REACTION TO Yes - Siberian Khatru | Live at Montreux 2003

[@zoktoberfest]

It was absolutely criminal that the camera men did not show Chris Squire, the incredible bass player, who is the back bone of the band, its music, and its sound.

[@pschroeter1]

I swear the bass is mixed down low in the mix which is criminal too.

That’s one of the things that sucks on viewing live concerts! Hell real Yes fans could do a better job on camera shots! We KNOW whose Playing what & where!❤

[@stevedotwood]

agreed, he's the motor. And he wasn't very up front in the mix here

[@mattleppard1970]

Not enough footage of Chris as per bloody usual. Best bass player in the world, phenomenal showman, heart of the band, lead backing vox, and so on. Great bass performance going on. Much better than watching Steve’s fingers. Overall a great song of course ❤❤

[@nancymjohnson]

Squire had it all! Best bassist I’ve ever seen. His stage presence was also so much fun to watch. And he was humble and kind.

[@mattleppard1970]

@@nancymjohnson Sadly much time is spent on Steve’s unsmiling face and fingers. He’s a key member of Yes, but Mr Squire he was not. Seen it happen on too many concert vids to count now. Any chance to see Chris is a treat

[@douglasgraham9045]

Totally agree always tried to get a seat to the right side of the stage to see Chris perform. Amazing bass player and vocalist

[@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669]

Squire is considered the MASTER of the bass. I'm no music expert and even I know this.

[@ELPCOTILLION-SD1970]

Indeed...

[@RobertDrennen-b6p]

Your comments about Rick Wakeman! He is amazing. Yes, he plays two keyboards at once, but look a little closer. He plays most of the set with his eyes closed, only opening them to switch keyboards or after a song has ended!

[@vadrums3322]

For me the music of YES is a music from another galaxy. I am 65 years old and I discovered this music at the age of 17 with the album Yessongs which for me is the greatest live album of all time where the band was at its best. It was the shock of my musical life and I never left them except now because for me the Yes without Jon nor Alan nor Chris does not resemble any more the true Yes at most a tribute band. These guys were true geniuses and will remain so because their music is totally timeless. Never has a band in rock (except maybe Pink Floyd) reached such a degree of creativity.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

Me too. Hooked from the Yes Album. Saw Squire and his band from the Relayer tour until his passing 36 times.

[@clementeandrade5136]

[@pmar27]

Agreed. I'll be seeing Yes for the 4th time in my life this coming November and I have no expectation of greatness. As you said, a cover band, but it's the 50th anniversary tour of Fragile, which is my first album by them.

[@paulsimmons5726]

I’ve been a YES fanatic since high school in the 70’s. YES had a number of member changes over the years but whoever played in the lineup was always top tier at their instrument(s). YES influenced so many future bands. RIP Chris Squire and Alan White!

[@northsider1960]

Saw them in June 1976, what an incredible show. Made me a lifelong fan and saw them several more times since but never got that same awe as the first time with the relayer tour.

This composition is symphonic! Five extraordinary musicians playing as one. The epitome of ensemble performance.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

"The keyboards, that guy is just brilliant." That pretty much describes the entire band. I grew up a huge Zep fan, but there really is no progressive band like Yes out there, never has been and never will be. Brilliant.

[@gilgaleano107]

Don’t forget the bass! Squire was a master. His insane strumming is what drove not only this song, but the vast majority of their catalog. Very few were able to play the bass at his level. He’s considered in the elite….not just in prog rock, but all rock.

[@nancymjohnson]

I’ve seen Yes every tour since 75. I get so excited I can’t eat for two days. Flying to Houston to see them Thursday 😁☮️❤️

[@mcrafford]

The entire Close to the Edge album is nothing short of astounding. This is still one of my must have albums. The creativity is off the charts and to think the album was created before most of the bells and whistles that would be necessay today to do the same thing. Rick Wakeman (keys) and Bill Bruford (original drummer on the album) still talk of the album as their favorite Yes album. Alan White (RIP) joined Yes right after the album came out and had only 3 days to learn this and the Fragile album before hitting the road! Chris Squire (RIP) was absolutely a monster bass player who influenced many of todays best bass players. Jon Anderson is one of the most creatively original performers even to this day with his naturally higher pitched voice which still unique and angelic. Wakeman (keys) was voted only #2 behind his dear friend Keith Emerson, but in my opinion is on equal standing. Wakeman also could have been a wildly successful comedian (very funny guy) and he is still prolific in composition and performance. I remember seeing Yes live for the Close to the Edge tour and Wakeman had a sequened cape that looked like molten lava with the lights on it. And I believe he was the first to tour with so many keyboards at his finger tips Steve Howe is a classically trained player who brought so much to the table with his original style and ideas. Yes, who brought so much to the field of rock music, is one of the originators of Progressive Rock.. Wow. Yes!!!

