Yes - Yours Is No Disgrace (Live at Lugano Jazz Festival 2004)

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face
Caesar's Palace, morning glory, silly human race
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no disgrace
Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are
Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are
Lost in summer, born in winter, travel very far
Lost in losing circumstances, that's just where you are
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face
Caesar's Palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human race
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no, yours is nodisgrace
Yours is no disgrace
Yours is no disgrace
Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth
Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their moralsdisappear
Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face
Caesar's Palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human, sillyhuman race
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place
If the summer changed to winter, yours is no, yours is nodisgrace
Yours is no disgrace
Yours is no disgrace
Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are
Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are
Lost in summer, born in winter, travel very far
Lost in losing circumstances, that's just where you are

[@jeraldbrewer6087]

This music never gets old or dated. Howe may be the most under-rated guitarist in rock history.

[@derail14]

Jerald Brewer the greatest

[@sandman7914]

Jerald Brewer guitar magazine voted Steve best overall guitarist 5 years in a row,that's the limit, along with Les Paul, Chet Atkins Steve Morse, so he is not underrated by musicians just brain dead people with no musical knowledge, that's sad.

[@PilsnerLager]

They have had plenty of opportunity to get it exactly where they want it. Which they already mastered in the 70s

[@SuperJohnnyO]

He's incredible - STILL!

[@awaken77]

He won "Best guitar player" title by GuitarPlayer magazine 5 times

[@janisnachtmanngarcia4516]

My most favorite band! Best line up here....they are all smoking HOT!!!❤❤❤

[@michaelgranger7113]

I'm a lifelong super fan of YES and never saw these Lugano videos before. I'm breathless at the extraordinary power and skill these guys showed both in the studio and live. Greatest progressive rock group of all time.

[@jonathonedwardmiller]

One of the greatest rock groups too, bands like Rush were inspired by these guys

[@wfamdaxj]

I agree, I saw them in 79 and again in Birmingham. Can't remember the year. Proper musicians.

[@gezzab6271]

Steve's guitar playing is so clear & crisp it is truly breathtaking. It is a masterclass of true rock guitar with jazz fusion displaying distinct finger work. There is no distortion, no heavy chords blasting over to cover any lack of true musicianship, Every true rock guitarist should be made to study this... if only to appreciate how to explore crisp, clear chord sequences,without over distortion, can sound so sweet and meaningful. Then they can move and play "stairway to heaven" if that's where their journey will take them :-)

[@awaken77]

He can play in any guitar style not limited to rock music - jazz, classical, flamenco, folk. He also can play all kinds of stringed instruments - acoustic, electric, ukulele, mandolin, bass guitar, pedal steel, and keyboards (on his solo albums) . So diverse talent.

[@backofthecup1]

Wow! Someone pour a bucket of water on him before he disintegrates. I've seen him play this a million times and this may be the best.

[@MaxyBoy-x9u]

Steve Howe has to be the most underrated rock guitarists ever. So brilliant. Saw them in the late 70s. Just a fluid, jamming band. RIP Chris Squire.

[@tragicgenius]

"Best Overall Guitarist" in Guitar Player magazine five years in a row (1977-1981) and in 1981 was the first rock guitar player inducted into the Guitar Player Hall of Fame. I still feel he is under rated. Still my favorite guitarist

[@mach552]

A master performance. What a lineup; The best guitarist in Rock history, Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman's wonderful keys, the most underrated bassist, Chris Squire, The best voice in Rock ever, Jon Anderson, all anchored by one great drummer Alan White.

[@derail14]

mach552 these guys are the best now,and for eternity,r.i.p. chris

[@mach552]

You are so right derail14. The best, R.I.P. Chris.

[@toddkaiser7594]

Just missing trevor rabin. The icing on the cake

[@TYGODIAMGR8FUL]

And the GREATEST Keyboard WIZARD ever to grace the STAGE!

[@DavidGiblerpeilimocom]

Steve Howe smoking every part! Who else could play a full hollow body at performance volume and not an shred of feedback. Flawless.

[@jamessollazzo2966]

nails it!

