YES Acoustic - Soundcheck (Steve Howe, Alan White, Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, and Rick Wakeman)

[@jolyonholloway483]

The good old days when Alan and Chris were still with us and the classic line-up were together.They all look happy.Even Steve!I wish it was still like this!

[@02R96]

Rick always seems to be having the most fun. Nice to see someone so talented not take himself so seriously!

[@MegaSeitan]

It's amazing how they still having fun playing together, this vid has a great atmosphere, I feel , and I see they're having a great time, playing and smiling Yes is one of the greatest bands ever ^^

[@maitreyalux]

These guys are amazing to watch live!!. I have been to every show since the 90`s and has always left me with months of true inspiration giving me a deeper understanding of life and a higher spiritual understanding of myself and my place of service to humanity.

[@Arthriticprince]

That was just awsome!! That's what music is all about...having fun and playing what you feel!!

[@jjacm3]

nice to see everyone smiling and enjoying the session!

[@eennymo]

C'mon, Chris! Don't just stand there! LOVE this! This is so cool!

[@marshallross3373]

Actually one of the coolest bits I've seen from Yes. I was happy to see Chris finally jump in, but he didn't appear to be that into it. But, ya, Wakeman and Howe certainly demonstrated their versatility and chops. So cool.

[@parisbrat]

It's so nice to witness musicians who actually like each other.

[@liteforme1]

How cool is this????? Way cool!!

[@bunkpage]

nice to see steve having a good time..

[@HousesOfTheHolyV]

Brilliant.

[@tunamlithobid]

Goodbye Alan White. Wish the sun to stand still Reaching out to touch our own being

[@Tudebekkie]

Steve still rocks!!

[@ballroomblitzkid1994]

My favorite part is the "Cleaning windows, cleaning windows..." bit.

[@Pighood]

They could be as whimsical as they wanted to be.

[@suzandouglass5241]

I remember seeing this in the theatre live. It was really fun. Had it's glitches, Like ya do. But yeah. These guys are/were the best!

[@Jonyes034]

great relax moment

[@mojo4404]

That was fun.

[@SWSguitar]

This was originaly supposed to be included on Topographic oceans...

[@tonto2009]

Great to see Rick smile.....

[@EggnogonthebogProductions]

WoW....Love it!

[@Astrosynthesist]

This alone makes Yes the greatest band ever xD

[@whateverwhatever44]

They sure can play as one.

[@green3825]

Funny....beyond sound check...These guys are the real deal.

[@lastdaysguitar]

Good fun on this one!

[@EcclesStephen]

Clearly these were happier times for this amazing group of musicians. It's a sad thing that such a deep fracture exists now between Anderson and some members of Yes, given that they're near the end of their careers. I will note lastly that one of the finest compositions of the 20th Century, "Awaken", was written primarily by Jon Anderson and Steve Howe.

[@IcamolEdgar]

genios los espero en monterrey nuevo leon mexico...

[@syntfyd]

The Lineup! Do I need to say more?

[@Cwspeedz]

Just had to add to favs. Chris cool as a cucumber as usual.

[@cakeman58]

I'm on a quest to get every Yes album on CD!

[@LighthousePromos]

Hi there, not sure if anyone replied or if you found the DVD already but I just bought it a couple of months back and this is on it along with the entire show and it was a great recording. If you search: "Yes Acoustic: Guaranteed No Hiss" it's available there.

[@CageyPea]

Squire, lolz. He frowns upon their shenanigans until finally giving in and joining along (sort of). Probably the only time you'll ever hear him play root-fifth "country" bass!

[@MysteryClown000]

Cleaning windows, cleaning windows, running up steps all day...haha

[@Wazabooz]

@tonto2009 I know, he's got a great smile! Good to see them all having fun.

[@sergiogalvez2612]

GENIOS POETAS !!!!! MAGISTRALES!!!!!

[@chadwick111fields]

Oh no, you can hear his Accrington accent no problem. Unlike most Brit rock vocalists he doesn't sing in an American accent - he's sung for 40+ years with a Lancashire accent and most folk didn't notice! Same as most folk didn't realize that a lot of dance and R&B music listened-to in the 1990s and produced using ProTools had Alan White's sampled drums and percussion, compiled by Trevor Horn! All that time the 'youngsters' had been listening to the Yes drummer!

[@Metal_Auditor]

These guys should do an unplugged show. I didn't know Jon could jam like that. he's usually just strumming.

[@kelvin921019]

Wakeman solo is my favourite part

[@patriotsdesign]

Virtuosos!

[@michaelkerins897]

So much has happened since then......it's 2023

[@thysmayness]

I hope to be at least 1/10 of how awesome they are.