[@Sanson101]

Imho the Best Prog Rock Álbum of all time

[@georgewodicka4839]

My favorite album of all time is Brain Salad Surgery, but I still think Wakeman is better than Emerson. Wakeman has released 90!! albums of his own, in addition to his history with YES. A true titan.

[@samwatson2039]

Best live band I've ever seen, each player blends in perfectly with each other. Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman compliment each other perfectly. The harmonizing of all three Anderson, Howe and Squire is incredible. Squire's voice and bass guitar 🎸 are the best I've ever heard in concert

[@nathelm]

I think it was 1972 or around about, Yes recorded a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's America. Really an outstanding version and may blow your socks off.

[@lindazee]

1971, I believe, and what an incredible interpretation. One of my all-time favorites by YES.

[@trimetrodon]

I’ll be 62 in a couple of weeks. It is wonderful to see younger folks discovering the gold mine of music that Yes is. It supports the contention you sometimes read that if there are still people listening to music in a hundred years, there will be folks listening to and marveling at, Yes. Thank you for the video.

[@donaldanderson6604]

Yes always managed to sound as though there were ten musicians on stage. I've seen them countless times and they never disappointed.

[@drfoxcourt]

The camera gives good shots of Howe and Wakeman doing their thing, and a bit of White's drums, but you miss Squire's bass, that which holds up the whole thing. Every member of this band are top of their class. Yes is transcendent together.

[@LewDanLascivious8276]

Believe it or not as good as every member is in the band it is hard for all of them to share the spotlight equally all the time since they are all so fantastic and most great songs feature different musicians more than others. And I'm sure if the song they were doing was something like heart of the sunrise or roundabout which really features Chris squire they would show him constantly just like they do in songs that features Rick wakeman or songs that feature the drummer so I highly doubt they mean to dog on Chris squire it's just that they have to show who is being featured in the song. Besides they did show Chris squire a little bit.

[@aprilstewart5929]

I'm not fond of this camera footage. I wanted more of Jon, and where Rick is concerned, yeah, it's hard to catch him working, but I would have enjoyed seeming more of that, and yes, where Chris is concerned.

[@malcolm2505]

I will be forever grateful when a friend I barely knew gave me a copy of the original debut 'YES' album when i was about 17 (1971). I listened to it over and over and just had to buy The Yes Album, then Fragile, then Close, and on and on. I have followed Yes ever since. Nothing else quite matches their unique sound.

[@ShreveportJoe]

Great clip, great song, great reaction. Having seen them live many times, I can say Chris’ bass is usually a little higher in the mix, which improves any song dramatically. Especially whenever I see live clips of them, I’m always even more appalled that Green Day was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame before Yes.

[@louisgrenier3]

I've seen many Yes's shows in the 70's, they were the best live performers.

[@gene8172]

This is actual music, played on actual instruments, by actual virtuoso musicians, recorded on actual recording media with an actual producer with actual singers singing in their natural voices without the atonal pretentious overproduced nonsense we hear today.

I’ve always considered Yes a modern classical music. There was never a slouch in the band. I’ve seen them 19 times since 1975. My absolute favorite.

[@Tolemac7]

Do yourself a huge favor. Go back and re-listen to this and this time focus on the stunningly brilliant bass playing from the late Chris Squire. Indeed, the guitar and keyboards are fantastic, and so is Chris's bass. Yes is the very best Progressive Rock band ever, especially in this configuration. Steve Howe was Guitar Player magazine's Guitarist of the Year, 5 years in a row. Rick Wakeman is considered one the greatest rock keyboardist's along with the phenomenal Keith Emerson, of ELP. Chris Squire is acknowledged as an absolute Master of the Bass. What he does is so very different than what anyone else does. Listen to 'The Fish', which is all bass except for the opening notes by Steve. Then listen to 'Heart of the Sunrise', and see just how incredible Chris's playing is. You've just started with Yes, and you are in for one musical adventure after another.

When people see Yes live for the first time, they inevitably seem amazed that the band is every bit as precise and well coordinated as when they are in the studio. The mastery of this group of musicians was off the charts. Regarding Rick Wakeman, as a part of Yes, he spent most of his time on organ and synth, but he is truly a virtuoso on piano and has multiple records of piano music that are absolutely perfect.

[@georgewodicka4839]

Correct. This all-time master of ANY keyboard has put out 90, yes 90! albums of original music.

