Chris,....a very musically gifted man. Thanks for the great music.......Rest in peace.

Hermoso tema tremendo bajista fue Chris Squire Pilar fundamental del grupo yes tremendo musico

Chris Squire solo album Fish Out Of Water to me is the best solo album ever absolutely beautiful,soooo...missed man.❤😢

Best Rock Bassist Ever ! .... Full Stop .... RIP Chris ..

I have begun to realize his genius ability on the Yes, Tales of topographic oceans album. I will never get tired of hearing that album.

You were the best. I miss your voice and especially your bass talent. Gone too soon. You were Yes. RIP.

What a treat and to top it off with Bill Bruford on drums and Patrick Moraz on organ (stage left) is icing on the cake! Simply put, there will never be another bass player like Chris Squire.

One of the best. Chris Squire's solo album was such a great achievement.

What a beautiful song.

At the age of 66, I occasionally think about and even revise my personal list of ten greatest albums. “Fish Out of Water” has never left my top five in almost fifty years. It is truly the perfect mating of a great singer/bassist/songwriter with a wonderful orchestral arranger. Truly a perfect album. I wish CS had done more solo work during his period of greatest creativity.

Absolutely agree. This is a FANTASTIC and largely unknown album. It betters some Yes albums. Chris did some “solo” work much later on, in collaboration with Billy Sherwood, and it was garbage compared to this.

@cedarwaxwing3509

@@markdaniels7174 A fair amount of credit for “Fish” also has to go to Andrew Price Jackman for his brilliant arrangements and orchestrations. I don’t mean to sully his memory, but I think Chris’s substance abuse issues later in life drained a lot of his creativity. When you compare his writing and brilliant playing up through maybe “Drama” with his later contributions, his decline as a creative force in Yes is obvious. In interviews, he sometimes said he’d like to do a second solo album, and there are occasional Squire contributions in the Yes canon that would have made amazing solo album contributions (e.g. “Parallels” from GFTO, “Onward” from Tormato, “Open Your Eyes,” even as late as “Can you Imagine” from Magnification). I think Sherwood made it a mission to try to keep Squire productive, so I appreciate his efforts, but the Conspiracy material just wasn’t the same. But at least we got one perfect album out of Squire, and I agree that it is not only the best of the solo albums by the band members, but was actually better than some Yes albums, which will here go unnamed!

This is so good, like the Beatles, shows the best of Yes, embodied by his vocals, which he took pride and executed so well, and made it a British song, who made rock music.

his songs always have this sense of beautiful grandeur - brilliant

Met Chris at art gallery celebrating Roger Dean's work. He signed by the fish on YES' TOTO album art in Roger's second book. Was so awestruck, I barely said a word, just 'Please sign this, Chris?' Best Music Moment for me.

I like how Chris looks at the flutist during his solo. Proper showmanship there.

For those who might not have already have known if there is anyone, Fish Out Of Water really makes you aware of the HUGE importance Chris was for YES ! FOOW is also probably one of the most powerful 4 song albums in history, his absence will always weigh heavy on my heart. A wound that just doesn't seem to heal😢

God bless you Chris!!!

Why do I adore this song so much????!!

Thank you for this Remastered version. It's very important to maintain as much clarity as possible with the finest bands in the history of music. One of favourite songs ever written. We miss you CS.

That was so nice. God what a talent he was. Miss him, to realize there will be no more new Squire is so depressing. He was beyond being the greatest. He was really an artist in a class by himself.

Brilliant.

Wow wot a song the very talented Chris Squire When those solo albums were made I always thought how many more great yes album could have been created had they took the best songs from their solo albums Pure genius I’d Chris Squire along with Jon Anderson ❤

Sensational song by Chris from his powerful solo album. Lovely to watch this. Am in awe.

Thankful for my dad raising me on classics like this

Presumably whoever was in charge of the lighting for this video was duly fired.

The absolute best.

Simply fantastic !!!!!

Beatles vibes.😊

Touching song man! Damn!

Wonderful!

What a beautiful track and that bass is nasty. Always a happy welcome return to this tune.

This is one of the best Chris and Yes I love. First time I listen this song my friend cranked it in 1975 Rest In Peace Chris You will be in our memory always

As a life long Yes fan and Chris Squire worshiper (as a bass player), I never heard this gorgeous song before. I got chills and felt a bit euphoric, like Yes and Brain Wilson had a baby. What a song! And I thought I heard a lot of Squire’s solo stuff!

This video is the true reason I know and love yes. Some time ago all I knew was Roundabout, because of the bass line, (I play the bass) and I’d tried to listen to the rest of Fragile but I could never really get into it. And then I saw this video pop up, and after ignoring it a couple times, I played it and loved it. So I decided to check out the rest of the album, and you can imagine how excited I was when I heard the transition from hold out your hand to this, I fell in love with the band and Chris Squire. Thank you!

Чудный Крис, спи спокойно, мы тебя помним и любим!

This had to be one of the weirdest gigs these classical musicians ever did. Yeah, the kimono on a guy Squire’s size had to be something to behold… My only question is, where’d Chris find it? I’ve been to Japan a couple of times and never saw anyone over six feet tall! Great video of one of the most iconic bassist of his generation, thanks for sharing! RIP Chris Squire!

​@@vintagemxer9165😂 what is the attitude here?

A song of its time, for its time? It is typical of the age and genre, but it lacks the...consequence that comes the gift of greater musical economy and utility such as are the hallmark of great popular song. Such songs work only within the scheme of an album that is through composed and designed to be listened to at a single sitting (as was once always the case), but a listener today, unprepared for its...meanderings, would likely be challenged to embrace its musical pretensions absent that context. I wonder, what came both before and after this song on the album. Where in the albums emotional 'arc' does it fall?

The trouble with wearing a full kimono on your videos is people expect to see you in it when you're shopping at the grocers.
