Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.
If you enjoy this video and my reactions make sure you subscribe to the channel, like the video and comment down below which video you would like to see me react to next.

Prepare yourself for the title track.... it's one of the greatest pieces of music ever recorded

[@TigerMtnKing]

Nobody does it better than YES! That's why they're the greatest band to ever do anywhere, ever!🤩

[@freddymo3339]

Jon wanted and the band opened with this classic (in just about every show) during the 70s. Great choice!

[@Doggeslife]

"Khatru" was the song they opened their concerts with in the mid-late 1970s, and they could not have picked a better track to get things rolling. I can STILL feel the chills from their "TOURMATO" tour at Oakland in 1978.

[@976PAIN]

I was there too, was amazing. In the round!

[@BarrySanchez]

I agree Siberian Khartu is an awesome opening song, I remember sitting with a rock drummer who marveled that they would open the concert with such a complex song instead waiting till the end of the show when they were completely warmed up, but YES was great & YES was always warmed up. TRULY YES IS BEST!!!

[@lesblatnyak5947]

The opening to many Yes shows, makes ya get up and boogie.

[@flomalheur7467]

For me, "Siberian Khatru" is one of those songs that you must have heard on the live album "Yessongs" too (preferably together with the "Opening"). Personally, I like a lot of the old songs better in the Yessongs version. But that may also be due to the fact that "Yessongs" (almost 50 years ago) was my first album by Yes and therefore these versions are "the original" for me.

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

When you do 'Close to the Edge' I recommend dimming the lights, closing your eyes, and enjoying the experience. Some say the best prog rock song ever created. Be interested in your reaction after.

[@phillyflyer12]

Steve Howe remains for me as the most versatile guitarist of our age.

[@KevinRCarr]

Fantastic song, great reaction, and you've saved the best for last. It's good that you've familiarized yourself with Yes before taking on the Close to the Edge experience. And, what an experience it is. I've been experiencing it for nearly four and a half decades, and it's still fresh and still surprises me with nuances not before noticed, from time to time.

[@ericanderson8886]

Hands down best prog album ever. All three tracks are brilliant and the lineup is one of the best in rock history.

[@dolfinpt]

The more times you listen to a Yes Song the more you hear! Depends which member/instrument/voice you focus on….and they’re all incredible!❤

[@user-ob7je4nc6c]

Right? You can't listen to all at the same time, nor can you listen to just all the time! 50 years (and counting), and I still hear something "new" each time.

[@user-ob7je4nc6c]

*just one all the time

[@nancymjohnson]

After 50 years of listening, still gets me happy every time

[@tobytanzer]

For a more realistic Yes concert experience in your own home, play the last 4 minutes of Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, in the dark, followed by Siberian Khatru. That's how all Yes concerts began for years. The Firebird is a phenomenal piece of music and the ending will prime you for Yes.

[@RMForbes505]

You are playing this album in the same order as I liked to do. I tended to play side 2 first and end up with Close to the Edge. It just made more sense to experience this masterpiece this way.

[@rhondamcewananderson3968]

My favorite band, pretty much! Timeless!! ❤🎶

[@philipmason9537]

Chris Squire was with the band from 1968-2015.

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

The music and lyrics are ingrained in my heart and soul forever. When Yes fell apart we got ABWH - Anderson, Wakeman, Bruford and Howe. From Bill Bruford's own channel I highly recommend "And You And I (Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA 1989)"

[@JJ8KK]

Of course, we all knew you would be blown away by Siberian Khatru.😉You've noticed the complexity of their layering of sound, but because they spent so much time perfecting the mix in the studio, you could hear _everything_ in its time instead of a muddle of competing sounds. With YES, the guys would add their own experimental inspirations, but in spite of the fact that they seemed to be playing competing riffs/melodies in certain passages, you could hear them both (like Squire & Bruford doing an exotic rhythm section thing at the same time the guitar or keyboards were soloing. Their mastery of complexity was so impressive, their studio compositions invite many repeated listenings where you can pick out what each of the guys were doing within the totality. They stayed "fresh" even after repeated listenings (if you had the time to pay attention). That's why I remind you to NOT listen to the many YES fans out there who are always pitching their live performances. Their studio albums during their Uber-Classic Period (The Yes Album, Fragile, Close To The Edge) are MUST LISTEN. Their live recordings, while being satisfying on a certain level, don't come close to their Studio Masterpieces. I'm not saying don't listen to the live recordings...please do...but only after taking in the perfection they created in the studio. Just saying...

[@briangrigsby1842]

one of the compositions that make me cry at the beauty............

[@TerryJ950]

Love your reactions so far to the greatest band of all time! Looking forward to your CTTE reaction - my favorite song of all time!

[@johng.8517]

Great song. Great reaction. You're never disappointed with YES.

[@martinellis7156]

My fave....

[@stephenroberge7824]

Hi I'm a first-time Watcher today I watched you reacting to Grand Funk Railroad inside looking out I love you reaction so I subscribe right away then I watched you react to Jethro Tull and then Deep Purple and it's good to see people react to the music I grew up with isn't that just fantastic music. Do you want a good Deep Purple song lazy but live in Copenhagen watch that you love it the good work

[@randy3907]

The most innovative band to ever exist. Yes fanatic since 1972............

[@g.willykers]

Love it!!!

[@yeshayahuhomberger2079]

Yes 💪👍

[@Dee-77777]

After you’ve listened to Close to the Edge, maybe try No Opportunity Necessarily, No Experience Needed for some out of this world bass playing. Also Time in a Word is a really nice Yes song to listen to.

[@scifimonkey3]

The anticipation for you to do ‘Close to the edge’ is almost painful but glad that you are enjoying Yes and your broader prog rock exploration. After CTTE maybe you will feel able to try the 4 tracks from ‘Tales from topographic oceans’ which are all a vinyl side long. (Consider it a challenge but one with huge rewards.)

[@LordAnthonyKagan]

The thing about Yes is that there's so much replayability. I've listened to this album hundreds of times and still find things that surprise me. So much content jammed into one song! BTW don't even try to interpret the lyrics on this album. Jon Anderson said that the lyrics on Close To The Edge and this were mostly delivered on this album because of the way they sounded, not by what they meant.

[@franciscodiaz183]

Just another YES Masterpiece.

[@russellmorgan5611]

Far to late for me to add anything but glad you got to experience this album.

[@randyjohnson6960]

Do : "FEEL LIKE A NUMBER" BY Bob Seger🎵🎤👊

[@davidmccullough7402]

This reaction was a great watch. Have you still not reacted to anything from the Relayer album??

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Coming soon 😁

[@mikeb3365]

Rest up, do some meditation or yoga, good nutrition, and have your local help line just in case, before embarking on the title track, Close to the Edge.

[@katsuhiko1900]

strange rock'n'roll

[@abjr2010]
