If you grew up in the 70s on this music, there is little of anything since 2000 that could ever compare. We were truly blessed. Yes, the greatest prog band of all time.
Still gives me goosebumps after decades of listening to it.

@@EvilSean62 I tear up every time I hear And You And I. There is something really touching in the song. The classic YES (Anderson, Squire, Howe, Wakeman and White )had some magic and spiritual mojo no other iteration of the band had, with the possible exception of the Moraz version

Rick Wakeman (ex-keyboardist) said that when they wrote this one they went for as much emotion as possible in this song! 👍

It is ethereal. My favorite Yes song.
The joyous thing about Yes is watching a young persons reaction to a group that I have loved since the 70’s and discovering how much the music is still loved and appreciated by a new generation
Thank You Salvo. This is another level to music. No one else aspires to this because it would be fruitless. There has never been another vocalist to match Jon’s tone and impassioned percussive delivery. He has always said this is his personal favorite song to perform. Their DVD Songs from Tsongas can not be topped. Rick Wakeman shines on the keyboards.

Listening to YES was one of the best things.............listen to "Starship Trooper" where Chris Squire (bassist) blows minds.................
I've seen Yes in concert more than any other band, and they never failed to blow me away. Their musicianship is next level, and Jon's voice is always incredible. Thanks, loved your reaction! 🤟
You were born too late my friend! You should have been around for this era of epic music! You would have loved it! I am SO thankful that I was born in 1959, which put me in jr high & high school in the 70s, and in my 20s during the 80s. Music was a huge part of my life and still is. I am happy for you that you are now discovering the treasures from those magical eras. If you like Yes, you should check out Emerson, Lake & Palmer too. Have fun!!!

Hey Bev, I too was born in '59. We sure lucked out didn't we, as far as music goes?
Steve Howe’s guitar playing reaches into your soul. Sadly, Chris the bassist and Alan the drummer are no longer with us, and Jon doesn’t sing with the band anymore. Steve and his guitars are still there though. I recommend “To Be Over” from the Relayer album.
'And You And I' is the most spiritually uplifting song of pure love ever written. I've been listening to it for half a century, and it's never lost its magic. Every time, without fail, warm, radiant waves of joy ripple upwards through my body and it's as if I'm rising up through layers of brilliant clouds to the clear sun-drenched sky above.
Saw them do this dozens of times, mostly with Wakeman. Seldom omitted. The most beautiful and powerful song I have ever heard from anyone living or dead. A true spiritual experience.
Yes is so enduring that snippets of their songs are in movies & commercials. They are so recognizable it's almost a homage to the 70's, we baby boomers that did things in grandiose fashion & demanded the same from our music. Yes has always been the soundtrack for my life. This song always gives me goosebumps & causes my eyes to water. What a magnificent era.
Steve Howe is playing the pedal steel guitar (aka the lap guitar). It’s actually fairly popular in country music, but rarely used in rock. Steve uses it in quite a few songs and it’s beautiful.
Is that a masterpiece or what? From the greatest album of all time!🤩

Jon Andersons voice is one of my all time favorites, his solo stuff is incredible as well!
Practically all Yes music will blow you away and take you to corners of your mind and soul you never knew existed, but none will “transport” you like Gates of Delirium. It will leave you speechless and simply in awe.
another world of music just like their album covers
I saw Yes in concert, fabulous night, they sounded just as good or better, live. It was special ❤ one of the very best of their time! When Pink Floyd broke up, I was wanting more…then Yes came on the scene, they always lift me up and make me feel light and happy. YES!!!
I saw them on this tour in Vancouver, and actually met Jon Anderson in a restaurant across from the venue before the show.
One of the masterpieces of music and creativity ...this whole.period.of 1972- 1978 music was.crazy.gokd. unmatched todsy.
Howe is pretty amazing, isn't he. Pedal steel guitar, acoustic and electric . . . Squire drops in his little harmonica cameo. Anderson's voice was perfect that evening.

