Roundabout

The classic Yes hit, Roundabout performed at Yessongs in 1973

[@JosefK93]

I realized there is not a single comment on the front page here about the performance so I thought I'd tell you my first impression: I'm speechless. The perfect blend of precision and creativity of these five people seems like it will continue to amaze me for every new song/performance I hear from them.

[@abecky88ba]

I love this song.When I was 10years old the babysitter let me call the radio station and request this song and they put me on the radio!!! How cool is that. .

[@laurenzojeffrey]

These guys were so ahead of their time and to pull off that music live flawlessly is crazy. No backing tracks, no pitch correction, just pure talent!

[@josshawthorn1801]

Zepp and Yes in 1975 were the two best concerts I ever saw... off the scale.

[@dirtydave2691]

My big sister who is now 62 and a Grandmother saw Yes, Zeppelin and The Who in the 70's. I have her to thank for turning me on to all this music.

[@donaldkalinich4323]

I first saw YES back in 1971 ay capital theater .passaic nj. Since then i chased them all over northeast ! Probably saw them 31 times. They still give me goosebumps !

[@Tkondrat]

[@Haaheomusic]

Man , thanks for the Memories, Wow , I remember, listening to roundabout with four of my friends , I think it was in 1972 ,we were all stoned on weed & hash , Driving down a mountain, What a trip that was, speakers blasting, Those were the day's. Long live rock & roll.... 54 & still rockin

[@MrZiggy019]

I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out an' out You spend the day your way Call it morning driving Through the south In an' out the valley The music, dance and sing They make the children really ring I spend the day your way Call it morning driving Through the south In an' out the valley In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky And they stand there One mile over we'll be there And we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be back And laughing too Twenty four before my love You'll see, I'll be there with you I will remember you Your silhouette will charge the view Of distant atmosphere Call it morning driving Through the south Even in the valley In and around the lake, woh Mountains come out of the sky And they stand there One mile over we'll be there And we'll see you Come again Ten true summers we'll be back And laughing too, oh, oh Twenty four before my love You'll see I'll be there with you Along the drifting cloud The eagle searching down on the land Catching the swirling wind The sailor sees the rim of the land The eagles dancing wings Create as weather spins out of hand Go closer hold the land Feel partly no more than grains of sand We stand to lose all time A thousand answers by in our hand Next to your deeper fears We stand surrounded by a million years 'Ill be the roundabout The words will make you out an out Ill be the roundabout The words will make you out an out In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky And they stand there Twenty four before my love I'll be there (Feels like) I'll be the roundabout The words will make you out an' out You spend the day your way Call it morning driving Through the south In and out the valley In and around the lake Mountains come out of the sky And they stand there One mile over we'll be there And we'll see you Ten true summers we'll be back And laughing too Twenty four before my love You'll see I'll be there with you There with you na, na, na There with you na, na, na There with you na, na, na There with you na, na, na There with you na, na, na There with you na, na, na There with you na, na, na There with you na, na {Thank you Thank you very much Take care of you}

countless hours over many years of listening to and seeing countless bands and it all goes back to my first rock concert. Yes, Boston Garden, 73. Wish I could go back

[@alantherealestateguy6833]

This was the song that turn me onto Yes. I've been listening to them ever since. They are the BEST!!!

[@planb2222]

One of *Yes'* best of all time! Excellent camera work from the crew. Thanks for sharing RHM.

[@bonniecase1423]

So sad to hear about the passing of bassist Chris Squire today. RIP

[@jamiespradling]

Excellent band . Glad I got to see them so many times in the 70's.

[@davidcravena]

Superb............Still alive at 50. This is great music no matter what age ye are!!

[@PBANDSNOW]

My god, Steve Howe is amazing. Its like he combines Classical, Blues, and Rock into one package.

[@waterfalldeva1]

the concert." I was so impressed. They have so much integrity and beyond that something spiritual- they are true musicians, true artists at their best. They made me proud to have been there and glimpse a bit of their personal (professional) world and share that part of rock history. They stand apart from most other rock bands. Jon Andersons' sweet gentle face is forever etched in my mind. I am so grateful for that moment.

[@charmingasalways]

I feel sorry for people not of my generation...I was a teenager in the '70s and all the music of music was in the '70s...great to have KZbin...otherwise all the kids not alive back then would not have the opportunity to hear it.

[@jackb1121]

Nothing can beat the artistry and musicianship of a group like Yes. They made the '70's a golden age for singer/songwriter groups. Nothing and no one can compare to them.

[@muchogustotaoskier]

My cousin showed me the first few bars of this about 30 years ago. Still can play it. Not hard but beginners might fid the harmonics and the hammer-down bass notes tricky. Great song, nice video. Best for me was live in N.O. In mid-70s. Last stop. Two feet from stage, unexpected friend. Champagne. A true roundabout. More like a party with Yes than a concert.

