The bass line and tone is ridiculous. Chris Squire was legendary in my mind.

[@ericmoore7413]

Yeah. Very few humans alive today can play this song on Bass. If ya don't believe me, learn this song on bass, and play it perfectly.

[@jimo7593]

Would have loved to see John Entwhistle play this bass line. I think he might have one of the few to pull it off.

[@hectorchavez3405]

@@jimo7593 entwhistle and squire along with billy Sheehan are my favorites

[@michaelyork4554]

Very Few Bands, Exceed My Expectations, YES is at the top of that list. In 1975 I said the same thing to my older brother, "But they can't play this music Live", so he handed me YESSONGS. In 1977 I got to see them Live, and they exceeded my expectations.

[@rtwbikerider]

The lead singer for Yes told the other four guys that he wanted the band to sound like an orchestra, and then showed up with just a tambourine. If you saw keyboardist Rick Wakeman’s massive rig, you would understand who picked up the slack. To be honest, Jon would occasionally play acoustic guitar or keyboards in a live Yes performance. The lead guitarist would often switch between acoustic, electric and lap steel guitars within songs. The bassist might play a triple neck bass guitar and bass pedals (and sing backup) within songs. And, the drummer had access to a number of percussion instruments around his kit. Even in the pre-MIDI 1970’s, they had a big live sound.

[@markoliver630]

Jon Anderson not pulling his weight ? You do not know what you are talking about.

[@edf13]

@@markoliver630 Jon's ideas were front and center and he proved he was a musical talent on Olias of Sunhillow

[@markjohnson4217]

This is what you get when you bring five master musicians together, each member is a virtuoso. Rick Wakeman is still regarded as the greatest keyboardist in the history of rock. Chris Squire, RIP..The most aggressive bass player, a real shredder..Steve Howe, ridiculously versatile, on fire guitarist. Bill Bruford, the precision fusion rock drummer that inspired Neil Peart from Rush. The voice of Jon Anderson, and stacked up vocal harmonies to top it all off. Some said they were "too good",and that they often "over-played", that it was "too much"...etc. But the test of time has spoken.

[@poetreatsartreats2469]

[@ernestosangiacomo2634]

Perfect description!

Hallelujah

[@killiansred1000]

This does sound amazing live. I’ve seen Yes twice and their talent is off the charts.

[@krisdoggett483]

They sound just as good live. They've been around since 1968 and have had many personnel changes but there are 5 members basically. Except when they went on their Union tour in 1991and had 8 members (past & present) on stage at once. Only time I ever saw them live was on that tour.

[@jackp8583]

I did see this live, and they perform it just like this, their studio recording. Mesmerizing virtuosity. I was fortunate enough to see 2 concerts with Bill Bufford on drums. I swear that man's limbs each has their own nervous system.

[@gpg9516]

I’m jealous and you’re right about Bill Bruford. The doctorate in music he earned after retiring was not just an honorary degree. His body of work is astounding.

[@yesorlando05]

IMO, the Golden Era of music was the 1970's and 1980's. Incredible talent, very well-written and imaginative songs. The music was so awesome back then. Great review!

[@jesusorbea2024]

[@anthonyblakely399]

You guys are going down a DEEP Rabbit Hole with Yes and their AMAZING Music Masterpieces!!! Dude!!!! You gotta here "Awaken" and "Going For The One" by Yes. Another music masterpieces of songs by them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@echopryme]

GREATEST. BASSLINE. EVER!!! Full goddamned STOP!

[@souldreamer9056]

By Yes standards, you’ll be glad to know that Roundabout barely scratches the surface when it comes to “mind blowing”. If you dare to really have your mind blown, the following are Yes’ greatest epic masterpieces. They will take you to heaven and back, I promise. For the listen best possible experience, listen to the in the order listed. CLOSE TO THE EDGE (1972) Yes’ first side-long epic masterpiece. The song that cemented their status as a legendary band that composed MAGIC, not music. REVEALING SCIENCE OF GOD (1973) Not as complex as the previous, but epic and beautiful nevertheless. GATES OF DELIRIUM (1975) Tolstoy’s book War and Peace, condensed into an epic movie experience of a song. AWAKEN (1977) m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKataGmepaida6s Yes final masterpiece. Majestic and transcending. After Awaken was recorded, yes stopped producing magic, and merely produced music. I provide a link for AWAKEN because the studio version is not as well recorded as the linked version, and that may hinder your enjoyment. This version gives the song the production values it deserves.

