❤ You and I. Love this song. Thank you.

Close To The Edge was an incredible album that has stood the test of time for decades and is still one of the best albums ever recorded! The creativity and musicianship displayed are simply staggering!

Rick , you are still one of the best performers. Brilliant.

Hundreds of albums in my collection but all these decades later I still gravitate towards Close To The Edge far more often than all the rest.

What a fantastic human being Never fails to bring humour and Beautiful music together

Oh Rick that was wonderful.

Rick Wakeman THE FINGERS. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

Wonderful Rick. You have given an old song a new dress. Shining beauty. Wish I had been in the audience...

I saw him do this live in April 2023 in New Hampshire. Just enchanting.

Wakeman can play anything effortlessly

This is one of my favourite songs from YES. When I get tired of music and different songs and some of the mundane things of life I put this on and it is like a breath of fresh air. It takes you on a journey and away to a very peaceful and fantastic place. I put the piece up there with anything done by Bach Beethoven, Rachmininoff. This rendition is very evocative and it shows just what a classical piece of music it is at its root and as RIck says very melodic. After the music is over I feel refreshed and I can enter the world again!!!! Thank you YES!!!!

One of the greatest musicians to ever have lived and more importantly the most entertaining and funniest.

Absolutely a rare earth metal. More to the point, a sincerely great entertainer and common person that just likes to give his all for the benefit of anyone that needs some inspiration in a world going mad.

One of my favorite songs from my favorite piano player. What a truly amazing gift. Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️

thank you Rick for all the music!!!

God Bless You Rick Wakeman when you play you always give joy not as the world gives!

Beautiful!

One of my favorite Yes songs. After all these years it never fails to give me happy goosebumps at certain parts. Thanks for your part in putting out into the world.

Utterly wonderful- as it always was! The sublime creativity of Yes, Jon's amazing voice. A magic time of endless possibilities, before . . . . . . . The shitshow that is life today!

And You And I is one of the greatest prog compositions! it drips with melody, passion, and yearning to know and be more.

As always, the very best. History will smile on you as much as your fans do.

The melodies and the rhythm counterpoints were always my favorite parts of yes music. And you're wonderful keyboards of course.

Thank you. That was wonderful, and produced warm, rich memories for me.

Flamin' legend

Fantastic. Thanks Rick for sharing this amazing song.

Rick wakeman and yes , no other group come anywhere near Pure perfection

What a masterpiece. Great job Mr. Wakeman

Amazing rick.❤

I listen to many kinds of music. Prog is some of the most melodic music I've ever heard, particularly Yes. Anderson and Co were absolute masters of melody.

wonderful interpretation in wonderful place

Legendary pianist

Dear Rick thanks for the music you give to us❤️

You Rick, & y'all YES guys are one of God's great gifts to us rank and file. And like good wine in good oak casks you aged well, grown seasoned in years healthy, in dignity, without scandals. God bless y'all.

Great Artist a living legend.

Um Rick... you are at a level where you could make "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" sound melodic on a piano. Or even on a jaw harp. Rock on! This is beautiful!

Wonderful!!! It'a amazing!!!

Absolutely fantastic ! ❤❤❤

No words can adequately describe this performance save one... here we go... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Boom!

Sigh..you, Jon, Steve, Chris & Bill truly hit the heights with this song (along with CTTE & AWAKEN...) The middle part is purely sublime. Your piano adaptation is a joy, Rick.

Totally agree. The heights. If I had to reduce Yes's catalogue to one song, I would pick "And You And I" as their best tune. It is original, clever and beautiful in the extreme. To me, this song had the catchy, emotion filled, melodic hook of a top 40 pop tune, while at the same time, not one iota of artistic integrity was lost. "Roundabout" would be the hard rocking second choice, for me. Popular music can sound gimmicky over time. Great songs do not. I place a high value on accessibility without losing artistic integrity. It takes great talent and effort to be that good. Yes could be that good.

Great translation of the vocals, no "melody" complaints here

I feel like this is Yes music at its greatest. Pure joy.

The first album I bought, all those years ago. Brilliant.

This is so absolutely beautiful. I love this. Genius!!!!!

Bravo bravíssimo maestro Wakeman !!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Terrific version Rick, thank you for sharing!

