Howe is the most unique guitar player who ever walked on this planet! -this guy is unbelievable.

[@MrGonzorhea]

I got to meet him in a album signing for Asia, looked him straight in the eye and said "You're the best, man." He said thanks and seemed to take it to heart.

[@elderrobertv.fullersr.1739]

Indeed without a doubt 🎸🎸🎸

[@tonusaitis]

I don’t know of another guitar player who can play all the different styles he can. And who plays live and switches between all those different kinds of guitars? Answer: no one. Howe is totally one of a kind.

[@austinscorpio5468]

I. LOVE JEFF BECK & WAS BROKEN-HEARTED AT HIS SUDDEN PASSING. STEVE HOWE IS THE LAST OF THE ORIGINAL GREATS. HOW DID HE AMASS SUCH A UNIQUE TALENT IN '71. AND SO DAMN YOUNG. I WISH NO ONE WOULD DIE W THIS GOD GIVEN SKILL.

[@YannicAsselin]

THE BEST Yes show that I ever saw (2 drums, 2 keyboards, 2 guitars, 1 bass and singer). Every songs sounded like a ton of brick and hit you right in the gut. Just one word for that show WOW. More then 26 years later and I still remember the feeling of it.

[@jasonlacroix6083]

I saw that tour also. My first "In the Round" experience. It was amazing!

[@richtomlinson7090]

I also saw this tour in the round, front row and it was bittersweet because my friend that had muscular dystrophy and got us the handicapped section seats, he couldn't make it because he was having a medical emergency in the hospital, so watching this tour in Albany NY front row was especially powerful. Funny thing is I couldn't convince anyone that the extra front row ticket I had was real, and I couldn't sell it to anyone however I tried. I wasn't even trying to sell it for more than face value. Every musician on that stage was phenomenal.

[@frankhoulihanfh4972]

I was 3rd row for that Albany show and I feel like I’ll even remember it when I’m dead. It was, is that unforgettable. ❤ Yes forever!!!

[@dgv5711]

The bass player counts for 2. One of the best ever. 😁

[@etmeyutub]

The best show I have ever been to period. This tour in Washington DC. My friends had bought their tickets on the first sale date. I bought mine last minute. Three days before the show. I sat with them up in nosebleed. There were some empty seats around them and they had the shrooms. About half way through I ventured down to my seat just to see where it was. I kept going lower and lower and lower. My seat was in like row 5. I was looking UP to the band. No one was sitting to my right, left, front or back. I spread out, put my feet up. Heaven. Ticket price was the same, too. Not like today, where you'd pay 800 dollars for up front seat tickets.

[@bahusofriends5467]

Absolute classic! Timeless.Look at these stageanimals! Love, it! Every second of it. Lost in music, circumstances, thats just where you are.

[@JJ8KK]

How did Yes manage to attract two such incredibly talented guitar players as Steve Howe and Trevor Rabin? It may have been difficult for the two of them to share the same space on stage, but they did a great job of displaying their talents in a song that was ideally suited for them to wow us with their musical abilities. Loved it!

[@giovannigalvagno8720]

Howe is incredibly affected by Rabin's presence on stage. He doesn't do the half of what he is capable of. Rabin shines

[@williamreilly8520]

Trevor Rabin is great but Steve Howe is Friggin motzart

[@jaimedrum]

And 2 incredible drummers with Bruford and White

[@Joe-mz6dc]

@giovannigalvagno8720 Nonsense. Howe played excellent this tour.

[@U2WB]

Union Tour ! Two great guitarists and two great drummers ! Oh and 2 great keyboardists and 3 great vocalists ! Anderson, Squire, Rabin.

[@peterober1543]

Yours is no disgrace turned me into a Yes fan for some 50 years already, this is a fantastic performance of the song. Thanks for uploading

By far the union tour 91 the greatest ever in the round.scene twice at the spectrum.

[@nrg16108]

Amazing concert-Rabin was being a shredder show-off but these 2 versions of Yes all playing together will never be forgotten! Remember all the Hits Trevor wrote for the band like Lonely Heart and made them very popular, before you criticize his guitar playing.

