The key to the great majority of Yes songs is... happyness. They project a joyous world! ...usually in a complex, beautiful and baroque way so hard to explain, so good to hear :) _I listened hard, but could not see_

[@joelliebler5690]

Most of the time though z Relayer can take you on a wild and violent ride!

[@onsesejoo2605]

Indeed, what I like about Yes is that they are open to the listener unlike say Pink Floyd all though it has some good pieces throughout their career.

[@ScottDeBerg]

If I remember correctly, that first Yes song you reacted to was “Owner of a Lonely Heart”. For us lifelong Yes fans, that’s the least representative song of Yes. But I’ve loved you getting into so much more of their catalog.

[@davidcooklock129]

I agree. I have a few bands I like seeing reactions of, but I often cringe at the first song people choose. For Yes, it's Owner of a Lonely Heart. For the Alan Parsons Project, its Eye in the Sky. They were hits, of course, but sooo unrepresentative of what these bands meant to prog rock.

[@barbmurray8557]

Brought in new fans

[@TigerMtnKing]

YES!!! The greatest band in the history of mankind!🤩

[@anthonyhedberg6471]

Many, including myself, consider this masterpiece to be the single greatest album of all time. I bought it the day it came out, and I still play the cd every time I'm driving. I still have that original album. I cannot adequately express the impact this one album has had on my life. I saw it performed live as well. Listen to Yes...really listen...it will change your life. Great reaction BTW. ✌😎

[@tkay4401]

2:15... 100% totally agree. The keyboard notes in the background create such a beautiful ambience. Those keyboard notes really make the intro truly excellent. This bands excels at making such unique sounds, beautiful sounds, heavenly sounds.

[@brianjacob9084]

I've been listening to them my whole life and never tire of them. Just transcendent and beautiful music. These guys were reaching higher than everyone else and had the talent and creativity to deliver.

[@maryannturton9830]

Yes,transcendent is the perfect word for Yes!

[@davidcooklock129]

Thanks for this. One of my faves from Yes. I like watching Yes reactions because it seems everyone who discovers Yes is immediately a fan, and for all the reasons you say. The musicianship, the writing, their sound - I mean EVERYONE is a Yes fan, they just don't know it yet.

[@vicprovost2561]

Yes, I have found for all the really great bands of that era, it does not matter how young or old, what country, race, ethnicity or tribe, anyone with any musical soul will be an instant fan of great, classic rock. YES is around the head of the class, very few with their musical chops, for me, when I want prog, it is either them, Pink Floyd, ELP, King Crimson or Genesis, all those bands are at an insane level of musical virtuosity, listen to any of their best songs and tell me you are not a fan. Chord is awesome, keeping great music alive. I just wish Dee would make a guest appearance sometime, I miss her.

[@vicprovost2561]

Chod, chord is a spell check mistake.

[@maryannturton9830]

Lmao,Everyone is a Yes fan,they just don't know it yet!😅

[@sandraandmichaelfield1602]

Chod, the look of sheer joy on your face as you listen to Yes says it all! It's the same joy I felt 52 years ago when I was first getting into Yes. With Peace and Love to all! (Michael)

[@mark-be9mq]

Beautiful song. Puts me back into my younger years.

[@realbser1956]

Brilliant song by Yes, arguably their most beautiful. Jon Anderson’s vocals are next level. That completes the Close To The Edge album for you Chod, finally. Enjoyed your reaction and thoughts as always. 😀

[@elegantirony78]

Looking good on the drums Chod. Rick Wakeman is a wizard on the keyboards including organ. Starship Trooper is really good

[@britannicvalente]

Awesome reaction! Im 21 and Yes is also my favorite group. No other band makes me feel the way their music does. I had the honor of meeting the keyboard wizard himself, Rick Wakeman about a month ago and it was amazing. Keep up with the great music :)

[@tomm9493]

My dad passed away at 92, but because of YES KZbin videos, he absolutely LOVED YES and especially Jon Andersons voice. Everyone should look up and watch a Yes orchestral video call Soon. Such a beautiful song that highlights his unique voice.

[@Scatherfirst]

Close to the Edge may never be equaled for originality, boldness, virtuosity, and sheer creativity. Isn't it nice they left you this treasure after all your Yes reviews?

[@leoscone4036]

How hard is it to have to not listen to everything your favorite band has done because you have to save it for a reaction? That you are only now hearing "And You And I" blows my mind, as it did yours. Blessings.