You can tell when YES still works so well when it can be stripped down to just solo piano and still sound brilliant. Thanks Rick!

BRAVO!!

Beautiful arrangement of a masterpiece Rick. I wore out Close to the Edge listening to this and all the other wonderful songs on it way back and still can spend hours listening to Yes and their great music. Thanks for the different piano arrangements you have made of so many great songs.

The legend! This version is brilliant!

Just seen Rick at The Barbican in York, an absolute genius and the beauty of some of the music can bring a tear to the eye!

Thank you

Thanks for this gift, Rick. It allows us to revisit a well known tapestry of sound rewoven with a new loom.

Rick....Did you ever dream many, many years ago...that one day you would become an internationally famous concert pianist, able to play anything at the drop of a hat, with no sheet music? Bravo!!! You've done it!

Saw you perform this piece Rick, last friday Feb 25th here in L.A at the Ace Hotel Theatre. I was in tears it was so sublime. I listened to you talk about your creative process; So enlightening and close to my heart in my own creative process as an artist and architect. You gave me a gift with this performance of "And You and I" that I will take with me for the rest of my life along with the amazing music you have made and I have enjoyed since 1976 when I was 15 and discovered progressive rock... and your soul-touching work.

That was gorgeous Rick

That's what I'm talkin' about. Thanks Rick.

When you have incredibly talented musicians like there were in Yes when Bill Brurford was still playing with them, you come up with one of the best albums ever Close to the Edge. It's 2023 and I'm still listening to them.

Super!!!!

I could watch this man forever, yes are one of my favourite bands, especially when it includes Mr Rick Wakeman

Stunning! A legend. I am here as saw him 2 weeks ago at The Bridgewater Manchester and it has reignited my love of Wakeman and all things Yes! What a beautiful rendition of 'And you and I' Just epic and joyful! ❤

Gran talento

The last time I saw the classic line up in Glasgow I think it was, this was part of the set. Jon’s voice was faultless and it was THE best performance of AYAI I have ever heard, I was in tears at the end.

Lovely

Pure Bliss! Definitely one of the most beautiful and creative pieces from Yes

I usually click on alerts to KZread videos at the speed of light, when it comes to piano music videos...You can ask Vika.. 🙂 But, Sir, you're Rick Wakeman himself, playing a piano cover of one of your own creations, be it as yourself, or as the band Yes....And I couldn't click any faster as soon as I saw my alert...Too bad I didn't hear it when it hit my phone...But glad I'm here..enjoying this beauty of a performance...by one of the greatest! 😎

Gracias Muchas gracias

Atta Wakey

Remarkable ..... it really is lovely as a solo piano piece, in the right hands of course. Well Done !

Thanks That was wonderful! Thanks for sharing your extraordinary talent with us for so many decades. Wishing you love light and good health!

A legitimate master

A true legend, of the keyboards, and you make it look so effortless, keep on tinkling them ivories Rick🎹🎹

this is pure emphasis of the peripheral chords, simply to highlight the vocal and instrument leads.... sublime

That was really really good. Thank you. So glad I got to see you live so many times so many years ago.

Brilliant!!

Thank you.

Awesome!one of my favorites !

Beautiful! Thanks, Mr Wakeman!

THANK YOU For That!!! That was beautiful. AWESOME TOO!!!

That was amazing.

WOW

Happy Birthday Rick!

My all time favorite song....my all time favorite band....And You and I....Yes.

Enorme !!! Claudio desde Río Gallegos - Argentina

Thank you, Rick!

Rick... Thank you God bless your life.

that was amazing Rick, love it

I first got inti Wakemans music back when I was in my mid Teens after listening to early Yes albums at a friends house. What I also loved about Wakeman was his down to earth attitude and humour that contrasted sharply with the 'serious' nature of Yes's music ( Especially when I heard about the ordering a curry from a local Indian talkeaway during a gig and a few minutes later the said curry delivered to him on stage by a roadie) and I've been a fan ever since. He's a national treasure and may he continue tickling those ivories for many years to come.

Awesome Rick!

Thank You Rick Jon Bill Steve for such great music

Absolutely beautiful

Моя любимая песня от Yes.. Я плакал от неё.. Особенно когда был пьян.. У меня безответная Любовь..

Simply fantastic. Rick Wakeman is one of the most under rated keyboard players ever.
