Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart - Live `88

[@TATER1971]

I was about 11 or 12 when 90125 came out....I know the purists will say the earlier material was better...and I can't say I am familiar with much of it. All I can tell you is that as a kid...hearing 90125....I loved it.....beginning to end....and still do.

[@bradley3141]

So glad my Dad played these guys to me none stop in the car when I was a kid, love em! :)

[@wardpike]

Fantastic. Wonderful live performance showcasing monsters talents, unlike the YES of today which ... makes me very sad.

[@1Vurgas1]

this after making unearthly godly music with close to the edge tales and relayer, ... its hard to be something like a music fascist, and its nothing that you really want to be ... but after listening to those records ... its just tears of joy and grief about what the whole music thing came down to today

[@luffythepirateking]

even though i wasn't born in the 80's, i think Yes is awesome, both the old Yes and the trevor rabin revived Yes

[@Gaming4Jesus]

Aw, yes! Jon Anderson! The TRUE voice of Yes!

[@receng50]

@SyrtakiVampir They used the case from a MagLite flashlight and put a small condenser microphone in it, with a switch on it.

[@TheMKPolice]

The main guitar riff is awesome ! Sounds like 80's an nothing else to add !!

[@Mr8bitgamer]

Sucha a briljant song.

[@jaxmikey59]

That beginning peice is "Make It Easy" It's on "Yesyears"

[@callie1981101]

i love this stuff man. where are they now!! owner of a lonely

[@Kinjutsuu]

Fantastic voice..

[@JDavis4991]

@EddieG1888 Thank you very much

[@AdvocatePower]

The original voice of YES.. love him!

[@attherateofarobase]

Fabulous. Check out Trevor Rabin at 1:09..he fluffs the D chord in the opening riff to "Owner" and hits an Eb, but then twists it to try and mask it..Awesome!!

[@joyschulz7794]

God what a great voice!!!

[@JohnnyBeane]

Yeah that crackling sounds like it's coming from a bad wire on stage. This was on live tv right?

[@over50years]

Yes, It's Trevor Rabin!

[@jamiepastman5594]

There's a weird noise the first 2 minutes

[@mitchcarson6309]

What is the noise? Sounds like a bad connection.

[@luffythepirateking]

nope, that is the trevor rabin playing for Yes during that time

[@jcm8002204]

I like Rabin's tone and playing ability.....CAI was plagued with customer service issues....are you familiar with their equipment ?

[@beagleguitar]

Trevor doesn't have a whammy bar on that strat

[@spidercentz]

"Owner of a loaner car (much better than a) owner of my normal car!"

[@2simontemplar]

fine to see this here - but where´s the great end?!

[@paolocarnelli74]

Anyone knows the complete setlist for that? I remember watching that on tv at the time and they broadcasted the following songs: Make it Easy/Owner - Seen All Good People - Hold On and Roundabout...

[@simonlinton123]

Have to agree with the posters who found that Yes did not age well - like Jethro Tull, the early albums are the best. Anyone remember Focus? Exploded on the UK scene after Hocus Pocus was performed on The Old Gray Whistle Test with "Whispering" Bob Harris. I got the last copy of that album and it was one of the few albums I had my kids liked...

[@jcm8002204]

Sound dies at about 0:38...not sure what their technical problem was....Trev's great player, but clearly miss a couple chords early on.....even w/o monitors, he missed fret positions....probably laughed it off. Probably a Bradshaw system.....hard to get service when overseas or someplace CAI doesn't want to fly in....

[@Danieldangaw]

trevor rabin ftw! also steve howe but rabin realy know how to play guitar! YES!!!!

[@Mrjablles69]

@johnnybeane maybe there's a bunch of synthesizers back there but roadies get tired and confuse them for couches

[@ggeilian]

Cheers for that.

[@JDavis4991]

Great song, i absolutely love it! can anyone tell me what kind of bass they are using?

[@billybundorxo]

Late reply, but for anyone wondering it’s a Mouradian CS bass

[@chriso8193]

Hell No.

[@JahJahBruh]

@arweiss100 the reason this is a number 1 must be because it is really commercial, compared to early yes.

[@jcm8002204]

It does have a tremolo system, just not a bar attached to the bridge. See 1:04-1:08 and you can clearly see the white tremolo cover when he holds his guitar up,,,,still doesn't explain his missed fret positions....human error..big deal....killer tone and Great Flange/Chorus effects and tone....

[@RomanSO2004]

LIVE! I can hear it

[@755hp]

Legendary

[@0scarsill0]

you didn't see Chris Squire doing something similar during a quiet part of Heart of the Sunrise a couple of days ago in Seattle. Even the best players have mental breakdowns

[@asianwannabeamerican]

what was that first song that was playing right before "Owner of A Lonely Heart"?

[@latengocomoburro]

What are those weird sounds???? Disturbing!

