[@quicksite]

+starmanbridges ---- Wow, i just happened to be in the mood to listen to "Revealing Science of God" and to watch +vzqk50HD 's great videos... I noticed Larry's comment at the top of the page; the purple tint is kind of a grabber. It must have been posted approximately October 2015 based on its timestamp... He mentions a health problem; and below he asks that people pray for Rick Wakeman. ... So I wondered if he was associated with YES so I googled. Unless I am really badly mistaken, sadly, it appears as though Larry Beckham, who posted above, passed away about 3 months after posting here (on Jan 6, 2016). LINK: www.legacy.com/obituaries/indystar/obituary.aspx?pid=177177845 The purple tinted image matches other images that seem to point to this same person. It matches this Twitter account, whose last entry is dated OCT 7, 2015. That entry reads: "Larry Beckham ‏@Coolabaka 7 Oct 2015 So, what time today will the world end?" I imagine this magestic piece by YES could have been among the last beautiful things he experienced. ***If I am mistaken about the correct Larry Beckham, I deeply apologize and will certainly remove this post if so. But something tells me I am not mistaken.

Luckily, I had some people who were able to help make the original meeting happen...it was a few months before I had a chance to catch him for a minute or so...

It shows what Yes could achieve when all of their brilliant parts produced an astoundingly beautiful whole.

First listening, was on am radio, the entire 22 mins. I kid you not. In 68 Beatles Hey Jude was considered the longest song ever played on commercial radio. That was a huge milestone. 5 yrs later-a lifetime when your young, and so much going on in the world as it kept radically changing back then-this. It was still hard to believe that they would play such length! But, they did. I was 19, and I loved every note and nuance. I play it now about once a month, or last 2 days about 4 or 5 times, totally immersed in the glory of it, and the video work too is glorious. Thanks Yes, for such beauty.

Read the liner notes from Tales. It's about God but only in the sense of Eastern mysticism. We are all God, blah blah. The song was influenced by a book by a yogi. Can't remember the book's name and I guess you have to buy the original vinyl to read the liner notes. I haven't seen the notes on the cds I have of this album.

I get that, but is still about the whole experience of "God" whatever take one takes on it.

I honestly believe that if a national radio station gave Yes some airplay there would be a flood of people like Israel Quezada. They are one of the most fantastic musical geniuses of our time.

[@michaelward5670]

That's a pretty safe bet; I agree Joseph. Flood is a good word. Flood of elevated senses and peace that such beauty exudes. "Yes lives matter" has a bit of a ring to it.

It seems like you almost have to get your music in a commercial or some HBO show to get noticed. FM Radio getting bought up by big communications companies with national playlists cut a big hole in the music industry. When Yes first came out FM had looser restrictions on what to spin and that had a big influence on music. I heard Yes on FM before I bought their records. And they'd play the whole cut, not some three minute edited thing.

[@muzzerfuzzer2468]

Kathy, I'm probably older than you and I remember a time that your position at a station was brought about by your tastes in music. There were busts of many during the "Payola Scams". That exposed exactly what you refer to. What they did about it caused big money to see that the only way to make real money was to buy up the media and promote those who they chose as music to calm the masses. You will never hear any anti establishment music again because of it. Other than the off hand giggle box stuff. Music that was a treat for the soul or music about real truth is all but gone now. Luckily I still have a large collection of vinyl from that era. If I can say anything about music that matters? If I stand for what matters? Tell everyone to go to used record stores and buy up what YES they can find. Tapes too.

That's a good point you made. In the late 70's and early 80s, I probably drove my friends crazy playing Yes records, because the radio would only usually play the big 3 (Roundabout, I've seen all good people and Owner of a lonely heart), and I wanted everyone to hear all these other amazing songs by Yes, that the radio didn't play (except on very rare occasions).

[@muzzerfuzzer2468]

Yep...and those were late at night, where all the noncon DJs hid.

Awesome Imagery, and as a Yes head since 75,appropriately as profound as this masterpiece...I sit here with my 21 year old nephew trying to show him what the "light" is...Who better to represent it than Yes...We were jamming to this at 15 and 16 and these kids have never heard a note of it...A sad commentary on the state of said "light". . . Burn brighter ye in the light; we need the light to blind the ignorant and dark dwellers...ONE LOVE, ONE YES.
