Best...band...ever. Thanks!! for the reaction.

[AirDOGGe]

SWEET! This is the track they opened many tour performances with, including 1978 when i saw them in person the first time. They did so on the live YESSONGS album too. One of the greatest bands ever.

"SOUTH SIDE OF THE SKY" also Hits all the Buttons...

[wendellwiggins]

So YES Newbie this is ONLY your 5th song by them. This rabbit hole goes DEEP "apart from any reality that you've ever seen or known" before. That's a lyric from one that you've yet to hear from the Title Track of this 3-song album MASTERPIECE called CLOSE TO THE EDGE. "Siberian Khatru" has always been one at the top of my list of YES gems! NOTE Do NOT veer off 70s YES music until you've listened to almost EVERY SONG. This was their peak decade. With each album they took huge progressive LEAPS from 69-79. Each album offers more than ANY OTHER BAND EVER! And that's saying a lot because 70's Pure Prog was incredibly innovative and diverse! YES were just the icing on that delicious cake! and WOW for a NOVICE you grasp the essence of the singer Jon Anderson's metaphoric symbolic poetic lyrics! far beyond what many fans are able to decipher! BRAVO!

Timeless Vibe .

Utterly brilliant .

Saw 'em twice in early to Mid '70's .

Didn't disappoint!

[markjohnson]

This song always made me feel like they are taking you around the world, back and forth through time, its wild. One of their most densely layered tracks as well. I am still hearing things I hadn't noticed before!

[TigerMtnKing]

YES!!! Nobody does it better than the greatest band there ever was or will ever be!🤩

[dolfinpt]

Stopping by for a review of my Fav Band! Voted the #1 Progressive Rock Band!
Some consider them “complicated”- mature music…
For me they have moved me, picked me up, taken me on journeys in music, rocked and made me smile.
The more you listen to anyone of their songs the more you’ll hear! And that doesn’t end..
Been fan for 50+ years and seen them live just as many times!❤
Dive into their library “You won’t be disappointed”😉
Beautiful uplifting music

I love viewing reactions to Yes from people new to them. Your reaction was excellent and you clearly understand the power of Yes from not knowing much. Bout them. Yes music is like classical music you have to listen to it which is alien to many people today

[RabbiSteve]

Great reaction to a stone-cold classic.Thank you for doing it and sharing it.

My first date I ever went on was to a concert with Yes opening for King Crimson and Procul Harum headlining. Felt bad for PH, good though they were, to have to follow, first FRAGILE era Yes and then ISLANDS era KC. I was not familiar with Yes at that point (1971) and was really going to see KC and PH. But walking in while they were already playing “Long Distance Runaround” was a magical experience. And while there was a joint being passed around later, at that moment I was stone-cold sober. But the music made me high.

Still my favorite prog band. This song opened up many of their later tours. And I have seen them many times since over the years: 1973, 1975, 1998, 2002, 2004, I think that was my last time. Each time was special.

Enjoyed your reaction JMBOY. I think you interpreted the lyrical parts that you did as Jon Anderson generally intended. You will read here that Jon says he SOMETIMES writes words because of how they sound and not so much for their meaning. It's easy to then conclude that a part we don't understand must have been one of those sections. I think, given enough time and brainpower MOST of Jon's lines have deeper meanings. Like the music itself, you can come back to many YES songs a hundred times and glean something new. The lyrics are in tune with that. YES encourages you to go deep. I remember once a fan was badgering Steve Howe, the guitar player about the meaning of the lyrics many years later while he was soloing in various clubs around the globe. Steve finally said, "What do they mean to YOU!" And really, that's the ticket. What they mean to you is what the song will help you discover about yourself... If you invest the time.

[lesblatnyak]

YES, the greatest show on earth. Nice reaction and bold attempt at Jon Anderson's words. 52 years I've been listening to those words, and your interpretation was as good as I've heard. Squire said that Jon doesn't know what it means

That was a Thomas Goff Harpsichord, built in the mid 20th century and was attended by Thomas himself in the studio, as he was still around. An acoustic keyboard from the age of Bach and Beethoven, or just after. Completely acoustic instrument used in chamber music. Played by the great Rick Wakeman the keyboard wizard. Check out morning has broken by Cat Stevens and space oddity and life on mars by David Bowie, those are his fingers

[bauertime]

Awaken off of Going for the one is considered their masterpiece by many people.

[stevedotwood]

Wow, what a great reaction. This tops all Yes tunes. I keep claiming this as my top favorite Yes song. Listen a few times more. I've listened 100 times throughout the years, and it still excites me. It never gets boring.

[PianoDentist]

I always wish that Steve Howe solo at the end would go on for a few more bars!

[AliasMark]

I have seen YES Live 3 times.... Amazing

[Mr.S]

These were young men in their early to mid-twenties. An era like none other. We used to trip on LSD in the forest with a stereo cassette tape machine and listen to this album.

[michaeldransfield]

I remember hearing Yes for the first time - it was like my ears were drinking out of a fire hose.

[AncientActivist]

It may seem strange that someone would like both Yes AND Tool, but the reason is the same. The musical complexity. 🎼 ❤