[@jasonlacroix6083]

He does tv and movie soundtracks now. I see his name pop up in the credits.

[@kevinkaye3115]

Thank you Tim Bryan, Crystal Lake Illinois for turning me on to this in 1972

[@marktheelf53]

I saw 2 times YES in '70 (sigh!) with original set...fantastic days!

[@toddnyquist6532]

To see Chris smiling and having a great time and just on it is a treat! Would give anything to have this tour as a memory! They were all at the TOP of their game!

[@davidw5993]

I was at the MSG show which I believe closed the tour, and they blew the roof off the place...it was transcendent.

[@marcmanis2970]

The extrodanary band of all time nobody plays live like them better than a recording

[@Aart1953]

Saw them in Rotterdam in the Union Tour in 1991. They opened the show with this. It was the start of a great and unforgettable concert. The turning round podium in the middle of the arena and all these great musicians together. Yes rocked like never before!

[@chwthomas09]

They opened every Union Tour show with YIND as I'm aware.

[@ricky4001cs]

I remember the sound being so well mixed, so overwhelming. I also remember being surprised at how well the two guitarists playing styles overlapped and wove in between each other, all at the same time. Great show! As always, YES!

[@barbaracostner4340]

Yes is one of the best bands ever formed . They don't have music like this any more . This real music at it's best

It was an amazing show! I saw it in Indianapolis. Three hours of the most fantastic music you can imagine. They played everything you could have wanted to hear.

[@joanmarks2151]

They're all fabulous !! Did see them, great show !!

[@tarakeebler9242]

1 of the thousands of Masterpieces that is a TRUE classic!

[@Neilfrozn]

Steve Howe is in a class all by himself. There aren't many better guitarists to be found.

[@nicholaskarter4735]

when I was 17 (in the heyday of yes) I thought Howe was a virtuoso. Having heard much more music and guitarist, I have down graded him to a good guitarist with lots of ambition and range. Rabin is an altogether guitar player... You also have people like Metheny, Scofield, Holdsworth and others who are true virtuosos.

[@caslox]

First time I have seen the full length of this stunning track, I always loved Yes what a fantastic show this must have been.

[@karenreardon5398]

One of my favorite songs of theirs. The guitars and keyboards are phenomenal! Bravo Yes!!❤❤️

[@Kyle2k10]

The best and most terrific version of Yours is no Disgrace ever. A multitude of sounds, mixing the old and more melodic Yes with its more modern and heavier version of the Rabin era. Wherever this show was recorded, this song (and perhaps the entire show) deserves a remastered and cleaner audio. Does anyone know where to find?

[@lauriepanzicabeal7566]

I love everyone in the band all so talented , THE BEST

[@oliviertilanus]

That little fall into Big Generator at 10:15, so good.

[@richtomlinson7090]

I got to see this tour at the time's union center in Albany NY. My buddy had muscular dystrophy, and we got front row because of his wheelchair, but when the time was near, he had health problems and ended up in the hospital. I was sad, even though he made a recovery, he missed the show. I tried to sell the extra front row seat at cost, but everyone was skeptical and I ate the ticket. It was a great show in a front row seat in the round, but I cried a few times thinking my friend was dying in a hospital, while I was seeing this up close. Amazing memories. Rob got a tracheotomy and lived quite awhile longer until he reached 50 years old. I miss my friend and chris squier.

[@tangerinedream7211]

What a line up, classic yes fondly remembered from my sixth form days at Wolstanton grammar school.

[@benchirico1628]

I'd have too say The Yes Union Tour was 1 of the greatest non-Benefit show's i'd ever seen.. Caught this tour at MSG New York City.. Sat side stage lodge with 3 of my best friends.. The stage was set up different Bufford and White were along side each other back of the stage, like a traditional band set up.... And Patrick Moraz was on the other keyboards instead of Tony Kaye... To this day i sometimes bring up this show to my buddy's and all of them tell me, I WAS SO HIGH AT THAT SHOW I HARDLY REMEMBER IT!!!!!!... Well, i was just high enough and remember it all!!!!!!! The Band played their entire recorded History.. 3 hour plus concert.. just AMAZING...................

