Somewhere Out There is a pro shot of the going for the one tour. I don't know who has it but it would be great if they released it.

Bill Bruford is the coolest guy ever.

I LOVE this doc.

Why?

I remember when turnrables had 4 speeds. 16, 331/3, 45, and 78. I played a 331/3 album on 16 speed. Songs of course half the speed, but the vocals sound great one octave lower! I listened to them that way often. By the way, great post! Thanks!

The greatest prog band of all time. I mean, I love ELP, King Crimson, Gentle Giant...but in the end, Yes stands alone. (Also, the 1975 Relayer tour was the absolute zenith of what a prog concert could be. Please...someone...invent a time machine. I need to experience that show just one more time.)

Great documentary on Yes. I saw Yes three times in the 70s during, Fragile, CTTE, The Yes Album. I have the ticket stubs somewhere to prove it. What a great band. What a great time to be young. Yes was and will always be my favorite band. RIP Chris, Alan and Tony. I still listen to you every day. YES FOREVER!❤

My wife (then girlfriend) bought the YES box set for me in which this video was included and it was one of the best gifts ever.

I loved tales of topographic oceans! And I saw them do the relayer album in Chicago outdoors add Hawthorne race course must have been 75! Was like seeing God! Sound chaser, to be over, Gates of delirium! Absolutely god-like!

Great video of my favorite band ever, but whoever the person (probably a lawyer) is who had all the video removed for "copyright restriction" is an A-hole.

Fire 🔥

This is great. Thanks. Great footage.

What is the piece Tony is playing at 1:38:50 ?

Look how young they look - they have either died or look really old now, time goes really too quickly. And the electronic drums of this era have never sounded good, they sound awful here.

I would love to see a documentary like this on King Crimson.

Looked like some professionally shot footage from the Topographic tour. Wonder where that's at now?

This is amazing, thank you ❤

Super fab! 😊

Luckily, I found a dvd edition of it … in a record store… in the 2000’s

It was so great to have him in little clubs in DC......he was ours

Jeez, Yes are THE best ever "Prog rock" band, & "Going for the one" is a masterpiece, but so is "Relayer" its way ahead of its time, ONLY intelligent people like Yes, they are beyond stupid people, fools, & idiots.

The Union Tour rehearsal and opening show were in Pensacola, FL. April 9th, 1991. I was there fantastic show ruclips.net/video/gLhPZXgc1oY/видео.htmlsi=dKmq75cicOBVesfn

"The Yes Album," "Close to the Edge," and "Tales from Topographic Oceans" are the Holy Trinity of Yes albums to me. I love "Fragile," of course, but those three are my personal favorites.

jai se dvd chez moi eh oui a l'epoque on achetais et c'etais bien mieux ...bref ...yes sera toujours yes le son , meme s'il n'y a plus que steve howe comme membre officiel et le temps a passer aussi et il est vrai que depuis que jon anderson n'en est plus ca n'a plus le meme impact ...il etais le fondateur et l'ame du groupe et cette voix pour conclure je serais fan a vie

Surely the most talented band in history - I mean in terms of performance and compositional proficiency

Markku Kanerva!

If you did have the Laserdisc I really doubt it would look much different than the VHS sourced copy you posted. A lot of LD's are nothing special image-wise, the audio might be superior but unless the source was remastered the picture would not be remarkable compared to true High Def.

I also had this VHS. I've always been struck by Jon's acoustic version of Long Distance Runaround at 22:23. I remember wishing they would release a version like this.

Very first show ever - the old Chicago Stadium '73, classic lineup.Very interesting environment for a young suburban lover of the fading counterculture scene...did NOT go with my parents, hell no. No one did, are you crazy? They woulda sent me to military school - huge generation gap in those days - you didn't hang around with mom and pop, or call them you're 'best friend'. Telling them everthing? Hahahahaha!! 🎛🔊 ✌

Thank god thay have stopped dear animals going on long journeys across the channel to be killed,so it stopped for good yesterday, i hope Paul reads my comment xxxx

Ringo think's he is great he ant 😮

I've always heard that Rick disliked Tales From Topographic Oceans and even that he mocked it at times, but I'd never heard his full explanation here. The fact that he recognizes there were some really strong melodies being developed but an awful lot of padding is fair. I find there are some of Yes' most beautiful melodies and greatest moments in Tales, while I can understand why he and others say there is a lot of padding. The album is such a journey that a few meandering interludes don't really bother me but it's hard not to wonder how things would have turned out if the whole band could have worked together until they were satisfied with the final result as they had on previous albums.

My band! Enjoyed this documentary. I love Yes. So interesting to hear the musicians speak of all the changes. They sound like no other band imo.. Love their spirituality. RIP Chris &: Alan.❤🎉❤

2:09:48 You were right, Rick! But it's good to know you're still with us as of the time of this comment.

I was never following Yes during the Trevor Rabin era, but I like what I hear here. Both his attitude & determination to make it work are impressive. Plus, it seems like he was a heck of a player & singer in his own right guiding YES into the future!

Glad to see Yes get their due. An incredibly innovative & talented band, Yes was one of the premier progressive rock bands of the 70's and beyond. Love these deep dives into classic bands!

Copyright restrictions in this case are the proof for the stupidity of men.

Absolutely love this. Appreciate the upload.

*I heard that YES were inspired to name themselves after the installation art piece by Yoko Ono where you climb a ladder and focus a magnifying glass on a word written on the ceiling. That word was 'yes'* It's the same piece that inspired Lennon to want to meet her*

The Union Tour was Awesome!! Saw them in the Seattle Key Arena and even managed to score a complete bootleg recording (who remembers the tape tradings days from back in the day?!)

I just found out, that George Martin had perfect pitch? Had never heard that before. Think Paul has it?

Way back many many moons ago (1974), YES head friends and I attended the RELAYER tour when they played at Cobo Hall in Detroit. One of our friends, Dan, was able to make a piercing loud whistle, which ended up becoming recorded by the ambient microphones hung from the rafters. Dan's whistling ended up being heard at the beginning of one of the live songs that was included on the YESSONGS album.

My fave album is Relayer, which had the best keyboardist. Patrick could play circles around Wakeman, and had a much broader palette with his jazz and latin elements. It's funny how Bill's departure took the jazziness out of Yes, but Patrick brought jazziness back into Yes. And it's kinda cool that Bill & Patrick never played together in Yes, but worked on Chris' solo album, then years later made two albums together. The whole Yes story is full of strange things like this. BTW Patrick's 1976 solo album is only bettered by Chris's. It's truly shameful how Patrick was booted out for crass commercial reasons, and was uncredited/unpaid for his material that was used on GFTO.

Sorry, but White was a very poor choice. Not even close to the edge of representing the style that formed Yes.

Yes was never as good with Alan….just a boring rock drummer

You had Chris and Bill…with Jon on vocals….how cudthatnot work

Wakeman's contribution to Topographic Oceans was beyond amazing, and to realize that it was an album that he didn't like is mind blowing. How does one perform so well on a project he doesn't care for? Full credit to his musicianship.
