Chris Squire and Bill Bruford are simply amazing on this masterpiece. One of the best rhythm sections in the history of rock. I don't know why I look at two persons listening to a song for over 18 minutes, but still I do and I must admit it is fun and it makes me listen to this very familiar song in a different manner. Thanks guys. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Always loved everything about Yes. Every person in the band was a master musician. Wakeman.... one of the best keyboardist, Steve howe...one ofnthe best guitarists, christ squire....one of the best bassists, Bill bruford...excellent drummer...not given enough credit for how good he was with all of the different time sigs. And oh jon Anderson...a voice of one in a million. These guys were incredible. The first time I listened to "Fragile", I was hooked. And if anyone loves the artwork.....it was all done by a guy named Roger Dean.

Chris Squire said the driving rhythm at the beginning was inspired by King Crimson 21st century schizoid man. Jon Anderson also said that he and Chris Squire saw King Crimson in concert and said that they(Yes) needed to go home and rehearse more.

[@rickdicl]

[@mlinderict]

One of the things that seems to be common with Yes and ELP (plus 311, and others that I'm not directly aware of) is Eddy Offord as a producer and engineer. His work was truly awe inspiring. #painintheask Emerson, Lake, and Palmer "Pictures at an Exhibition" (yes, that one), particularly the live video.

All I can say is wow.... and Chris Squire...(rest in peace) was so ON with his bass guitar that night. The whole band was ON .

[@andrito1000]

A note about the segment of music after "Heart of the Sunrise". It is a reprise of "We Have Heaven" by Anderson, which occurred on Side 1. It is an easter egg of sorts. It is a longer fade out of "We Have Heaven" which was on the original vinyl pressings of "Fragile". It has since been put back on all reissues of "Fragile". However, in my original listening of "Heart of the Sunrise" it was on the original vinyl. I'm a big "Yes" fan up till about 1980's "Drama" album. My Yes recommendations would be "The Gates of Delirium" from the "Relayer album" and "Awaken" from the "Going For The One" album. For live video I'd have to say "Yours Is No Disgrace" from the "Yessongs" live concert video from 1973, made shortly after Bill Bruford (drummer) left Yes to go to King Crimson. Alan White from Lennon's "Plastic Ono" band would be their replacement up until this day. I would wholeheartedly recommend King Crimson, however I know they are pretty tight about copyright and it would surely be taken down. Bill Bruford's style and technique influenced me in my own drumming, as a highly impressionable 13 yr old. Yes and King Crimson were God. lol

Love watching Kel's face as she listens. You can almost see the classically trained appreciation recognizing how modern instruments bring great themes to the forefront where they couldn't be expressed with orchestral interments. Even more so, when the vocals, piano and percussion intermix with electric guitar and bass. True appreciation in a face.

[@thegreypigeon]

I salute your bravery taking on a difficult piece like this, well done on your comments.

[@bryanmaleckar2176]

What is so amazing about Yes is that they can play ALL their stuff live, just like it was in the studio, and without the sheet music and lyrics in front of them. They practiced whole albums for weeks before they ever went into the studio. They would get most of their songs on 2 or 3 takes, with a few overdubs for some extra percussion sounds, or to double track some vocals, but for the most part, they got it right the first time! And BTW, I believe Chris Squire on bass did smoke some pot, but they werent really into drugs, especially when recording or during live shows.

You can so hear the influence on Steven Wilson and Opeth on this .By the way SW has remixed several Yes albums, as well as King Crimson.

They sure were a brilliant band weren't they! I actually saw them perform sometime either in the late 80's or early 90's as Bruford, Wakeman, Howe and Anderson at the Greek Theatre in LA. They couldn't use the band name "Yes" because of legal issues with another version of "Yes" that was current at that time, with Allen White on drums and Trevor Rabin on guitar, and Chris Squire on bass.I remember that was a great show that started with each member of the band doing a solo and Jon Anderson coming down from the back of the audience to the stage. I also still have my Yessongs triple vinyl that I purchased around 75 or 76. I played the hell out of that album!Those were glorious times! Thanks for the reaction, and you guys rock!

The Wakey keyboard solo you see Kel n Rich react to is taken from the concert tour you mentioned. The venue in the video is the Shoreline. You can see the whole show here on YT.

[@garygaudreau210]

Handling bass on that tour was Tony Levin, formerly of King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, others. Most recently with Stick Men (check THEM out). I had tickets for that tour (ABWH) in Kansas City. One of the band was sick that night - concert canceled; not rescheduled.

[@edwardodson2867]

shortly before Squire died my two sons and I saw the Yes tour where they played the entire Fragile album. Seeing this amazing music played live, flawlessly and effortlessly note for note took my breath away. Steve Howe looks like he's 300 years old but his hands danced on his guitars just as they did when this masterpiece was recorded. Same for Chris Squire. Jon Anderson wasn't touring with them, but the vocalist they found sounded just like him, and Rick Wakeman's son Oliver knew his dad's keyboard chops inside and out.

[@garygaudreau210]

I have to comment that most concert reviews of Yes in early 70s slammed them for sounding so much like studio versions. But starting with the Close to the Edge tour, Roger Dean (who painted most of their album covers) designed Yes' Stage Props. Lots of motion synched with the intricate changes in the music. And howcum I never hear anything from fans about the magnificent VOCALizations by Anderson, Squire, and Howe? Listen to Close to the Edge - I Get Up, I Get Down.

[@lindazee]

The musicianship is beyond extraordinary. You can hear how each instrument is exquisitely layering the piece. Each one is masterful...the drums OMG, the bass incomparable, and the guitar very crisp. Then when the keyboard chimes in, it matches the energy and virtuosity of the other instruments. Almost 50 years later I continue to rediscover its magnificence. Thanks for reacting to this!

[@cryptostops1441]

Hi. Thank you for this song and reaction. I have a very special relationship with Yes music. They are a loadstar for me. Perhaps they only true consistent message across all of rock music. It is because of the message. It is not a hidden message, but outspoken with pride and urgency. The positive message of "Yes." Jon Anderson is the keeper of the message. He has been true to it for over 50 years. Who has been that consistent? I know almost all of their music. I only know one song of their's that has a negative overview, and the is The Gates of Delirium. It is on the Relayer album, and is their take on war. But even it has a peaceful denouement. Thank you, again. And bless your beautiful marriage.

[@onsesejoo2605]

"Wondrous Stories" would be nice, being a rare Top 10 hit for them in the UK. Please react to Camel. It is not as well known as Yes et. al but highly rated and has loyal fanbase all over the world.
