This guy knows it!

John Anderson's voice is the voice of a storyteller but it contains such emotion and soul also. Wonderful to see your emotional reaction and connection with You and I, its utterly beautiful

The music of my youth, still loved and listened to today 50 years later, over the years I've met every member of this classic line up of the greatest prog rock band of all time, each and every one of them made time to speak to a fan Chris Squire was always the inspiration to learn to play the bass Finally got a Rickenbaker of my own You're in for an amazing journey going through the many incarnations of Yes

The magic of Close to the Edge is forever. Imagine, if you can, standing at the edge of the stage, right in the center, even resting your arms on the stage and hearing this for the first time! They had released Close to the Edge just a week before, so very few in the audience had heard this. I’m a born again Christian, have been a believer since I was a child, so I say this with the greatest honesty; seeing Yes live in 1972 was a life changing experience. I don’t compare it to my faith because man will always fail you. But Close to the Edge, with its symphonic arrangements was truly life changing for me and the 7 guys who traveled 5 hours to attend this concert.

Your reactions are great, YES follow YES rules. The result is confusion and sometimes beauty. Mainly beauty and beauty you have never imagined.

It is so satisfying to watch people discover and immediately come to love music that I have known and loved for 50 years. Her face takes on a euphoric glow as she listens. It's enchanting to see and is itself the perfect accompaniment to this musical gem.

It’s satisfying when they look at the lyrics and think WTF😂

I still get chills listening to this. I was 18 when I saw Yes in London in 1973.

They bring me on a journey of love and discovery in every song they do.On this one i remember my wife and i at a place called buttermilk falls.We were just ambling about the woods following the stream and there were chipmunks dancing around.I had some trail mix and bent down to one of the little creatures and he ran up to my hand ate a piece then rushed off in the fallen leaves.This scene played as they played

Sarah: Your reaction to this composition says so much about you. Much love. Peace

Hello Sarah, I enjoyed seeing your reaction to the yes songs, from my perspective a lot of their songs are designed to turn you inside out and in the end you are left with That wich ia always present In our heart….being…beauty and love The song ‘the gates of delirium is a long track and in the beginning it’s like your in a war zone, but it’s designed to lead you to peace thru ups and downs being turned inside out but the outcome is always peace,tranquility, beauty and that wich is real…in this world of confusion, you’ll be in for a ride but it is worth the journey, you won’t regret it, much love, chris

You get IT!!! Such musicianship in YES but such emotion from every song....it just swells you! So happy you found them as a young person who would not know about them!

I believe that when he sings "call home" he means for every single human on this planet, all races all everyone in your own heart x

My favorite song by YES

One of my all time favorite tunes. This song paints a Kaleidoscope of feelings!

It is a beautiful thing watching your first reactions to the Yes recordings from the album 'Close to the Edge'. These are the creations of the masters of progressive rock and often take many listens to understand. I have been listening to Yes for half a century and still am surprised. I hope you continue to find value in their craft.

Yes is my favorite prog rock band. I also discovered them as a teenager; this song, And You And I, is one of my top three from them, along with Starship Trooper and Close To The Edge. Great reaction, Sarah!

You are clearly sensitive and musically aware enough to appreciate this piece. You need more YES!!

So many times listening to YES back in the day. Straight, stoned, and otherwise. When the album came out we played the grooves off of it. Only saw them once in concert but it was EPIC. I think every measure of this song and so many others by YES are permanently etched into my brain. Not a problem. Enjoy.

tell us the other four bands

It was a lot of fun watching you discover this music, Sarah. A lot of Yes music is like that, especially from their most inspired period, from 1971 to 1977, when they turned out six amazing albums in rapid fashion. The lyrics, yes, are often metaphorical and combine with the music to take you out of your normal state of consciousness into higher worlds. A lot of people insist they are nonsense lyrics but not to me. They invoke images which have meaning in themselves and take you out of your normal way of thinking. If you explore more of their music from that period I'm sure you will be surprised at how different one thing is from another, but equally brilliant and often awe inspiring.

Yes, it's a beautiful emotional piece. The whole album is great.

I have a few Yes albums that went unplayed for 40-50 years , they are now being spun on the TT again

When I bought this album in 1973 there were no lyric sheet...we all had to wing it! In 2004 this was one of the album's I took out into the Sahara with me on an MP3...where no-one could tell me that I could not sing.

