Long Distance Runaround should always be heard together with The Fish as one continuous piece.

"Not long enough" is rarely if ever heard when listening to YES. This flows right into The Fish seemlessly also played together in concert.

The bass in all Yes' songs is killer.... Geddy Lee inducted Yes into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and he credits Chris Squire as his influence so no wonder Rush sound like YES... Not the other way round.... PLEASE do Roundabout next... It's a stunner.

RUSH sounds NOTHING like YES. They wish in their best moment to lick the toes of YES. YES were pure progressive.Rush were borderline hardrock who dabbled in prog.

@@wendellwiggins3776 Rush never claimed to be a progressive rock band, Geddy has on many occasions given credit to Yes as being one of his major influences. Chris and Geddy were two of my main influences on Bass. I saw them both back in the seventies and actually had a chance to speak with Chris after a show in Virginia. It always tweaks my last nerve when people pit one musician or band against another. Simply because one group is great doesn’t make another suck.

I was really disappointed that Geddy didn't use his Rickenbacker in honor of Chris (he did a great job, though, with the ugly green Strat).
Should have continued into the Fish. Usually played together.
Yes is legendary. And they remind you of Rush for a reason, Yes was a huge inspiration for Rush. Some more songs of theirs to look into would be Heart of the Sunrise, South Side of the Sky, and probably their most well known song, Roundabout. All quite lengthier than this one, and they have so many other great songs from a long career, it's a rabbit hole for sure! Edit: I should also add, in regards to Yes and Rush, Geddy Lee actually played the bass for Roundabout when Yes got inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame, since Chris Squire had passed away prior. That is also worth a listen.
This album was when YES became one of the untouchable supergroups of that decade. They had just brought in a new band member, Rick Wakeman, who just happened to be one of, if not THE, most formidable keyboardist alive, (and still is). So here in 1972, they had five of the top virtuoso musicians, each one assertive and very skilled, and 'Fragile' was the result. There are three long epic tracks in addition to the one you just heard that were collaborarative : Roundabout, South Side of the Sky and Heart of the Sunrise. But between these long, fully arranged epics, they decided that because each of them had strong ideas , to have five tracks that were concieved and realized by each member individually. The song we just heard segways into 'The Fish', Chris Squire's astounding groove-based creation which was essentially achieved with only bass guitar tracks stacked up in the mix over that hypnotic 7/4 figure on the drums. Then the vocal harmonies come weeping down singing, 'Schindeleria Pramataeus Schindeleria Pramataeus... It is a truly sublime moment on the record, and one of my favorite deep YES tracks. The next album would be 'Close to the Edge, the prog rock cornerstone of the 70s..
This song bleeds into the next like it’s the same tune, without it it’s incomplete Keep that album going in order
This song makes me happy and Jon Anderson's voice just takes me to another place.
"Roundabout", also off the album "Fragile", is their best-known song from this period. It's not their best song (though it is a great song), but it's pretty good intro into what they're about. I recommend doing "Roundabout" next, then "Heart of the Sunrise." After that, do the songs from "The Yes Album", which was the precursor to "Fragile". Then you'll be ready for "Close to the Edge."

