Thank heavens for RU-vid. Otherwise we would never see rare obscure concert footage material surface like this. Thanks for sharing.

I still can't believe that as huge as Yes was in 1976 that there isn't a really good professionally shot concert video of them from that time with excellent picture and sound, especially when they had an unprecedented stage show with the lasers and 3 headed snake. Everyone in Yes' management and the record company must have been really high to not think to put forth the effort to do it.

I was at this concert!!! Best concert I've ever been to!! Long live Yes!!!!

Greatest live band I ever saw, around 35 shows since mid 70s, ever show great. Rip chris squire .

THIS IS THE LOST HOLY GRAIL OF YES THANK YOU So much for your fine work! I've waited 30 years to watch this! All blessings to you!

I was at the Philly JFK show dead center 15 yd line. Most amazing concert visually and sonically.Will never forget.

THANK YOU THANK YOU. U will never know how much I appreciate this.

Saw this @Cow Palace SF 1976. Was 15. Ya. Don’t know how this was captured with 1976 tech but, even with the fragmentation this truly captures the intensity and beauty I remember. Thank you!

When I hear the opening sounds of "Firebird Suite" I still get goosebumps. First saw them in '75. Last saw them in '13. Met the band... Chris and I chatted for over 5 minutes ! Talked about Jerry Miller (from Moby Grape). He's from Tacoma ! And plays here all the time. Chris said he'd have to come by sometime. But then... :-(

You deserve plaudits for doing this. Great job, tinged with sadness that we may never see any professionally shot footage of the tour. Such a waste given how stellar the shows were then.

I saw the Relayer tour in Liverpool UK back in 75 the same venue and year I saw Genesis Lamb tour. I'm looking forward to the day when technology will be able to tap into my recessed memories and relive the best year of my concert experience! 😉 btw after all these years they are still two of my favorite rock albums!

Thanks for doing this. I saw them at Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham, Alabama on June 2nd, 1976 and was never the same afterwards. Granted, I was an impressionable 18 year old kid, but I had never seen anything like that performance and have not since.

Yes at their absolute peak imo. I'm not knocking Going for the One but Relayer was their most radical and dynamic work. The people who witnessed them performing live at this time were part of something extraordinary. I'm sure if they released "Soon" as a single they'd have a number 1 hit in no time flat. There is a new generation out there who would lap it up.

I am from Germany. When I was 15 years old I had some problems in school - one morning I had to leave the classroom. So I went downtown to a record shop. I recognized a strange cover. Relayer. I took the headphones and listened to Sound Chaser. I had no idea what this beautiful strange noise meant ... but I was absolutely sure that this music was performed by ALIENS. It was completely different from what I used to listen to. Of course I was too young to really understand the complexity of that music. But by listening to Sound Chaser and The Gates of Delirium I entered a dream world ... the invention of AM ( Artificial Music ) ... I tried to imagine how they would look like on stage ... ... A year later I bought "Views" from Roger Dean. Now I was infected by the YES virus. The ignition point for my design career. I bought Yessongs and loved it - but Relayer remained ALIEN STUFF. In 1977 Going for the One was released and at my first listening I was disappointed. Later I experienced my first Yes live gig in Düsseldorf, my hometown. It was great to see my Prog heroes - but since my acoustic defloration through RELAYER - I didn´t want petting. I needed hotter stuff ... Of course Awaken and Parallels are really great tunes ( and today I Iove the record ) and for sure Wakeman is the keyboard wizard. Then I bought the next Roger Dean book - Magnetic Storm in 1980 - I had my first glimpse of the Crap Nebula Stage designed by Roger´s brother Martyn Dean. WOW. From that moment on I waited all my life to capture some live footage of the 1976 YES tour. All my li(v)fe. I think that the 1975 gig at QPR is not really a milestone. Despite the bad sound the whole environment doesn´t seem to reflect the class of YES music and stage design. I think in 2003 I saw the YES symphony tour ... and they performed THE GATES OF DELIRIUM. The orchestra, YES and Brislin did a good job. in the last 50 years I had the pleasure to experience serveral live gigs from YES, Pink Floyd, Genesis & ELP ... ... but the 1976 YES Crap Nebula Tour is probably the tour I really missed the most. This footage portraits a blurred dream. But at least I came a bit closer. Thank you.

I was at the JFK June 12, 1976 show, my 4th YES show, ( all Relayer era, also Dec-1974, July, 21,22, -1975 ) this was one tour they should have gone ALL out, and captured video/audio, for posterity! The JFK show had excellent weather and 150,000 - ( full capacity at the Philadelphia "horse shoe" style, with an identical seat row pitch angle, comparable to the Rose Bowl. The laser lighting with a full moon rising in the east during Close to the edge that night ... I have seen YES 58 more times since through 2014. That show, out of the 62 ... was # 1 on my personal list ...the best.