[@TasmiaMallor]

@pryt86 The sound check is a matter of the audio engineer being able to make sure that all the mikes are working and the sound levels are appropriate. Jon's snapping and whistling would have driven me crazy if I was the engineer for that check! But....I love him anyway....

[@Evaquiel]

Yes, Jon. It sounds awesome anyway.

[@LVengaDoor]

Who are these kids?, sound promising.

[@Alarindris]

Oh that tiger, les paul tune :D

[@johnfearon]

2.55......Squire playing & Howe laughing......great 2c....lol

[@whisky2roxy]

RIP Alan

[@chadwick111fields]

Oh just amazing. These guys just piss all over 'modern' musicians. All improvised - Chris Squire just isn't switched into this sort of stuff but Jon, Steve, Rick and Alan have no problem with it. Steve and Rick could fit into any band or orchestra playing in the 20th and 21st century.

[@v1m]

Owner of jokey-pokey heart! (Actually, this is what all their albums sound like when played backwards.)

[@sightsizemethod]

hooooooooold that tiger!!

[@vardor]

hahaha running up steps all day...like today!

[@mazatleco17]

Chris is to cool.

[@NilezII]

He even got Howe to laugh!

[@ElFlakoRompanTodo]

could you upload the rest of the dvd?

[@Scottie_S]

I reckon....organized chaos! Luverly!

[@nintendo64isking]

@LordBurek just a little bit of the opening to long distance runaround

[@TasmiaMallor]

@pryt86 He tells Alan to be quiet and then snaps during Steve's check! Again..would have driven me crazy...I'll bet there were some choice words in the audio room...lolol.

[@Genderkaiser]

They all need to get together for jazz a bit more... I don't think they'd do too shabby as a jazz quintet for a side career

[@ElFlakoRompanTodo]

this kinda reminds me of the final scene on "school of rock"

[@marez71]

chris is not the type that improvises like he used to do years ago hes more aware of the song's root now, obviously back in the days there was a little bit of help from "those lsd years" like he once mentioned, but hes still an innovator hence my main musical inspiration, a truly artist.

[@AlexanderRummel]

yeah, I really enjoyed this one! first I also thought its a fake vid cause Jons guitar doesnt work :-)

[@jaimesorli2436]

true virtuosity, they sound amazing,bill bruford is god but allan white is better drummer than a lot of people belive.....

[@ElFlakoRompanTodo]

yeah i tried but you cant find the whole dvd

[@LordBurek]

hahaha wow amazing! btw does anybody know what that piece at 2:10 is?

[@tonusaitis]

Squire was probably too hungover to do anything other than stand there. That's why he has the shades on....

[@ugtibo]

Squire looks like my aunt Gert

[@DreamerEasy831]

I need to purchase this. Do you know if it available on DVD?

[@member805639]

I love Jon, but every time he plays guitar, do you, like me, wonder what the hell he's doing? :-D

[@zeropsycho]

Yesspeak 2004

[@pryt86]

@TasmiaMallor hahahah yea they were havin fun he thinks hes the fuckin boss of everything and u can tell alan is like wat dont tell me wat to do and he kept playin kinda quiet anyway

[@zachjohnson637]

*Pink Floyd is a poor man's Yes.

[@zappatx]

Anyone notice Jon Anderson looks like Vic Marrow or Sgt. Saunders from Combat! ??

[@ak47dragunov]

You'd be surprised. These guys hated each other at one point

[@Metal_Auditor]

Which dvd is it?

[@Genderkaiser]

It's hard to tell that Jon's actually from northern England.

[@AlobytesOgniddove]

ahahahah ^^

[@TacomaPaul]

@ballroomblitzkid1994 Too funny... that's what i do ! "Transparent Wall Maintenance Technician". I can charge more with a fancy name.

[@Tweekerhead]

Guess who the real musical genius's are on the stage.

[@pryt86]

god damn jon is bossy tellin alan to stop playin obviously all the instruments are workin but anyway this is fuckin awesome good shit here by talented people

[@NolikargAven]

squire is like fuck them im making my own band

[@Relayer56]

Love it. So wish these fellows had stayed together for a while longer. Miss you Chris.

[@Metal_Auditor]

Nevermind I wasn't paying attention.

[@ShanFerguson]

Looked as if that was more of a play around session than a sound check but sweet either way.

[@lethiapage4767]

Chris... 😂

[@perrtivrtsu6602]

Yes!!

[@djembeing]

i think chris squire doesn't like bluegrass

[@molluskable]

squire has no clue whats going on here

[@favorsham]

Chris Squire once again proving himself to be a humorless old fart.

[@NolikargAven]

except squire

[@4001XBASS]

Chris is not amused.

[@bigblockbob1]

What a bunch of musos. Still aint a band that can come close to Yes.

[@mawel1955]

Poor Chris. He seems to have lost his sense of humour. Old age, I guess.