Yes, Roundabout and Heart of the Sunrise are the two obvious choices to do next.
The happiness that YES brings to your heart is replicated throughout YES’s whole catalog, YES is not a one hit wonder, YES Is a 100+ masterpiece wonder. YES IS BEST!!!
One of my favorite Yes songs...such a frigging killer bass line by Chris Squire, and he always used a plectrum...rest in peace.
The scary part is that how they sound on their album is how they sound in concert. Everyone of the musicians and singers were GOATS! On stage there was no flash they were all business, but oh was that business genius.
This is your introduction into Yes. The song "Long Distance" runs into the song "The Fish." You must play the songs together. The whole album "Fragile" is a concept album.....Most of the songs on this album blends into another. Start at the beginning.
"Heart of the Sunrise" by Yes is one of my all time favorite songs.
The song is continuous into the next track which should have never been split apart imho. If this happens just go on to the next track, Yes put names to different movements within the same song. Yes really doesn’t have 3 minute songs, that’s a clue. . “Starship trooper” in its entirety is one of their best from the previous album.
Yes are an English progressive rock band formed in London in 1968. The band has undergone numerous line-up changes throughout its history, up to nineteen musicians have been full-time members. They have had a lot of great songs such as "Roundabout", "Owner Of A Lonely Heart", "Going For The One", "Masquerade", "Yours Is No Disgrace", "Heart Of The Sunrise", "The Gates Of Delirium", "And You & I", "Starship Trooper", "Close To The Edge", "I've Seen All Good People" etc.
If you were to have "fallen off" the "cliff hanger" at the end of the song, you would have landed into an amazing example of Chris Squire's bass playing in an expansive instrumental.
Every Yes album from the 1970s is worthy of your time. You will not be bored! A couple of them are lengthy, and require the listener to be focused on nothing else, but damn, what a band! They don't make new music like this anymore.
YES is a huge influence on Geddy Lee and RUSH. Roundabout or I've Seen All Good People would be good next.
It was a cliffhanger because of how the album is constructed. This song runs directly into The Fish. The album is interspersed with soloish pieces. ( Mood For a Day.. Howe) ( Cans and Brahms.. Wakeman) (Fish....Squire/ Bruford) and ( We Have Heaven.. Anderson and vocals). This song was released as the B side of Roundabout. That is " The Rickenbacker" you hear. To the extent it reminds you of Rush, they grew up with this as boys.
My favorite Yes song is And You And I,check it out,it builds,and twists,and turns,and drops,and soars! YES are the original masters!
The reason for the anticipatory nature (as you identified it) of this song is because it is really a gateway to the following track, 'The Fish.' And Yes is Geddy Lee's all time favorite band, which explains the influence on Rush.
R.I.P. Alan White.😭💔🥁⚘😎
I have always listened to this and the Fish together and the song is much more complete
20 times live. I believe the Union tour was the best group of musicians on one stage I ever saw.
Yes - roundabout…..it has everything you can hope for in a song. Incredible.
Now you’re ready for Roundabout and I’ve Seen All Good People/Your Move🎶😊
I saw Yes at the Hollywood Bowl mid-70s. Start to finish epic!
YES is one of the greatest bands ever. Thanks for sharing.
If you like bass".... Now give your ears a treat,, Heart of the Sunrise". Wow !!!
Happy that you noticed the bass of one of Rock's finest bass guitarists! I would put Chris Squire right next to Paul McCartney, John Entwistle and Michael Rutherford in that Pantheon.
Thanks for doing this, in 1974, i was 14 years old,, going crazy,and this was the first album i really sank into. South side of the sky. That one really did it for me. Your reaction, really pleases me,, validates my long time opinions.
My first favorite Yes song, 38 years ago ❤
You need to listen to this ENTIRE album,!
If you haven't heard Yes you are in for a world of amazingness. Also great songs from this album are South Side of the Sky, Heart of the Sunrise and Roundabout (of course).
Rest in peace,drummer Alan White.😔
GREAT SONG ALBUM! Yes was a big influence on Rush. :-)
I’ve been watching your reaction videos all day! Rush, Yes, Van Halen, Stevie Wonder - I just love, live your channel - almost as much as the music, almost 😉🫶