Beautiful.....

The greatest 5 musicians to come together, to create (arguably) the greatest album ever! Now you HAVE to listen to the last song on the album..."Siberian Khatru". And, when you get the chance, listen to this album from beginning to end...as it was meant to be. Their 2 album set "Tales from Topographic Oceans" is an absolute masterpiece also. Give it a try! Thanks Sarah...love your reactions!

A Pure and singular Love

Great song, great reaction!

been watching some yes and got caught up in younger people reacting you made my day , the way it can still ,after all these years, have such an effect... it still wells me up realise that classical music does the same but this is somehow different being contemporary that is so often fleeting

This is my favorite song of theirs ❤️

Yes is not only a journey; it is an investment. And the returns are immeasurable. Without even mentioning countless solo projects, under the YES brand, there are like 300 songs! ALL GOOD, most genial, often spiritual :)

Classically trained musicians with multiple vocalists going off in experimentat jazz directions that were beyond me back in the day - not your mainstream rock, and I saw them several years ago with their faithful fan following there. At that time they were good enough to have two Yes bands, one playing North America, the other playing in Europe. Massive talents.

I am just going to say this…..You have a fan for Life because you get YES. YES like other progressive groups or even Rock groups….like The Who….The Beatles…..Led Zeppelin……Steely Dan…….Supertramp…..The Moody Blues…..Deep Purple…….Rush…Pink Floyd……is a High Tier Music group……..who require a High IQ in music to appreciate and really get their music contributions. These guys are the gods of Rock n' Roll…….they specialize in perfecting their sounds and creating music that is not average type of music. People that are really into Jazz or Classical or Opera music have high IQ's in music because it requires one to really listen how an instrument is being played to create certain sounds or how a vocalist is singing a melody to cause an emotional effect. Like Jazz or Classical music one must hear the tones of the way music is being delivered to the ear to understand the meaning or see the story that is being expressed. This is the description of a Hight IQ in music which can understand and appreciate Top Tier Music because it is "Art." You appreciate and get the Art of YES!!!! And you have a fan for Life!!!!

This song is fire 🔥

Dark room. Headphones. Any YES song. It is transformative.

Along with Pink Floyd, Genesis, and ELP, Yes was one of my favorite bands growing up. Like so many progressive-rock bands, they experimented with sound and kept the musicianship at a high level. Just about anything they released from their first six albums is gold. (I confess that many find the album Tales from Topographic Oceans hard to listen to, and I did for a number of years; but it is remarkable for its unapologetic virtuosity.) "Close to the Edge" itself is a great song, as are "Roundabout" (their first big hit, I think) and "Yours Is No Disgrace." Their first two albums are often forgotten or overlooked, but "Looking Around" and "Sweet Dreams" are worth listening too. Loved seeing you discover this brilliant band! Thank you again for what you do!

. Am 63, I saw YES concert Detroit 1976 .. THIS SONG ALWAYS MAKES ME CRY! .

Yes. You can still discover a whole Yes universe. And you are already close to it, close to the edge. ^^ Go on this adventure. Discover Wonderous Stories, Awaken and so much more... By the way, I saw Yes live in 1984 in San Francisco. @ Flo Maleur: Fun Fact: Yessongs was also my first Yes album.

Well done Sarah! You are a Yes lover! That song is fifty yrs old and its beautiful. Enjoy your journey to the altar of Yes.

Rush studied Yes so to speak and that's why Rush is right there with Yes in prog rock history.✌️💜🎶

Yes is awesome. When I played their records when I was a teen in the 70's, my WWII generation mother commented "these boys seem like they actually went to school and studied their music". You should check out some of the live version of this piece. Wow is right!

More YES!

I first heard that in 1972 I think when I was a teenager. It had the same affect then and in fact still does. Once you have been moved by Yes and all their 70’s stuff nothing is quite the same again musically 👏👏❤️

If you enjoyed this, I have good news. There is still a lot to discover from this music. My first Yes album (it was a couple of decades ago; I was 13 or 14) was the triple live album YESSONGS. (I highly recommend it). It might sound a bit pathetic, but this music has really changed and shaped my life a bit. On occasion you may listen to "I've Seen All Good People" or "Heart Of The Sunrise" from the YESSONGS album.

