Once again, they took me to so many places. These aren't just songs...they are more like monuments to me.. Thanks for watching! 🥰

In the Yessongs album version Steve takes that ending solo to the stratosphere. The recorded version here is pristine perfection. Thanks Brandon.

"Relayer" and "Close To Th Edge" are my favorite Yes-Albums. Chris Squire´s playing and the tone of his bass are absolute outstanding.

[lesblatnyak]

Covers every aspect of what it means to be YES brilliantly. 👑

[markdrechsler]

Propulsive music, Chris really shines on this. Do check out the live version from Yessongs.

[TheProgCorner]

There are no words to describe the greatness…

[BigC.]

Saw them at 14 in 1977, in “the round”. Unforgettable. They killed this number.

[kenwhelan]

Treat yourself to the live version on "Yessongs"

[heliotropezzz]

I seem to remember Jon Anderson saying some of the words were just chosen because they liked the sounds of them in combination.

[sagitt]

For almost nine minutes, I thought I had reached the inaccessible star!!! YES, an “absolute” musical experience... which one would readily believe was caused by geniuses from another world. Unique. Thanks.

[TigerMtnKing]

Listen to it another 100 times Brandon and it will become one of your favorites.🤩

If this hits you at the right time there really is no better tonic..and I found it here less than an hour after release at 11pm on a Friday Night..which for those of us of a certain age in the U.K. has a significant resonance. This song often opened YES in concert.. and as Tommy Vance said on episode 1 of The Friday Rock Show.. “You are in for a real treat tonight..” So true. Music of a lost age…rediscovered for a new appreciative audience.

Every time they start fading-out, I'm I want more of that rambling guitar. Then I go watch it live to (almost) get satisfied. So...by bye. Love your channel!

[michaelbaucom]

Per usual with Yes, I come for Chris Squire's bass(RIP), and stay for the rest...

[kmichaelp]

For musicianship there are just a few bands, groups, that hit it on the mark. The Beatles, King Crimson, ELP & Yes. Kudos to you for this.

Hey Brandon. Easily one of the top Yes songs out there. If the song was a stick of rock if you broke it, it would have the word QUALITY written all the way through it. All the best. Dave✅✅

[stevedotwood]

The ultimate Yes tune. Best of the album IMHO. Best of Yes

[wendellwiggins]

QUINTESSENTIAL YES WRAPPED NEATLY IN FUNK PACKAGING with complexity, energy, and brilliant. This one always gets my motor running at a 'HIGH' velocity. and never ever gets old! BUT I MUST DEBUNK THE FOLKLORE of the Khatru's meaning. Nowhere does it say that. When Jon was asked, he said "AS YOU WISH" as to say "WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO MEAN." People misinterpreted his answer. SB became their standard first song in Concert after the Firebird Suite theme intro.

[AirDOGGe]

The song they opened many tours with, including the Tourmator tour in 1978 I went to featuring songs from Tormato and Going For The One. the Khatru opener was always started with an excerpt from Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" as is heard on the YESSONGS live album.