I don't know who wouldn't be watching at the end - this is a masterpiece of a song, and it's great to see your reaction to it. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
They, like other progressive bands, can easily fit in with an orchestra. Rock on.
My favorite performance of this for sure. Have loved Yes since 1977's "Going For The One" album and keep listening in pure awe.
I am old now and I was introduced to this song when I was 10 by my brother who was 10 years older than me and it is still my favorite song. What the song means to me is the unconditional true love between two soal mates and their journey through life. together together.
It's most beautiful. Such a great reaction.
And back in the day, this was listened to by many stoned people. And good that we have another "greatest band of all time" as well.
I am still gobsmacked after 50 years of hearing my favorite band playing all of these gems in so many ways. You do not need drugs to trip out with all versions of Yes. Keep listening to all the solos, too. Rick Wakeman has 100s of solos albums all by himself, so just listen to all of his top 20 albums as a start. I picture Wakeman's fingers dancing on multiple keyboards .....Billy Joel lyric on Piano man...and the piano it sounds like a carnival....that captures the essence of rick wakeman. Tom Breslin and an entire orchestra perform the Wakeman parts here in excellent fashion. Soaring musicm cresting waves of emotional manipulation in a positive musical way....pure bliss. You understand this thoroughly... you dig it! Live your genuine reactions are joy. Keep going. Fyi....Jeff Beck will blow your mind as well. Cheers!
Great reaction. I'll say that Yes takes me to that blissful place without the drugs. That's what makes them so great.
Your jaw drop is priceless. 😁🤗
I saw Yes in 1979 on a rotating stage as they were dressed as minstrels at MSG. I was hypnotized. Thank you for this.
Emotion as an expression of musical excellence, just sink into the depths such perfection
Jon Anderson is impossible to classify, he is one of those gems that is rarely seen in the world of music.
Yes.is my favorite band I'm 54..been listening to them since I was 13 years old..they are a gift from God..they have taught me alot

YES and Pink Floyd. Jon Anderson and David Gilmour.
I love your reactions man! And I'm glad you connected with this song. The studio version of this (from 1972's Close to the Edge album - yes, this song is 50 YEARS OLD)is the one that got me into Yes back in my youth. A couple of things that may have been pointed out by others: the instrument being played by Steve Howe is generally called a pedal steel guitar, most often associated with country western music. Steve is pretty much a master of that instrument and there are several uses of it in Yes music that will rearrange your brain. -- The animation of the metallic figures with the wings was added for the DVD and were not part of the original live performance. I have the DVD and those animations can be turned off, and that is the way I like to watch and listen so that I can see the band at all times. -- Chris Squire is amazing and his addition of the harmonica is legendary. It does not appear on the studio version of the song yet when I hear that recording now I miss how it creates such a homey real feeling to the music. Billy Sherwood, who was Chris's hand picked successor, has carried on the tradition and plays the harmonica during that section as well. It truly is a magnificent piece of music and is a piece I tell folk to listen to if they want to get a good idea of what Yes is all about. Thanks again! (future Yes songs to review: Wonderous Stories, Turn of the Century, To Be Over, and if you want to get crazy and experience the band at their most insane (technically and musically) Sound Chaser.)
So to this day.. After all the songs I have heard with great introductions.... This is the GREATEST intro of all time... At least in my opinion...partially because it's such a great intro.... but also because of what's coming... incredible.
It’s not only totally beautiful music , as is always with yes but the words are just as beautiful. You and I , a journey of love between two people, the conception and birth of a child made from ‘ emotion reveled as the oven made”
Over the years and decades, being able to introduce individuals to yes has made me feel almost as if I were able to provide a bounty of oxygen to the somehow starved/deprived. Never failed to bring great joy to those who experienced this wonderment for the first time. Thank you.
Hi Salvo I discovered Yes at the tender age of 15 back in 1972 (yes i'm 65 now) I found your channel a few months ago and look forward to your videos. Its great to see your expressions and commentary when watching and listening to bands like Yes, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc you have this sense of awe just like I did when I first discovered these bands. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video. Take care Terry.
Yes. I saw them in Cleveland in 1982 (the year I graduated HS) and I alway wished I had been old enough to see them in 1973 or so. Still, they were all together and only 9 years older in 1982 and they put on a show that my friends and I will remember until we’re pushing up daisies. 🤘🏼❤️✌🏼
I was fortunate enough to see YES three times in Milwaukee, first time in maybe 1974? I was still in high school, once in 1977, and once with the orchestra although I don't remember the year. I sure wish I could recapture those memories. They say our lives flash before our eyes at death, so I hope I'll get to see the shows again.
Absolutely the best rock band of all time. Just take a minute and actually listen to their music. Modern beethoven.
That was my teenage years encapsulated. My first ever concert was 1973 at the Rainbow Theatre in London. Front row. I was totally enthralled. Get goosebumps still 😇
Left you loads and loads of recommendations. Please please do the studio version of Close to the Edge. Best piece of music ever written. Thanks for noticing Chris❤ and for the warmth of your reaction. There’s so much more too 🎉