[@edf13]

They've recorded a few other epics post Awaken. Mind Drive, That, That is, etc. but your point is taken.

[@souldreamer9056]

@@edf13 I didn’t claim that the 4 songs I listed were a complete catalogue of their ‘epics’. I left out more songs than the two you mentioned, eg sides 2, 3, and 4 of Topographic, as well as Fly From Here. And while some of those are quite good, I don’t consider any of them magical. That’s why I didn’t list them.

[@sobr4986]

Lol. Yes, this, exactly. Literally came into comments to say he needs check out one of the actual epics, which would have been *Revealing Since Of God* (20:26) *Gates Of Delirium* (22:16) and *Close To The Edge* (18:41) in my list lol OR, if he wants a true experience, just do the whole Tales from Topographic Oceans album (i mean, only four songs ...sure, its a double LP, 80+ minute run; but still technically only four songs 😆 and man do I love that freakin album. Its an experiencemore more than a listen, but if a person likes a journey, they won't find another like it anywhere)

[@rapidprimus]

No offence but just because it's longer doesn't mean better. Roundabout it's perfect from beginning to end. I can't say the same for the rest and yes I have listened to them plenty of times.

[@sobr4986]

@@rapidprimus Saying one thing barely scratches the surface of complexity, depth and textures the band accomplishes in its true epics is not knocking the one. But to say the one is the only perfection is wrong. I mean, there is not really a single mistake in either Close To The Edge or Revealing Science Of God either, and honestly hardly a missed take in the entire Topographic runtime. A person's preference may not lay in the experience of a true, epic sonic journey, or even those specific journeys presented, but that takes nothing away from them Clearly Roundabout is also the most timelessly commercial friendly in the catalog (well, obviously save for Owner Of A Lonely Heart, and maybe Your Move/Seen All Good People,) and is clearly the most accessible of the more complex songs with any commercial draw; but that too takes nothing away from others. It all just depends what you're looking for, and Soul was reading that HazeBruv might be interested in an even more expansive experience. I agree, based off his reaction to Roundabout

[@FlatulentBreeze]

I saw Yes many years ago (In The Round - round stage rotates throughout the show) where all the members both original and later were on stage at the same time, I think there was 11 of them. It seemed like every time someone had a killer solo they had rotated to right in front of me... It was amazing!

[@waynestumbo2408]

The magnificent Yes. So many great songs

I didn't realize there were so many reaction vids for this song. So cool to watch minds being blown away. I like your idea of putting a bunch of them into one video.

[@dantean]

They do it live on their album called "Yessongs." I saw them do this and the rest of their classic catalogue in a big stadium in the mid-70s and they KILT IT! KILT, I SAY!

[@aryehbarson]

Yes, we all went crazy when they played this live! I saw them in Kansas City in '78 and I seriously thought the roof or balcony was going to come down.

[@mhlevy]

I missed that tour. I had tickets to their KC show at Kemper Arena, but then the roof caved in several nights before the show... :-( I was able to see Yes several times over the years, including their "Fly From Here" tour, where I finally bit the bullet and paid a ridiculous amount of money for the Meet & Greet and front-row-center seat. Meeting Chris, Steve, and Alan were worth every cent. Oliver Wakeman (Rick's son) was playing keyboards on that tour, and Benoit David was on vocals. It was an awesome night. I've since seen Yes and ARW one time each since that concert.

[@billbox1916]

Hey there my brother, Roundabout what a great song! Yes is a five piece band. Much love!

[@lonspangrud5992]

[@johng.8517]

YES is one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time and my favorite band. Some more good ones include "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.

[@Trendyflute]

Dude I missed that you did Yes, glad you liked it! Roundabout is amazing, but the more Yes I hear the more I like other songs more wink wink. I think this is the only Yes you've done so far, I think "Long Distance Runaround" is another good starter song and then lately I've been playing Starship Trooper twice a day...so damned good.

[@markzegarac8574]

I saw it live in the 70's and it was fantastic... I still think today Rick Wakeman is the best keyboard player I've ever seen..

[@paulhansberry8168]

i went to one of their early concerts (1972 or 1973). The band played this live and all of their other stuff.....live.....with no auto tune, sampling, or computer assist ( didn't exist at the time), they were that good.

