For Yes officianados, Heart of the Sunrise is a big favorite. Demonstrates their hard edge rock n roll side, while also demonstrating their penchant for creating extended compositions consisting of multiple "movements". This is what rock-n-roll produced by Mozart would sound like. Goosebumps every time.

[@kenanthony1202]

Also…Bill Bruford plays an advanced class of prog rock drumming on this song. Awesome

[@1ouncebird]

His drumming on this is absolutely killer.

[@michaelyork4554]

Masterpiece, Perfection, Ultimate Musicianship, Brilliant Creativity. That is my analysis.

[@TheProgCorner]

My favorite song ever!!!! Play this at my funeral, please…

[@jameshannagan4256]

My favorite drummer ever and my favorite bass player ever, just an incredible pair.

[@Geoffreydarcy-pv4mq]

Fish Out Of Water. Enough said.

[@normandaubry]

For me that’s the greatest drum/bass combo in rock: great technically, very creative and distinctive, pioneering, and with a great/unique sound. And they play with dynamics incredibly well!

[@alvinwagner6085]

Mine too. Throw in my favorite guitar player too.

[@zeuslizard1997]

Masterpiece. Powerful, soft, emotional...It just doesn't get better than this.

[@wendellwiggins3776]

Great to hear you still going down the list of classic epic songs from this incredible band! Their well is still deep specifically during the amazing 70's

[@276parpir]

An absolute gem and brilliantly produced!!!!!!!!

[@lloydbraun6026]

Playing the album, at the end, it goes right into a reprise of We Have Heaven. I nice finish to the album

[@capt.k6554]

My favorite YES song!

[@martinellis7156]

Simply one of my favorite pieces of music, Yes produced sounds of such beautiful complexity that connect on some very deep level with my brain waves. After listening to this song many times over it seems brand new and surprising every time, which I guess is the definition of "classic" and "timeless". Always a pleasure to listen along with you.

[@johng.8517]

Keep the YES music coming. Plenty of good ones. I suggest "The Gates of Delirium".

[@greenbluemonkey]

In my top ten Yes songs. Great reaction!

[@eddiecriglington400]

Yes, another Masterpiece. 🎶❤️🎶

[@ianlejeune6012]

If you are interested in structural and harmonic interactions, perhaps you are ready for some Gentle Giant. Can I suggest a gentle introduction - 'On reflection' or 'His last Voyage'.

[@rogerhennie8939]

And the accoustic Guitar duet with Gary Green and Ray Shilman. Live from Knots I think, available on KZbin.

[@tubinreo]

This is actually my favorite Yes song. Always has been, since 1971-72. Released Nov 12, 1971; not sure if I had it in '71.

[@onsesejoo2605]

This bursting in after the classically influenced solo number "Mood For The Day" by Steve Howe.

[@prischm5462]

One thing about Yes, they were never boring.

[@PaulScherdell]

Masterpiece. Good to see a pro's review.

[@jeffwood32]

Thank you, I've seen them many times over 47 years and every time I walk away amazed, unbelievable but yet I don't know anything about music, I just know it's an experience like no other. I'm so glad to see a professional like yourself sharing your first thoughts on music I grew up with. Thanks again

[@James-c8s9z]

Listen to that jazz drumming!! Damn!

[@jonathansmith3742]

As much as I love the music what stands out for me is Jon's vocals. Sharp Distance, How can the wind with its arms all around me. Beautiful.

[@erikahlander3489]

If you want to check the very early prog or proprog - and we exclude Beatles - you have this (subjective) list: the Nice (Keith Emerson before ELP) "Dawn" (1967); the Vanilla Fudge cover of the Zombies' "She's not there" (1967; they used to take hit songs and transform them to something new); Jethro Tull, "Dharma for one" (1968); Frank Zappa "It can't happen here" (1966); Soft Mashine "Priscilla" (1968); Rolling Stones "2000 lightyears from home" (1967); Family "Drowned in wine" (1970); Chicago Transit Authority "Introduction" (1969).

[@Geoffreydarcy-pv4mq]

King Crimson. Start with the fist album. Keep going.

