YES are without any doubt, my all-time best ever favourite band in the history of music including every imaginable genre! I'm a Bass Player because of the finest ever on the planet, Mr Christopher Squire who is and will remain the best and that even takes into account all the awesome virtuosos in Fusion who all sound so similar! Chris is absolutely unique with a wonderful voice! To be able to play such ludicrously beautiful basslines in weird time signatures and sing such different vocal lines and play the Moog Taurus pedals shows a superhum amount of coordination!!! I love Chris like a wonderful older brother and I'll aways miss him with all my broken heart!!! XXXXX
@@petersonlafollette3521 Except Rabin who is south African. He is a VERY modest guy despite his massive talent. Totally wasted doing music for films, he resurrected Yes. He is completely underrated.
Trevor Rabin wrote in his twitter: "Hi everyone, I am about as sad as I could be. You all I'm sure know by now that Chris has passed. I spoke to him about a week ago, and we were still laughing together. Even though he had recently taken a turn for the worse, this was not totally unexpected, and the shock and sadness is extreme. I will miss him terribly. An era is over. Music has lost a one of a kind, and I have lost a dear friend and brother. RIP"
Perhaps Chris' death will be the key needed to open the door of the rock and roll hall of fame! Its a travesty that Yes is not already there! RIP, to one of the greatest Bass players the world has seen!
Christopher Wood Forget the Hall of Shame Yes is too good for that nonsense.Alex Lifeson of Rush had the greatest speech there.They are a joke.If Yes is to continue Jon Anderson has to come back or else put the band to rest.They are just a tribute band now
You will not be the judge of whether Yes should cease to exist or not. Jon Anderson does not NEED Yes and Yes does not NEED Chris Squire. There will come a time when the last original member retires and the newest member takes his place. It is my sincere hope that Yes is playing great music a hundred years from now. Now THAT is something to say YES to.
At 70 I enjoy listening to Yes as when I was 16-17as with Floyd Zeppelin Genesis Santana Steely Dan ELP Deep Purple Rainbow The Doors Supertramp,the list goes on
We are of the same age and we still rock. I just get a charge when I crank my stereo, of course the wife says...Are you deaf! Not in the least. I just love my music.
What a great collection of talent. One can only imagine the clash of egos that went on behind the curtains on this tour. Saw them in Atlanta at the Lakewood Amphitheater. Somehow, i had never heard Awaken before that day. Thought it was a new song. Absolutely blew my mind. It still does. Chris flies on the silent wings of freedom.
So many difference between Rabin and Howe. Rabin seems more laid back and has great chemistry with Wakeman and Squire. Howe, on the other hand, is so focused and dialed n. Rabin is a shredder and a rock guitarist. Howe is a master at so many styles. I'm so glad they could coexist in this tour because that was the absolute highlight for me. And nothing against Tony Kaye, one of the best keyboardist in rock, but Wakeman is a composer, a true pianist. Could never figure out my favorite lineup until this tour.
Rabin is not just a shredder he is MILES more talented than Howe ( who is not a bad player) , its just a pity that his talents were wasted on movie soundtracks rather than music. The man gifted 90125 to Yes.
These guys are the hardest working band ever, because the complexities they made through their music. Also, trying to get along for the many years. The longevity of the music, has definitely paid off. RRHOF 2017!
Yes is still one of my all time favorite bands. And Union is the best form of Yes ever. Sadly, Chris is no longer with us, but his legacy will live in infamy.
This is probably one of the very best concerts recorded by this great band: Yes. You feel the energy and the joy to play together again. Plus Anderson sound like Anderson, not like in other couple of concerts I had watched where he can't reach certain notes and even get crossed the beat/compass or time, whatever way you want to call it.. This is a great concert from this great band!!!
