Opening / Siberian Khatru Yessongs Version by Yes in 4K UHD SACD

[@michaelbeerbados3291]

there simply is no better live album than Yessongs. When these virtuoso players in their prime reproduce , a collection of live songs equal to or BETTER than the studio versions, you have to say it is the best ever. Yes was by far the most talented band in history. Not even a contest.

The most blistering guitar solo outro ever conceived. Steve "The Maestro" Howe at his finest Live.

I've loved Yes and Yessongs for 47 years! It was 1973 when I first heard this album on 8 track in my car after a high school friend pulled this one out of his bag. I'd never heard of Yes. I instantly liked the sound of Jon Anderson and the musicianship of the group. I became obsessed with the album in the days to come after running out to buy it. Over many years, I bought Yessongs on 8 track 2 or 3 times, (wore out the 8 track tapes), on album 2 or 3 times, cassette once or twice, and CD at least twice. It's the love of my life. When I hear it played at a higher level of quality like it is here, I can't believe it, since it has always been an inferior recording. That fact is one of the true recording tragedies of the 20th century in my opinion! This album deserved to be a master recording. This particular recording is the most clear and dynamic of any format I've heard. Cudos to vzqk50HD! On my headphone setup this is the best I've ever heard the Yessongs tracks other than those first years in the car, where my stereo system compensated for its poor recording quality. Yessongs is the rock masterpiece of my life in spite of being a hard core jazz fan. For me, it's the best live album ever recorded and one of the greatest albums of all time. Yes was a fantastic group in those days, and at their very best here. I will always be a superfan of this album and of the group when they were in their heyday. There are many other good performances by Yes but only one that I love, and Yessongs is it. There are some studio performances I love too. But, Yes dropped the mike after Yessongs. I was lucky enough to see them live more than once, particularly the World Series of Rock in Cleveland Ohio in the 70's. Seeing them was awe inspiring!

Che pezzo fantastico, non ho parole per descriverne la travolgente bellezza. Grazie a chi l'ha postato🙏🏻

What a blistering solo by Howe at end

[@unstrung65]

This recording was from the same tour I saw in 1973 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto .It gives that same prelude that came over the house speakers , with the last section of "Rite Of Spring" by Stravinsky . Then a short bridge by Wakeman , then, lights up and Siberian Khatru at full volume . I was 15 rows back , dead center. I must confess that though I had given up smoking grass a half year before , someone offered me a few tokes of hashish as we took our seats . I think it helped put me over the moon by the time the concert started . Saw many a concert in those days -- but sometimes everything comes together at the right time .

[@bernab]

Maybe the last section of "The Firebird" by Stravinsky. Like here. :)

[@eda396]

I loved this era of Yes with the Stravinsky opening

[@trimetrodon]

Takes some moxie to open with the Firebird….

[@paulelliott3220]

Truly beautiful backdrop coming into view as the Firebird Suite was playing Loved hearing it, and it eased into Rick's keyboard Then the band kicking in Great visuals while the masterpiece was being played Very cool indeed Yessongs is one of the best live albums out there Excellent work Sir

[@tonyanderton3521]

Wow! Wow! Wow! That's astonishing. Master musicians, I would say. The bass guitar and the drums holding everything together.

[@DaveDraperGuitar]

Outstanding video of an incredible performance. I was so fortunate to see Yes live many times from the mid-70s to early 80s, at their peak -- several concerts "in the round" on the slowly rotating stage. Totally formative influence on me.

[@thomasrichmond2413]

Your work is so good but you've outdone yourself here! Many thanks to you

[@RichardMNixon-zh6uz]

Clearly remember this performance. Was in the South right after our reelection. Excellent work as always, VZQK.

[@kurtboyer299]

I like the guy who yells "Go get 'em Steven!" as it fades out.

[@Jamfjr]

I love how it was the firebird suite so you had that photo in the background during it! Such a great song I played in band class in 6th grade I think. Good job!

[@vzqk50HD]

So it wasn't too cheesy... I pondered this for quite some time before approving it. Even toyed with using a video flame effect in the background to tone down the screaming chicken. Anyway, it took almost an hour just to process the Firebird Suite without the flame effect, so it probably would have taken twice as long with it. Time to get more horsepower than my 6th gen i7.

[@dianequick3127]

I was in 8th grade when I purchased this album. (With my own money)

[@Relayer6a]

First Yes album I ever bought. Absolutely wore out the side with Starship Trooper and Yours is no Disgrace. Close to the Edge side was a not so close second. 🤩

[@Jim-oy7wk]

Such great musicianship/vocals. High energy inspiration in all their music. When I first heard this stuff as a teenager it rearranged my whole musical landscape. I still listen to their stuff all the time.

[@papunAlicea]

Amazing Yes, as Always. Thanks for share

[@bushwhacker5517]

Side one of Yessongs is the pinnacle of achievement of prog rock

[@zatkie91]

YAY! Thanks so much for doing this

[@Pontiac428]

Listen from 3:15 on. Wakeman playing like Godzilla was coming out of the water. Then,,the bass coming out of that wonderful Hammond stands the hair up on my neck!!!😎 Incredible!!!

[@tonyanderton3521]

Igor Stravinsky brought me here.

[@stevecooper445]

Outstanding. Memories!!!

[@Cocus62]

Excellent video!!!

[@michaelflowers5712]

Fantastic work,,Bravo!

[@seancromwell327]

Best live album ever!

[@francocolinzeferino]

Thanks a lot!!

[@Cocus62]

Thanks thanks....!!!

[@laurenttissier1106]

Un paquet de samsung light merci !

[@dianequick3127]

I like Rick Wakeman's church organ bit in this piece.

[@trimetrodon]

Yes sometimes is church music!

[@1adneumann]

So amazing this is........ Really now, what compelled him to form "ASIA"? That, I'll never understand....

[@matthewblack7206]

You're not using context. Yes virtually didn't exist after Asia - Anderson was gone, Wakeman was gone... Read Howe's biography; it's then obvious why.
