This song was amazing when it was performed live, but do yourself a favor and listen to the studio version from the Relayer album. The recording of this live version doesn't do it justice.

[@bernecomp]

Very muddy live version. Studio far superior.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

This was my first tour of Yes that I saw July 19/75. I was pretty impressed cause saw Chris and the boys 35 more times until Chris passed. The greatest show on earth 🙏🍁

[@realbser1956]

Despite the obvious technical difficulties, the sound guy should be embarrassed, I think that this footage gives a good feel for what it was like to experience this song in the raw. The album version is far superior and more nuanced for sure. Lots more Yes to react to Chod. ✌️

[@LetsDoEntertainment]

Remember... qpr was a bootleg record. Mixing sound for a live audience is far, far different than mixing for recording. Chances are whoever snagged the aux sends from the live board chose prefade sends. Easy mistake if the f.o.h. engineer is not a participant in the theft. But that meant they were getting the prefade input levels on tape. The board op would have been riding the faders to mix the main amp output with the ambient stage sound from backline amps and stage monitors to create balance for the live audience.

[@tonygrinney7115]

Hi Chod! Great to see you with a Yes song again. It has been a long time. This a live performance from QPR football ground in 1975. Unfortunately the recording quality is terrible so you don't get a good impression. However, I think it's the only live version available. If you have not heard the studio version Chod please also listen to that, as you miss so much on this live version due to poor sound quality.

[@willykruijntjens7172]

Please listen to the studio version!!!

[@jimdukeproject]

I remember playing this for my mother to try to listen. She is old school and never listened to prog. I didn't tell her the name and she actually said the song is like "sound chasing sound," haha. Mission accomplished. Appropriately titled and played by Yes.

[@BoGardiner]

"They create art... it almost doesn't make sense, but it makes sense." Not sure a better description of Relayer is possible.

[@gregjones861]

Yeah, listen to the studio version. I know Alan White was nailing it but the sound did him no justice.

[@timgrady4630]

Saw the '75 Tour ...and '76 . Didn’t disappoint .

[@IllumeEltanin]

Yes does Jazz Fusion. As others have said, this needs the studio version to really appreciate what Moraz brought to the group.

[@randyoehlert5045]

Happy 30th Birthday 🎉🎉🎉 My 70th BD was April 9th. You should listen to more of "The WHO " Keith Moon was the drummer from 1964 to 1978 he died in 78. Accidental overdose of a prescription medication. I suggest the song : "Bargin" , "Behind Blue Eyes," and " Pinball Wizard" The WHO has a lot of great music that really doesn't get played. The WHO played at Woodstock, where so many great bands played and several others were finally discovered.

[@brianjacob9084]

"To Be Over" is a great song off this album and there is a live version that is a good video and recording.

[@ker3917]

Love that song 🤩

[@rumourhats]

This is literally the most craziest song I've heard in my life. Utterly mad. It's like taking a bunch of speed and magic mushrooms at the same time.

[@j.jennings1722]

One of the greatest, most experimental songs in Prog history; but, the sound quality of that video was horrible. You'll love the studio version, Chod, which is wild! Please, react to "South Side of the Sky," by Yes. It's an incredible song. ❤✌

[@RoseNunezSmith]

It totally is a joyful piece of music; you got that quicker than I did. This song eluded me for quite a while, until I realized they were really just having fun in a "look what I can do" way. Now it's one of my favorite Yes songs.

[@78yestor93]

Hi Chod here we are back with The Pioneers of Prog, seems like a long time since, for the next live performance you have to react to South Side of the Sky live 2004 (songs from Tsongas) Yes Classic line up. One of the very few greatest Prog songs performance ever!!! You be well and truly blown away💥😲. Happy Birthday

I saw Yes on this tour. This was their opening song! Incredible show. Anaheim Stadium.

[@kevin_g1164]

Happy Birthday Chod! Great to see you back on Yes! However the sound quality on studio album is much better. I have seen many KZbin reactions on Yes music. They are all gob smacked. I am sure we grew up with the best music ever made in the early 70's. And Yes has been at the top of my list for 50 years. When asked for the best 5 prog albums ever and 3 or 4 of them are Yes albums that is all that is needed to be said. How do they remember these complex songs? I think in part because they think of these as experiences and journeys rather than just songs. Experiences and journeys also carry emotions and visions. So far more. Keep on exploring Yes maybe follow the timeline experience like we did.

[@anthonyblakely399]

Chod....Yes, has a new single released, it is called, "Cut From The Stars. " And it is FIRE!!! Yes... has a new album called, "Mirror In The Sky. " It will be released on May 19, 2023.