[@sumego4180]

My guess is a lot of arguing who plays what part.

[@jimlutz8092]

I'm a fan of '70's YES, back in their peak of live perfomances. I saw them in 78' & 79', and for me it's all about the Core Five (Anderson, Squire, Howe, Wakeman, and Alan White on drums). What I like best about seeing this footage of Union Tour is Bruford playing more of the percussionist role while White chugs along as the premier live rock drummer of my lifetime (and I've seen all the best drummers). Bruford was the great studio perfectionist with the jazz chops, but White brought them to another level playing live, especially when they really rock out like on this track.

[@frankhoulihanfh4972]

This is correct.

[@jackmckok87]

Steve, Trevor and Chris. The best trio of guitars ever.

[@TheRealTomWendel]

A shining moment in the highly criticized Union your. Four part vocal harmony is outstanding and nobody seems to overstep their role. Howe and Rabin complement each other nicely on the signature lengthy guitar passage.

[@pwethman1]

The Union tour wasn’t criticized at all. The album was a disaster though! Rick Wakeman called it “Onion” because it made him cry whenever he heard it! Possibly the best 3 concerts I ever saw!

[@retrostu6917]

i remember being in Washington DC for this tour. It was an awesome show to go to. I was still younger, and always loved them growing up

[@MrBarflie]

The cool thing about Steve Howe's playing is he never really had very much gain . Gibson ES 175 through a couple of Fender Twins ? Doesn't get any cleaner than that .

[@rollomaughfling380]

That's what so many young players don't seem to get about Steve, and about electric guitar. Precision and power through the fingers can sound like a banshee when a band is tight. You're playing a guitar, not a pedal. Want to learn how a true guitar great plays the way they do? Study their influences; use a metronome. Imagine Wes Montgomery or Chet Atkins with a Mesa Boogie. Silly, right? Spend six months in an ashram with Carol Kaye studying tempo/groove, and maybe-MAYBE we'll let you have an MXR compressor or treble boost on the way in.

[@user-xu4ow3bu6f]

I like this because Tony and Bill, who are on the original cut, are here playing together, which is rare. Very few videos of that incarnation of Yes before Wakeman and White.

[@lenini056]

So is Howe, Squire and Anderson. How can you forget them?

[@user-xu4ow3bu6f]

@@lenini056 yes of course but I mean in addition to them, and in a rare instance, because these two that is Tony and Bill, had not played together on stage for such a long time.

@TheThroet I totally agree!! I saw them when they were the lead in band for Jethro Tull at the Alexandria Roller Rink. (Alexandria,Va.)'71-'72!!

[@JamesZaworski]

I'm a consummate YES fan, and have been since about 1970 or so. I saw YES in the Union tour in the DC area, and enjoyed it quite a lot. Yours is No Disgrace has a bit of "old and new" competition in the form of Howe/Bruford and Rabin/White, but it is just apples and oranges. Everything is good. I love how the competing Yes and ABWH lineups unified here. Despite what the critics say, Union was a good CD overall and the tour was also really good. 'Nuff said. Yes.

[@tonusaitis]

Good thing when I saw this tour live I couldn’t hear all the stuff Trevor Rabin was playing during the Steve Howe songs. It’s interesting to be able to hear it in this video, but truthfully I only want to hear Howe on the classic Yes songs. Rabin was overplaying big time and needed to chill out and back off. Howe didn’t do that on Rabin’s songs.

[@jug3435]

Agree - but little bit of Dance of Maya at 10min mark - can forgive MHO insert.

[@Grayham4]

So many good things about this. Chris is killing at usual. The way he mimics Jon's vocal timing in the last verse is almost comical. Everyone is clearly enjoying themselves. And Trevor and Howe shredding at the same time in the first couple minutes was incredible. As for the Trevor solo section that everyone can't stand, I've heard them do that on multiple songs such as Our Song, Heart of the Sunrise, and this. So it's not as if they were trying to change the song, and you can't really say they ruined the song either. It was more of an interlude that they did in different places different years.
