And You And I / Yes - Live

1991 Union Tour

[@wralford]

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.

[@clareriley5860]

Absolutely the truth!

[@jinxie1080]

This piece of advice rings especially true in today's climate. Hope youngsters take your advice to heart when all of this blows over :)

Well said brother

[@discoveryman59]

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!

[@lizzz6407]

As do I. Only Jon Baptiste comes close.

[@christophlieding734]

yes from germany ,,, long time ago and still feeling it.

[@ianddavidson1]

This is like a prog rock masterclass. Stunning!!!

[@k.robert6279]

ABSOLUTELY, AMEM.

[@DR-xt9ux]

Agree @discoveryman55

[@user-ml4rg8pr5r]

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.

[@christophlieding734]

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.

Sono completamente d'accordo con le Vostre Parole Yes

[@amydavidval]

Easily one of my very favorite songs

[@vitoiacovelli98]

It's true!

[@MarianBetik]

Yes počúvam od svojich 17 - tich, dnes mám 65 a stále mi majú čo povedať. Videl som ich naživo vo Viedni v chladnej koniarni. Anderson povedal: "Dnes z nej urobíme Yes house!" A urobili...

[@Neptune212]

Thank goodness for you tube. Even though our vinyl has long warped, the great music from this era will live on forever.

[@billywatson118]

YES!😊

[@brucesilverman7159]

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...

[@tinacollins2055]

Me too!

[@jerrybelioso1209]

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!!!

[@mtsanga3421]

@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.

[@georgebranning3349]

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.

[@s.pearson6887]

Amen. Yes was an ideal standard to which all rock groups should aspire. Not copy, but aspire. Exquisite song writers and performers.

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.

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.

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

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!

I was just gonna say the same thing !

[@fenderstratocastertelecast8479]

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

[@stevennovakovich2525]

I was lucky enough to see their 1978 tour supporting 'Tormato' tour in Los Angeles as well as in 2015 in Chicago. Breath-taking showmanship, unmatched talent.

I'm 65 now still listening 🎶 👌

[@grottonisred6541]

Me too, it sounds as fresh today as it did back in 1972 no matter how many time I play it.

[@petersmith4140]

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!

[@artmccartan4911]

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.

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.

[@bnslippy]

Some of the most complex music in rock and roll ever written by these guys. Don't you just love it

[@roberthudson9160]

You can tell how much steve howe likes this piece of music😊went to see the 50th anniversary last April and he single handedly held the audience with his guitar what a musician..from a millenial

[@garyminetola8630]

seen my first concert in1975 philly spectrum and then 32 more times union tour no words can describe the sound and the power fron that show chills

[@josetabla490]

I was really close to the edge jajaja... I held my breath for the last 3 or 4 minutes... just after the last Steve's note I realize wasn't breathing and came back to life...

[@christopherbowen3055]

Actually, this Yes music is the greatest music for me to dance to. Believe it or not. My spirit does the dance. My body just goes along. . .til I drop.

[@griscom11]

Yes yes yes

[@FourthMatrix]

I saw this show at the Montreal Forum way back when, same stage, same everything... it was a meaningful and beautiful experience.

[@michaelneville2915]

I have never not been transported to a better place when listening to YES

[@luisdiaz3887]

We missed you Chris you’ll always have a special place in our hearts. The best bass player ever to roam the earth. RIP Sir Chris Squire.

[@ianddavidson1]

Check out Norman Watt-Roy, Anthony Harty and Gerry McEvoy. If you love bass, you will love these guys.