[@marshallross3373]

Nice reaction. Since you're a drummer, it'd be interesting to hear your analysis of Bill Bruford's choices in the drum track, particularly how his percussion helps in the transition from section to section in the song. On a related note, BB retired from drumming a few years back because he said that he got to the point where he could no longer envision something new to play. One of his big motivations as a musician since he started professionally was to come up with new approaches and fresh ideas. He considered doing something not seen or heard before his primary "job" as a drummer. Evidently, after 40 years of playing he began to struggle to find that newness, and decided to hang up the sticks. Anyway, I personally believe Bruford's drumming was an essential ingredient in the success and creative energy in the band. Yes went on to create more great and innovative music with a new drummer after 1973, but Bruford really set the tone for the band's attitude toward composition, imho.

[@williamburkholder769]

Senior year of high school, 1972... Takes me back every time. This album kept me sane and crazy at the same time.

[@j.jennings1722]

I'm very happy, right now, Chod! Yes! You've finally returned to Yes! Great reaction to a fantastic song by my favorite band, which you've reacted to a bunch of songs by already. In fact, I thought you had already reacted to this one. I'm glad you hadn't. However, I know there is at least one more classic track that you have not yet reacted to and that's "South Side of the Sky," which is a fan favorite and sooo awesome. Back me up, people. Ask Chod to react to South Side of the Sky by Yes!! ❤✌

[@JimObsolete]

[@bookhouseboy280]

Rick Wakeman: "Close to the Edge was not just one piece. It was a whole scenario of three pieces. And "And You And I" is like a mini-quintet-sonata in a strange way. It has different movements which all go into each other. The object was of having a piece of music that was everything that the Yes critics hated us for and the Yes fans loved us for, which was emotion ... The thing about technology going ahead of musicians is it has taken away the human element ... That was a wonderful period of time."

[@charlied7571]

My favorite Yes song... for decades! 🙃

[@lorieprieto-wells9734]

Maybe I’m crazy but i listen to this entire album every day when I walk my dog. Every day. Thanks Chod!

[@davidvornsand9551]

Fortunate to see Yes live in a stadium where they had a round stage that rotated slowly and had every instrument known to man and wired the stadium with surround sound! the absolute best!

[@markroberts8864]

The bassist, Chris Squire, was also a backing vocalist to Jon Anderson's lead vocals. RIP, Chris died of lukemeia in 2016

When that mellotron comes in at the 6:00 mark is ends shivers down my spine every time. A request - a song that no-one seems to react to from Yes. A little more straightforward than most of their tracks but catchy as f***: "Lift Me Up".

The lead singer, Jon Anderson, also worked with keyboardist Vangelis, their prettiest song is I'll Find My Home.

[@jimralston7562]

Epic! I give Yes CTTE album my all time number one because it's so positive as well as masterful musically. It always turns around my mood and let's me see the beauty in people and the world. Isn't that the highest calling for art and music?

[@julieb.5860]

they were something to see, as you can imagine. I saw them OMG 49 years ago, and I also saw Jon Anderson on his solo tour 81 I think, outdoors under a lunar eclipse. Magic!!!

[@jimdukeproject]

Your video came up probably because of my mention of Yes in the algorithms. Nonetheless, I love when people appreciate the musicianship of Yes and glad you had the chance to experience them. They are truly top musicians.

[@auntieprimrose4138]

My fav yes song, and in my top 3 of all time. totally timeless masterpiece

[@mikevandenboom5958]

Yes Jon's voice is unique and he has lent it out to other musicians, like Gowan in the song Moonlight Desires. Also Toto in the song stop loving you. These are 2 off the top of my head. They were background vocals but like you said his voice stands out and you pick it up instantly.

[@h00liganismo1]

He was also the lead vocalist on the track with Tangerine Dream that closed the Legend Soundtrack, "Loved By the Sun"

[@benjaminsanabria6021]

As much love as I have for Close to the Edge (the song), I think this is probably my favorite from the album. It makes me misty-eyed every single time. Absolutely a masterpiece. I'm glad you're enjoying more Yes. I hope you have a good rest of your week!

[@ShiverHinge]

Yes does what music is for.

