YesSongs #2: YES - I've Seen All Good People

[@jobu88]

I feel sorry for anyone who wasn't around for the 1970s. So many great bands and albums.

[@mikeblankenship7930]

Me too. Lost count how many times we listened to this album when it came out.

[@DavidAlejandroYT]

@@boatsonsandDad showed me them when I was 12 (2015), and when I was 15-16 (2019) they became my world. Helped me survive high school.

[@boatsonsand]

@@DavidAlejandroYT Favorite album is. . . ?

[@DavidAlejandroYT]

@@boatsonsand The Yes Album!

[@shawnrobinson5912]

#YES was my first concert in 1977! I still have my ticket ❤

[@johnjohn1922]

I used to cry because when they played this the concert was over. 5 musicians brought together to give joy happiness and thoughts. I am going to listen again because this the best versio.... ever!

[@ripw1]

Agreed. The energy is unreal. And it shows why Alan White added so much

[@dontbakdown6015]

Yes....Jon Anderson had one amazing voice...perfect pitch..live or in studio....unique.

[@bobsbigboy_]

its autotuned here

[@ZANSOPECA]

RIP Chris Squire....part of the soundtrack of my life...a great loss for all of us..goodbye,rest in peace...we miss you..

[@will.a.benjamin]

"Don't surround yourself with yourself" what a great lyrical way of saying don't be self-righteous. Yes is a brilliant band, both musically and lyrically.

[@charlie172011]

never understood any of their lyrics :(

[@mikemorgenroth4954]

more like don't surround yourself with your own pieces in chess lol

[@mikemower1939]

More like dont be too self-centered... me, me, me... give me, give me, gimme...

[@ineffablemars]

Mike Morgenroth chess is a metaphor

[@todosassd1855]

I think it means don't be self-centered - Everything is NOT about you!

[@TrilbyKat]

RIP Chris Squire. Your talent and legacy live on to inspire us all.

[@stephenlennartz3466]

I gave a good friend (bass player) 2 tickets to see Yes for his birthday once. 5th row from his hero, Chris Squire. He still talks about it all these years later. Great show. Great friend.

[@mariovuksanovic5077]

They say prog rock as a term to put Yes in some sort of category but they are way about a simple term.....the vibe and improvisational skills of these gentleman is above and beyond most bands from this era and even today....Steve Howe dominates here like an Olympic athletic going for the gold...he is giving you Yessongs at full force....his superhuman athletic ability and high intellectual guitar playing are there for the world to see. At the time, he was recognized as being one of if not, the best guitarists according to guitar magazine. Although this music is very complex and made by virtuosos, it apeals to millions and millions of people. Some loyal Yes followers would like to believe that Yes appeals to their refined taste in music.... similar to fine wine appealing to a wine connoisseur. I may be one of those Yes fans!!!! That's my opinion and I welcome yours..

[@technojunkindatrunk]

Everything nicely said about YES 👍🏼 especially your comment about Steve Howe. He is the best!

[@moisesgutierrez1096]

Yes es una de las tres mejores bandas del rock progresivo y en grupo o como solistas han demostrado su virtusismo, de acuerdo en que steve howe es el mejor en este genero, y de rick weykman entre los 2 mejores tecladistas de esa epoca con una discografia muy prolifica y de muy fina musica de crish squire sin duda el mejor bajista y genial tambien como solista, y alan white un baterista exepcional, 2 de ellos ya no estan con nosotros y los añoramos cuando vemos sus cociertos en vivo son fan de yes, desde los 13 años de edad y actualmente tengo 66 años de edad, tengo toda su discografia, es mi banda favorita de rock progresivo, sin duda la mejor.

[@nattyhead5988]

Well said.

[@psychobuzzard]

was this not a truly marvelous band? Impeccable, unique, and innovative at their time.

[@boatsonsand]

Innovative, unparalleled, always-surprising music from masters.

[@GiggleFishy]

In 1973, my parents went on a 3-week vacation and gave me $20 to buy food while they were gone. I saved the money and lived on canned tuna so I could use the money to buy YesSongs. To hear it is one thing, but to see it . . . I never got to see them live, but this will do nicely. Thank you for posting this awesome concert. 👍🎵 🎸🥁🎤🎹🎶💖

[@survivorandlover]

@Dan Dugan .. this is 1973 dollars man, you could feed a house of kids with that.

[@jos8405]

I love that people talk about ther expiriences with music

[@u-0833]

I got to see them live in 1976 at The Cow Palace in San Francisco. We drove from Reno and had a great time.

[@allisonrich5061]

The best Yes concert closer. Such a positive vibe. If you're not up and dancing and singing along in the aisles, you're dead or you have no soul.

[@dionmcgee5610]

Or you can't dance. Or you don't dance.

