A lot of collaboration, some pre-existing melodies or lyrics, a lot of improvisation in the studio, then clever cutting and splicing of the master tape. Then rehearse even more as they learn how to play it live! Although a lot of Yes compositions utilise some classical forms, they differ mainly in that there are not the work of one creative mind. The first example of ‘progressive’ composition, where every party is solely composed (and played in the studio recording) by an individual, is probably by the then 19 year old Mike Oldfield: Tubular Bells.

"We used to decommercialize music quite often. Purposely. Don’t repeat that chorus. That’s what pop bands do. So basically we had our own method." - Steve Howe “Steve brought in the third section ‘Wurm,’ which was something that Steve had written. Combined with the sections that Jon and myself wrote for that song, it made it a really interesting song. The more people you have writing usually the better things are.” - Chris Squire

@@steddie4514 Yes he is-some think it was crass, but I loved his RRHOF acceptance speech-I mean, crassness in rock, shock horror 🙄A good Brit accent can allow one to get away with a lot, lol. Plus, for all that I don't much hold with the RRHOF in the first place, I loved that it had to be chapping Jan Wenner's azz that an unabashed prog group got in, when he allegedly said that would happen over his dead body. I think the critics turned on prog (they mostly loved it, at first) because they couldn't be dismissive of men/music which they couldn't patronise, because these men were more talented in their little fingers than their would-be critics would ever be. They couldn't be built up and then dismissed like your run-of-the-mill "rock louts", because they were obviously musically educated far above their would-be critics. Not that I have anything against "rock louts" either, just as I have absolutely nothing against fiddle-playing "hillbillies". These men are musical geniuses. The would-be critics like to think that they can make or break artists-when the artists are obviously, undeniably masters of their instruments, the critics don't know what to say, because it's no longer just about some trend, or reaction, or fashion, or anything nebulous that the critics can pretend to discover or guide-they can't play with these guys. Stupid RRHOF-just the fact that they shut Bob Seger out for years undermines their credibility. They didn't make him, so they couldn't break him. Saw him in New Orleans in the early 80s-even at the time, I knew that was the best concert I'd ever seen and ever would see, and I've seen a few. Never saw an artist so generous with his time, talent, energy, everything.

I saw Yes live for the first time in 1970 and I was blown away. I remember back in the day, because of just what you guys were talking about, the changes in time signatures, and mood and tempo, the music of Yes was sometimes referred to "Orchestral Rock" or Symphonic Rock" because the different changes and the ebb and flow of the music was very similar to the different movements in a Symphony. One of my favorite bands for over 50 years now.

I know exactly, for myself-instrumental virtuosity, first. I'm a sucker for it, admiring the dedication, the time put in, the blood sweat and tears it takes to get that good. That's one reason I love so many genres of music-there's virtuosity to be found in almost all of them. I love good composition-when they can also improvise just as well. Then with SD, I love that New York cynicism in the lyrics. With YES, it's 180 degrees opposite-love the quasi-spirituality of the lyrics-that is, when I can find any cohesive meaning at all. That's perfectly fine if I can't, YES is all about the sound.

For sure! I love that on "Fragile", each member had their own song, then the ensemble tracks. IIRC, Wakeman had to do the Brahms variation because until he got out of his previous contract, he couldn't use his own music (or chose not to, for royalties reasons, I forget which). I think my favorite "solo" effort on Fragile is "Schindleria Praematurus" (The Fish). When my father was in the hospital right before he died, I would go to my car and listen to Fragile, and most often this track, repeatedly. I don't know why even now, but this track comforted me, helped me keep hold of myself for my dad.

A little trivia - The last instrumental section of the song, known as "Wurm" was derived from parts of a song called "Nether Street" which guitarist Steve Howe had written for his previous band, Bodast. Though Chris' bass added took it up to 11.

The cool thing about this track is Chris Squire's tremolo bass... Thar warble gives the track a life it wouldn't have had if it were played straight. There's so many layers that work together though, you can find something different just about every time you hear it.

Like Rush all the members of Yes are masters of their instruments. ELP also comes to mind. What an era

@@markoliver630 Yes opened for ELP on several dates in fall 1971. ELP were promoting Tarkus and Yes were returning to the U.S. for the 2nd time that year, this time with Wakeman. Fragile was already out in the U.K., but it wouldn't be released in the U.S. until Jan. '72, so Yes mostly played The Yes Album. Would've loved to have seen that.

Great reaction guys. Now check out the live version of this track from the "Keys to Ascension" album with Alan White on drums. The last section is considerably extended and includes a wonderful keyboard solo by Wakeman.

This is an AMAZING track! To know all of the Yes lineups you pretty much need an advanced degree, but there's a banger (yes, an under five minute Yes banger!) somewhere in the middle of it all called "Tempus Fugit." Bon voyage! 😎

Oh my days, I LOVE "Tempus Fugit", and also "Parallels", just for that majestic organ opening-that was Wakeman playing on an actual church organ in a cathedral, IIRC.

I feel so sorry for people who haven't allowed music to be a part of their lives. So, so sorry. No matter how bad, or good, I'm feeling I always feel even better after listening to this song. What more can you ask out of 8 minutes?

Keep listening to Yes guys. Then mix in ELP (The Barbarian, Knife's Edge), Tarkus, Brain Salad Surgery, and Trilogy. Enjoy the experiences and inspiration.

Yes indeed, definitely need some ELP in the mix. I'm hoping there'll be room, sometime, for some of the Canterbury scene groups. I haven't "deep dived" into them myself, but I've heard enough to know they deserve a lot more attention than they generally receive, then or now. A favorite is "Impotence" by the Wilde Flowers. This one band seeded many other Canterbury groups, when they disbanded. The "family tree" of so many groups of this era is fascinating to me.

As far as I can remember, this track was almost always the last song of their setlist. Experiencing Squire's bass live was unreal. I was in front of Steve Howe on the tour after Chris passed and he remarked he couldn't believe he was gone.

One of the greatest bands ever, YES defines the prog rock genre better than any other group. Check out "Yours Is No Disgrace" from that same album. It was Yes's anti-war song put out during the Vietnam war era.

There is a great version of this song by Rick Wakeman, the former keyboard player for Yes, in his 'Live in Buenos Aires' concert. It includes great keyboard work by his son, Adam Wakeman, plus an amazing keyboard and guitar section at the end. Well worth checking out.

Had a good friend that used to pick me up and we’d go out to the park and he’d pull his home speakers😂 out of his 76 Camaro and play this song at the park. Needless to say we were fairly popular when we pulled up. RIP Scotty, you turned me on to some great music.

2 live tracks I strongly recommend, from the YES keyboard player, Rick Wakeman. They are both from his Live in Buenos Aires concert. Firstly, his cover of Starship Trooper and secondly, his solo song Merlin The Magician. Both tracks include great keyboard work by Rick and also his son, Adam. Well worth a watch.