[@Mrkambimba]

hi dudes, i can read Steve great guitarrist, Chris great bassist, Alan great drummer, Rick great keyboardist but we must see this supergroup in a whole context they´re "together" are YES

[@MrsAShoe]

He Was one of the best Bassists R.I.P Chris!!

[@tonysharples6233]

No mention of one of the the most distinctive vocalists in musical history.

[@janisnachtmanngarcia4516]

Absolutely the very best line up of YES!❤

[@oskarvikstrom229]

Yes 🙂

[@Bruce_144]

Steve fucking HOW?!?!?

[@marktheelf53]

I saw them 40 years ago and 10 years ago...the songs are always immortal...they have been fathers of prog, with Genesis and other few

[@siberiankhatru5440]

Genesis/Yes combo is very special to me. Glad you mentioned it. Best bands of their time. Timeless. 👍🤝💯🥰

[@GilbertoStrapazon]

Always great. To me, my personal opinion, YES is the top of Classic music at modern times.

[@swaggs]

RIP Chris Squire.

[@wralford]

Yes makes me proud of our generation. That is what you call talent!

[@siberiankhatru5440]

Talent and great souls🤝👍

[@frankhoulihanfh4972]

❤

[@MRMONOPOLYization]

Alan white has to be the happiest drummer I've ever seen lol.

[@siberiankhatru5440]

Best band ever. Legendary.Outstanding.Stunning.

[@joseosornio9418]

R.I.P. MR. CHRIS SQUIRE, thank you for your music and inspiration to play bass when I heard roundabout for the first time in 1974, ever science you have been my IDOL and never missed any of your concerts in Chicago science 1978, I always wanted to meet you and when I finally did in your last concert in chicago Copernicus center parking lot I asked you for a quick picture and you told me NO and walked away, still a saw you and alway be missed, my deepest condolences to your FAMILY.

[@edhardwick2538]

This performance would have been better if Squire's mike had been turned down just a little.

[@TopekaCate]

Absolutely magnificent. My first ever full priced album. It still sounds absolutely wonderful. Unbeatable.

[@boerni1976]

Steve Howe is just amazing!!!

[@mrJimCharles]

To hear them (especially Steve) do some jazzy improvisational stuff in the middle, well that toasted my bread JUST RIGHT!!!

[@docsketchy]

I have a hard time listening to this, because Steve Howe's solo on the Yessongs version (the album, not the film) is perhaps the greatest guitar solo of all time.

[@michaelbeerbados3291]

totally agree,,Yessongs is the most fantastic live album on history..and Yours is No Disgrace on that album is Steve Howe's finest live performance ever..who else has a solo throughout a song that has that degree of musicianship? no one

[@kingrobert1st]

docsketchy Totally agree too! Wore out 2 copies of Yessongs just listening to that awesome solo!

[@benvye4279]

Agree, but the solo was edited for the album. To listen to it as it was originally played, kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5K3fXawf56djNk

[@papunAlicea]

Thanks so much for share. Great YES music, performance, arrangements. The best Progresive Rock Band ever.

[@nakedchilli]

I can't believe the quality sound that steve gets live - clean, crisp, totally in time, totally on tempo, totally perfect... unfreeking real...

[@fauxbro]

and got left off one of those BS 'best 100 guitarists' Rolling Stone polls 2 yrs ago voted on supposedly by a panel of guitarists

[@francknattario329]

Steve Showe...

[@stuntflyer680]

There's a simple explanation for that. He is a professional musician unlike some of the twits we get on stage today who must dance around and babble on in gibberish to obscure their obvious lack of talent. Just blows me away these guys are still able to play this stuff - their music is SO technical!

[@thedoctor2247]

always a true test to a great bamd. This sounds even better than the studio album version. Than you YES for the music!!!

[@jmeyer4321]

This particular lineup is the (their) apex of performance, rock and roll soul and professional consistency.

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

7:04 I just love Squire and Wakeman goofing off in the corner

[@annellacrescenzo2677]

Saw them do this at the Philly Spectrum absolutely amazing live !