[@fndr100]

still sends chills up and down my spine -- some of the greatest

[@lucyforrester2633]

Can't get enough of these guys...They were unmatched live, collectively and individually.

[@thevoid99]

thank you chris. we will miss you.

[@martinbosch8022]

I was 13. Now I'm 63 love em amazing. Best no doubt

[@diegooland1261]

Yep, me too

[@diegooland1261]

ya me too brother.

[@bekind593]

Best concert I ever attended Yes Louisville Ky. Steve Howe played numerous instruments, Jon's singing was extraordinary ❤😊

[@johnjohn1922]

2024 and all these years later. It reminded me to center myself! Spiritual adjustments provided by YES❤

[@JJProfVideo]

Chris Squire, rest in peace. Thanks for the music.

[@DukeEdwards29]

This is one Yes song that gets infinitely better when performed live.

[@ENB1968]

Thanks for all the wonderful music, Chris. Your inspiration no doubt made thousands want to take up bass guitar and write great songs, your talent echoes in Yes's music for the ages. Rest in peace, my friend.

[@fredmila]

What a voice, Jon Anderson

[@bitchnguy]

Steve Howe, such a great guitarist.

[@stephensears7512]

i saw this great band when they just released the " Going for the One " Album. At the Aud in Bflo. N.Y. It was an in the round stage. Christopher Squire was one of the best of All Time bass players.

[@stockjonebills]

Heaven is now enjoying some great bass playing. RIP Chris. You and your bass playing will be dearly missed.

[@RayJacksonbighmw]

....and don't forget about Lemmy (of Motorhead) upstairs as well.

[@Theweeze100]

There will never be another Chris. Thank you for that tone, those incredible bass lines, those wonderful harmonies. You are missed!!!

[@ianhughes5040]

I was at The Rainbow with two mates from school when this was recorded!

[@djroxanne4429]

RIP chris Squier 6-27 -2015 ~you were a good people god speed my brotha!! it depends where you see it..

[@ricky4001cs]

It was here, in the last month of 1972, that the greatest English rock band of the modern era did exist at the maximum speed of perfection. Live life in the moment and realize nothing lasts forever.

[@bitchnguy]

such a great band and Steve Howe just kills it.

[@davidlewis9525]

I love their album covers as much as I love their music. I use to stare at them for hours. No comment needed!

[@MagicThys]

They're having so much fun!

[@johnsullivan3628]

Chris Squire passed on? OMG... another great member of a great era gone. These guys were a part of my adolecense.

[@michellenine9486]

:(

[@stewartsanders7282]

+Michelle Smith i love you

[@brybish]

didnt know that

[@Billy-ld9ox]

One of the coolest songs , ever

[@ScottCutshall]

Ascend, Chris. Namaste.

[@peterkropp5603]

" Yes " ..

[@philipcrosby3970]

So glad I got to see them last year. Little did I know it would be the last time. Chris, you will always be the best here ever was.

[@RCL1026]

WOW! Magnificent! A young YES! Jon Anderson's voice is remarkable, and Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, and Alan White are jamming their asses off!

[@danielschneider2889]

RIP Chris Squire. The reason (along with Roger Glover) why I shelled out a years worth of allowance and and lawn cutting money to buy that first Rickenbacker all those years ago

[@engenhariaflorestal5976]

Valeu Chris... Curtimos muito com sua musicalidade!!! Continue a caminho do senhor.

[@robertradakovich3582]

Yes indeed. RIP Chris Squire. Arguably one of the most talented entertaining bassist of his generation. I was fortunate enough to have seen them live 7 times in Portland and LA.

[@jackjohnson2636]

I got to see them in the round when I was 14 been a fan ever since

[@jocelynr4940]

Timeless, simply timeless. I loved it then, and now.

[@dannylee5223]

I had the great honor of seeing Yes in the summer of 1976 at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah. Play on brother Chris ... I'm sure you will impress even the Angels in heaven ...

[@dlee7811]

I'm kind of jealous, never had the opportunity to see them live. Didn't appreciate them back then the way I appreciate them right now at this very moment.

[@peterkropp5603]

I saw this movie when it first came out ...circa 1975 ... I was 17 ... I just watched this again today , 2019 ...I am 61 years old ..Yes was my band then , as it is now .... ( tears ) ...

[@RayJacksonbighmw]

I have the Rhino VHS (bought in 1997, recorded in superior SP mode) of it, and used to have the VidAmerica release (bought from Sam Goody, for $9.95, in 1992, recorded in the infamous EP mode, basically 30-minutes of tape made to be 90 minutes in length) of it before upgrading to the more-proper Rhino version.

[@davefitzgerald5334]

Steve Howe is a genius ! Love him.

