  • I said it a millions times, you can't beat the 1970s for some of the most amazing rock music ever created!!

    I vow to NEVER buy products that interupt a song on youtube.

    Steve Howe is from another planet. His approach to guitar doesn't get enough credit. He plays unlike anyone else and blows my freaking mind!
  • @suekelley4466
    I was 16 yo and saw them play in 1973 in Tucson, Arizona. They filled the arena and no one wanted to go home!

    Yes Anybody that doesn't put Steve Howe up there with the greatest of guitarists hasn't been paying attention.
  • This song is actually more impressive live than it is on the album. Watching the players literally nail those intricate parts and do those harmonies. It’s phenomenal!
  • @joeyricci3796
    This a RARE classic example of a band being even better LIVE, than the studio track! Yes was one of the very best bands I've ever heard in my 59 years on this earth.
  • @vbian88
    KAYE'S organ gives this song such a distinct sound. Very underrated member of Yes.
  • Anyone who thinks that Yes was not heavy just wasn't paying attention and only thinking of tracks like Owner of a Lonely Heart. And if you play an instrument then you understand the level of musicianship these guys had... all of them. Masters. Squire is one of my bass heroes.... RIP
  • I went to a Yes concert in the early seventies that was just over 3 hours long. They played five songs. It was bliss.
  • @vaportrails7943
    They’ve had plenty of success, but they are still underrated. Not simple enough for the masses. Incredible musicians. A real peak of what music can be.

    I was born in 68 and can remember hearing Yes in my house and in our cars by the time I was 7 or 8 and then really paying much more attention by the time I was a Freshman in HS. Never did I consider at that moment in time that I'd be playing this stuff for my grandkids...40 years later. Never did I consider that I'd never grow tired of listening to Yes, and all prog for that matter. But then again, I had no way of knowing that nothing better would ever develop and I had no way of knowing that technology would have effectively squashed the circumstances that allowed humanity to create such incredible and timeless art. But that's OK, we have plenty of epic greatness to enjoy forever.

    I was 15 years old when I first listened to this album. I'm now 64 and still hear something new with every listen. What an amazing and talented group of artists. A very special time.
  • @dennisn1672
    Doesn't show enough of Chris squire's bad ass bass playing. One the best bass players ever.
  • @sunroy1
    YES was a totally new sound! They were so original. Graduated high school in 73.
  • @omairsh8
    Chris Squire what a monster bassist and groove master he was. RIP
  • @blainstutts473
    “Without Yes, there would be no Rush” Geddy Lee. That speaks volumes for people that know anything about either band. Yes gets overlooked way too often.
  • Steve Howe has invented his own completely unique style and approach to playing that would take and Enigma code to decipher. Guitar players are able to replicate what he plays... but who would ever come up with that stuff to begin with? Steve Howe is.a genious
  • @richbutcher4466
    I've said it before, once Steve Howe joined the band, YES exploded musically! He became such a huge part of their sound. And when Wakeman joined a year later, the classic YES line up was born!
  • Chris Squires tone here is absolutely amazing especially for a live performance. Very powerful clear and cutting with that trademark Rickenbacker growl.
