Can well believe it - I'm hearing things here that I've never heard before in terms of sheer performance. This is possibly my new go to for a live Yes performance.

It doesn't get any better than the classic lineup of Chris Squire, Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman & Alan White. This is the one and only true Yes.

you are unfair to other Yes awesome contributors.

One of the best Yes performances ever. The version of Siberian Khatru has to be the most wonderful ever, and takes me to another dimension where reality does not intrude.

Err the sound of the band is reality! Just sayin'.

[@egbertkohl9096]

@@francisbroka9471 I totally agree. In my opinion Yessongs is the best live performance from Yes.

[@slowhand5922]

Steve Howe is one of a kind! I'm a guitarist, too. But what he's doing is lightyears ahead. Not only playing all these strange, extraordinary melodic lines and rhythm patterns but to have the idea of them before is what I'm always impressed about. I take a bow in reverence and respect.

[@ledorzejean-etienne3747]

You got it right. His melodies are so imaginative, just as bass lines of Squire. But the whole Yes guys were genius. I like a lot Rabin too in a different way, he fits well for powerful melodies in big arenas and over the top solo. My feeling is that both worlds were not incompatible, Union tour is the proof of it, it was a huge success and fans like me would have paid a lot for a reunion tour again with the classic songs of the 70s combined with the best songs from 80s, union and Talk albums because there were gtop moments like miracle of life, shock to the system, talk..

[@UlrichDupree]

I startet listening to Yes when I was 15 in 1977. When we were young, we could see bands like Yes, Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant, Genesis, Frank Zappa, GAP Band, Gill Scott Heron, Earth Wind and Fire and more - and all for a few bugs. There was one festival in Germany with Alvin Lee, Joan Baez, Scorpions, Frank Zappa (Aposthrophe) and Genesis (And then there were three) organized by Fritz Rau (I think). I was 16 years (old), hitch hiking there and the festival fee was around 30 DM, which meens 15 Euros. Wow, thanks God, that I was born in the 60Ths. Thank you Thecotardreality for uploading this Masterpiece of Music. Love and Peace.

Today I listen this concert 3 times, working.. long time without connecting to my soul. Like a wall broke and breath my heart. Thanks for so much.

[@mallard4998]

YES: GENIUS AND INCREDIBLE COMPOSITIONS. HISTORY OF THE MUSIC

[@steviejd5803]

Watching this reminds of the phrase on the shoulders of giants: these musicians, esp Steve and Rick have shaped my musical experience in ways that keep barinf fruit, new joys, new hopes and old hope too. I once saw Steve play a solo gig in Reading, I think, I was in the front row with my wife, I was in awe, tears in my eyes to see my musical life friend before me, no words can capture the joy that Yes have brought me over the years, it's simply too deep an experience to convey in words. Waffle,waffle, sparkly eyes, sunshine too bright to see, fast running water cold to the touch that takes your breath away, seeing the rings of Saturn with your own eyes (like I have anyone else's eyes), crunchy toast and long mountain walks, the Grand Canyon sunset, whales that have funny eyes, cat's fur and hot chips.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Keys to Ascension - a video by Yes Released October 1996 Recorded 4-6 March 1996 Venue Fremont Theatre, San Luis Obispo, California, US Label CMC International Keys to Ascension is a video album by English progressive rock band Yes, released in October 1996 by CMC International. It featured the group's performances at the Fremont Theatre in San Luis Obispo, California in March 1996, following the return of guitarist Steve Howe and keyboardist Rick Wakeman in 1995, which marked the first performances of the band's "classic" line-up since 1979. The three concerts with the newly reunited lineup were followed by two double albums entitled Keys to Ascension and Keys to Ascension 2, featuring all new material alongside live tracks from the San Luis Obispo shows. This along with these companion albums were reissued in 2010 as the Keys to Ascension box set. Howe oversaw the mixing of the audio for the video. According to him, there are some sections where the audio does not entirely match what is being played on screen since the band recorded all three of its shows the Fremont, but only the last night was filmed, and during the mixing they sometimes dubbed in audio from an earlier show if it was played better than the last one. He blamed this in part on the budget for filming being only $6,000, far less than what might normally have been spent to produce a quality video.[1] A world tour was abruptly cancelled when Wakeman quit the band in mid-1997. He rejoined the band in 2002.
