but Steve Howe is my favorite.

Totally damn it you said it!!, yep, yep, YeP....., yEp

With the quality of the musicians who have passed through the various incarnations of the band you could almost create 3 complete versions of the band that would put nearly any other band to shame.

@@l.p.davidzuno9508 didn't you mean Yes Yes yes?

I totally agree, first saw them in 1972/3 Sheffield City Hall, UK.

Sweet emotions

Agreed! If there IS a 'Guitar God', he probably looks a lot like Steve Howe!!!

Have you ever really watched Chris play? He was one of the greatest if not the greatest bass players that ever lived. Steve's passion for his instrument is evident in every note he plays. All these guys (originals) were world class musicians, but it takes someone with a bit of a musical background to really appreciate what they did.

@@thetrumpnewsnetwork7503 100% about Chris but don't forget about bassist Jeff Berlin!

@@user-jx7vo1df3c John Entwistle?

@@thomaslehman6676 Trevor and Steve play on such a high level the difference is miniscule.

The guy on the Gibson gives the appearance of a viking with plugs.

Well said.

Wrong reply

Even better: Despite the almost oversized setting, the song does not sound the least bit overdone. Everybody giving it their all while still showing just enough restraint. That is the highest accomplishment of the Union tour I believe along with the great sound and not killing each other :D

Yeah, he was the soul of that band........

Yes died with Chris

The current bass player, Billy Sherwood was already in the band for years, and Chris himself said he would be best for the job when he leaves the earth. Jay Lane also has been in the band to help when Alan was ill, and Jon Davison has more than a decade in the band. While no one sounds EXACTLY like Jon A., Jon D. does an incredible job, as he is a little younger and has the range and power for the difficult task, and he likely is the best they have employed beyond Jon A. He plays multiple instruments and writes as well, a bonus for Steve Howe to free him up for whatever he wants to do on guitar. OF COURSE I also love the "other" Yes - AWR! It's all good - I wish they would do another union!

Or Jon Anderson, when he was booted out I lost interest.

Having him and Bill Bruford on the same stage.....out of this world. Yes Alan White RIP....missed but never forgotten.

Only Chris Squire, who could ever wish for more

Well Mainly because Yes had no other Bassist that was apart of the band at the time lol

@@bazicuber1037 Chris squire is the only constant member on every studio album

Bless his immortal soul; for he was the rock that made Yes roll!

And just one lead voice ¡¡¡¡ There´s no other in the world like Mr Jon Anderson.

regardless of their past and then future 😉

No one like Chris Squire as well

Most definitely!!

You can't even talk about Yes without including Trevor Rabin, incredible guitarist who wrote and played their only Number #1 hit.

@@bruceholsten2800 True but the whole music came from all member's virtuosity...

😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amo muito, que formação musical Perfeita 👏👏👏🙌🙏💋

you see" you musicians "are the wheels that keep it always moving.

Rock never dies, just the ones that lived through the great days of New albums every week are know older.....

Im still rocking on guitar at 57

Just to be realistic, though, this concert and tour were over thirty years ago and this was dinosaur music _then._ The musical landscape has changed a lot. I love this music and this song in particular, I always come back to it, but it has been a long, long since rock has been the main mover and shaker in music, especially prog.

No did grass there ! The best sounds ever......

Best live production value/sound ever. Can almost FEEL the emotive musical phrasing- and it's LOUD...

Goosebumps

I've seen them live many times, they have always been the best live band I've ever heard reproducing their music clearly and perfect.

the low end overall, is a mess.

YES ❤ AMAZING

Sadly rest of Titans getting older each day,and soon will fade away same as Chris. Long live Yes band.😢😤

76.5

66

You're not the only one there Ken !!!!

Yes. 1971❤

So was mine!!!

The soundtrack of my mind and my life. The best.

yes!---you nailed it---CONNECTED doing the complex

No doubt! Very complex music. Lots of communication amongst the band with a look or a nod ......

Very Well said!! I love this band!

Was there! Great! The tension tween Steve & Trevor was obvious...what a drag! Recorded both-wish they liked each other.

Excellent observation! I wish that Tony Kaye had been highlighted a bit more. This is the Opus/Song/Album he helped create... Everything worked on this tune. Great rendition.

@@bigvrocks2480 Yes! ;) Worked with or met all of them! Tony a great guy as was Alan-RIP! Jon is spacy, Chris was great sometimes-recorded him & Steve & Trevor, Bill is cool, Rick is funny, & Steve is great & nice but can be grumpy. Trevor is a gent! Recorded reggae version of "People" with Chris-who had forgotten the chords! I reminded him... Trevor also great on piano-recorded at Chick studio. Steve played on Duran Shatner "Planet Earth". $$$ was good... ;)

@@Iracord Sounds like exciting times. Amazing how time marches on and all we have left is memories...

@@bigvrocks2480 and pear lime nutella crepes & new 5.1 Animals Floyd remix AND...my FAVorite record in years-The Smile!!! Thom, Johnny, & Nigel from Radiohead!!!