I enjoyed the Union concert.93 if I remember,Rick was with the page 3 model Nina who was at the concert and her name was announced over the tannoy.Again another enjoyable concert great musicianship
ouahhhhhhhhhhhh la claque!!!!! quel concert fabuleux mr squire merci pour tous ses bon moments tu ma fais vibrer avec ta basse pendant toutes ses années repose en paix tous les fans de yes vont te regretter
Chris plays that dirty bass like a lead guitarist. A master. Im glad to have seen in the year before he passed. I have some great images of him. RIP Chris
Heart of the Sunrise starts around 38:40 (well, that's Jon commenting, first)... and a signature motif of the song, played by CHRIS SQUIRE, starts around 39:30. RIP, Chris... enjoy the revelation; thanks for coming to the planet, helping us to "wake up and dream."
Wow...this is the best Yes Union footage I've seen. Doesn't appear to be the same content I've seen posted in several other places. Better video and audio. Thanks for posting.
It’s a shame they didn’t think to involve Peter Banks in this tour. How cool would it have been to have THE ORIGINAL lineup play some of the really ancient Yes songs…and have the rest of the guys kick in their parts or interpretations.
So many scream Emerson, may he rest in eternal peace...but Wakeman is a master guiness, and comical as well. I saw this Union tour and thought it was great. Talk about a super group.
Chris largely did the same schtick when I saw them (in front of a much smaller audience) in 1997; it was corny and over-the-top, but great. He knew exactly how to pull it off, and definitely had the best stage presence (sorry Jon). It also helped that they cranked his Rick up so you could feel the low notes in your chest!
Much respect to Steve Howe but Trevor Rabin is the one…..tbh if it weren’t for Trevor Rabin bringing owner of a lonely heart, stealing my dads copy of 90125 and listening to it over and over again, I would have never picked up an instrument…..Trevor Rabin is the reason why I play an instrument. Period
This will serve to remind EVERYONE of what the Masters can do. This is a routine invitation to the apprentices of what they can learn from.said masters and further accomplish once on their own but alas, it has one other much more sacred component: that the masters that once were CANNOT BE DUPLICATED. We have these "servants" to help add additional harmony. In no way is this the YES we once knew and loved...no. That YES has gone into a new existence. Ciao.
Esto si son los Yes y no lo que anda por ahí tocando con solo Steve Howe y unos amigos. Me gustaria que Steve no se marchara, el y Trevor hacian mas fuertes a Yes.
Trevor marco un despues no dejando mal a Yes con su trabajo en su estilo....howe siempre el sabio y trevor sigte.....dos guitarras dos estilos ...dos genios ...el resto idem ...son fantasticos ..YES SEÑORES!!!!!!@
Loved original line up of band, but with the change in members, I saw a decline in overall musicianship. Like YES and I will always . But the only time one should change a member is when they are sick or pass away ! Sorry Chris Squire, u r missed. Geddy Lee from my fav band was so excited to be part of Yes induction into Rock n Roll (pop) Hall of Fame. Thanks for all the creativity and a special thanks to Squire for influencing Geddy Lee . Long live PROG-ROCK.
Hi Tapio...Peter Banks claimed in a print interview that the band had arranged for him to join them onstage at a gig, but Howe pulled the rug out at the last minute. Also, Rabin has said that Howe accused him of "disrespecting" (I think that's the word he used) the chords on "Your Move".
Thanks for your reply. I knew about the incident at the Union event in London, however the claim of Banks "disrespecting" the chords in Your Move was totally new to me. Thanks for the info!
Geeze...all this whining about Howe blows my mind! Howe has been Yes' main guitarist for how many decades? The Beatles, Stones, etc, etc all had prior guitarists, drummers, who never played with their respective bands again!!!#&&& All this whiny bitch talk about Howe is for Bitches##!!!!&!!#
Крис Сквайр собрал оба состава вместе для единения и понимания, каждый играет в своей манере и стиле, я люблю стариков, кто-то новичков... Время развело их снова, но это был уникальный тур Единство неповторимой группы ЙЕС!!! Через 35 лет они опять двумя группами ездят по миру! После ухода Криса их не собрать, он был костяком группы... Придут молодые и подхватят флаг планеты ЙЕС, неповторимой и прекрасной!!!
So where does all this footage come from? The other Live vid (on RU-vid) of the "Union Tour" claims its a FULL concert and its less than 2hrs. :/. Is this all supplemental stuff on the same DVD? Thanks in advance :).