If there is anything better than knowing one of these pieces well and then hearing it done live, it must be experiencing it with other people who get it and appreciate the marvelous and intricate construction. These video reviews give me the feeling of watching it with those knowledgeable others.
At the tender age of 74, I can say that I can still enjoy this band as much as I did when it came out. This is one of the few concerts that I ever went to. However, I have CDs of most of their albums. It was truly a different era in music. The creativity of YES and ELP has yet to be matched.
Yes is the GOAT ofProg rock!!! Each concert I saw was outstanding and beautiful!! They sound just like their records!❤🔥🔥
'And You And I' is a song about love. Jon Anderson almost always dedicates it to "his Janie" whom he has loved for decades. They were wed in 1997. Truly uplifting and this video, along with the song itself, show the tremendous power of love. We need more of it now. Jon Anderson, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford, and Steve Howe all had a hand in writing it.
This music is the “drug”, in a good way. Thx 😃
YES and orchestra come together as one. Beautifully done!😎
I saw this tour at a winery in WA. state. Outside, small ampitheater, great atmosphere.
Just Pure Talent
All this, a complete symphony orchestra and the Yes lineup playing their instruments.. and then you get Squire playing harmonica??? It still astounds me the amount of talent this band had. As for their music, if you have a spiritual bone in your body, it’s screaming for more Yes music.
I've seen them have 10 minute standing ovations mid song when they've performed this.
so funny to watch a novice experience YES. I grew up with this in the day. Seen many times Live. PURE GENIUS !
Ooh nice treat for a Friday night under the stars here in England ❤ I HIGHLY recommend doing the symphonic Gates of Delirium
'Close to the Edge' is another brilliant song and yes as you say at the end listening to them with a joint is another dimension and I did.
Wow. That version is literally better than the studio recording.

Hi Salvo! Yes is one of my fav groups ever! (Roundabout is my fav by them, but this is a close 2nd!!) If you don't remember me, I am your sub who came in for your Pentatonix reactions but was really thrilled to see you reacting to my all time fav rock band Heart (I practically worship Ann Wilson!). I love it when you react to all the great music from the 70s & 80s. Thanks!!! Edit: Such a work of art!! It's ethereal for sure. Takes you to another place up in the heavens!
YES❗The greatest band on this or any other planet❗
A truly beautiful song enhanced by the orchestra. Jon’s voice is still glorious now as with the original.
Another YES masterpiece.
"There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify" is the line that Joss Whedon got the name for his production company from (Mutant Enemy).
Love your appreciation of Yes, Salvo. You get the virtuosity and trancendant nature of the music these guys created in the 70s. The Roundabout video from this same concert is a lot of fun. The players from the orchestra join the band on the stage dancing to the music. Of course, the Rainbow Theater version is worth a watch, too, because it's 1972 when the guys were young and on fire..
You should definitely do Close to the Edge. Do the studio version first. It is arguably considered to be the greatest progressive song ever recorded. It is a long song but definitely worth the time and listen!

I am generally biased towards studio versions before the live, but this sounded great! Someone else suggested that if you like this, you should check out Emerson, Lake and Palmer (ELP) and I completely agree. But after that, check a band called Asia, which included Steve Howe, the guitarist here, Carl Palmer, the drummer from ELP, and some other greats. And if you get that far, you'll read about them all 😄 Glad I stopped to listen. Thanks, SG!
Seeing Yes in concert with a psychedelic enhancement in 1974 was (as you put it) an otherworldly experience, LOL! I've seen them 3 times since, entirely coherent, and still otherworldly.
Love it! This Album and song make my heart SWELL with POSAITIVE energy! and being stoned or tripping makes it even better! Magical! Thanks for the video!
Just love to see how Alan White could pass these passionate energy to the whole performance!
An expanding blessing bomb of rainbowcious dazzling dawn. Such an incredible piece. And a great reaction. In a word, Yes.
Wonderful to see such an uplifting reaction to my favourite song by my favourite band. Makes me happy I, "discovered", Yes in 1972 ! : )
Transcendent. In 47 years for me, Yes; never gets old. I doubt if you'd react to it, but it reminds me of another live performance that not many are aware of called: John Miles, the song "Music". Live with Orchestra. Another magical moment in time.

Roundabout from the same concert is amazing
Glad you hit on this concert, amazing piece of work. If you thought this was good then try the 'Holy Trilogy' from this same concert namely Close to the Edge, Gates of Delirium and Ritual (featuring amazing solo from Chris and drumming extavaganza fro 4 of the 5 band members). I find myself playing these regularly back to back. Mind blowing! No distracting visual effects.
Great reaction. Should definitely check out the Close to the Edge studio version too especially the Steven Wilson remix for highest fidelity.
Thanks!
This has always been one of their most powerful and emotional pieces. If there is such a thing as a perfect record album, Close to the Edge was it and this song was the centerpiece of the record.

I can't imagine being in the Orchestra playing my trumpet with them. That would have been epic.
This is a very impressive performance of one of Yes’s best songs!!! Me Breslin on key s and extras with orchestra plus harmonica
I discovered the Yes album that this song came from, called Close to the Edge, at about the same time I discovered LSD. Needless to say, some of the most extraordinary experiences of my life have happened with this as background music. That album is one of my handful of essentials, those few I'd be happy to have as my only music if I was left alone in the world.
I saw them on this tour, wonderful.
I would suggest listening to the album version too.