I have been waiting thirty eight YEARS to see this Yes concert in any way shape or form. Thank you for posting this.

Was there at RFK in Phily...with Gary Wright opening, Peter Frampton following and YES killing it into the night. Long hot day and great gig

Remember the JFK gig well. It was the first time I saw the use of green lasers in the sky. It got cold at night and they lit up some of the wood benches for heat.

Unbelievable, no one can imagine how much work it must have done ! ... Respect Hed !!!

I was at that concert in 76 at Colt Park in Hartford it was my first concert I was a yes fan then and I'm a yes fan now I've seen them many many many times since

I guess my wish will never come true (a DVD of the 1976 tour and especially the Philadelphia stop on this tour). That's OK. I have to thank my Lord And Savior that this footage has been posted...

So freaking powerful! Pure bliss

Great job, love this gig!!

Can't get enough of this genius . . . the highest music in history

this was my first concert , at the Aladin in las vegas ,mum an dad really loved it at bolboa stadium , wanted us to see it, reserved swatsat the aladin we can take thekids packed the kids went to las vegas see it again ,, mum bent down and said " do you like it ? ," yaah i new all the words fk they were my favorite , playin em everyday on my suitcase record player, liftin the speakers outa the hinges putin them next to my head :))))) an following the words never put the cover down , listened to everynote ,, :))) i couldnt believe was looking rt at them ,each one of em ,, i was ten , sister was eight

Man this is fantastic. I also lament the lack of professionally-shot film or video footage of Yes concerts from this period, but this footage is much better than nothing at all.

I was at the Philly show at JFK , the Roosevelt Stadium show (source of the music) and again in Pittsburgh later the same month. A good friend of mine shot some footage of the JFK show on a high end 8mm camera without sound which I believe he still has. He met up with Squire in the early 2000s and offered to show it to him. Squire seemed interested but never followed up with my friend. I have seen Yes over 50 times since the CTTE tour in '72 and this "Solos" tour was by far the best set of concerts they ever did. Amazing stage setup and incredible playing by the guys. I am so glad I got to experience these events back then. It was a golden age for progressive music.

THANK YOU! I have been wanting to see footage of that 1976 stage set up for eons. And then to see the laser light show from "RItual". This to me is classic.

Damn. Amazing sync job. Major kudos. I remember those days. Going to a Yes show was like an OBE to an astral realm. Steve was at the top of his game back then. They all were. Much gratitude for your work.

This is wonderful! lol Everyone looks like hippies, which I didn't remember. I saw them in Johnson City, Tenn on this tour. I forgot about the moving snake and Lights! It was fantastic. All concerts began with beautiful classical music back then. thank you for this, which can only have been a labor of love, patience, time and energy. ❤ ☮🕊

Wow, thanks for doing the work. I saw this tour 3 times and never thought I'd see footage of this!.. awesome!

OMG! 18:13. I have NEVER heard this played live! Oh I know what it is right away...from Jon Anderson's first solo album, "Olias Of Sunhillow" Wow. Classic.

an amazing show...lucky to see it twice

I was there and yet I wasn't ... I had just graduated high school and went there really early with my friends and it seems like everybody I grew up with and everybody I went to school with was there... it was crazy hot that day we were all smoked up.. cottonmouth pretty early on and I think that was the concert they wouldn't let us bring any drinks. .. it was so hot and they actually bought a water truck and it look like one of those Oil Trucks that delivers oil to your house in the winter except it had water in it and we were standing in line and some people were getting in fights in the line. People were getting feisty and I remember them throwing shit on stage at the poor Mummers guy. And some of them were booing at Gary Wright even though he did a beautiful job especially on Dreamweaver... Frampton came out and blew us away, really devastated us with "do you feel like we do " and to this day I just never will forget that and the ending and thank you. So now YES comes out and right after they start my girlfriend's husband says come on we got to go. I couldn't believe it and it was like I was hit by a thunderbolt... and I'm thinking go ? where.we going.?. but he drove us all there and now I didn't really see my brother and all the familiar faces anywhere and I didn't have much money on me... I certainly did not feel like taking 2 subways and the bus home ... or Subway and train and long uphill walk home . I really wanted to stay.. I just couldn't believe this and didn't have enough money for a cab.. I really felt like a hostage and so I got up with them and left.. and looked around and looked back at the stage and looked at everybody else .. and the light show and just couldn't believe this was happening ... and that was my Yes concert in Philly in 76 .

saw this tour in Cincy, '76.

