Yes Rehearsals 90125 Tour w/Casey Young on Keys

Satisfying the myth of a 2nd keyboardist....this example from Forest Hills, NY shows Casey Young performing Vocoder parts as well as additional keys with a full rig offstage.

Best thing about this is Chris' sunglasses 😄

"on drums Mr Alan White....It's great to be with you tonight!"

Those guys were so great. I'd been a YES fan since the 70s, and they hung in there, doing some great records, for such a long time. RIP, Chris and Alan. Have fun playing with Jimi!

Chris!!! I do love to see him like this. Just casual. Not the ‘rockstar’. RIP, love. We miss you.

This was a soundcheck at the Forest Hills Tennis Center on August 29, 1984. The whole video is about an hour and a half and has interviews with the band members, soundcheck clips and some of the actual concert that night.

I saw this tour 4x, incredible every time!

[petermastronardi]

That's one of the best videos I've seen by YES and I've seen them live 45 times.

Just brilliant stuff. I loved the tour.

Thanks for this beautiful back in time, if only there was one for the Drama Tour period

[nonsuch]

Even Rick Wakeman had a supplemental keyboard player at the ABWH shows. He allowed him to be on-stage though.

This is great - I've not seen this before.... thanks for posting

[smartfart]

This was amazing, would love to see more.

The studio albums never made justice to the power of yes in live concerts!

[andrewmiller]

"Mr Christopher Squire!" Jesus, I miss him!

Not really a myth at all. It's well documented that Casey Young played some additional keyboards live, especially on Hold On. that very obvious edits at 3:36 and at 4:07 are confusing - its really unclear what we are seeing - Casey Young appears to be edited in to this clip.

[FancyTailAquatics]

I find it more amazing, us keyboard players need backup. Keep in mind we usually do 3-7 tracks a tune. There were at least 3-4 tracks here.

[XanAxDdu]

thank you so much for upload this, deep feeling

Technology wasn't what it is now, the sounds used on 90125 were so complex, a second keyboard player was needed to fatten up the sound, amazing, rare footage.

Another interesting story is the fact that when 90125 was almost finished Tony Kaye quit and the band had to scramble to get a new keyboard player and they ended up asking Eddie Jobson (Roxy Music / U.K.) ... and he lasted not very long. He IS in the Owner Of The Lonely Heart video but only really in one shot because by the time the video was shot (but not edited yet) he also quit, so they cut him out of the video. There is an official band photo announcing him by the way. So Yes Management scrambled again and eventually persuaded Tony Kaye to come back (my guess is securing a very nice paycheck) in order to do the tour.
