris Squire is Yes! Without him and Jon Anderson , they became a cover band
domineering bass is Chris. probably it was Yes the reason I got into bass and have such an ear for bass notes in all songs. And now, since he is in the afterlife now he is seeing all those treasures of the Universe we can't hold out our hands for.
more bands should dress like this now
I love this, thank you!
such an awesome piece. RIP buddy
Ahahaha, you can see Bill Bruford mess up in the background at (exactly) 2:25!
Que bueno que quedó regirsto de esto maravilloso con el gran Patrick Moraz
Master of tone and technique! RIP my brother!