Of 'all' the Shows that should have 'been' Filmed, this has to be Tops. So sad. I went to see them on this Tour in Little Rock, Arkansas, and 'they' Canceled at the Last Minute. I was in High School, then, and was 'Devastated', at the time, and a little 'miffed'. I just wish they had it on HIGH QUALITY FILM. Thanks for your 'Sharing'. ;)

Wow. That took some crazy work to sync that. I saw this tour in Las Vegas--one of the few indoor gigs that tour. It seated 11,000. Honestly, I recall that being one of the best rock gigs I've EVER been to. I've always wanted to see clips from that tour. this is the first time I've been able to. THANKS again.

Great JOB! I was there (in Philly)1976

This is Incredible. I saw the "74/'75 & '76 Yes Tours and this is just Fantastic. The Best! Bravo my friend.

Fantastic! Thank you........

I just saw Jon Anderson last night, didn't get much sleep. Amazed his voice has held up so well. But "Thank God" - as the new song goes - for old videos.

Roosevelt Stadium.....1976...NJ....awesome....my 1st....you never forget your 1st......

Patrick Moraz best Yes keyboard player.

Another brilliant sync job. Thank you Hed!

Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, NJ 1976. What a band far into future would sound like. The giant tug of war of their individual influences while machine-gunning you song after song. The energy of live Relayer had to be heard and felt to understand. Words can't really describe it. Top post ever on YT!

For the first time I'm able to at least catch glimpses of what that tour looked like!!!

WOW! I was THERE, Baby Blue...Cleveland August '76...What a freakin' show. I carried a head buzz for days after that one. Here's description I came up with to capture it: You know the Roadrunner cartoons? The Coyote gets smashed flat all the time?? Imagine him getting up after being flattened with the biggest, happiest buzz of his whole life. I had despaired YEARS ago of ever seeing any footage from '74 or '76. Now I can SHOW the wife-words couldn't do it. Hearty Thanks, Hed...WOW...

Great job, especially with what you had to work with. I saw this tour in Boston at the old garden, floor seats and at a distance where the head of the center snake(?) was right over us when they lowered it. I got to go because my best friend got these awesome tickets for him and his girl friend and they had a blow out at about 5PM on the day of the show. Probably the only time I ever liked her. he dumped her 20 or 30 blowouts later.

Great job at restoring. Love it. WOW!

You beat me to it! Well done. I had a few cues I was uncertain about so but now it's all in place. May upload my version.

Amazing job. Well done

Dude, if you did the Frankenstein editing that you said you did, this is a masterwork. Obviously video from the 70's sux but the sync makes it viewable and actually great. I was one of the 130,000 knuckleheads at JFK 6/12/76 and this is the same blur as I remember. Very nice work, Hed.

I liked Chris and Steve's sound during this era, Chris's Rick has a growling ripping sound without excessive flange like he seemed to later prefer.

I really admire your work Hed and thanks again for this!

The Crab Nebula set - the Holy Grail of Yesshows!!

I saw this show in Las Vegas, but they did not open with Siberian Katrue. They played the snippet of 'And You And I', and went right into "Sound Chaser'. What an incredible show it was and oh man was it loud! They were using the Clair Bros. wall of sound. Just in case anyone remembers it was at the old Aladdin Theater for the performing arts.

the stuff dreams are made of !! thanks for share and for the incredible work !!

Plaudits and kudos.... a FINE job indeed !!! Now if only I can find a '76 show where they have the clouds in the background during middle of "And You and I" ! I would pay dearly to see that again. I was up front and it filled my senses. And at 18:35... anyone hear a bit of "Olias of Sunhillow" ?

Masterful job.As Pesce would say..it brought me back to my yute! Saw them last month with my 15 year old son. Needed to see and hear Howe and Squire as he has gotten heavily into Yes. If you close your eyes this kid sounds like a young Anderson on certain songs. Always hoping they put differences aside, get Wakeman to come back and tour the small venues just one more time before they all go away.

thanks man, fantastic effort....this made my year!

Yes, at their absolute peak, happy to have been at the Binghamton show that tour.

Thanks again, Cat. I keep coming back to this.

First concert ever, 16yrs old

Certainly making a statement with this incredible lineup performance

holy moly is right! I was only 3 when this was performed, but wish I could have been there.....thank you SO much!

THE SOUND QUALITY IS FAIRLY GOOD ACTUALLY......

Cleveland and Pittsburg , never forget it , never !

Amazing band

Chris Squire is the best! I saw Yes in 1976 Relayer-Solos Tour and Partick Moraz who is on the video was their keyboardist then, they were excellent and the light show was the best I have ever seen to this day no close 2nd.

Nice job syncing the audio. I was there !!!! 🙂

holy moly! Thank you!

