I'm 46 years old and have never gotten myself around to enjoy Yes from the early years. I loved the album with Owner of a lonely heart' on it.

This song here is actually the first time I don't stop listening, am intrigued, want to know how it evolves. Have listened to the whole thing although it's quite a lengthy tune.

So... it can take that long - 30 years in my case - to finally feel a connection with a certain band/music.

Thanks RP fo making that possible for me {#Biggrin}

What happened to Jon Anderson?
 

A few years ago I went to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. After they finished their usual show, the front man gave a little speach praising Yes and thanked them for the influence they had on his musical preference. Then he introduced a special guest...Jon Anderson. Then they performed a kickass Roundabout!

I can understand why RP doesn't play Yes often - they are not an easy listen, the meaning of the lyrics is either undecipherable or at the least very obscure, and Jon Anderson's vocal style is pretty unusual.  But man/dude, their musical talent - both the composition and execution - is unmistakable!

They were about to go on tour when Anderson had a respiratory problem and they had to postpone the tour. Then the rest of the band decided to get the tour going again without him (don't know why) and hired a tribute band singer. I find it very lame that they would tour without the heart and soul of the band. They are all very talented musicians yet Anderson is largely responsible for their success and over-all sound. Anderson is recovered and doing mini solo tours at this time.
 
In the early-80s they toured for a while with a replacement singer - Trevor Horn - one of the members of The Buggles (the other member - Downes - also played keyboards on that tour). I saw them on that tour. It wasn't bad but it wasn't Anderson.

I recently saw a broadcast on satellite TV of one of their concerts from just a couple years ago. I was surprised at how well Anderson sounded on it but I think they were careful which selections they used. 

Given their many lineup changes over the years it is amazing how consistent they sound. Maybe not to quite the point of King Crimson, but getting there.

Although I generally found the high-pitched singing style to be irritating and the frenzied instrumentals to be grating, I did see Yes in concert (New Haven, 1979). What was really annoying was that the singers really could not even remotely approach the notes they sing on the albums. Maybe time and age had intervened, but without the vocals being at least reasonable approximations of the upper ranges they were intending, the overall effect was not pleasing. How they might manage in 2010, I can only shudder to think.

This is from 1971 after all, before Zappa really got his stride and was handing the Black Page to auditioning drummers.  Yes never really got any better than this.  Zappa, though, just kept getting better and better

Agreed.  This is the best cut of the LP.  

A tad bombastic and self-important?  Yes, perhaps.  Jon Anderson's voice actually seems to work in this song.  The writing is incredibly original.  And I hum along through the whole song!

 

Yes!

Absolutely.  Avatarland felt like familiar territory thanks to the Yes cover art.

 

Enjoyed Avatar but wish it was not so misleading.  Corporations do not cleanse folks; governments cleanse folks.

how many crappy commercial stations would have listeners taking the time to write in with their diverse memories, opinions and perspectives (based on age as much as culture) about the music being played. This what RP is all about. Confronting us with stuff we forgot or never knew. Yes to the album cover. Never mad about the band though. More technique and heart.