[@GTO4now]

#1 without a doubt, brother! 😁

[@AK99581]

Thought you were hanging up the reaction thing? Glad to see you changed your mind lol

[@marshallross3373]

This song reminds me of Return to Forever's "Romantic Warrior" album. Weather Report would be another jazz influence, I'd think. BTW, Yes started out as a cover band, but rather than just playing the covers as originally composed, they'd deconstruct them and rebuild the songs in a Yesified way. Check out the Yes version of Paul Simon's "America", which is a great example of this.

[@blitztim6416]

The drums are so much more prevalent on the studio version. I got to see this tour. Good seats too. The stage decorations were trippy. Steve Howe is amazing.

[@GetzGoth]

Other than the screams of my brother that time I threw a wet cat on his back, and any song that Ween ever wrote, this song is the most fucked up thing I have ever heard. How they pull this off live I have no idea but I love it. Cheers!

I was 17 when this came out but I had already been listening to them since 71 . You need to listen to more Zappa. He has even more Mind blowing stuff than this. Not better artistically but crazy complicated.

Wow! Don’t think I’d recommend hearing Sound Chaser for the first time Live! 😊 There is So much to hear!!! Definitely listen to studio version! Actually it’s Best heard from the Beginning of the album..Gates, Soon then Sound Chaser, To Be Over! One of my Fav albums! And by now you Know you need to listen to Yes songs maybe 3x to catch what’s being played & by whom!!! So do yourself a big favor and listen again to album!!! (From beginning)❤

To echo other comments, the sound quality was quite poor for such an important drum-heavy song as this one. Try the studio version to hear the amazing musicianship in full!

I have the same curiosity as you. HOW, WHERE do they start? What do they think when developing?

[@johng.8517]

Wow I never saw a live version of this song. They reproduced the studio version pretty close. But the sound quality is horrible. Definitely check out the studio version. Imagine how hard this is to play live. And they do a good job with live versions of their other complicated music too. The Keys to Ascension album has a lot of live versions and it's incredible. Here's a good one you haven't done yet. "In the Presence of". Good live version here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpCudYulgqdorck

This recording makes me appreciate fan recordings from phones, because this is really bad (through no fault of Yes, who was always phenomenal live), and a modern phone recording would be better. As others have said, the album version is crazy good. Perhaps my favorite Alan White track.

[@luiselorza1261]

you should check the original version. It is much easier to digest.

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

Ummm, just wait until you turn the album over (so to speak). This song was a warmup for that.

[@steveobrien9937]

Awww....unfortunate that you went with this horrible sounding tinney live production rather than the studio original

This is a poor sound recording like realbser said below the studio version is perfection. Yes influenced the many prog bands that followed them like Rush. I only joined you recently love your obvious love of the greatest band on the planet.

[@Rowenband]

One of my favorite songs from Yes. But I prefer the studio version, the mix and balance are rather bad here, even if the musicians are amazing as usual. I agree, maybe the best solo from Steve Howe. My favorite anyway.

Such a great album and song but this sound track doesn't do it justice the studio version is much better though I saw them play this in 74 at QPR football ground but who ever done the sound to this needs sacking

[@Johnnywr]

This is the infamously awful mix of the Queens Park Stadium May 1975 Yes gig. It does get a wee bit better though by about a third of the way through the concert. What it does show though, and highlights really well, is that Yes' musicianship and invention was actually ahead of the technology of the time. This is most clearly shown by Patrick Moraz's monophonic synthesizers going out of tune or not staying in tune or just breaking down and not working at all. But this was genuine progressive music/progressive rock and this was towards the end of that genuinely inventive period where the technology hadn't been created to accurately reproduce studio album techniques. Even just a couple years later the technology improved and bands had much more of an easy ride performing live. This is why Yes is one of the very few genuinely progressive bands from that period. What came later, was often good, but not in the same league as those who furrowed the path that others walked along to create their music. Also, I would say the Relayer album versions are the versions you might want to check out instead.

That is the worst sound quality I've ever heard on this song, Chris was almost invisible, Steve was uneven. They miked Jon pretty well - but Chris just wasn't in the mix. What I'm saying is, you should hear what this sounds like WELL MIXED!

@@martinreed5964 Yessongs is also pretty terrible, although not as bad as this. Other bands at the time, especially Zappa and King Crimson have extraordinary live recordings of absolute perfection, but I don't think it was about money because Yes was raking it in like nobody else at a time. Maybe they just know how to hire better people?

"An example of how music should not be created, in this case they went too far and quite heavily, similar to the album "Tales...", except for one song, it's hard to listen to that record. Luckily, it's the only weak track on the album."

[@berniecosta348]

A perfect example of why I dislike live band reactions. The audio has issues. The mix is crappy. At least in the studio you get to hear ALL the instrumentation clearly and the intended feel. If you've never heard the song before you won't know what's missing. I believe it takes away from the connection to the music. Do yourself a favor. Go studio album versions all the time. You get a clearer interpretation. Just saying.