Music I grew up with. Such a classic. Love it!
Yes is simply the greatest prog band of all time. Yes Album through Relayer is the canon.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
Jon can sound very gritty or as angelic as Mitch Grassi. Turn of the Century and Your Wondrous Stories are among my favorite vocals. Chris Squire (bassist) and Alan White (second drummer) have passed away, but Jon is currently releasing new material and doing live gigs in his mid 70s.
Oh what fun you will have!!!
When I was in high school our field trip bus driver played the 90125 album. It was a 2-1/2 hour trip one way. I've been a Yes fan ever since. Saw them in concert 'in the round' and it was amazing.
Roundabout needs to be your next Yes video. You can either listen to the original or take a listen to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Induction with that song being played by Rush's Geddy Lee. I'd go with the second option since you like Rush too. Get the best of both worlds. Geddy totally kills on Bass during that live performance!
Try the song Close to the Edge. You will be astounded.
This is a bassist's song, I love this song for the bass alone. One of my favorites and always will be.
You can't go wrong with YES. Period. Also - you should have combined this with "The Fish" - they're ALWAYS played together.
It's good you've learned already that *_repeated listenings_* of YES compositions is an absolute must. YES packed so much complexity into their compositions...every musician makes his contributions, adding innovative/experimental layers, but instead of just being a bunch of noise, they blended it all together in an extremely pleasing way. That complexity is why you can listen to their creations dozens of times & still hear something you missed before. THE *key* to YES' amazing musical creations was the bassist, Chris Squire, who absolutely dominated their early sound with his Industrial-Melodic inspirations. The rest of the band realized how important it was that they build their sound around Chris' lead. IMO, beginning with The Yes Album, the band could have appropriately marketed themselves as "YES: featuring Chris Squire on bass." That's how masterfully he dominated their sound during their Classic Period. He not only got this amazing growl out of his instrument, but he added a lot of melody to their songs, even while sustaining the bottom-end groove. I think Squire's bass playing is the single most appealing thing I always loved about YES as a Progressive Rock band, and there was _a lot_ to like about all of the tremendous contributions made by the other musicians in the band. It made them stand out in the musical universe. On top of all that complexity was YES' emphasis on melody & vocal harmonies, an important part of their creations that appealed to the ears of pop music fans. Jon Anderson's voice was unique, but it was accentuated by Chris Squire's high range harmonies blended in. Jazz drummer Bill Bruford's experimental approach perfectly complimented Squire's dominating bass lines. Together, they formed Progressive Rock's best "Rhythm Section" if you can call it that. I recommend that you continue to sample YES' music from the 3 albums of their Classic Period: *The Yes Album, Fragile, & Close To The Edge.* After you've listened to those, you'll also want to check out a cover tune called *America* that was essentially a concert jam they'd been playing at around the same time as the classic studio albums. You have no idea how much pleasure you're going to get from listening to YES' catalog of amazing music. Let me recommend *Yours Is No Disgrace* from The Yes Album as your next YES adventure... :)
You have just been introduced to the best rock band....ever. Period.
It runs into a Chris Squire (bassist) composition called The Fish. Dude. You gotta listen to the whole album. Then go back to The Yes Album. Then You'll be ready for, seriously, the best prog album ever, Close to the Edge. You're probably getting Rush vibes because Yes we're an absolutely HUGE influence. In fact, when Yes we're inducted into the hall of fame, Chris had passed and Geddy Lee played his epic bass part on Roundabout (the first track on this album). After Close to the Edge, you'll be ready for Relayer, and Going for the One, including my all time favorite song of any genre, any time - Awaken.
check out Yes - owner of a lonely heart, or - shoot high aim low. also Jon Anderson from Yes performed with the legendary Vangelis who passed 8 days ago, he sung State of independence by jon and vangelis, or I'll find my way home