[@unichusettsofmassadversity9705]

Bass and drums! Squire and Bruford. Amazing! Add an Anderson and Wakeman and you've gone epic! A solid band.

[@Llydrwydd]

Steve Howe's guitar playing also has it's moments.

[@fernandotor3266]

This is a master class

[@JoneRuiz]

I agree!

[@GTO4now]

YES! 😊

[@marklar9156]

Despite you struggling somewhat with English your love for this masterpiece was very clear - so I salute you and give you my like! For me the three greatest prog works are 'Starless' and 'Epitaph' by King Crimson & 'Heart of the sunrise' by Yes. One fairly uncommon gem, also a long, complex and symphonic piece you could react to is 'Tenemos Roads' by National Health. (Or practically any track from their second album 'Of queus and cures' all are top quality prog. Or how about 'Master builder' from Gong? That would be very interesting too.

[@davidzornes6863]

The drummer , Bill Bruford was only 21 years old when YES were making the FRAGILE lp.

[@jameshannagan4256]

Close to The Edge is a masterpiece in my opinion (the album after this one).

[@franciscodiaz183]

A masterpiece.

[@scottzappa9314]

Meanwhile, my favs. are Jon Anderson and Steve Howe, among the best for Steve, Jon is very hard to beat. This band is light years ahead, especially compared to today's stuff.

[@bocconom]

Exactly. I love Steve Howe's work; I love the whole band!

[@johnmorris8799]

As a guitarist, you must really review Harlequin (live) by PFM. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

[@pbwbrian53]

Though in my tier-2 of prog, it always pleases me to see PFM mentioned. PFM Cook cooks.

[@douglaskrug4806]

Thanks for the insightful review,Jone. Yes is one of the all time great bands of the progressive rock era. This is one of many epic tracks and, if you plan to react to more Yes songs, I highly suggest “Close to the Edge”, “Awaken” and “And You and I” just to name a few. Think you will thoroughly enjoy them and appreciate the brilliant artistry. Will continue to follow your reviews as I appreciate the assessment of a true musician like yourself.

[@JoneRuiz]

Thank you so much for all these suggestion! I think i did all of those before. Check out my playlist to watch them. Again, thank you!

[@RedPillMode]

Camera Eye from Rush is a close relative to this song. Probably just in my head.

[@rogerhennie8939]

Rush is a pale copy of Yes.

[@RedPillMode]

@@rogerhennie8939 Oh Really.

[@SoundLevel11481]

Fragile is the only album by YES that I still listen too. The other albums are great and the tunes are great, and I once loved them... but now this is the only album I turn to for "YES" time.

[@docnflossie7351]

That’s interesting. Fragile is the one I almost never listen to. Maybe I’ve heard it too much over the years. I’m on a Going For The One binge these days. And a Relayer every so often.😊

[@allanmartin1005]

There is only YES. Chris Squire, an master craftsman, where Chris would lead others would follow. RIP Chris.

[@maximoriso2843]

Hi. You have to listen to the live version (from 1972) of Your is no disgrace. The video version is not very good, but the Yessongs album is incredible. Howe is at his best. Regards from Argentina, Máximo

[@jameshannagan4256]

Great song from a great album. I'm also hoping for more Radiohead.

[@fernandotor3266]

Yes.greatest prog band

[@jameshannagan4256]

I think it helps the channel if I make a number of short comments instead of my usual incredibly long ones. For me I would rather hear your impressions and emotional state then a detailed breakdown, you're giving us your reaction after all.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

I come here just to hear him say JES, cracks me up every time 🎶🙏🎶

[@donaldanderson6604]

This was a sort of response to the first King Crimson album, with the terrifying bursts of speed and sudden tempo changes. Yes and Crimson used to hang out at the same clubs in London and Fripp was even approached to join Yes. Fripp had wanted Bruford for ages and snagged him after Close to the Edge. This is a superb piece.

[@Geoffreydarcy-pv4mq]

Bill was awesome live (on the "Riverboat "President", in New Orleans), with Patrick Moraz. I caught him with King Crimson once, as well. 🔥

[@TigerMtnKing]

[@Jimi-ld2vw]

The other good song on this album is South Side Of The Sky

[@rickb.4168]

No mention of Roundabout? 😂