[@awaken77]

Performance is great, but Korg never get that growl of B3, like in the original

[@mrmikespence1964]

+awaken77 HONCKY! I DISAGREE! THESE (C)ROCK! SQUIBBERS! ARE "NOT" GREAT! AND "THIS" (C)ROCK! SQUIB! IS TERRIBLE! *MIKE SPENCE!

[@jeromelioret2171]

le Yes que l'on ne verra plus ...j'ai eu la chance de voir 2 fois cette formation, seul reste Steve aujourd'hui ...

[@RayyMusik]

7:50: Steve‘s most beautiful chords ever.

[@ladinoir]

In my early years at the secondary school, my mates earing Yes at the breaks. Wonderful time to discover symphonic rock. The Yes Álbum was my first contact with the band. Bill Bruford. Tony Kaye, Jon Anderson, Chris Squire and Steve Howe. I saw them in Vélez Sarsfield Stadium, in 1985. I"ll never forget that night.

[@WinNy-vw8dm]

スクワイアが亡くなり、さらにアラン　ホワイトが亡くなった今７０年代黄金期を支えたハウがいるもののもはや「yes」本体に存在意義はないと思っています。 　アンダーソンのソロ活動(Geeksなど)のほうがMusicスピリットにあふれていると思います。

[@quicksite]

God I love this song! I'll still be listening to this til the end of time.

[@siberiankhatru5440]

Same here. Timeless song and band.

[@rolandaugustbayerrab-6367]

a question in a rockquiz: please name a progrockband, that had 5 to 8 members, that made a fundamental album with only 4 compositions, everyone 20 minutes long, and later, in the eigthies a fantastic hitalbum? little advise: that owners of lonely hearts never had any disgrace..., and another question: who was the man with two thumbs, one eye, who allways liked them? order: then close one eye and direct two thumbs to yourself ... .-)

[@tacobrewthyme8168]

Zappa. As for Tom Thumb how about 3 fingers. Django Reinhardt. And you can add Ian Anderson for the first question. One song 90+ minutes long. TAAB (Jethro Tull)

[@vinexxwineagency8805]

Um... wow. Does make a lot of modern stuff look pretty simple...

[@vincegedeon6583]

Man howe is technical as fuck in a league of his own!

[@kristaAnn22]

phenomenal band. Great lyrics ! What magnificent poetry. Wish I'd been there. Yes is coming to NJ PAC, Holmdel Arts Center, and the Trenton War memorial this summer ! Hurray. Rev. merylee

[@FibroTrust]

Matias Lopez, thank you so much for uploading this video. Just fantastic performance!

[@fistchips]

Wish he had a real Hammond B3 for this performance..good job though..

[@recordcollector1017]

Yeah! Wakeman doesn't perform this song as well as Tony Kaye, but this is a rare instance

[@MsLoverockmusic]

T.O.N.Y !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BluesLicks101]

Rick looks pissed off.

[@papunAlicea]

Thanks for share. Great song,arrangement and performance. Virtuosos YES. Clean sounds, wah-wah. Steve Howe: great and amazing guitar player.

[@vincegedeon6583]

This song is a masterpiece!

[@vincegedeon6583]

Steve Howe is so insane one of the GREATEST ever such fingers!

[@junkiecosmonaut5050]

Wakeman, Howe & Squire REAL musicians!!

[@bramposthumus9300]

Band on fire. RIP Chris and Alan. Yessongs will never be surpassed but this comes pretty bloody damn close.

[@francknattario329]

*STEVE SHOWe...*

[@progqueen5952]

I know it sounds squirrelie but when I hear these concerts, I cry. So so so awesome! Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Illinois!

[@KarnEvil4]

Steve plays really well here. During his solo at the at the 6:50 mark he just goes off into another realm very jazzy- as the festival is named as such but its scary how freaking awesome he played. He was still using his Fender Twins unlike these days with him using those God awful Line 6 amps!

[@lindaross2674]

This the the true YES. Thank you so much for posting this! I can see them in concert forever!even when I am old and in the nursing home!

[@sandman7914]

Linda Ross nice post, their music doesn't get old, amazing , Steve, Chris and Allen are an awesome backbone

[@MsLoverockmusic]

I'm with you!