[@smitch1558]

There are five Lead singer, guitar, keyboards, bass & drums. The most amazing thing is I saw them do this live 50 years ago.

[@robertacolarette1594]

Chris Squire’s bass drives this whole song. That’s why I’ve always loved it.

[@inckyprog6924]

I would start getting to know YES with the first two songs on the live album YESSONGS. (it's like you're at a concert and slowly the curtain rises to the first song) "Opening / Siberian Khatru" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZfVkqp7gq-fftU With this album, YES took me by storm.

[@DanloRingess]

Great to see you getting to Yes! They are probably the best of the prog (progressive rock) bands of the 1960's-1980's (though they have continued to play more much recently than that). I think you may also enjoy another of their classic songs, I've Seen All Good People. I'd also check out a song of theirs from the mid-80's, Owner Of A Loney Heart. Much more commercial sounding, but still great. If you want to do a really interesting comparison, try listening to America by Simon and Garfunkel, then listen to the Yes reimagining/reworking of this into an almost completely different song-though you can still hear the original at its core.

[@parisbrat]

Saw them live in the 70's. Donovan opened for them. The whole show was mind blowing beyond belief.

[@frankkoolosko4255]

He’s right when he says how many people in his band,because so much stuff is layered on top of each other, you would need a lot of people to play it live.

[@poppiethestable4569]

Dig it** Long distance runaround

[@bartstarr100]

Long Distance Runaround/The Fish.

[@GoodLifeInSpain]

Yes was the first band I ever saw in concert in 1976 at Anaheim Stadium. I've probably seen them live at least 15 times. They were unbelievable...and their music still holds up today. Try some old Genesis.

[@scottderechinsky9896]

This song is all about those keys and drums. I saw it played live 5 times

[@ericminch]

And you never noticed Chris Squire?

[@alexhicks5889]

...and bass, and guitar, and vocals. 🤣

[@ron88303]

My personal favorite Yes song is Awaken. I consider it to be their magnum opus (although a lot of fans would vote for Gates of Delirium). Regardless, this is also a masterpiece; one of several by them.

[@2l84t]

Guess no one suggested fastening your seatbelt. Cruise through the mountains windows open tunes cranked.

[@jflinn2010]

There are five: drummer Bill Bruford, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, keyboardist Rick Wakeman, and singer Jon Anderson. So yeah -- there's four guys making that sound rain down all around you, while singer Anderson takes flight with his lead vocals.

[@StopMAGA]

Yes songs would not be the same without the very underrated backing vocals of Chris Squire.

[@Lewis9709]

Only 5 people in the band; Jon Anderson - Vocals Chris Squire - Bass Steve Howe - Guitar Rick Wakeman - Keyboards Bill Bruford - Drums, Percussion. Alan White took over for Bruford when he left the group.

I heard that song live about eight times during the 70s. Truly ear candy.

[@boman2822]

I remember loving this song so much I remembered every lyric word by word

[@scurvybro8850]

Fortunately, I don't have to imagine what it's like to hear this song played live. In 1973, at my second concert ever, I saw Yes, and they opened up with this song. They f-ing blew the arena away. They actually were the opening act for the headliners, Black Sabbath. Sabbath was a definite letdown in comparison.

[@MyChannel-bb4pm]

Floyd and Rush, also.

[@mikelmart]

@@MyChannel-bb4pm I like Rush but I think way too much credit is given to them in the prog genre. If you take out the Keyboards of Banks or Wakeman you lose a lot that cannot be replaced without another element that make them stand out above any other three piece band. Yes I know there are some keyboards in Rush songs but come on, there's no comparison. If another element was added to the band like a violin in Kansas or flute in Jethro Tull now you are really progressing.

They were not just studio wizards, they could pull it off live, without a hitch! For me, The Yes Album, Fragile album, Yessongs live album, and Close to The Edge are the heart and soul of Yes, although I love all of it! Chris Squire is probably my favorite bass player of all time! Try him tearing up "Heart of The Sunrise" It will change the way you think of the bass guitar, or at least it did me, 50 years ago! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqexlJqCbqucatk

It's true. Absolutely. They played this live, they played Close to the Edge live, they played most of their stuff live, and it was practically flawless. I had the pleasure of seeing them in Ottawa in 1972, and despite the clouds of dope smoke I was able to see and hear them do this to perfection.