[@eredison8584]

I don't know what date it was.I believe these were recorded over two days.I was at one of them,on the balcony.

[@judykinne7534]

R.I.P. Chris ! Thanks for all the wonderous music you gave us ! A GREAT bassist- you will be missed !

[@dannytortora696]

Favorite song of all time magical 🧙‍♀️

[@ninalee8625]

Yes was amongst my favorites, but at the top of the list for this genre was Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

[@iwannatheoxari3921]

Chris Squire RIP . YES was along with Genesis THE BAND OF MY YOUTH and always will !!!!

[@sca1871]

These guys are totally fire live. 100% on point

[@pablogigante]

alan white looks like he's having an absolute blast here

[@markdarnell614]

Is Alan in the audience? - because the drummer in 1972 was Bill Bruford!

[@markdarnell614]

Actually - unless this date in incorrect ...that is Alan White! Maybe Bruford has just departed to join King Crimson! Sorry - My Bad!

[@elmervasquez4968]

mark darnell it’s Alan white, Bufford didn’t preform with yes for Yessongs

[@jcdaniel3015]

Elmer Vasquez he did some songs and Alan did some songs for the album

[@Silenceeify]

@@markdarnell614 Bill Bruford left the band in 1972. and Alan White joined right before the tour.

[@joserogeriomattos6415]

When the Beatles split out, i start to listem prog rock; the first LP of yes i heard was Yessongs; the first impression never vanished; i bought other original, but, for me, this is a master compilation.

[@SusieVKaufman]

Tremendously sad about the loss of Chris Squire...

[@jaxbus3000]

so sad....yet another great falls. RIP Chris.

[@joesmith6990]

jaxbus3000 yep!

[@ZaZaDigital]

what an amazing bass player you have always been Jam on

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

i saw them live once with a round rotating stage in the middle of the hockey rink..cool stuff

[@jeffroche8549]

I saw that too. It was the Roundabout Tour

[@warriordragonify]

Did that happen to be in Fresno, '74, greenish bluish lighting, etc...?

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

No it was in Calgary Alberta,i was in Banff and drove to Calgary to catch them (i believe it was the winter of 1979)

[@warriordragonify]

Trev Mac The 1974 gig was at Selland Arena, Home of a Minor League Hockey team.Fresno. Average High Temperature 77 degrees.

[@csgodankradio5009]

puns like that are not cool. Chill out man.

[@caioprado2668]

RIP Chris! God Bless you!

[@yanges]

I saw them live in the 70’s - freaking awesome!

[@josephvassallo9858]

Thank god for You Tube. Like being there with them yesterday. Amazing talented professional Musicians. The yes reunion tour is incredible and who can top Rick Wakeman, Keyboard expert of this century.

[@lisacipriani6105]

I don't know what to say...I'll try. You are beautiful. ...happy tears. ..joy.

[@carolesmith9868]

saw Jon Anderson last year (2022) with John Lodge of the Moody Blues, and he has not lost a beat, his voice was as clear as ever, but then again John Lodge hasn,t lost anything either.

[@danakruss7703]

Just saw them last night, Portland, OR( Anderson, Wakeman, Rabin)! Still awesome! Great show!

[@cookmoore3736]

Lovelyyyyy-beautiful harmony. Jon has harmony just with himself-he always made me think he was naturally autotuned/harmony-melody in one voice. Something about that high voice and the way he bends it...hmmm

[@legoreviews1019]

RIP Chris Squire

[@akaFrits1]

Good to see these recordings in good shape again :) (better than the old DVD I have, both sound and image quality). For some strange reason the download of this track with Mozilla Firefox is 0 bytes.

[@周丁丁]

Best live band ever

[@billybundorxo]

Rush is an excellent live band too!

[@solidcatink]

YES, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, my top 3 of all time.

[@Excalibur2112]

solidcatink This is the one song by Yes that sounds Zeppelin-esque to me, especially the 2nd half when Howe's great electric guitar playing kicks into overdrive.

[@solidcatink]

True ! I also feel that the intro acoustic guitar resembles LZ's acoustics songs :)

[@Excalibur2112]

Van Halen are pretty great live too, especially the earlier days with Diamond DLR, lol...

[@tylerdod9838]

All I can say is Steve Howe.......................

[@frankeyperu]

looks like a really scary serial killer?

[@richardfluellen1989]

Effortless vocals, sounds like a Angel wow

[@hardyharhar9]

Steve Howe is a beast.

[@dbrinkm1]

This song was played on FM radio 24/7 after I ended my Combat Medic /Op Rm Tech. career with the US military during the Vn War and started Graduate School at Illinois State Univ...."Don't surround yourself with yourself" ...means do not be these things....boorish brash ,careless,discourteous,hasty,impolite,incautious,indelicate,intolerant,reckless,rude,self-centered,selfish,sharp,short,tactless,thoughtless,unceremonious,uncharitable,ungracious,unkind, and unthinking...Peace to all of you...db

[@furiacabocla2furiacabocla589]

What a beautiful song...