[@tacobrewthyme8168]

A great blend of musicians. Shades of country from Howe. Classical from Wakeman and the loud but refined metal from Squire. Saw them in 73. And followed Wakeman and got to see him a few times. Then ARM this year. One of the best. Zappa narrows them out in my opinion. But there's enough to go around.

[@peterhol5649]

Onwijs ! Een band die niet te evenaren is !

[@emilioTW33]

Nunca senti la música tan sublimada como en esta ..valio la pena vivir para escucharla

[@kingrobert1st]

Steve, you never cease to amaze me! Cam having difficulty following your fingers!

[@birchward]

a great peace of history ! A MAGIC song !

[@oberpeter5264]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwww that s a dream i feel it into my Body thinking mind Peter

[@lifelong5425]

Damn, blast and curses...that was tremendously done....1st Yes album ever owned, get never get it loud enough..then seeing it all live Y E S...

[@seekingwisdom8]

I was a naive 16 years old when I saw them in 1972, just after Bruford left the band. I knew nothing about the members, so I didn’t realize Alan White was the drummer when I saw them. Alan is a great musician, really fast rolls, and a powerful rocker. Still, I prefer Brufords crisp, almost computer like jazz rhythms to Alan’s playing with Yes.

[@JimSVoit]

The solo section here is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@derail14]

JimSVoit what else can you expect from a guitar god,steve howe

[@JimSVoit]

Oh yea!! And that killer rhythm section of Mr. Chris Squire and Alan White!!!!

[@MsLoverockmusic]

I love the part w/Chris & Rick at around 7:00!😃 There is no bad version of this song on KZbin--each version is unique!

[@curtreus6065]

Fortunately I saw them ONCE (before they kicked Jon to the curb for ? & Chris died; At Irvine Meadows in 84 - NO f-g Howe just that t*rd rabinon - Yes is gone to me (along with what remains of the civilized/ decent world apparently); glad I knew this music AND that NO women EVER wanted me (they all seemed to HATE prog Rock anway (so ALSO dodged MANY 'bullets' on that front, and unfortunately the family that came with all that 'along-the-way'. I am already dead so nothing really matters now, esp the current WWIII we are ALL in Snapped-in-Half in Hell

[@BornCrossEyed56]

This is a monster. I want the solo to go on forever>>>>! Compare to Yessongs '72.

[@Grayham4]

Who is wakeman yelling at 😂

[@johncounsell3917]

Performance seems so tired. Old. Sad. Compare it with 1972 and 73 performances... night and day.

[@hugekippel3438]

Mr. Rick Wakeman on Keyboards... gorgeous

[@siberiankhatru5440]

Golden setup here. Timeless.

[@AlbertoOlivieri]

Rip Chris Bass Hero of my youth....

[@bobbyblenio4571]

When you think of Led Zeppelin & Pink Floyd as the Best Group’s in the World,among Many Others,be Sure to Add YES to that List🦾🔥

[@lukasraida70]

Ano nádhera-Je to s alba YES ALBUM 1971-v tomto roce jsem se narodil.

[@emilioTW33]

ojala todo el mundo sintiera lo que siento con esta canción... no tengo dudas que el siglo que viene lo van a valorar como hoy a los grandes maestros

[@CornishMotorcycleDiaries]

Aaah that's more like it! after the 2014 version. Lots of intensity here, must go back to my Yessongs album (incidentally signed by Rick) himself to to check that version out.

[@RJs_CC]

Steve's shirt is a better guitarist than most.

[@siberiankhatru5440]

#1 Song of Yes for me. R.I.P Alan and Chris.

[@scottarnold9373]

Their last, best concert. I understand there is a cover band with some guys from Asia.

[@Thundergod-]

Sadly with the great loss of Chris Squire RIP Yes is little more than a tribute band now with only Steve and Alan left from the glory years....

[@alfredo4485]

Simplesmente genial!!

[@posvibration21]

These guys rule!

[@emilioTW33]

que maravilloso!!!!

