The studio version of Yours Is No Disgrace is very good in it's own right...however this live version shows us what an energetic, rhythmic and involved Steve Howe was.

[@Greg-io1ip]

Yes concerts always had best reputation anyone I ever knew who attended. Such a talented roster. No weak links at all.

Rick Wakeman and his big cape takes me back to 1972 when they came to town. It's hard to believe all the great bands we could go see back then. All you needed was $5 and a free night.

[@JJ8KK]

By not listening to the studio version, you guys missed out on how YES' sound engineer Eddy Offord used these great panning effects between the two channels, which were being experimented with in those days, as stereo recordings were less than a decade old in rock & roll. First listeners love it & comment on it but you won't hear it unless you now do the studio version my guys... ( _and_ it features Bruford on drums)

[@SnarleySteve]

I saw them twice in the 70's. To date, they are the best shows I've ever seen and I've been to many. When it comes to progressive, they are beyond compare. They have influenced so many bands.. my absolute favorite...

One of the best videos of Yes bassist Chris Squire is from this same film, Yessongs. "Long Distance Runaround/The Fish" features Chris on "The Fish." His playing in concert was legendary, and he is missed. Yessongs is a great concert movie by one of the two or three most interesting bands in music. Thanks for playing live Yes!

[@user-fe8yp1rb9m]

Great. But love the studio recording best. This Album was my first Yes Album, age 15 in 1971. I’ll be seeing Jon Anderson Live, in less than 48 hours, in London. He’s 78 now and still sounds incredible. 🎶❤️🎶

[@ronaldelliott4373]

@@melvinwomack3717 Interesting you mentioned that. I was 17 traveling through Europe with friends the summer the members of Yes were working on that album. Can’t remember the city in Switzerland, but crossed paths with Rick Wakeman. He was using a church’s amazing, century old pipe organ to record some of his parts for the “Going For The One” LP. It wasn’t a secret. Everyone in town knew Yes was there and working. There were mobile recording trucks and quite a lot of cables running between the mobiles and the church. Bought the record back in the States when it was released, and I would sit and focus on all of Rick’s work, listening to all the easily distinguishable parts from that organ. Howe of course is remarkable as well. It’s been a favorite of mine ever since. I think I still have some pics and postcards of the inside of the church somewhere. Saw them tour it, “in the round.” It’s been awhile, but I remain an avid Yes, and Classic Era music fan to this day. Just an analog kid in a digital world. I know there are still a few of us left. Regards

[@allasyso0804]

This is from the Close to the Edge Tour; the fall and winter of 1972-73. I just started my freshman year at Morehouse and a friend convinced me to check them out. After this concert I became a lifelong fan of Yes. I was profoundly impressed with the viruosity of the members of group; but Steve Howe was an absolute beast!

[@Ibanezed210]

Steve Howe is incredible, Chet Atkins was his primary Influence. Saw YESSONGS in the theater 5 times when it came out, ON ACID the first time haha.. If you can believe it, they opened up for Black Sabbath on some parts of this Tour in the US. Please do "AND YOU AND I" as well the BEST version you'll ever hear..

YES and Sabbath on the same billing? Sigh... glad I caught both of them though on their own

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

@@Zennofobic Yep haa, awesome huh! I know several older guys who saw the tour. Was just reading Geezer Butlers recent book, he talks about it. He said they did not get along with YES. Said they were snobby Londoner's, except for Rick Wakeman. Said he was cool and kind of a drunk haa...that's why he ended up playing on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Cheers

[@JackSchitte]

I am now 71 years old and I saw Yes on this very tour because I recognize their clothes. To this day I have NEVER heard a band play such difficult arrangements with such perfection. Head and shoulders the best concert I ever saw and no one was in their league and I saw every band imaginable. You don't see many bands playing YES songs because they aren't good enough musicians. By the way guys...keep up your Steely Dan journey. You won me over with your appreciation of all of their music library. Fagen and Becker were my favorites from the first time I heard "Do It Again" sometime in 1973!

[@mataform]

Blimey these were such amazing musicians. Lucky to have been brought up with these talented people who I just took for granted.