[@wendellwiggins3776]

Grew up blessed seeing YES. I LOVE THIS SONG! So under appreciated even through they opened with this the majority of times Live. The main thyme is a wave of overlapping rhythms cycling to provide their trademark vortex of sound that is always simply hypnotizing. Then there is the FUNKY section which is probably one of most grooviest they've been to that point. Though it charges forward there' are many incredibly gorgeous fluid changes and different parts that senses you off in unexpected and surprising directions. the "River running right on over and out of my head" section just does exactly that to my head every time!

Quite Brilliant, all the same.

[@genestippell1833]

you picked a great song that as you said, shows off their creatively. I can imagine them writing ànd arranging it.... Steve Howe shows up with this neat little guitar lick and then they build this whole piece of music with essentially a simple guitar lick at its core. There weren't too many bands that could do it. Throughout the song everyone is playing something different. The bass player is off doing his thing, the keyboard player has his own unique chords he's playing while Howe just keeps repeating that little lick, and they. make it work. Those guys were loaded with talent and creativity. When I hear some of these yes pieces I ask myself, how do they even conceive of these songs?

Beautiful music, great performance from Steve Howe - Guitar Chris Squire - Bass, Rick Wakeman - Keyboards and of course the irreplaceable vocalist, leader of the group YES Jon Anderson! Despite many line-up changes, temporary breakups and constant changes in music, this band has been around for over 50 years and still retains a huge number of its listeners around the world. Yes's music is characterized by sharp dynamic contrasts, extended song lengths and the highest performing skills of all members of the group. Yes often uses symphonic and other so-called "classical" musical structures, mixes different styles, incorporates various innovations into their compositions and creates extremely bright and full of ideas music as a result.

For me, Chris Squire is the star of this tune and the band in general. Steve is doing his Steve thing in his amazing style and Rick is mesmerizing …. Alan is phenomenal and still playing up to speed at this point… Jon is my favorite singer of all time, but without Chris’s bass and backing vocals, this song (and this band) would fall apart. Not sure why cameramen always ignore bass players and engineers alway mix the bass so low. Seeing them live brings out the genius of Chris. RIP Chris Squire ! Rip Alan White !

[@pugix]

Neither you or the cameraman paid attention to the bass or mentioned Chris Squire. Shame! This song came out on the album Close to the Edge, in 1972. Bill Bruford was the drummer at that time, Yes's best drummer I always thought. Story to tell... Summer, '72 or '73, I can't remember exactly when, I was a bass player looking for a band. Got invited over to a guitarist's house to jam. He was a Steve Howe fan and had memorized a lot of Howe's solos. As I walked in the door, there was a reel-to-reel tape playing a song. Guitarist says he wants to cover it. Siberian Khatru. True. So I learned the bass lines and we practiced it. But we never found a drummer to play it!

[@jrjazz]

IMO Yes is one one of the best bands of all time. They are so masterful at taking different time signatures and completely different parts and weaving them into a perfectly executed seamless, work of art that sounds like it belonged together before it was ever written. Each song is an endless journey of joyful discovery at every level from the sound of each instrument, to the virtuoso playing, to the crafting of each part, to the way the parts fit together, to the final whole piece of art that leaves you stunned!

[@LynneConnolly]

Rick Wakeman - classically trained (the full monty, at the Guildhall, serious chops), chose to go to popular music, session musician along with the likes of Jimmy Page in London. Played on a lot of Elton John songs, including Your Song. Joined The Strawbs, left and joined Yes. Show him a keyboard, any keyboard, and he can play it. He played the church organ on a number of their songs, and would play it in their live performances, if one was available. I can attest to that. Had a weak heart, so living the rock star life, had a heart attack in his twenties, but that didn't really put him down for long. One of the best bands I've ever seen live. They were just so good. Saw them with Bruford and Moratz as well as White and Wakeman.

Later Yessongs came out and fried my mind. Hard core Yes fans know that the Drummer, Alan White Replace Bill Bruford between those two albums and had maybe a week to learn the set list. Alan White was awesome in the way he tended to be humble and stay in the background while the other four did their thing. Squire and White became a rock/rhythm duo second to know other. 22:35 CST 1-26-23!!

[@ericmalone3213]

Many ("prog") rock keyboard players play two keyboards at the time time & have racks of multiple keyboards on their set up, because they're using analog synths that are specifically programmed, so they combine different programmings for different songs, often playing two keyboards at once in different registers, as they don't have the time to re-program a synth between songs, & want to combine the textures of two differently programmed keyboards. It's pretty common.