Shoot high aim Low is my favorite Yes song….
Yes' drummer, Alan White just passed at 72, 5/26. R.I.P.
I first heard Yes on the radio in 1971. I think it was a short version of Your Move. Anyway, I had already heard ELP's Lucky Man and followed the Moody Blues as they developed their symphonic sound, so I already liked the developing Prog Rock sound. But I fell madly in love with Yes. I still have and listen to everything they have ever released. For me The Beatles, will always be #1, but Yes and PTX are my top 2 and 3 all-time favorite groups
The best part of this album is all of Side one and all of side two. The first time I met Chris Squire, we shook hands and I couldn’t believe how big his hands were. I said “ Thanks for not crushing my hand “. We both laughed and it became an ongoing joke. R.I.P. Chris.. We all miss you. Great reaction bro 👍
Yes is a great band!
Oh boy Salvo. This is a another huge 🐇 🕳 to go down bro. Nice man. Rock on!!¡
YES is simply the best!!! You can listen to a hundred GREAT YES Songs if you dare, lol.
It segues into another piece!
Yes has been a band in flux - "Fragile" was their 4th studio album, at this point Rick Wakeman (keys) and Steve Howe (guitars) were not original members - Peter Banks (guitars) played on their first 2 albums, and Tony Kaye (keys) played on their first 3 albums. Bill Bruford is on drums - to be replaced by Alan White before "Tales from Topographic Oceans" (6th studio album). Jon Anderson (vocals) sang on all the Yes albums until "Drama" (10th), but then returned for "90125" (11th). Chris Squire (bass), who passed away in 2015, played on all Yes albums until their 2021 "The Quest" (22nd). Geddy Lee of Rush was heavily influenced by Yes and Chris Squire, including Geddy's choice to play a Rickenbacker 4001 bass until switching in the mid-80s. Geddy and Alex Lifeson inducted Yes into the RRHOF, and Geddy played bass with Yes that night in tribute to Chris Squire who had already passed.

