Yessongs (1973) Part 7- Roundabout

This is the first Yes video to be released and considered to be one of the best live rock shows of all time. Close To The Edge and Wurm from Starship Trooper are the only recordings that are also on the live triple vinyl release.
This is Alan White's first recording with Yes, just after joining the band and learning the entire Yes catalog in three days.
Jon Anderson- Vocals
Steve Howe- Lead Guitar
Chris Squire- Bass, Vocals
Rick Wakeman- Keyboards
Alan White- Drums

It makes me very happy that things like these are preserved.

Phenomenal. Howe has to be one of the true 'greats' .

[fabriziodamato]

Playing Roundabout live at that speed.. Astonishing.

Chris Squire's Cape is hilarious, especially when he gives a little jump!

I believe awe is the only appropriate reaction to this band.

Great point. Yes formed in '68 and Queen's first live show was mid- '71. BUT, this clip from "Yessongs" is from their '72 tour (Dec. 15-16, 1972 - The Rainbow in London specifically), 15 months after Queen's "flowing satin" look hit England. I'm not saying for sure that Squire copped May's look, but if you look at the photos on early Yes releases up to and including 1971's "The Yes Album", Chris and boys are wearing clothes that are far less "drapey" than what they've got on here.

call it morning driving through the side in and out the valley

[BillLaBrie]

This was great. They’re going at it full abandon.

[dalis]

We can't prove Araki wasn't sitting with the audience listening.

[dreamsongho]

i just wondered...how he made that modern bass tone in 1973!!!

[MrFy]

White didn't learn the entire Yes catalog in three days. He learned the setlist for the upcoming tour.

[michaelbrenner]

Yes I'n their hey day ! Don't get any better !

[maxreichert]

Steve Howe is like if Jimmy Page was a technician player.

[Msoftpage]

Wow, you're quite a fan:) Thanks a lot.

[kimberlyblood]

Howe is the sexiest thing that ever walked the earth.

"Roundabout" a single from Yes's album "Fragile".

[GMEZA]

I don't get why they "corrected" the Jon's voice in the version from the yes channel, he sings very well but they made him sound like he has autotune