Thanks for taking me back 40 plus years when I last saw Yes live and I had long hair! That was psychedelic jazz progressive with special guest appearance by Gandalf on keyboards! 🙃

[@benjohnson1633]

This is no question a great performance, but the audio leaves a lot to be desired. This is one time that I wish that you had reacted to the studio version. Steve Howe’s guitar solo isn’t on it, but I think you would’ve gotten a better overall feel for the track. But regardless, the performance here is outstanding! I’ve seen Yes 25 times over the decades, and I never felt cheated! In fact, the first time I saw them was in November of 1972. About a month prior to this performance.

[@RazzleDazz72]

[@se6550]

[@christianmarler2253]

This has to be one of the earliest live performances of this song. Regarding Steve Howe's guitar solo on the studio version, Wikipedia says: "Howe built up the guitar parts using overdubs, which was a new experience to him. Howe stated that he created "a 'studioized' solo because it was made up in different sections. I became three guitarists."

[@Greg-io1ip]

Steve Howe won Guitar Magazine's best player 5 years in a row. They retired him after that, so others had a chance to win. He is so under rated & seldom even mentioned on the lists of top guitar players of all time, or at least way down the list. Yes, that was Chris Squire on the bass. Not sure if that was Bruford or White on the drums.

[@dolfinpt]

Steve is The Best! Alan White on drums here!

[@dolfinpt]

Yes just announced there US your! Only original member is Steve. As I mentioned I’ve been fortunate to see them live 50+ times and it’s hard to see them with only Steve left! Don’t get me wrong-Jon Davidson, Billy Sherwood, Jeff Downes and Palmeroy I think on drums-all do a great job still playing all our old favs….just not the same! Dam Steve was hot this concert!!! Woot! He doesn’t always do those solos like that!❤❤❤❤❤

Great reaction, guys! I saw Yes live during the 90125 tour (pre-internet, pre-you can see whatever you want), but obviously, could not see the guitar mastery of Steve Howe. When compared to the legendary guitarists, it is tough to compare him to anyone. He is his own animal. What an amazing guitar performance. Definitely has the nuances of a classically trained guitarist, but, Wow! I definitely need to see more live performance footage.

[@user-ob7je4nc6c]

Holy shit….. you guys are digging deep, “YES” master of Prog Rock….. Thank You 🙏🏻 what’s next ??? Lol Old school “Genesis” 🙏🏻

[@ThatsMrPencilneck2U]

Steve Howe came out of more of a Country/Western background than the rest of the band. That's what gave this album such a warm feeling. Yes started out as a Jazzy Rock band with Classical ambitions, but Howe made his mark on this LP. The guy in the gold shawl took their "Classical ambition" to the next level. This band was going in so many directions at once, there was no way they could possibly put out anything dull. Well, not until the century was getting old, anyway.

[@vicprovost2561]

Awesome live version but Yes in the studio on this is worth checking out as well. They were spot on no matter when I saw them or who was in the band from the early 70s to the mid 90s. One of the top 5 Prog-Rock bands ever in my book, I got to see them, ELP, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and genesis at least a couple times times each back in the 70s in their heyday, memories of a lifetime! They sure don't make music like those bands did anymore, they will be remembered and have adherents like Mozart and Beethoven far into the future, they truly are forever music! Try Epitaph by King Crimson from In the Court of the Crimson King for more greatness. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@mrnobody3161]

I've done a deep dive on all the recordings of former and current Yes band members solo and other side projects and collaborations. The total number of Albums is easily over 1,000, and you haven't reacted to another band called ; Asia which features 2 members of Yes, Steve Howe and Jeff Downes.

[@peterhineinlegen4672]

I caught them on the 9021Live tour, the Trevor Rabin years. He has some pretty good records too. That era isn't as popular as earlier versions, but that is just a symptom of the 80s. Many bands didn't 80s well, but there's still great music there. The 80s band could play the old stuff note for note, and the overall stage show was better.

Such a shame this concert was filmed in the dark, recorded with a terrible audio, and edited to such a short length by Steve Howe's brother (which explains his prominence in so many shots). I saw them on this tour in '72 at the peak of their powers and the film's quality doesn't do them justice.