[@davidhenderson9715]

"YES"!...the pinnacle of auditor/brain titillation. Been listening to their music (over-and-over) for 50 years now and they are STILL THE BEST band I have ever heard! Jon Anderson (Zen Master/vocals+), Chris Squire (greatest bassist-of-all-history), Steve Howe (most versatile "stringed-instrument-musician ever), Bill Bruford/Allen White (amazing drummers) and then (maybe the greatest keyboardist of all time) Rick Wakeman had that "something" that has never (and will never) be duplicated. Imagine being 15-16 years old in 1975, listening to music like "The Beatles", "Doors", "Deep Purple", "Joni Mitchell", etc....and then I get my hands on this shit! MY MIND WAS BLOWN! Changed my musical life! I was so worried that they couldn't reproduce it live. Man, was I wrong! So, check-out some of their live stuff (though good video/audio is hard to find back then) and enjoy YOUR lifelong journey with "YES" as much as I have. Thanks for your show and I have enjoyed watching/hearing your reactions to this amazing, under-rated band. Reminds me, of me, 50 years ago.

[@tonygrinney7115]

Hi Chod! "Coming quickly to terms with all expression laid, emotion revealed as an ocean maid" Yes have made some amazing songs with lots of emotion CTTE, Awaken, Gates of Delirium but this remains my favourite.

Go see Anderson with The Band Geeks if you can, they are killing it and Jon is sounding amazing.

[@jackw467]

It's uplifting and emotional 🌟 Jon Anderson

[@kevin_g1164]

Chod, hope your son recovers quickly. Onto this song it is one of the amazing greats from the top shelf CTTE album. So is not possible to go wrong with such a choice. You need to go look for Jon Anderson and the Geeks band. They have some great classic Yes material on You Tube. And Jon's voice is amazing. He is really the voice of Yes even today. The emotional ride this song takes you on is great and so very Yes. If you want to experience music listen to Yes.

Your comment about combined happiness and sadness oddly reminded me of the line from Comforably Numb -“When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse out of the corner of my eye, I turned to look but it was gone.” There’s a mystery in our souls that encompasses these things as one.

Off the Yes subject, If you want a deep cut of Steve Gadd from the 70’s, check out Maynard Ferguson “The Cheshire Cat Walk”. It also features the late Chick Corea on Synths. Incredible musicians all around them.

At the times ( 70' ) there where Music and bands so talented ... i consider been so luky for been a teen at the time , i growed up in a mid / poor class neighborhood in S.A. but so curious about Music ans luky enough to have friends ( sharing LP's) and Radio Stations playing almost every band ( ELP , Genesis , Yes , Jethro Tull , Gentle Giant , Urea Heep , King Crimson , Mahavishnu Orquestra , Gong , Frank Zappa etc.) , keep on listening my friend , congrats .

[@vicprovost2561]

The first time seeing them they did this album in its entirety, there were 12 of us that went and the guy in the row in front of us had a big bag of powdered mescaline. His row, our row, and the row in front of him, tripped their brains out through all of Tales From the Topographic Oceans, then an intermission is soon followed by Close to the Edge. The encore was Roundabout. I have no clue how we got home but one of the most incredible psychedelic experiences ever for me, I still remember Rick Wakeman in his glittering robe, moving within an enclave of keyboards and moog synthesizers, sending unreal sounds into the cosmos. Man, those were the days, all this great 70s music you listen to, every show I went to back in those days cost from $3.50 for 4 hours of raging Hot Tuna to $8.50 for the original The WHO or classic Pink Floyd, the sweet smell of good herb was in the air and the atmosphere was so different, hardly any cops, no guns to worry about, just peace, love and a great time. YES is dope, with or without some. Try Siberian Khatru from the same album or the title cut if you have not heard it as yet. Great stuff and times, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@studentjohn35]

One of the reasons they had to be in the studio for such a long time was Rick doing his best to keep the MiniMoog in tune. The original model D was notorious for pitch drift.

The notes at the beginning sound almost arbitrary and ad-libbed, but after hearing this song live countless times, you come to realize how deliberate each note is and would miss even one if not played.

[@frankhoulihanfh4972]

I have recently decided this is true. That intro, Steve’s harmonics. Eddie says, “We’re running now.” Steve responds, “Okay.” Rick’s quiet backing chord on the organ. Sets up the entire song. Gets more beautiful every time I listen to it. Which is alot! One of my all time favorite pieces of music from anyone, ever.

If you want an insight in how yes create music check out the "Going for the One" sessions videos to get a feel for how this works back in late 1976/77. Also, Yes Acoustic video narrated by Rick Wakeman (keyboard player) although this comes much, much later. Rick's sense of humor and delivery is just so funny commenting on the other band members. But these are for you in answer to your question how do Yes come up with this stuff. It's not reaction material though.
