This tune makes me think of Return to forever, a very exciting jazz-rock band with Chick Corea, Al Dimeola, Lenny White and Stanley Clarke. A lot of similarities, big suites, odd time signatures... RTF was a little more complicated as they were jazzmen (two were ex Miles Davis' musicians), but I love the spirit of this era, very written music with place for improvisation. nothing in common with shit like Nirvana or Artic monkeys.

These guys & others from the same period didn't just write 'songs', they composed suites & symphonies..so many incredibly gifted musicians, demonstrating their genius. Remember the limitations of technology 40 & 50 years ago...these legends wrote & played such amazing music. Never seen since!!

Such wonderful comments, so refreshing to see such positivity. Chris Squire, that's a huge topic from band member to listener, absolutely missed by all. Yes has definitely become fragmented, notwithstanding still out there with some variables on both camps.

Such a mastery of their instruments and creativity. The duel between Wakeman's organs and Steve Howe's guitar. Magic. Jon Anderson vocal is still so powerful and in tone.Chris Squire can still be the centre piece of any band.

“Heart of the Sunrise” (1971) was co-authored by Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford and Chris Squire. It clocks in at 10:34‼️ Jon Anderson singled it out as one of his favorite Yes compositions and explained how it was conceived for live performance : “‘Heart of the Sunrise’ is a great piece. One of the things that was always important for Yes was to create music for the stage to perform, not to make a record. We were lucky to go in the studio and make records, but our main game was to put on a show and entertain the audience, and in doing so we put that into the record. So by ‘71, ‘72, we were stretching our wings to do longer-form pieces on stage. I got into this whole thing about doing a 20-minute piece, because in those days you could only have 20 minutes on each side of an album. If it had been 30 minutes, it would have been a 30-minute piece.” This complex composition with various time signatures and a classical influence shows off Yes’ virtuosity. Jon Anderson stated : “I’d been listening a lot to Stravinsky at that time, who was quite an amazing composer, and the band were fans of modern music at that time. Weather Report and bands like that were doing far reaching jazz-rock influenced music. So we were jumping into different structural composition.” Interestingly, the vocals don’t come in until about 3:40 in, giving “Heart of the Sunrise” one of the longest intros in rock history‼️ 💙🌅💜

When Chris Squire comes in at the beginning you know you're in for a ride.....what an amazing talent.

Couldn't get enough of this and the Fragile album my first Yes album....played it over and over in 74.

Just amazing!!!

The fathers and grandfathers of Rush, Dream Theater, Spiral Architect, Cynic, Pestilence (Spheres era)...BTW what a rhythm section has Heaven now as Neil Peart passed away, with Chris Squire, two of the most talented musicians ever born, RIP Goat and Fish!

Never gets old. Forever music.

So good LIVE!!!!

This was the best lineup of the band! Everyone is a genius in their craft. A band with a unique style and sound. It is a shame it took so long for them to get into Hall of Fame.

I am so sad about Chris Squire... i can't believe he is gone. The YES will always be the band of my life.

No Jon no yes the voice is the band, always has and always will be, and the geeks have proved it 110%

Steve Howe is one of if not the greatest prog rock - rock guitarist ever, he is in the top five of greatest guitarists overall to me and other Yes fans. As it was with ELP and Genesis, .every single musician was at the top of the highest echelon of musicians. We were all so fortunate to grow up on this music,. to be able to have seen ELP on every tour from Tarkus (when Yes was their opening act) up to but not including Love Beach for ELP, and for Yes anything after Relayer was not interesting to me. I have tried, but those early incarnations, and the way that Alan White was able to slide into the drum set and get pretty close to the perfect Bill Bruford. Yes had troubles with keyboardists but that middle period is unmatched by any measure.

I never tire of watching Steve Howe play on stage. Competence, confidence, both to the max, but most importantly, a really soulful player. A rare combination. I saw Yes in 1973 with elbows on the stage, and it was a huge influence on my playing and writing. They occasionally played as an orchestra of electric instruments and my young mind was opened wide by that. I wasn’t then, and am still not, thrilled by virtuosity for its own sake which they were certainly ‘guilty’ of, but they were a real band making beautiful art of rock. They grooved, which was kinda the point and always will be.

RIP Chris Squire. Thanks for everything.

This is absolutely incredible!! ❤

I never ever get tired of this. We used to follow them on tour through many states . YES ‘ music has stood the test of time and will always be here for all to appreciate!

I believe Yes were so great and the type of music they composed was that they grew up in era where European classical music was still prevalent. I am sure this had a strong influence on them. My first introduction to Yes was the Fragile album, then I became enamored with The Yes album. The Tales Of Topographical Oceans was an LP, a vinyl record, two actually, that I literally wore out. Close To The Edge, and Relayer were more incredible albums, then they started to sing about Don’t Kill The Whales and Yes lost me at that point. Latter on the members of Yes realize that it was the second through fifth albums is what core fans wanted to hear, and that is what they played when they rejoined to tour again. I will say that Chris Squire, may he rest in peace, though along with Stanly Clarke (a different genre) made me decide to give up the guitar for bass guitar. I even bought a Rickenbacker 4001 bass guitar strung with Rotosound medium gauge bass strings just to get Chris Squire sound. I feel I was fortunate to had seen Yes live five times, that in high school I made friends with a group of Yes Heads, and more important was Yes was the only band my father would let me play their albums on are home stereo through the speakers. Yes is a progressive rock band that composed music for intellectuals not for the likes of ACDC fans.

One of my sisters used to listen to The Yes Album and Fragile and Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven all the time in the early to mid 1970's. When we went on vacation to Upper Michigan she had this horrid monophonic cassette player always going, but I had no idea then how bad it was. Even now when I hear this stuff it still brings me back to my childhood and those summer days in and around Huron Bay... gives me a weird melancholy feeling as if the music was actually echoing down all those years.