@@your_local_dummy4137 Of course you can see it that way too. My first Yes album was Yessongs. When I later listened to the studio albums, (the recording quality is much better, Anderson can sing several voices with himself and other "gimmicks" that only work in the studio ...) I was still "missing something" in many places on these recordings. Partly because the live songs have been further developed by the arrangement, partly because the songs are played with more power and passion.

Yes does it on purpose to build many intense moments, just to give you THEIR way of very delicate music. You experienced it also with Awaken or Close to the edge. That is Yes. Also they force you to follow them in THEIR geniuses, to practice yours, to make evolve yours. :)

Yes in the '70s had the ability to take their listeners on a journey. The more you listen to them the more you'll hear in their music in the more you appreciate their it's wonderful to see young people discovering this music I first heard it long ago when I was 15 stoned at a party. I subscribe to your channel keep up the good work Sarah.

My favorite band. Such talent and magnificent song writing

I found my self....we found us...love..thanks your emotions

YES just had the ability to construct beauty...this is one of their "minor" epics, but is just so wonderful, and peaceful, and thoughtful...it carries you along...sweeps you up and deposits you, carefully and safely at the end of one of Life's little voyages! The starkness and cleanness of some of the guitar and keyboard work is...angelic? Heavenly? A living organism, growing and swirling. Love this band - and love that young people are discovering it! (As others have mentioned!)

You found YES. Congratulations! Their music will take you to places you never imagined existed.

GREAT!! Powerful, energetic, perfec music!!

Rivers, endless seas, sky, coins and crosses, dream, mother earth, And You and I…..

As time has passed, I appreciate even more, the music, and mood, of those times, good reaction!

Yourself a favor and don't be concerned with the meaning of the lyrics. They are designed to compliment the tonal soundscape "phonically" as a musical instrument played by the Vocalist. In a good way, Something in you will never be the same now. Welcome to the YES family . . . . .

Yes,was my favorite band since about 1975.

Best collection of musicians ever compiled. There were 19 official members of Yes and they were all brilliant!

Nice reaction. I'm so glad you liked your first time listening to them. Yes were formed in 1968 by Jon Anderson & Chris Squire.Their first album, titled YES was released in '69. This song, "And You and I" was off their fifth studio album CLOSE TO THE EDGE. They are probably the best progressive rock band ever, imo. They always seem to have a positive attitude in their music.

Hi Sarah, lovely reaction, I fell in love with Yes after listening to this song 47 years ago, I'm sure I've played it over a thousand times since and love it even more now then ever. They are a very special group and arguably the greatest progressive rock band of all time. If I could think of one word to describe what they're all about it would be "Love". So much more wonderful Yes music for you to explore, may I recommend for starters "Starship Trooper", "Roundabout", "Turn of the century" and "Wonderous Stories" enjoy the journey, Cheers

The lyrics are not about the end my friend, they are about a spiritual beginning. Love this. The more you listen to it the more you'll love it and its' hidden jewels of knowledge.

This was my go to for losing myself in music. I think it is both a love song and a tone poem of words that sound great. So much of the imagery in the lyrics is impossible and surreal. It ends in an up-note from which I've carried a positivity after a listen. So glad you enjoyed this beautiful piece. I'm. going to recommend Your Move/I've Seen All Good People from the Yes Album for continued Yes music.

It is a joy to watch your face as you listen to this music. I like that you just listen and don't stop the music several times as some other reaction people do. With the Close To The Edge album by Yes you have started at the apex of this band's music ( there are several other great albums by them as well ) but good for you and best wishes that you may hear many of their other magnificent tunes. They are rather special.

Sorry it's my third time watching this video. I'll go far as that .thanks to the hostess

This song You and I is great. But that album Close to the Edge is best prog rock album ever made. The whole album is a true work of art and continues to take people on adventures to another part of the universe. Yes is such a special and great band for many. Their music is so very good and life changing. So many great albums from the 70's. I would start with the Yes Album and work forwards all the way to Going for the one. Some of the best music you will ever hear. Close to the Edge is a must listen. Most likely you looked at the length of the song and have doubts. But I can tell you that most who listen to Close to Edge find it is the shortest 18 mins 42 secs ever and wish it was longer. That is how great it is.