[@cubswincubswin]

Yes, Led Zeppelin, and Genesis (with Gabriel) were the best bands of the 1970's. The Who were great also....

[@donaldfage1438]

I'm a young listener and I love bands like these. I just bought Donald Fagen's Sunken Condos and I LOVE IT!!!

Hard to believe this was over 35 yrs. ago.Takes me back to a better time.When there were true musical geniuses at work that sound as good if not better live .People today have not a clue what real music is all about.Glad to have been able to see great shows like this when it was happening.I may have been a kid at the time but I will never forget what I saw and heard.Still listening today and always will.

[@TheFonz89]

I remember waking up to my dad playing this on his old LP's. He was Yes' biggest fan. So much so that I am named after Jon Anderson. When I listen to Yes I feel like he is still here with us. I wish he lived long enough for me to get the chance to tell him how much I love this beautiful music. Hearing this song makes me feel like hes still here and everything is ok.

i saw the roots play on south street in philly during a work shift lol. I walked in the office and nobody was there and i was like "Heck, where is everybody?" "Oh they're down the street listening to the Roots and not working. YOu wanna go? Go head" So I went. And it ruled.

Such an amazing song, such an amazing band

Was at that show in Toronto at Maple Gardens in '73....still got the ticket stub.

[@bbgb2002]

good luck with the cover, first concert I ever saw Huntsville Alabama 1976 cannot explain how awsome this was.

[@BlueSapphireheart]

just has to be one of the best songs in rock and roll history -long live the 70's!!!!!! loved this song growing up!!!!!

[@CRAMERR69]

They had one of the best stage shows of the day!

[@edstirling]

there are groups this talented performing new stuff today. it's not the same rock n roll, else it wouldn't be new. If you're like me, Yes opened your mind in a lot of ways. Keep your mind open.

[@MrTheancient]

Simply the best. There will never be another - just glad to have grown up listening to musicians who can actually PLAY

[@frankrizzo51]

I saw Yes in a 3,000 seat theatre in Merrillville, Indiana in the mid-90's. It was snowing and I had shorts on. John Anderson couldn't hit the high notes but the show still rocked.

[@TheNYCO89]

I saw yes in 78. It was one of the best concerts I ever went to. They had a circular stage and the album Tormato just came out. I never heard a band that played their songs with the exacting perfection of the album like this band. Shortly there after they started going to short songs that is when I stopped buying their albums. But their music is still great.

[@akinojapao]

Hi 👋 thanks for sharing times when the songs were good 👍🏻

This is the First YES song I ever listened to!! and I bought the LP right after it got me hooked! IT is great to see this video!

Great by YES...the best progresive rock band ever...always outstanding music. Thanks for share

[@suz1962]

I think was 76 saw them with Peter Frampton, Gary Wright & Lynard Skynard in Chicago....Everyone left after Frampton!!! I was right in front row!! Wakeman showed up. Totally awesome...

[@petermcintyre100]

This is a nostalgic piece of video. You can almost smell the 'patchouli oil' in the theatre. I was so entranced or in awe of Yes back in 73. Thanks for posting ¦¬D

[@OctaveDoct0r]

I got my first Yes album (Fragile) two years ago. This was the first song I listened to. Now I have gotten all 18 of their studio albums as well as 5 live albums. This takes me back to that day I first listened to my favorite band of all time. . .

[@sa65cn1]

The loudest band on the planet! I love them so much talent from relatively few musicians.

[@Starlababy]

I loved this song in the 70's. and beyond.

[@trendyjon1]

This band has taught me so much,,,,,YES FOREVER.

[@Interst890]

yes always had such a weird variety of members, but hell did they sound awesome...a smooth jazz singer, a symphonic/classical keyboardist, a classical guitarist who had the chops to rock out as hard as jimmy page, a bassist who played like a guitarist, and a very versatile hard rock drummer who even played on john lennon's "imagine" record. what a group.

[@modbob79]

38 years and still as fresh!

[@proudamerican57]

that what is great about classic rock. everyone down the line gets to enjoy it..

[@waterfalldeva1]

I met Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman in their hotel before their Detroit concert at Cobo Hall in this same year 1974. My boyfriend knew their producer Eddie Offord (?) and we were given a ride in his limo (sharing an apple he was eating) from the hotel to backstage. I remember I was dumb struck when Jon Anderson came said hello smiling right in my face in their hotel room. He had this most serene wise face with piercing eyes. My boyfriend offered him a smoke to which he replied, "never before

Amazing chemistry between the laid back and angelic Jon Anderson, like another day in outerworld, and the tensely complex music surrounding him. They both stand their ground.