RIP Alan White (June 14, 1949 - May 26, 2022)
Unbelievable tune. Loved it for four decades.
There's something magical about this song that makes it unique. I'm so glad I bought this as a single when it came out when I was around 8 or 9 years old. I have a ton of playlists of music that I'm also into and it's very much unlike yes but it's still excellent.
This will be fun!
"Listen to the bass" LoL I love watching people listen to Yes for the first time
yoooo, what! Yes reactions!? I'm totally here for this. This is where my prog rock obsession began
so sad that Alan the long time drummer died yesterday....you aint heard nothin yet...it gets even better
Start at the beginning....Astral Traveler -I See You-Every Little thing...Then Starship Trooper-Perpetual Change-Yours Is No Disgrace...After that graduation period...South Side of the Sky...then a top 5 Yes song...Heart of the Sunrise... By then you are in the YES universe.
Fragile. it was a phase of unbridled musical creativity rarely surpassed. Enjoyed your reaction dude. 😊 and yes- Rush followed yes dear chap.(and I loved them too)
All were brilliant but that bass was killer. RIP Mr Squire
As others have said, you shouldn't have stopped before The Fish. It's kind of the same song.
Ya gotta love those Rickenbacker 4001s!!
You will love Yes, very very unique, amazing, super creative, and all virtuoso musicians. Do Roundabout next from the same album, then the rest of this album, then go back to the album before this and check out Starship Trooper and Yours Is No Disgrace (or better yet, the live in concert videos, but do the later ones, not the one from around 72 cause it's edited badly). Then do the whole Close To The Edge album, or just skip ahead to it if you want your mind blown.
Chris Squire is one of the greats on bass..You gotta check out starship trooper and siberian khatru live from yessongs..amazing to say the least..I saw them live in '78 and will never forget that show!!
Listen to the Fish with it. It is like the ending of Long Distance Runaround. I always listen to both together.
A lot of Yes songs blend into the next song. Long Distance Runaround immediately goes into an instrumental entitled "The Fish", but because you're only listening to one track, it cuts off at the transition
Welcome to the adventurous world of progressive rock. Yes are certainly among the founding fathers of this genre, and definitely the longest surviving. Yes doesn't remind you of Rush, though. Rush reminds you of Yes. They were a huge influence on the legendary Canadian trio! I do have a couple recommendations...I haven't yet read the other comments, so I apologize if I duplicate suggestions. Roundabout, for certain, is a great gateway Yes tune. Beyond that, Heart of the Sunrise... Sound Chaser(brace yourself for this one)... and South Side Of The Sky are all fantastic. A good order of progressive rock bands chronologically would be: Yes Rush Dream Theater(start with "Pull Me Under..." the 8+ minute version. ) I enjoyed your reaction. Sincerely, A guitarist and longtime progressive rock fan Bill
Have you picked up that the band is playing in the time sig of 4/4 and Bill Bruford is in 5/4. Beat is always on the first beat of the measure. Then it does an inversion in reverse! Incredible musicians.
RIP to Alan White. A great drummer and a great loss to music today
This should be listened with the following piece on the album, which is The Fish, a tune that is a bass instrumental. Suquire is the bass player that influenced Geddy Lee…
Fantastic
I would suggest “Leavin” as your next Yes song
I was waiting for the next song. Lol It is like when you only did part of 2112. As others have mentioned Yes was a huge influence on Rush. Speaking of 2112 you need to react to the whole song. Prog Rock was rock's answer to classical music Bach, Mozart etc. Songs were done in movements. When music was recorded on albums the whole or part of an album could be a concept especially with prog rock. I am suggesting Roundabout by Yes and Natural Science by Rush.
You have to listen to "the fish" after long distance, it is incomplete without each other
Rush was influenced by Yes as well as Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Cream, and Jimi Hendrix. I believe you would fully appreciate The Heart of the Sunrise and Roundabout. So please check them out next.
You should check out Jon and Vangelis: The Friends of Mr. Cairo. Vangelis just passed away this week. Mostly noted for music from Chariots of Fire. Jon Anderson is the lead singer from Yes. You might like it.
You need to listen to “YES” lead singer, Jon Anderson’s song, “Friends Of Mr. Cairo”. It is such a unique and wonderful song.
you can shred all day as fast as you want ... but when chris slides his finger from one note to another we get an " oooohhhh...!" thats class and then at 5:00 you said it reminded you of rush and i had to go lie down as i nearly spat out perfectly good beer ...man i laughed ... internally i was considering sending you a flak jacket ...in the nicest way all the same it was a joy to watch your reaction ...reminds me of school days when we would have a listening bag with LP's and take great delight in introducing each other to our new discoveries , inevitably it was weaponised as a social elitism but that was to be expected this is much better ... you get to hear some frankly jaw dropping stuff written by people with talent and all the hate happens in the comments rather than at your face !!!
Chris Squire was one of the few bass players who used a pick. It is part of his signature sound. Howe(guitar) has his own tweak to his sound too. I believe that is Bill Buford on skins (one of progressive's top drummers) Jon Anderson vocals are very much in the range of Geddy Lee's (Squire's bass was inspirational to him). I am not sure as to the keyboards but others will fill you in. Their #1 .... Close To The Edge The song itself and the album. Later work ... Awakening Enjoy the ride ....
Redo as Long Distance Runaround/The Fish to get that itch scratched.
you can rewind and play it over as many times as you want to we will listen true fans will have no gripe with extended play and listen time {:-) PAV UK
YES are well known for their long masterpieces. I know you like keyboards you must listen to Awaken from Going For The One. The whole album is amazing! In fact all Yes albums take you on a journey!
You need to listen to The Fish, this is a continuation of Long Distance Runaround - this gives you the continuation you felt should be there. Yes has lots of material that's really worth a close listen.
The Fish is the second part of this song...they have to be played together. Not sure why they are separated on the CD and on services like Pandora.
Listen to the whole album, you will get what you wanted
I would go back to The Yes Album to continue your journey. Start at Yours is No Disgrace and anything else on the album is great. Then back to Fragile and Roundabout and anything else on that album is also great. By then you'll be ready for Close to the Edge. After that...anywhere you want to go down the Yes rabbit hole.
Need a live version moving on to the Fish.
Welcome toYes
Yes was first...I saw Rush a couple of months after the new drummer joined the band....Neil somebody....
Some of their songs fill entire album sides.