[@FredMarcoty]

This performance is just so... I don't know...

[@GeniusLad32]

I'd say Yes are gods of prog rock but we'd then have more gods than the bloody romans

[@RyChanneler]

Wow.. Steve just really shouldn't be allowed to have a microphone. At one point in this clip you can see Jon screw up his face for what I assume is his reaction to how loud Mr. Howe's vocals are in the mix...

[@jdee330]

mY FIRST ROCK CONCERT EVER WAS YES 90125 WITH MY BRO WHO JUST PASSED..

[@michaelvictor706]

An Outstanding Compositing

[@gregpendleton7893]

The correct lyric is "Death defying, mutilated armies gather near." Not, "armies scatter the earth."

[@RayyMusik]

TheDowner Listen to 9:30.

[@Aquarivania]

Man, Steve Howe is a great guitarist and all but the man always stands still. At the very least I'm glad he was getting into that jam at 6:30, but I'd love to see him do what I call the Geddy hop (hoping down the stage on one leg). At the very least let's see a smile come from that guy.

[@MRMONOPOLYization]

He does do some stuff sometimes. It's actually pretty funny the looks that go on his face sometimes.

[@facesonmars]

watch YES SHOWS....the guys old now. In the day he shook. quaked and climaxed when he soloed.

[@jimlayhey1965]

hes in his 70s when we are 70 we wont be jumping up and down

[@derail14]

Andarillo he doesn't have to jump around,he make's a statement from his playing,he has been around long enough,he doesn't have to be a show stealer or a ham

[@derail14]

jim layey no, he is 68

[@ijoyner]

The line is not "armies scatter the Earth", but "armies gather near". I found that out after years of singing it wrong out of the rainbow books. Jon just sings near with a different emphasis.

[@JamesFrancis-zn6dm]

Truly one of the very best.

[@chernobylFarms]

A superior later performance! I do hope Yes has selected some allstars from their numerous cover groups and taken them on as apprentices. This music must live forever!

[@AdamLB]

8:18 sounds a bit familiar, is that from everydays?

[@vincegedeon6583]

Amazing song YES is AWESOME!

[@RPA900]

was Rick off-time during the intro? - his face winces - seems like he can't hear properly and calls the sound man...

[@tonysharples6233]

Unbelievable overcoming of serious health problems so early in life to see Rick Wakeman still performing and looking really good.

[@petestevens5816]

Just glad I was alive to see them in concert in the 70’s in the round. Nothing will ever come close. RIP Fish love you

[@borntohula]

40 secs in and got to be honest, it's terrible. Wakeman out a lot or the band is... Hopefully improves..

[@borntohula]

It gets a lot better, very glad. Just got onto Yes, what a band

[@pollaris18]

Que obra de arte por Dios...

[@dancorun6650]

I missed a chance to see Yes live and have regretted it all my life.

[@scissors656]

it's a disgrace that the other members of yes could'nt let jon anderson recover from his respiratory condition before replacing him.

[@MarkGonz123]

After waiting 4 years and then canceling a big tour I think the guys have the right to continue

[@scissors656]

i agree;but i think they should have let jon back when his voice recovered.

[@MarkGonz123]

***** Yeah but Anderson just posted on Facebook that he lost his voice in a recent show in Chile and that the doctors advised him to not speak for 3 weeks and he was forced to reschedule shows..That's something Yes can't afford right now they tour like crazy

[@scissors656]

Mark Gonzalez well i guess if thats the case jon should just retire. and so should yes; or change their name like they did in 1994 when chris squire was'nt with them. (anderson,bruford, wakeman, howe)

[@MarkGonz123]

Yes shouldn't have to do anything they don't want to do...Yes didn't change their name in 1994. Anderson didn't like Yes at the time with Trevor Rabin so he left and called Bruford, Wakeman and Howe to start a band and they even tried using the name Yes but Squire who has ownership of the name didn't allow it

[@chrissibbald3754]

Christian plays every Day The Clap from Steve Howe Sheryl Crow Knows her Man who is married with Her

[@santatigerclaus]

keyboard looks like rick wakeman