[@nickthestick26]

Always loved this band. Their heyday was before my time as I didn't get introduced to them until the mid 1990s, but they are easily in my top 10 all time favorite bands, which is a pretty exclusive group considering how many bands I've listened to :D

[@fullsentimental997]

Jon Anderson, a so much underatted singer.

[@seivaDsugnA]

He's actually pretty highly rated for singing. The problem is overating worse singers. Justin Bieber reset set the bar.

[@sidf78]

great voices

[@ale07101973]

Splendido concerto ascoltato quando però già avevo conosciuto Close to the Edge e Yes (White Album) e Time and a Word ed avuto il piacere di apprezzare lo stile di Bill Bruford (a mio avviso insuperabile nella formazione ) rispetto ad Alan White che invece vediamo all'opera proprio in Yesssongs da cui è tratto questo video

[@fredaragon208]

Well said ricky! The metaphysical Wonder of modern music. Happy New Year to all you good people and everybody...everywhere!

[@navyskaterdude]

Love You Guys, Miss Chris....RIP My Old Friend. You guys should do like Chapters. The Original Lineup thru Roundabout (God did you guys Rock Boston Garden ) The Buggles Blend, Owner of a Lonely Heart. I love it it all! Who was drummer on th>s song. He was Having Such Fun, Big Smile! Can you pull together n one more tour before it's to late

[@thomaskupfererdo9107]

My Favorite Live Band from the 70's. First had the privilege of being at a Live Concert in summer 1975 at the Mississippi River Festival in Edwardsville IL on campus of SIU. Phenomenal concert. Saddened to hear of Chis Squire's Death. RIP Chris.

[@bethbockus1395]

Woa! I was there too! Grew up in West Co. St. Louis. Spent many long nights at the old University Theater watching Yessongs and LZ" Song remains the Same"

[@bethbockus1395]

Varsity Theater - U City My bad, been 40+ years Do they still do the Mississippi River Fest? Saw Jerry Garcia, Flying Burrito Bros, Jesse Colin Young there as well.

[@carlosmolinatamayo8291]

grew up in Democratic Venezuela, British invasion music in the 60ths is part of my character. After 50 year saw YES in Glasgow Scotland.

[@scottanderson6166]

Wore out my VHS tape watching this. The magic is still there, just let it be there.

[@MrDiederikDuck]

Deeply impressed by the harmonical carpet that is weaved by the vocalists.

[@pattiwalsh7316]

Nothing like "YES" in all time, & soo amazing to sing 1 of my fav. songs @ karaoke. So. Fla has the best karaoke singers. All are great, enuf to be pro"s.

[@ricky4001cs]

Today (7/1/15) at 3pm in Scottsdale Arizona the mortal remains of Chris Squire were cremated. I am here now to listen, to see, to remember and to rejoice in what is quite simply the best of the best! Fair winds Mr Squire, Thank You!

[@hmackie6823]

the guy is a phenom...worth the price of admission

[@rosellamorales6755]

My favorite from Yes, beauty

[@superfalconpunch2]

I remember seeing this film at the Lawrence Drive-in!

[@sugarmagnolia6135]

I've seen so many bands in concert but not this one - that I recall (remember is was the 60s) Did not know Chris Squire had died - one of the greatest RIP. I did see Rick Wakeman in concert in Anaheim. Hit new record - 17 1/2 joints in an hour and 1/2. what's funny is that he really new his audience - he had no security & you could walk backstage & meet him if you wanted and everyone in our section which was maybe 50 feet from backstage, all looked & said, naw too far to walk......besides we were chowin' down - total munchie attack! LOL

[@morbiusman12]

Saw this tour at the Hollywood Bowl while I was in 9th grade. Movie in Westwood at the National Theater. Pretty, but too cosmic for me until all yes lyrics and Music made sense two years later... lol Credit Steve Howe and learning all his licks by ear to move forward into Jazz Guitar.

[@FishHeadSalad]

I learned the keyboards for executing Excerpts From “The Six Wives of Henry VIII” based on this album. Also, I painted the Roger Dean inner fold out art three times from the Yessongs album. Twice in oil, one time in acrylic. Also, I had the pleasure of a one on one meeting with Rick Wakeman when he did a very small audience performance at CBN in Virginia Beach years ago. I shook his hand and let him know that he inspired me to become a keyboardist and also that I could play the entire Excerpts From “The Six Wives of Henry VIII.

[@TheHcSilva]

Thank you Chris. Send an instant karma to me, initial it with loving care