[@vivelavidarocka]

@manohman101 They were. I saw them in the late 80's when I was 13 years old with the Big Generator tour. And there was this cool combination in the audience of ex hippies (no offense intended) in their forties and youngsters following their later material (not me , my older bro had introduced me to the band since I was 7 yrs) Was an awesome party. In one of their concerts, me and my buddy were picked up by this two older chicks and having a great after concert party. That was his/mine 1st time

[@Mineav]

Trevor did great on the solo and the bridge right after, but what was with that intro to the song? Yikes. Pretty good, overall.

[@charliebell01]

why Jon anderson separated from the band?

[@94AccordAW]

@musicphan1 But you're watching it?

[@glennquagmire7696]

Setlist: Owner, Good People, Hold On, Roundabout

[@kworld01]

TR hit a wrong note at 1:08 oops!!

[@PrimericanIdol]

Where's Steve Howe?

[@nashtndawg]

Trevor is great, but Steve is NOT overrated!

[@FutureKubrick]

That's not Steve Howe on guitar!

[@stevezane]

How do you embellish a song by going off key? The thing is he made a mistake and so what...I fucked up live too and it happens.

[@4001XBASS]

@OverlordRulerOfAll That's a pretty harsh reaction, totally uncalled for. He didn't pitch bend, it was a D sharp instead of D. One-half note off, wavering between the two. If you want to get into it, I play the song live, played in a Yes tribute band, so please, be a little less critical. It's sometimes not easy to hear yourself onstage.

[@Satiaraha]

The Progressive-pop era from YES

[@Pawor9]

Poeple think they can caption the experience on a phone?

[@MovieGamingTV]

i think it sounds cooler at 1:08 even if he messed up

[@knuffibestever]

@TheWolvie450 i think 1:09 was on purpose as a more freely played intro ... but i agree with you that the vocals were aweful in some parts , let alone the front man's ability to dance

[@stevezane]

Its an intro to owner of a lonely heart called cinema

[@ggeilian]

Correct.

[@stevezane]

Sounds like an accident and he then tried to make it natural...lol He's one of my favorite Axe player.

[@francismori7]

Yeah true :D

[@EddieG1888]

@PSYKOPUNK666 You're welcome. ;-)

[@Acegamer22]

Are there any lyrics?

[@Algore2509]

good

[@Tmatensalat]

i Like

[@dockaiser]

Ups ... Trevor fucked that opening riff big time

[@FutureKubrick]

Oh fair enough lol

[@luffythepirateking]

well, if you given up on them during those times, then i guess you can move on to other things, which if you did, then good, because bands do change their style

[@SuperSparrow45]

Owner of a lonely horse.

[@Roland1984]

Owner of a horse and cart.

[@mradd123]

1:07 whoooops ahahaha

[@pryt86]

make it easy

[@beagleguitar]

Yeah ... yikes! They must have had no monitors or something. This is BAD!

[@Smittyschannel]

1:46 he missed the lyric!!!!! omg he sang the wrong lyrics

[@over50years]

No it's not Steve!

[@palmcoast100]

Steve Howe can not play this song, too new...Steve likes to play old songs

[@stevezane]

MOSKII58, shit happens to all of us musicians..I'm sure if you are a musician you must have screwed up in a gig at one point.

[@Akilarae]

ok. criticism. is ther anythign yo u did like

[@NaYarB04]

what the fuck happen? 20 years later every thing becomes shit...

[@EddieG1888]

@PSYKOPUNK666 Mouradian CS-74

[@sweetnothing1977]

Rabin >> Howe..with all due respect.

[@MOSKII58]

wrong chord he was 1/2 step sharp wow how embaraassing, for such a great player

[@ETericET]

I like the song .. buts not the real Yes .. you need steve for that.

[@isonu84]

He's prancing around like a school girl! Haha, you can tell he's reaching for notes, needed to gather some support! Hahaha, I don't mean to be laughing it's just the dancing..... Lol, and he waves "at someone" up high as if they waved to him first, haha no one could see that far... Check it out again, I'm tellin' ya.. it'll get to you I swear!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, great song though, love it!!!

[@Daved241]

Yes was better in the 70's, after Drama, they just did shit

[@whopper1209]

live always sucks, the original is better... like at 1:08 wrong note.... 1:51 "shake,wa, shake yourself!" it needs to be: "shake,WHOW, shake yourself!"

[@ybrix101]

1:08 - F*&%! maybe this is why they didn't put this on the HBO or ABC broadcasts. HO, ISAGP, and R sound much better than this one!

[@musicphan1]

good band, but this song is kinda sucky. This performance is even lamer. It should be called, "Owner of a Lonely Fart." Ugh. At least their early stuff is pretty good.

[@beagleguitar]

lol .... you're obviously not a musician. "a deliberate improvisation" .... that's funny!

[@NintendoPsycho]

Too poppy.

[@NintendoPsycho]

@Jeremy Spade Too much truth.

[@laurajm25]

terrible performance...