AMEN to that :D

OH MY GOD!!! 1976 crab nebula footage has finally surfaced! And you synched correct audio to the silent 8 millimeter film! Seriously, this is the Holy Grail of Yes video. Now, if only someone could unearth barnacle stage footage. Hed, until you did this, aside from that one minute nebula snippet elsewhere on You Tube, there's only that unverified "Yes Fable" or "Yes Lore" about that canadian film crew that shot an entire nebula show but it came out too dark & the reels are sitting in storage.

Steve Howe made the Yeasongs movie... Don't you think that he would have continued filming Yes as they evolved? Of course he did. Steve Howe has footage in his possession...he is ever the wisest of the group. I believe that he will release lots of classic Yes footage in good time. I want it now of course. That's my opinion and I welcome yours..

great sound

A few minutes ago I became curious if Rick Wakeman ever played Gates of Delirium. I decided to try ChatGPT on that question. It answered saying that Rick played in Relayer album. I pointed out the mistake, and ChatGPT apologized. I insisted, and it said that Rick played GoD on 2002 orchestral tour. I said "wrong again, Tom Brislin played on that tour". ChatGPT apologized and I asked again. Then ChatGPT said that Rick and Patrick Moraz played together on the Union tour in 1991. "Wrong again", I said, "the keyboardists at that time were Rick and Tony Kaye". Then finally ChatGPT gave up and acknowledged that it didn't have any information about Rick playing GoD. In summary, instead of just saying "I don't know", ChatGPT tried to fool me three times making up fake information.

I remember them frosh yr in HS - I loved them !!! Frosh yr was 1980 😂

When I saw them the first time-'74-I was only fifteen. I swear to God I was buzzed for days after the '76 show. I recently located negatives I took in '77 and '78. The Going For The One show I sat third row, center. It's a pain in the ass anymore trying to get prints from negatives. If you lemme know how to reach you, and when I finally get the prints, I'll send you one. Gotta share the wealth.....

Awesome !

saw this tour and people in the audience were experiencing orgasms if you listened to the crowd all you heard was everyone going wow in unison as they experienced the bliss of samadhi, union with the universe, and becoming one with all that is. Perhaps the single greatest non sexual moment of my life. If I could go back in time to any moment and take anyone with me this would be the time. I am still looking for the who. No pun intended. People actually made clothing in the style of YES for this.

Thank you :D

I was at the Milwaukee show!!!

Been searching to see live video from 76 concert in Philly I was at

gracias por compartirlo!

QUESTION TO THE UPLOADER: Is this part of the footage that Michele Marie Moore had captured on her video camera? I ask because according to what she had wrote years ago about Yes' 1976 Solo Tour, only three videos exist. One is B&W & only about 8 min long, perhaps taken in Minnesota. A second film, also 8 min, is said to exist - but in fact may only be a myth. The third is Michele Marie Moore's 8 mm full color reels taken during taken during the roadie set-up & concert in Dallas, Texas, August 6, 1976 - which what is what this appears to be? If it is, any idea where the rest of the footage is? I ask because she also mentions that she got backstage to record the roadies unloading equipment & assembling the stage. Something I'd love to see. So if this video is indeed from another source, kindly let me know. BTW, good job patching the audio to the video! I can only imagine how tedious is must had been.

Back in the mid-seventies YES had more capes than Lando Calrissian from Star Wars 😂

Hed, I have a question. How come this is all in 5/10/15 second bits of footage? Did the people who produced the films actually NOT film any sequences for longer than these short clips? If so, that's pretty weird that fans would make the effort to lug one of those 8mm film cameras (that were cumbersome) to a show and not film even one complete song from start to finish. On another note, this is a remarkable effort to synch all these video clips up to the audio - it's fantastic! In place of the bumblers who made Yes videos such as the pathetic Keys To Ascension DVD from 1996 where the audio is often a full second or more off from the video, they should have hired you. :)

12:46 Chris squire holy shit

nice mate cheers

only YES could stage the most innovative stage set of the mid 70s...and NEVER FILMED IT PROPERLY.

jfk phila what a lifetime memory

June 16, 1976. Wednesday night at Nassau Coliseum

Oh My God indeed.At LAST :D.I am hungry for more....There MUST BE footage buried in some vault somewhere.......

A bit frustrating to note when the cameraman thought " nah . Im not filming this " when he filmed the roadies hanging out . I will take it tho . Its history .

any full songs here ?

Howe improvised a lot of notes, he was such a diverse guitarist and played with such gusto back then. I wonder what the drum solo in 'Ritual ' would have been like if played by Near Peart? probably the other band members wouldn't have had to add extra percussion 😁

❤ Chris ❤

LUCKY YOU.........I was only16 then and living in the wrong country :(((