I can’t help but to think he might feel like Woody (Toy Story) When buzz starts his Van Halen style solo?

@@toddpeterson360 You're right. Trevor Rabin's solo raped the entire song

@@DrDES-dp6un 'Raped?!'

@@toddpeterson360 I loved Trevor's solo here, but his playing didn't fit the style of the song at all. I feel like he was trying so hard to play faster than Howe.

Yes, Trevor Rabin has musical talent but he lacks dexterity. Instead he plays in a manner similar to a teenage rocker, speed over finesse. His solo is NOISE, whereas Steve’s is quite versatile.

BLUEPLANETJAZZ And Kaye And Wakeman

Bill Bruford is the most overlooked drummer. He is excellent.

Alan White/ Carl Palmer, got me started playing drums. Anne of Cleves on Rick Wakemans Six Wives..... listen now!

@@roryobrien8509 I will!

Bruford is the vast superior.

His fretbuzzin' rick is unforgottable.....

Wake up... Pink Floyd did.

King Crimson quite literally influenced them and everyone else at the time

That was King Crimson my guy

@@michaelgraham9774 no go check they both came out in '68 but yes first album came out feb 69, k krimson was oct 69, dont try to school me i was a dj many years here in buffalo, ny

Entwhistle

Jack Bruce.

Rabin's is faster and more technically impressive but not as enjoyable to listen to. The way Rabin and White coordinated their playing during that part is pretty cool, though.

@@musicman70707 Rabin was faster, Howe was tighter. different but equal IMO.

Steve did it...and Trevor should have done it this way, too - but he did not. So I can refer to this single song performance as ONION, because this moves me to tears

Steve Howe makes it look so easy!

Trevor isn’t bad either!!

Had a Wes Montgomery vibe...

Celebration of music.

I'm 60 also, and I grew up with YES, saw them many times in concert since the 1977 GOING FOR THE ONE tour, at Madison Square Garden. RIP Chris Squire.

I’m 64. From Buffalo,NY. We saw YES in1975 at Rich Stadium. J. Geils opened. Will never forget those days. Makes me want to cry too, but by the grace of God, all will be well brother.

Actually while I agree with this the one band now that at least can share a stage with Yes is Dream Theater! Petrucci can give anyone a run for their money!

Jimmy Page was supposed to join Yes at one point and the group name was XYZ for ex Yes Zeppelin

Best live band ever and unbeatable

@@MrJeremy9835 Yessssss 2002 tercenter

Trevor isn't worthy of carrying Steve's briefcase.

Saw this in Wembley, London, where they used a very slowly revolving stage so everything could be seen be everyone Just wanted them to go on for ever. There are no descriptions possible for how good they were. As has been said, truly the best ensemble of true musicians on the planet. Great that Jon is now doing gigs with 'School of Rock' young teens to pass on the brilliant Yes music. They are really talented, have a listen (Heart of the Sunrise and I've seen all good people) 🎶🎵💡👏👂🤓

I appreciate their music more now than I did then. Saw them 7 times.

@@LoneLee2022 214 for me.😎

@@jeffschielka7845 You saw them 214 times?

@@LoneLee2022 And counting. Yes!

@@jeffschielka7845 I had to sit behind the stage for the 90125 tour.

No rock music is this complicated anymore.

@@SylvesterCarl trust me when I say we try to make it but it will never be heard cause Ariana Grande's "yes, and" is more important...

Sure there’s good music out there got to know where to look for it is all. The only unfortunate part is this kind of music isn’t mainstream anymore.

Me too ! also a live show at JFK Stadium with Peter Frampton. It was the Frampton Comes Alive Summer.

@@jonny1904 Seems like a lifetime ago JFK Stadium was there in S. Philly.

Especially the ZUBA’s?

Damn right, man!

Hell yeah, 'Yes Album', 'Fragile', 'Close to the Edge' and 'Relayer' are MUST-HAVES!

Well said. I remember the "yes" album coming out. And the influence it had upon me. Although I didn't get to go see them till 'the going for the One' tour in '78. At M.S.G. NYC ..

Гитара 🎸👍 ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rnyoZ5uapKuLwqc.html

That's where I learned how to play music that you asked album. I really gotten throwed

I was blown away at as well by the s album. Add brother five years old to me later on may that was it

I saw them in Tulsa ‘78 Tormato tour on a revolving stage, that stage is visually imprinted in the memory bank. Don’t remember who opened though. Have seen Kansas several times in late 70’s, Jimmie Spheeris opened one & I was spellbound, sad he was killed so very young.

...and I'm only 73. Good and God's music for my funeral..

Sweet emotions

He may be the best bass player who plays with a pick, but that's just cringe!

@@bartlettferguson494 come on, man. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about...

Well, I only know about what I've seen and heard but "who's the greatest bass player is" isn't a hill I want to die on so, if u prefer a bassist dressed in a robe, playing with a pick, and u think that sounds good, fine.

@@bartlettferguson494 I was referring to the pick Comment. I Play both guitar and Bass with either pick, or Finger style and I can assure you, that the "pick Bass playing is less difficult" Trope is stupid.
